No, I'm not - it will default to using that as the outbound ID even on a data-only plan, because iOS doesn't know it's a data-only plan.

The fact that you must go and manually change it to your email address for outbound iMessages is the part that's invisible.




My iOS knows because it runs on an data-only device (iPad mini with cellular).


Do you suppose that might be because your iOS knows it's not on a phone?


What is a "phone"? Is it a device with a rotary dial? Or is a device capable of making voice/video calls. A cellular iPad mini, IMO, is simply a mobile iOS device with a 7.9" screen. It can make/receive calls similarly to the 4" screen iOS device (think FaceTime audio, Skype, VoIP, etc.).
