Hello 1_CrazyJ,


To set where messages originate from on our iPhone, follow these steps:


  1. Tap Settings > Messages > Send & Receive
  2. Under, "START NEW CONVERSATIONS FROM", disable all except for the phone number


This should force all messages to be sent using your phone number rather than an email address.


Have a good day.
