Imessage and ATT text email

I tried to put my ATT text message address into iMessage on my iPad. It sends a verification to my iPhone but the message is too long an broken up to respond.
I went to the apple store - ATT problem.

All you have to do is open a separate browser on your computer and manually type the whole website in... Or you can copy and paste it in... Time consuming but it works. If you have sent the verification email multiple times use the latest one. And also I think the link is only good for a short period so do it fairly quickly.... I did this earlier today and it works, but if you send a message from the iPad it is doing a weird thing where it sends one from your cell number and one from your cell email.

  • Receive iMessage and SMS text in one window

    I was wondering if anyone knows of a setting or whether its even possible to receive an iMessage from an iPad and a SMS text from a non Apple phone within one chat window when they both are coming from the same person. Someone text's me throughout the day from her non iPhone. When she gets home and hops on her iPad, she sends me messages from iMessage. This opens two different chat windows. Any way to fix this?

    I'm sorry, Apple will not read this. They do not participate in the forum. If you would like to provide them with feedback about this, you can do that HERE. Then click on the appropriate link. While switching between iMessage and SMS in a single conversation is possible, remember as I said, you are conducting two separate conversations, because they are coming from two separate devices, that are actually crossing platforms.

  • How can i remove my phone number from imessage and just use email address ?

    Hi all
    I've searched all the forums and still can't find an answer for what i need (what i think i need!)
    I have an iphone without a data plan so whenever anybody who is registered with imessage sends me a message i will not
    receive it until i am back on wifi.
    What i want to achieve is to be able to receive sms messages from imessage users when i am not on wifi and then imessages when i am back on wifi.
    My assumption is that if i can unlink my mobile number from iMessage and only have it associated with my email address that this should work, but i cannot seem to remove my phone number from imessage, in the settings > iMessage > send and receive it will allow me to un-tick the associated email addresses but my phone number is greyed out and will not allow me to untick.
    On my home Mac i can go into messages app and deselect the phone number but not on the iphone.
    One solution says to deregister my phone on https://supportprofile.apple.com/ which i have tried (i can't see how that would work anyhow as there is no phone number in that registration)
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated,
    thanks, Andy

    Regardless if using your cell phone number or your Apple ID email address, iMessage requires an internet connection via an available wi-fi network or via your carrier's cellular network. Without a data plan and no internet access with your carrier's cellular network, an iMessage addressed to your email address can be received only when your iPhone is connected to an available wi-fi network no different when an iMessage is addressed to your cell phone number.
    You cannot deselect or remove your cell phone number below you can be reached by iMessage at with iMessage on an activated iPhone. The iPhone's phone number is activated along with your Apple ID.

  • Iphone and att uverse email account problem

    I just purchase my iphone and am having trouble with setting up one of my email accounts. The email address is with At&t Uverse service.. When I add my pop and smtp information and p/w it comes back as an invalid user id or p/w. I am 100% certain that I have typed the correct p/w. I then went to my Gmail Account (which I have been able to set up on the iphone) to try and add the att uverse email account and it is coming back with an error of incorrect pop information. I did call uverse service and they were of no help. If anyone has an idea please let me know... Thanks, John

    One thing that might help.
    Here is an article from the att support website that might help out.
    http://helpme.att.net/pdf/uverse/uversehsi_qsgenglish.pdf
    When you get an incorrect user name or password error on iphone or any other device, it is a response sent from the server. So, you hit the server you entered into host name of the email set up.
    Hope this helps.

  • I have a new iPhone 4S, have noticed when texting some of my contacts with iPhones that my text sends on imessage and the text duplicates itself.  how do i stop this from happening?

    I have a new iPhone 4S and have noticed that when I text a friend with an iPhone it automatically send the message via imessage and sends the text twice, how can I stop this from happening?

    Your phone is setup from default with iMessage turned on. Your friends phone obviously isn't. I have a friend that has an iPhone 3G[S] with an old phone plan that didn't require a data package and he's just been swapping the sim card for 5 years. When he's at home, his phone is on wifi and it sends over iMessage. When he's at work on 3G the phone defaults back to text message because he doesn't have a data plan to send iMessage over. The phone isn't actually sending 2 messages. You send in iMessage and if the other phone is off of iMessage, it will resend to that phone as a green text message. That person never got the blue iMessage you tried to send because their iMessage wasn't working.

  • How can I only send imessages and not texts on my iphone 4S

    I have turned OFF Send as SMS on the settings of my iphone. However the phone still allows me to send text messages using the message facility. I am aware that green equals text and blue equals imessage.
    I would however like to disable or at least have a reminder before sending a text in order that I do not get billed for sending photos attached to text instead of as imessages
    I thought that turning OFF Send as SMS in the settings field would prevent me sending texts and only allow imessages to go out, but this does not seem to be the case
    Regards
    Dave

    You can turn off sending pictures messages except as iMessages by going to Settings>Messages>MMS Messaging and setting it to "Off".

  • Is there a way in which you can deliver messages only through iMessages and not text messages .  If the other iphone user has switched off the data services then the message gets delivered when the user switches on the data services.

    I want messages to be delivered to the other person only through iMessages . Is there a way to disable text messages being sent to the other iphone .

    In message settings, disable the send as SMS setting. That does mean any message sent to a non-iMessage enabled device will just not get sent.

  • Why doesn't my iMessage send to certain iPhone users ? And others as email address but Im on my phone?

    I need help ! Why is it not letting me use iMessage with one person specifically big it sends to others with my email address not my phone number? Anyone ?

    Hi,
    This has to do with what addresses you have linked with you Apple account and which you have set as a default to send/receive from. If you go to Settings--> Messages --> and note that your iMessages tab at the top is switched to "on" then scroll down to where is says "Send & Receive" and it will list something like your iphone number and any email addresses you have registered with Apple (I happen to have four addresses, 2 gmail, 1 icloud, and 1 me.com). Click on Send & Receive and whichever ones are selected are those that you will receive messages at or send from. If you scroll further down the page it says "Start new conversations from:" and you can select the one you would like to be the default whenever you're sneding from apps and the like on your iPhone.
    Depending on which address a person has as your contact (and assuming that address is also listed under your addresses in the iMessage section), is why you might receive texts as just an iMessage and others an email address.
    Also, if you go to Settings-->Mail, Contacts, Calendar: it'll show all of the email accounts you have associated with your iPhone and scroll down further you can see and change which is your default email account.
    I absolutely loved my iPhone 4, it has been a solid workhorse and a true pleasure! I hope you enjoy yours as much.
    Cheers~

  • Pictures that are sent to me both using iMessage and texts won't load on my iPhone

    I have received many pictures from other phones, both iPhones and other non iPhones. iMessage and standard text messages have both contained pictures. However when I want to view the pictures, I cannot. When I click on the pictures it takes me to a black screen that says its loading but it never finishes. I have left it loading for over an hour with no luck of seeing the picture. I have tried it on many wifi networks and both 4g and 3G cell service with no luck. I have now figured out to save the picture then enter the photos app to look at the picture. While this solution works, I simply want my pictures to load when I click on them so I can see if it is one I need to save. Any help on how to fix the problem?

  • Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?  Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

    Apple is great!
    Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?  Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).
    I compose an iMessage with the destination as my email address and I attach 2 photos I want on my PC.  I send them several times from my iPhone 5C but they never arrive. I look at my ipad later and realize that it's iMessage app is getting ( and swallowing) these emails. I then turn the ipad off.  Still can't get the photos through because iphone is now getting them on it's iMessage.  I turn off the iMessage feature and try to send photos from text msging.  Phone tells me it can't send photos unless iMessage it turned on.  What happened to regular MMS text messaging?  I go and try to send photos as an email attachment and see that there is no option to attach from the stupid email program.  I look up online to learn about the brave new world of apple attachments and send them.
    Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?
    The email program on my iphone is not configured to remove messages from the server.
    If iMessage is turned off I don't have the issue.
    Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

    Did not work. I've selected iMessage to ON and left it. After a few hours I recieved a message "activation unsuccessful. Turn on iMessage to try again". This has been going on for the past 3 days.

  • FYI: iMessage is only free if you are in a WiFi setting. Otherwise, you pay per text. And ATT will charge a minimum of $20/month for texting, in addition to your data charge and rest of bill.

    I'm not giving up my iPhone, and I don't mean to sound angry. But ATT pushed me over the edge. Would love to hear who others use for their iphone carrier and what options are out there. Could this be any more complicated or more of a racket? All I want to do is use the phone the way it was intended.

    Sorry my post was confusing.
    Yes, my husband went from a regular phone to an iPhone when he changed. I went from a Blackberry to an iPhone. We both have to pay the $30 fee to have a smartphone. We both were able to text before. However, because mine was a Blackberry, ATT doesn't allow the text option to come across w/o paying additional (on top of the $30). They just upped that unlimited texting fee to $20/month (from $10/month).
    And yes, after my phone call this morning, that is the first time anyone pointed out to me that "green = imessage" and "blue = all other texts". Sorry. I'm just not that in tune with texting to realize that on my own.
    And yes, I was really excited when I updated my firmware to iOS 5 because many of the folks I texted also updated and I could finally text a few customers again.
    However, the whole issue about being in a WiFi spot in order for iMessage to really be free... no, I had no clue about that, nor have I ever heard anyone say that until ATT told me today.
    Part of this is because I just don't make the connection between being able to use my phone in this spot or that spot. I, very naively, thought that when I paid for service it was available.
    Again, this could not possibly be any more complicated to the average user. I thought I was an above-average user but I realize I am very low on the list of knowing how to manage a smartphone effectively.
    I'm just very frustrated that it takes so much time to be able to effectively use a smartphone and so much money to try to have one. It's just very very frustrating.
    And yes, my husband has been the one monitoring the account. He just didn't mention that I'd been going over on previous months. Apparently it hasn't been much. Just frustrated about the entire issue, all the way around.
