Hello Sieghard. I too like sending I messages to people who have I messaging capability.
What I'm trying to say is, if I send I messages using my I phone without associating an e-mail address, so I use my mobile number to send rather than my Mac, I am unable to send as I messages and so the normal text messaging will be used. If I want to send an I message using my phone, I have to associate let's say my e-mail that I'm sending from. Before, when using IOS5 when I message started, I could send I messages to people without having to associate my e-mail address (this was always done using my mobile). The Mac did not even have I messaging capability. So what has gone wrong here, I don't know. All I want to do is sending I messages using my I phone using my mobile number but I don't want to associate an e-mail address with it i.e. my present e-mail address. I hope all this makes sense. Kawal.
