Hi
At the moment when I send or recieve iMessages it comes from my phone number and other people iMessage my phone number.
Now on the iMessage settings screen on the send/receive section of my iPhone it shows you can be reached at ( with my cell number ticked and it shows some email addresse icloud and me email addresses too) it also gives me an option to add an email addresss.
I have added an email address like a hotmail one and verified it. Now my question is. I want to be able to send and recieve iMessages from the new email address I have created and on the iPhone I have it set as ( start new conversation from and it has a check mark next to my email address)
Does this mean that if I give my email address for someone to contact me by iMessage that it will only show them my email address and not my cell phone number when I iMessage back and forth?
Because on the other screen it shows send and recieve 2 addresses and it has my cell number and email address checked.
The end result I am looking for is for any specific new people I want to iMessage I just want them to see my new email address when it comes to iMessages.
Sorry for long complicated post. But hope someone can answer.
