I have an iPhone 5c, when I send iMessages my contact receives them as coming from my email address. I went to Settings to change this but my phone number is greyed out and my email address is in black. It will not let me change it to my phone number.
I can't find the "Start new conversations from" section.

Go to settings on the iPhone. Go to the 'Messages' settings. And select Receive At.
See what it says there. It should be your phone number not Apple ID or email.
If you have a Apple email listed. You can remove it by.
Clicking the 'Apple ID youremail@me.com'
You will get a popup which lets sign out thus removing the mac email address.
I have seen people set up iMessage in two ways:
- The default manner where you accept messages from all email, phone that you have attached to your Apple ID (and this implies that people can send you message to more than one "address" and that conversations will not be threaded).
- By restricting the receiving addressed so that people can only send you messages to either one phone number or one email address so that threading of all messages is forced.
You can change your settings on each device - just go to iMessage and disable all but one email and/or phone number for receiving messages. On iOS 6, open the settings app, tap on Messages, tap on Send & Receive, and ensure that only one address for being reached at is selected.
The downside of the second method, is you have to get everyone to only send messages to one account. The default settings were probably designed to ensure that all messages get to you even if it means they don't get threaded and assembled into a unified view.
