IPhone 5S sending messages through email?

So my iPhone 5s started sending messages to other people with iMessage using my email instead of my number. I turned it off, tried turning it off and back on, I try clicking on remove email but I can't bc of my Apple ID. Can someone please help?!

What do you mean b/c of your ID? Either add your phone number as the primary source for iMessage and Facetime or remove the email address. Your email is currently linked.
Happens a lot. See below.
Best luck.

  • Why my iPhone is sending texts from email? My parents cut my data off about a month ago, and all I've had to do was just wait to have Wi-Fi to text and it sent iMessages normally until yesterday people were telling me they're getting my texts from email. Also, I'm not getting texts from them unless I text them first. This is so irritating because I don't know what to do.
  • Why is my iPhone5 sending some messages as iMessage and others as Text Messages? I understand that messages are sent as Text Messages when there's no signal or poor Wi-Fi connection. However, I'm successfully texting some people using iMessage but others (still iPhone users) as Text messages. The other person will send iMessages and then my responses will be sent as green Text Messages.

  • Sending videos from iphone to email? My friend tried to send me a video on her iphone to my iphone via messenger but it didn't seem to want to send it. She says there's no option to email that video, so am wondering if there are other apps that make it easy for you to send videos to either my iphone or my email address?
