Heres my problem. I dropped my iphone 4 s and now when I send an sms, if it goes as an imessage the recipient says its coming from my email address & not my phone number. 1- how can i change it back but also 2- is imessage usually sent from phone number and not email correct? Should I re-sync my phone? Additional info: iMessage says I can be reached for messages at 2 addresses, my phone and email, the email cannot be removed. PLEASE HELP IM OCD ABOUT MY PHONE AND THIS ISSUE IS DRIVING ME MAD!

To identify your iMessages as coming from your phone number go to Settings>Messages>Receive At>Caller ID and select your phone number rather than your email address. Also, the email can't be removed because this is the email address linked to the Apple ID you are using for iMessage. If you really want to remove it you have to go to Settings>Messages>Receive At, tap the Apple ID at the top and sign out.
