    Sign into iMessage using the same ID (in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive).  The other phone should then see your messages too.

    is their any way to stop an iphone 4s from using data when i hit the 2gb limit on verizon wireless this way i dont have to pay the fee for extra data

    Don't know of any way for it to happen automatically, but you can still use the phone and send/receive sms with cellular data turned off.

  • How do I send a message to my iPhone using Find My iPhone?

    I've activated Find My iPhone and can locate my phone.  However, when accessing the iCloud web site, the option to Send a Message to my iPhone does not appear with any of the other options like play a sound, lost mode, or wipe phone.
    Has this feature been deleted/disabled?  If not, how may I access it?
    Thanks in advance.

    The feature has been disabled, so now you can only play a sound on the devices

  • Does messaging to/from iPhone to/from iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch count as a text charge for Verizon?

    My dad has an iPad 2 and my little brother has an iPod Touch (4th generation). As long as there is a Wi-Fi signal, they are able to message, Facetime, and use the internet all for "free" (no extra charges from our internet service provider, which is obvious).
    My dad recently purchased an iPhone 4S from Verizon.
    He is currently on the "Pay As You Go" plan for messages ($0.20/text and $0.25/picture and video).
    When are messages free, and when are they not free? Are they free as long as there is a Wi-Fi signal? Are they free as long as it is from the iPhone to another iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch? Do I get charged for data only when I see the "3G" symbol displayed in the upper left corner of the iPhone?
    Thanks in advance!

    I then turned Wi-Fi off on the iPhone 4S but had "Send as SMS" turned on, tried sending another message to the Touch (Wi-Fi activated), and it did not send at all (because the Touch is SMS-incapable).
    That sort of makes sense, but even with wi-fi off the 4S should have been able to send the iMessage over 3G to the Touch, which was on wi-fi.  Your results would only make sense if the 4S didn't have 3G service, or if the iMessage servers were down, or if you've turned iMessage off completely on the 4S.  That would force the message to go out as SMS but the Touch can't receive SMS.
    Sorry, I was a bit unclear there.
    I had both Wi-Fi and Cellular Data (3G) turned off to see if "Send as SMS" alone would work if I was sending a message to an SMS-incapable device (to see if the iPhone would try anyway and to see if I would get charged for that).
    I'll type out some scenarios, and tell me if I'm wrong on these. They might seem redundant since you have pretty much answered all my questions, but I want to make absolutely sure that I understand. These could also clear things up for others who will/have read this discussion.
    Scenarios involving iPhone 4S to iPod Touch (both running iOS 5):
    4S has Wi-Fi, 3G, and "Send as SMS" turned on. Touch has Wi-Fi turned on.
    4S can iMessage to Touch via Wi-Fi (as long as there is a Wi-Fi signal) free of charge and will remain free of charge and with no accrued data usage because 4S prioritizes Wi-Fi before 3G before SMS.
    Once out of range of the Wi-Fi signal, 3G kicks in and any iMessages sent from 4S to Touch will count towards data plan usage (in my dad's case, 300MB/$20 per month - the minimum plan). However, data size will be insignificantly small if it's a simple words-only message and will only be a fraction of a percentage of the 300 MB.
    My dad turns off Cellular Data (3G), Wi-Fi is still out of range, and he sends a message (keep in mind that "Send as SMS" is still turned on). Because the Touch is not capable of sending/receiving SMS messages, the message will just fail to send.
    These scenarios would also have the same outcome if the Touch had been a Wi-Fi-only iPad. If the iPad had 3G capability, the message received from the 4S would have added towards the data plan usage of the iPad.
    Scenarios involving iPhone 4S to another iPhone (both running iOS 5):
    Both phones have Wi-Fi, 3G, and "Send as SMS" turned on. Messaging plan for each phone is "Pay as You Go" - $0.20/text and $0.25/picture or video.
    iMessages are free and do not count towards data plan usage if both currently have strong Wi-Fi signals.
    4S still has strong Wi-Fi signal, other iPhone gets out of Wi-Fi range and switches to 3G. Any messages received by the other iPhone from the 4S will count towards data plan usage of the other iPhone. However, the outgoing message from the 4S will still be free and will not count towards data plan usage.
    Other iPhone turns off 3G and is still out of Wi-Fi range but still has "Send as SMS" turned on. 4S (with strong Wi-Fi signal) sends message, "I love you." to other iPhone. The message will still be free and will not count towards data plan usage for 4S but will charge $0.20 to other iPhone.
    Scenario involving iPhone 4S to Samsung Galaxy 2 (running Android OS):
    4S has Wi-Fi, 3G, and "Send as SMS" turned on.
    Any message sent from 4S to Galaxy will count as SMS because Galaxy is incapable of iMessage. Therefore, Wi-Fi and 3G are insignificant, and 4S is charged $0.20.
    4S has Wi-Fi, 3G, and "Send as SMS" turned off.
    4S will not be capable of sending anything.
    4S has Wi-Fi and 3G turned on, but "Send as SMS" is turned off.
    4S has strong Wi-Fi signal, but message will not be sent to Galaxy.
    4S gets out of Wi-Fi range and 3G kicks in, but message will not be sent to Galaxy and no data usage will have occurred.
    That should be everything...at least everything I've considered.
    Again, thank you.

  • Automator does not find items accurately using date stamps

    Greetings
    I am trying to write a simple workflow using Automator. Just check the creation/modification date of some files, and then do some work with them.
    It does not do the job right.
    If I ask for the files created or modified today, it finds well the files it has to find.
    But if I ask automator to find files created or modified last n days or weeks, it fails to select the proper files.
    Even worse, if I order it to select files, say, modified before july AND after august, it select files, when it's impossible a file can be last modified, created or whatever according that clausule.
    My system is an iMac bought on summer of 2011, with Mountain Lion 10,8,1 (I'll upgrade next week, after backing up all my stuff) and catalan language. I am stating that last bit because I wonder if there's an issue with the day/month/year date format we use around here, instead of month/day/year
    TIA

    What was your solution? I'd would love to know how to get Pages to work with Automator. What I want to do is import Word (doc)s to Pages and then export out to (pdf)s.

  • TS2755 iPhone 5 on ios7 doesn't receive messages from other iPhones when data is turned off

    My iPhone 5 doesn't receive iMessages or texts from other iPhones when my data is turned off, obviously I do not expect to receive iMessages but I also cannot receive text messages. Text messages can be sent but not received. Text messaging to and from people with androids and blackberries is fine.

    That is because iPhone users would be sending you iMessages. The only time you would receive them as a text is if they have theirs turned off, or it is set to send an SMS if iMessage fails. At some point you had iMessages activated, and if so, that is how the iDevices will send to you.

  • Does not appear possible to use date formatting in interactive reports

    I've an interactive report displaying a column of data type = date. When populated with the result of "select (sysdate) from dual;", regardless of what data type conversion (to_char/to_date) or what time formatting is used (attempting DD-MON-YYYY HH:MIPM), the displayed time is always 12:00AM.
    Thanks!
    Paul

    Can you post a small example of what you are trying to do on the hosted instance of APEX from Oracle? You are trying to get the following:
    SELECT TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'DD-MON-YYYY HH:MI PM') test_col FROM DUAL to format properly?
    It returns: 18-NOV-2010 09:51 PM in a one column report for me..

  • HT201386 Does it use data to migrate from iPhoto?

    Does migrating iPhoto to photos use data or is it all done in the cloud?

    You must get the movie onto your iPad somehow. If you download it while on Wi-Fi you will not use cellular data. Once the movie has been downloaded you will not use cellular data or Wi-Fi.

  • How to use data-sources tag in struts-config.xml

    hi all,
    I am doing programs in sturts. My program purpose is to retrieve data from the database.My database is MySql. I know that we can write connection code in Action Class, it is ok for some less prog's if i want to use the sane connection code in more Action Classes it is vasting time and so.
    So i want to use <data-sources> tag that is available in struts-config.xml. I know that thre is tag with this name, but the problem is i don't know how to use this tag. If any budy know how to use this please tell me the syntax or any example.
    plese... reply soon..

    so.I don't think it's a good idea to put database code in Action classes. (That's one of the biggest drawbacks of Struts - it's completely tied to Actions, HTTP, and the Web.) Better to move that code into plain old Java objects and let the Actions call them.
    You'll be able to test them without the container or Struts, and you'll be able to reuse those objects in other, non-Web contexts.
    So i want to use <data-sources> tag that is available
    in struts-config.xml. I know that thre is tag withThis is the wrong place to configure a connection pool, too. Struts should have nothing to do with it. What if you change Web frameworks to WebWork or Spring? The connection pool should be configured in the container that hosts your app, not Struts.

    this tag. If any budy know how to use this please

  • HT201299 what does it mean when you get this message on the Iphone? "online maps consume data traffic"

    what does it mean when you get this message on the Iphone? "online maps consume data traffic"

    That means that if you use online maps, it will consume data. If you're on WiFi, no worries. If you are on cellular data, then it will eat into your cellular data plan.

  • Does the iPhone use a lot of data?

    I'm planning to get an iPhone from AT&T, and here's how I want it:
    AT&T Family Plan (550 minutes) with 2 lines
    Messaging 1000
    2 GB data package for iPhone
    The second line won't have the messaging or the data plan and will most likely have a basic phone.
    But here's what I'm kind of concerned about: how much data does the iPhone use on average? Will 2 GB be enough?
    Also, as a subtopic, how does the messaging 1000 plan work? Does it mean that I can send 1000 texts/pics and also receive 1000 texts/pics, or is it 500 each? What about for 2 GB data? How does that work?
    This last question may be a stupid question, but will the two lines share the same phone number, or will each get a different number?

    You can use this to estimate your data usage,

I have tried resetting the network and phone settings. I have restored the factory settings on itunes and still the problem persists.
