question about iPhone 4 regarding SMS - MacArtist - 07-13-2011
Evidently when I send a text message, it's not identifying me to the receiver of the message. Which makes for some interesting replies.
How do I fix this so they know it's me?
Thanks!

'Fil,

My Number...FaceTime...TTY...Change Voicemail Password...International Assist
No "Show My Caller ID"

after some googling...
It looks like a Verizon iPhone user has to call customer service to change this?
That's all I could find.

I have many contact's numbers entered twice- once with the standard format, and once with *82 as a prefix.
This lets me know who's calling (standard format) and when I call or text to the *82 number, they know who's calling or texting.

When I just dial any regular number, my number is still blocked.
I control who see's it and how doesn't.

I wasn't aware you could ever get a text message to show your identity, unless you were already in the recipient's contact list. I always figured that's why so many folks I know have a sort of 'sig' of their name appended to every text...
