When my wifi is off and I'm away from my home connection - it shows wifi off (unless I turn it on to check my email etc.) - and in the settings cellular it shows "voice only". Will I be able to receive and send texts in those settings? Or check voicemail. I had wanted to keep my email from coming in all the time and only want to check it periodically - so I turn ON my wifi when I want to check my email. But when my wifi was off away from home- I hadn't seemed to be getting my texts. So- do I need to keep wifi roaming connected when away from home to receive and send my texts in real time. (which is what I want) or am I still able to send and receive texts with my wifi off when I'm away from home. (When I'm home I am connected to my home data plan automatically through wifi and I get texts when I'm home - but I'm thinking I'm not getting texts in real time - is it because my wifi is off when I'm away from home? My cellular shows voice only when my wifi is off away from home. Am I doing it right to receive and send texts away from home? Or do I need to open up the wifi in order to receive and send text messages. I know that I would need to turn on wifi roaming - which will use data - for email checking or sending - as well as to use browsing apps and now I'm guessing to receive voice messages I may have missed? So do I need wifi on to receive texts too? Thank you - GregorySC
Hello GregorySC,
In order to send and receive SMS or MMS messages, you will need to have an active cellular data or Wi-Fi connection.
You will need these to send and receive iMessages:
An iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
iOS 5.0 or later
A cellular data connection or a Wi-Fi connection
A phone number or Apple ID registered with iMessage in Settings > Messages

Why cant I receive and send text photos to a phone that is not an iphone
Why cant I receive and sent text photos from my iphone 4 to a phone that is not an iphone?
Does your cellular plan include MMS messaging? Do you have cellular data turned on?

New iphone can't receive or send text messages
I can't receive or send test messages. I tried turning airplane mode on and off. I also don't seem to have a data plan added to my service. I looked at my contract and it just shows family talk. I thought they automatically add this to iphone contracts.
It doesn't display an error message. It sends it out, but the recipient never receives it. I think the Best Buy person screwed up my service some how. She didn't sign me up for a data plan or a text message plan for this account. I was supposed to keep my same plan. It should still send texts though (at a higher non-text plan rate).

My iphone 4 wont receive or send text messages anything i can do?
my iphone 4 will not receive or send messages unless the other phone is right next to it anything i can do?
Try rebooting the phone by pressing and holding the on/off and home buttons simultaneously until the screen goes blank and you see the apple logo. It should take about 10-15 seconds to reboot.

Make sure you have checked off iCloud contacts in your Contacts app under Groups in upper left corner.

How do I set up the iPhone 5 so that I can receive iMessage (incoming messages) and send text messages (outgoing) every time? I have limited internet quota but unlimited sms!
Thanks!!
The reason I don't want to set it off is because I want to let others send me iMessage - most people prefer that according to their plan.
How do I bring this request to the hands of the people doing the ios updates? Maybe they could work on this for the future... -
I can make calls and send texts on my new iPhone 5, but all incoming calls and texts are received by my old (non-Apple) phone.
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

Please help me. I just got my iphone 4 last february and it was working just fine. But recently, i am having problems with its phone features such as text messaging and call. Most of he times i have a full network signal yet i cannot receive or make a call, receive or send text messages. I have also observed that everytime i am in a wifi zone where its signal strenght is high, this problem always exists. There seems to be no problem with its other features...please help me anyone.
Wi-Fi has nothing to do with making/receiving calls, or sending/receiving text messages... those features only work over the cellular network.
Have you contacted the carrier to rule out network issues or swap out the SIM card to eliminate that as a possibility?
What about Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings? -
My wife and I both have iPhone 5s, I can't send text messages to non iPhone people that I use to but iPhone people I can, My wife can send text to non iPhone numbers. I have checked and we both have the same settings. Both of our phones are up to date 7.0.4.
The ability to see and send calendar invites is a function of the calendar you are subscribing to and who owns it. We need more information, like what calendar are you subscribing to? MS Exchange? Google? Mobile Me?

Since upgrading iMac to osx lion I have been experiencing problems in mail, it spontaneously stops receiving and tells me it can't find the pop server and also the biggest problem is that when I send with an attachment the recipient doesn't receive it.
I have to restart mail most times before it starts recieving or recognizes the pop server.
As I said a lot of recipients do not recieve my mails when there is an attachment or when I reply to their email.Contact iTunes Customer Service and request assistance

My blackberry curve wont let me receive or send text messages
This very strange JulianPrice! When did this messaging issue start? Are you able to send /receive message to any contact? Is this issue with SMS only or MMS as well? What messaging application do you use? What is your current ZIP code? Do you have the latest available software for your phone? Please answer these questions and we'll explore options to resolve.
