Texts coming via email instead of Texts
Certain texts are coming to me via email vs. texts. Or when send to someone via text, it goes to their email? How do I get this to make sure they only go via texts?

I have US Cellular (assume there is a SIM card in there)
Coming from non-Apple users
##########@vzwpix.com (persons phone number@) or another was ##########@mms.uscc.net

Okay,
I have 2 ideas on what might help fix your issue:
1: Go to Settings>Messages>Send as SMS and make sure its toggled on
This is probably unlikely but the other idea of mine is to reach out to the people with Android and make sure they are Texting your Phone Number and not your email as I have had this issue happen to me before and that was the problem.
Your final option is you can reach out to US Cellular and ask them if there is anything wrong on their end and ask your friends to do the same.
Hope this helps,
Cheers!
Hello I think I know what you are talking about, Could you please answer a few questions for me for me to further help you?
1: Do you have a SIM card and Cell Phone network (This is different than a Data only Plan Commonly found in ESims)
2: Are you receiving messages from People with an Android or a non Apple Cellular device
3: Are your messages coming in on the Messages App with the name coming in as an Email Address or are Texts going to your inbox, Thanks :D
Thank you!
I am glad this helped, If this problem is now solved please mark this question as solved or if I helped please mark my answers as "Helpful".
Thanks!
