My S8 active keeps sending text messages to emails instead of the phone.  Ive tried just putting in the number and it stil goes as an email  Is there a way to fix this>  C smith

Ok so for clarity @CjSmith 

You send a text message from your phone and it goes to the recipients email address  ?

If you open up messages and choose Settings, More Settings, Text Messages is your Messaging Centre number in there ?

@CjSmith: Is this occurring on all contacts, or just specific ones? As a troubleshooting step, please try removing the email address from any affected contacts (Apps > Contacts > Select Contact > Edit), ensuring that they also have a mobile contact number entered in the correct field, then try sending an SMS/MMS again. Does the issue persist?
