Why doesn't my name show when I send a text message? When I send a text message, my name does not show up to the recipient; only my number.
Is there some way to change the settings to have my name show up instead of the number?
The recipient would have to have your contact added in order to associate your name to your number. 

Also, sometimes the format of the number would matter: it's better if the recipient copies the number as it appears when you send him am SMS.
