how can I configure my face time to use my telephone number instead of my email address?

FaceTime uses your Apple ID (which may also be your email address). It is not an SMS connected service, so would not be identified by your phone number, as are text messages or picture messages.

FaceTime is only available between Apple devices, including iPads, and Macs.
