I just came over from Sprint 4 days ago and had my number ported over. When I send a text to another number, it shows up on the other phone as coming from email address and not my phone number. For example, if the recipient of the text has me in the contacts as "Tom", the text comes to them displaying my email address instead of "Tom".

cfm007,
Welcome to our family. We want you to be able to enjoy all the services we provide and we definitely need to address this. Do you receive/make calls without problems? Are you able to receive messages with your contacts' number? Are you using iMessages? If so, go to Settings>Messages>Send&Receive>only your phone number should be enabled.

On a tip from a friend who once had a problem like this, I went to Settings>General>Reset>Rest All Settings and now only my phone number is enabled in iMessages; so, it's fixed. Apparently, when I originally restored the new phone from iCloud, the iMessage settings got messed.
Thanks.
