I would try turning iMessages of and maybe restarting your phone. Then go back and turn iMessages on. You will have to sign in with your appleID and password, but your phone number should be detected and you should be able to receive iMessages sent to that number. I don't think you can stop iMessages from being received at your email address, but They should also be received at your number. You can also go in to the caller ID section of messages and select your number as the from address people will see when you send an iMessage. I can't help with the mac messages problem but if you are running mountainLion, you can receive iMessages on your mac as well. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jenifer To: iPhone list Sent: Friday, September 07, 2012 6:27 PM Subject: iMessaging problem.
Hi all. I'm trying to activate iMessages as receiving from my phone number, not my apple id. But I keep getting an activation error when I turn it on. I also have a mac that I have the messages feature, but don't know if that's iMessages or not. Help with activating iMessages on my phone number, and keeping it on would be appreciated! Also, I know iMessaging works only through wy-fy, so do I have to reactivate it every time I get back onto wy-fy?
