I can not send a sms message with my iphone4S ios 5.1

I can send as mms and call but I can not send sms

So you did not read about iMessage before you bought the iPad? If you did, you would know that you can only text other iOS 5 users.

I am currently abroad in France, and I can not send any SMS messages.

I am currently abroad in France, and I can not send any SMS messages. iMessages works fine. I have checked the setting, and message sending to SMS is activated. I have also reset my phone. Could you advise on why I can not do this please?

Hi
It could be a case that the network you are connected to is having problems.
If you go to Settings > Carrier > Turn off Automatic > This will prompt the device to do a manual search. Once completed chose a different network and test.
Also is it a particular number it's failing to or have you tried a few?
Let me know how you get on.
Thanks.

Yes I have turned imessage off a number of times and that does not seem to he doing the trick, and it is not delivering them then I have to press on the photo and either chose try again or send as text message, I have had the setting on to not allow sending pictures as texts (so they can only send as imessage) since I got my phone in January and it has always worked until now, I have turned that off to allow me to send them as picture messages now but it's still not working over iMessage, I have also tried it using 3G and not wifi

Both of those are carrier features, contact your cell phone provider and ask them why.

Iphone 5 can not send out sms

my iphone 5 can not send out sms since i changed to this iphone 5 on 8th oct , i have reset the phone many times,
i have restored also.
i put the sim to another i phone 5, it worked perfectly, when i put other sim card into this problem iphone 5,sms can not
send also.
therfore it is concluded it is the iphone problem rather the sim/provider problem.
how do i get apple to replace a new iphone 5.
for information, a few of my friends are having the same problems.
please advise on next course of action.

What you have to do is a clean restore inside of iTunes. A backup is required just so your iPhone isn't erased.

My friend has an iPhone but doesn't use iMessage. How can I send her regular texts with the new iOS 7 update?

My friend has an iPhone but doesn't use iMessage. How can I send her regular texts with the new iOS 7 update?

That's because her phone is recognized in the Apple database as an iPhone. It should eventually convert to SMS but that's above my level of expertise here so hopefully someone else can come along and help you further. She could just turn on iMessage and solve the problem. Ha!
Good luck!

Can Not send pictures and documents with my webmail, the link is Not visible on Safari Browser

Hello, i can Not send pictures and documents wit my tele2 webmail, the link to so this is Not visible. I tried Safari, Opera, and Dolphin.

Safari doesn't support the attaching/uploading of files. If you want to send documents or photos that you have stored on the iPad then you can use the Mail app - if you've set up your email account on it, then you should be able to start in the app that contains the document, and then use that app's functionality to select the document and attach it to an email e.g. in the Photos app you can use the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it to select and email a picture

How can I send an SMS message to a group?

I cannot seem to figure out how to add a second recipient to the SMS message. I routinely beep out messages to the 5 people I work with, I'd hate to send it out to each separately.

At this time, multiple recipient SMS messaging is not supported on the iPhone.

Exchange 2007 server will not send intra-organisation messages with attachments

Hi we have a problem with the Intra-Organisation connector between out Dubai and London office.
If they send us a plain message it is delivered OK, however if there is any attachment most of the time the message sits in the queue and continually retries. On some occasions messages do get delivered.
The errors vary between Connection Timed Out, Connection Dropped and 10061, No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.
As Dubai have a dynamic IP address they route all of their external mail via London and that is all going through OK. All of the other sites can send and receive OK with attachments both internally and externally.
To me this looks like I have a problem with the Intra-Organisation SMTP Send Connector on the Dubai server but I cannot spot anything that might be causing this issue.
They have worked previously however another issue did involve removing the Dubai server from the domain and adding it back in. Since then we have had this problem.
I have checked message size limits on the Send connector (100Mb) and the Transport settings (100Mb). I have checked the message size limits on the Intra-Organisation SMTP Send Connector (unlimited) and even on the user's mailbox (unlimited).
Any idea where I should be looking next?
Many thanks, Eddie

Hi Ed,
I think you may have hit on the problem - this is all one org so having read up more on this it should not be using this.
I spotted that the server was using this connector when I was looking the message tracking for the server and started looking into what it does and how to control it.
I used the Set-TransportServer command to set protocol logging on this to verbose, it get entries in the SMTP send logs like this:

Queued mail for delivery,
So it does appear for some reason that the local mail server thinks it needs to use the wrong connector even though both servers that are in the same domain. It is odd that it only seems to affect messages with attachments.
Can you give me any suggestions to try and find the root cause of this problem?
Many thanks, Eddie
