IMessages sending to iPhone without data/wifi

Hi all,
When I text my friend with my iPhone it goes through and says "delivered" however it is sending through as iMessage. My friend however has no data plan. I thought it was when she had wifi but the times I texted, she didn't and it still went through as an iMessage. I checked her settings and texts/messages only send/receieve to that number, and same with mine. When I send the message, I try and highlight the message to see if it will allow me the option of "sending as text message" but it sends right away, the message "delivered" comes up and when I highlight the message my only option is to "copy."
This has never happened before, only within the last two to three weeks. I don't know if it's an update issue but it's bugging the both of us. I tried the exact same situation with my brother who has data (and I put his iMessages off) and it will automatically go through as a text message. So now it comes down to me always having to go to my iMessages options and disabling it just to send a text to my friend which should regularly just go through.
Any help is much appreciated!!

Figured it out:
She recently enabled iMessages on her iPad. All the messages were sending there...but what still confuses me is that the messages went through even when she didn't have wifi on either devices...
ah well. I'll save that for another day. I've solved my frustrations lol. Thanks for the help!

  • Message sent as iMessage instead of text for iPhone without data

    My iPhone does not have data. When I am in a wifi zone iMessage works and texts are received. When I am not in wifi, anyone who sends me a text from an iPhone using iMessage does not come through. Is there a setting where iMessages get automatically changed to text messages when receiving messages

    Hey there lg2222,
    It sounds like you are not getting iMessages from other people when not connected to Wi-Fi. I would first do these steps, if you have not already:
    The first step to resolving an issue with iMessage is to update your iOS software and your carrier settings to the latest versions. If iMessage still has an issue, follow the steps below for your issue.
    Then use these troubleshooting steps to help isolate and resolve the issue:
    To resolve issues with sending and receiving iMessages, follow these steps
    Check iMessage system status for current service issues.
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and make sure that you registered iMessage with your phone number or Apple ID and that you selected iMessage for use. If the phone number or Apple ID isn't available for use, troubleshoot iMessage registration.
    Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify data connectivity. If a data connection isn't available, troubleshoot cellular data or a Wi-Fi connection.
    iMessage over cellular data might not be available while you're on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn which network your phone supports. If your network doesn't support simultaneous data and voice calls, go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi on to use iMessage while you're on a call.
    Restart your device.
    Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
    If you still can't send or receive an iMessage, follow these steps
    Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
    Make sure that the contact you're trying to send a message to is registered with iMessage.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and recreate the contact in the Contacts app. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
    Back up and restore your device as new.

  • Does imessage send to iphones(with imessage) without internet?

    im considering getting an ipod and i want to know will i be able to imessage people even if i do not have access to internet?

    Yes, you need an internet connection, not just an wifi connection since the Apple servers have to know where to send the messages.

  • IPhone without data subscription possible?

    I have an iPod Touch and would like to upgrade to iPhone 4. First of all to get camera and GPS. I don't use my cell phone a lot, and maybe I would move my number to the iPhone if I can find a plan with micro-SIM for calls only. For my use, data plans are way to expensive. I use the Touch on WiFi and that covers almost all my needs, hence the idea to forgo any data plan.
    I know I would spend a lot for a "Touch with benefits", but I had a small lottery win and that would pay for the unlocked iPhone. On the other hand, to pay for data that I don't really need would cost even more over the term of the fixed contract.
    But to make sure that I get what I expect, I have the following question:
    If I buy an unlocked iPhone 4 and use it basically as a very expensive Touch with camera and GPS, are there any consequences? In other words, is there any feature that does not work or does not work 100% if there is no micro-SIM installed? Or if the cell phone subscription only allows for calls, not data?
    I hope someone can help me.

    As long as you buy the unlocked version from Apple...
    You need a microSIM installed (or a cut down normal SIM) to activate it in iTunes, you can borrow one or get a free/cheap pay as you go one. You can then choose whether to leave it in or not.
    As long as you are on WIFI, everything will work fine apart from Phone and SMS.
    If you disconnect from wifi, Maps and GPS (and other online services) won't work as they only get your coordinates and upload them for parsing to google et al.

  • Existing ATT customer - upgrade to iPhone without data?

    I'm not sure what's stopping me from doing this, so I'd like to bounce it off of you guys. My friend is upgrading to a 3G and will sell me his 2.5G iPhone very cheap. I'm on a family plan for ATT and currently have a Razr.
    I've popped my SIM card into his 2.5G phone and it works fine -- I can place and receive calls. Naturally, what worries me is the EDGE connection, as I don't have any kind of data plan.
    If I continue to use the iPhone, I assume I'll get hit hard with charges for things like email/stocks/weather which will continuously use the EDGE network even when I don't want to. If there's someway to disable that, and just use wifi (I have it everywhere) that would be optimal. I don't mind losing visual voicemail or anything, it's just an opportunity that's tough to pass up since he'd be selling me such a nice upgrade for so cheap.
    I've looked online and found an add-on called Services.app which will disable EDGE, but I'm not sure if this is effective or necessary. Can anyone shed some light on this situation?

    I think I get the jist. My mom (who purchased the phone as a gift) said she was told that the extension will go on for my number however at the end of her original two-year agreement she will be able to take advantage of upgrading her phone while my upgrade is technically being triggered now (AND A **** OF AN UPGRADE AT THAT, if I do say so myself ;))
    Merry Christmas everyone and thanks for the past and future help

  • Facetime/Imessage issues on Iphone 4 on wifi-ios6

    I have an Iphone 4 that is only used now for facetime and imessage.  Neither FACETIME or IMESSAGE will work now since upgrading to ios 6.
    It states waiting for activation.  I have turned both IMESSAGE and FACETIME on and off multiple times, turned the phone off and on, checked general settings, the restrictions settings...nothing works now.  The Messages won't send and the facetime attempts to connect and then drops.
    This needs to be fixed ASAP.
    This is madness.
    Please help.
    Thanks

  • New Computer and how to sync the iPhone without data loss

    I have installed a new Operating System on my PC.
    Now I want to sync my iPhone with the new installed iTunes, but I can't sync my programs, music, videos from my iPhone back to my PC without losing my data.
    itunes don't save the music Rating into the ID3 Tag, so if I import my existing media library into iTunes I will lost informations about favorit songs
    I have also installed many programs with settings, login information and other data on my iPhone. How I can keep this information?
    How I can keep my:
    -music ratings
    -installed programs
    -program data
    Can anyone help me?

    Where is your computer's backup of all important data that should include your iTunes library and should have been created or updated immediately before installing a new OS? Did you lose all important data when doing do or just your iTunes content? The iPhone is not designed or intended to be used as a backup storage device.

  • How do you play music from a playlist on an iPhone without using WiFi and iCloud?

    I travel in a RV and frequently park in campgrounds that do not have WiFi. I've been told I can copy iTunes playlists (selected from my copied CDs on my Mac) onto my iPhone 5S. I can then, using a mini stereo jack go from the output on the iPhone to the aux input on my DVD player and thereby play my playlists of copied CD music on my RV sound system. All well and good except I tried my Music app on my iPhone and could not find a play function. I found the iTunes Radio but that only seemed to work with a WiFi connection. What am I missing?
    As you can tell, I am not experienced with the iPhone although I've used a Mac for years. Is there a basic tutorial on how to accomplish my stated task or at least use the basic music function? I've tried to find something on the Apple website but haven't been able to find anything yet.
    Thanks in advance.

    Chris -
    Those 2 playlists were a total of 498 songs. I have just been using the default rate when I load a CD and click on import into iTunes. Is there a better way? My second 2 playlists have about 330 songs plus about another 20 I'm going to load today and then stop and see about syncing them on my iPhone as well. I've gotten about half of my CDs imported. This is obviously a do-as-you-get-time task that will take quite a while. Not so much importing the CD, but listening to at least a couple bars of each song to see which I want to put on a playlist.

  • My friend has an iphone with no data plan, how do i send sms messages without my own iphone trying to send an imessage

    i have an iphone5 with a data plan, my friend has an iphone5 with no data plan, 
    how do i send sms messages to him without my own iphone trying to send an imessage
    im sure we can tap on the message and select "send as text or sms"
    but is there a setting that says 'if recipient has no data, then send as text' - so its more automated
    almost like the setting that says 'if i have no data then send sms'.

    I have an iPhone 5s with a data plan but I have iMessage turned off. Everyone I know with an iPhone has no problem sending me texts and they automatically go out as sms. If your friend doesn't want others to send messages via iMessage even when he has wi-fi access he can turn iMessage off in Settings > Messages.  If that doesn't resolve the issue see the quote below from (ignore the non-Apple phone references): Can’t receive text messages on a non-Apple phone
    If you don't have access to your iPhone, or if you can't deactivate iMessage from your iPhone, please contact Apple Support. Support for this issue is free.

    Your message on your screen shows up blue if sent as iMessage or green if sent as regular text.  If not connected to wi-fi or cellular data, iMessage isn't available to/from.  Both of you need a data connection for iMessage to work.
    But your message on the recipient's screen will show up white.

    Is it possible to recover my data from iCloud backup without working wifi? I have as many other upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS 7.0.2 with the result that the Wi-Fi or Bluetooth no longer works. However, i can connect to iTunes via cable but there is wrong version of backup.

    Answer is no.
    If you want the iCloud backup you have to have n internet connection, thus WiFi.
    The not working WiFi has happened with quite a number of users.
    It is not exactly clear what is the cause but there are suggestions to clear it up:
    Some people have had success by removing an apostrophe from the iPhone name. If your iPhone is called something like “John’s iPhone” then this might work. Go to Settings > General > About > Name and change it to something with no apostrophe.
    Some people have reported success by putting the iPhone into Airplane mode and then going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings, but the problem may return.
    You could also try going to Settings > Control Center and disable Access on Lock Screen then turn your iPhone off and on again.
    Make sure that your router firmware is up to date.
    Try backing up your iPhone and then restoring it. Check how to factory reset an iPhone for details.
    If nothing is working for you, try contacting Apple or take your iPhone into an Apple Store.
    Succes, Lex

    Hi
    You should ask your relative to physically take the iPhone to the store rather than shipping it because as diesel vdub has said:
    "No Apple store will accept an iPhone shipped to them"
    All you have to do is safely pack and ship your iPhone from the Philppines to your California-based relative.
    HTH?
