Non iphone mobiles HELP!!

I am about to change my mobile and have had nothing but trouble trying to get my blackberry to talk to my mac, I am stuck with vodafone as the company pays the bill, can anyone suggest which phone would be more compatible, it only needs be fairly basic or if there is any software I can download to help matters.
Many thanks for any help anyone can offer.

Have you tried using something like the Missing Sync?

OK My mother at 92 has just mastered the iPad - I've set up an itunes account for her and want one simple thing explaining. She has a non iphone mobile and imessage on ipad so she can easily see it and use it HELP

Anyone who can expalin me how i can connect her non iphone (it lights up as she is very deaf like a chritmas tree so no i cant give he an iphone before anyone suggests) so i can get here to text via imessage on the ipad please.

I was hoping some tech wiz would have found an answer for you. The app below vibrates and flashes. Is that the kind of thing you're looking for? I'm not sure, because I am thinking you want your Mom's phone to somehow connect with ipad.
If you read the link I previously posted, please read the comments also. Maybe a suggestion in one of those would help.

$2.99Tap Tapby David Vondracek
One of the dangers of hearing loss is the inability to hear audible alerts or warnings. Tap Tap is a brilliant app that allows those with hearing loss to react to sounds. When it detects noise, the app will vibrate and flash to alert the user. If the door knocks, or someone is speaking or shouting, the user will know. If the smoke alarm goes off, Tap Tap will vibrate and flash. The sensitivity can be adjusted and the app can run in the background if desired, though this may use more battery power. This is a must-have app for anyone with significant hearing loss.

Iphone trying to send iMessages to non iphone users - HELP!

My friend just switched from Verizon to Sprint. He has NEVER had an iphone. He currently has some type of galaxy or android. As of last night all of my texts to him are being sent as iMessages (which he obviously doesn't receive). He's had the phone for two weeks and up until yesterday we were able to text via SMS with no issues. I still get his texts - he gets nothing from me and it only shows on my phone as going through as an iMessage. I've tried deleting his contact and adding it again. It still shows up blue in my contacts as if it's an iphone (which it obviously is not). I know I can turn off my iMessage on my phone but I like using it because the majority of my friends and family have iPhones. Is there any way to fix this??

I am having the same issue in the US.
I had a 3GS and switched to an Android based phone. My wife now has a 4s and all messages from her were going to my old iPhone instead of my new phone. My old phone does not have service, but still works well on wifi. My messages would send fine, and I could send and receive from non-iPhone users without issue. I then tried sending to an iPhone 4, and once again got an iMessage back on my old phone from that person.
Fix:
I pulled the SIM card from my new phone, had the iPhone users delete and re-enter contact info for me. The first time they send a message to me it goes out as an iMessage, but then re-sends about 5 minutes later as a regular text. Once the thread has started, it goes back and forth without issue. If they delete the thread off their iPhones, the process starts over again and the first one takes about 5 minutes to resend as a regular text.
I know iPhones with iOS 5 will always send as an iMessage first if that is enabled (and why wouldn't it, it's a great feature) but it needs to go to Apple's servers first, then resent as a non-iMessage.
I am not sure if others are experiencing delays in first run text messages to others and think the delay is teh network, when it may the iMessage function. I would like to see some feedback from others if they are seeing delays?

How do I get imessage to send SMS texts to non iphone users?

I have read that I can use imessage to send and receive regulr SMS text messages to non iphone users; but, I can't seem to make it work. When I try to enter a mobile number of a non iphone user in the new text address bar and send anSMS text the adressee turns red and I get the following message:
Your message could not be sent.
4342496xxx is not registered with iMessage.
Does anyone have a suggestion? I've checked my preferences and any articles I could find but so far I can't find anything that helps. Thanks.

Hi,
As I said the Menu Item has disappeared in Messages but you can still get it to send SMS Messages via an AIM Account to a "Buddy" that is the phone number with a leading + 1 for the country code (although it was never rolled out world wide).

The Menu items in the Buddies menu (This is from iChat 5) do not appear unless the computer ius set to be in the United States.
They don't appear at All in Messages (whether the computer is set or not.)

IPhone won't send texts to non iPhones

I can send texts to iPhones as either iMessages or SMS messages. However, I can't send texts to contacts who use other mobile devices (ie. Not an iPhone). However, I can receive SMS messages from non iPhones,
I've reset network settings and nothing has changed.
I only purchased my phone a week ago and have had this problem since new.
Any ideas anyone? Your help is much appreciated

Hi Rhys1998,
Happy New Year! If you are not able to send SMS messages to a non-Apple phone, try these troubleshooting steps:
If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Make sure that you're using the right phone number or email address.
Go to Settings > Messages > Blocked and make sure that they're not on your block list.
Restart your device and check for updates
Restart your device.
Check for a carrier settings update.
Check for an iOS software update.
Check the system status for iMessage
Go to the Apple Services System Status page and check iMessage.Turn iMessage off and back on

What's the difference between SMS/MMS and iMessage?
SMS/MMS lets you send text messages and photos to other cellular phones or devices. iMessage lets you send text messages and photos to another iOS device over Wi-Fi, without worrying about text-messaging charges (cellular data charges may apply).
What do I need to use SMS/MMS and iMessage?
Here's what you need to use SMS/MMS and iMessage:
SMS/MMS: A text-messaging plan. Contact your carrier for more information.
iMessage: An iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later.
Can’t get text messages from an iPhone - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/TS5185
You can't send SMS or text messages to a non-Apple phone (such as an Android, Windows, or BlackBerry phone), because the messages are sent as iMessage
This can happen if you used iMessage on your iPhone and then transferred your SIM card or phone number to a non-Apple phone. If you didn't turn off or deactivate iMessage before switching to a non-Apple phone, other iOS devices will still try to use iMessage to send text messages to your phone number. Follow the appropriate steps below to resolve the issue. Likewise, if you can't send someone a text who used to have an iPhone, having them follow these steps should resolve the issue.
If you still have your iPhone
Put the SIM card you transferred from your iPhone back into your iPhone.
Make sure that you're connected to a cellular data network (such as 3G or LTE).
Tap Settings > Messages and turn iMessage off.
If you don't have your iPhone or if you can't turn off iMessage
Use the deregister iMessage webpage. For more information, see Deregister iMessage: Frequently Asked Questions.These steps won't deregister your phone number with iMessage

Hi there,
Hope someone can help me out.
Since the upgrade, I can't send any mms to non iPhone contacts. I have contacted my provider and they asked me to configurate my phone and manually put in APN, mmsc, proxy etc... But I can't seem to find it on my phone or even when I'm connected to iTunes...
Am I missing something?

Did they other person previously have an iPhone and did not properly turn off iMessage in that phone before they switched to a non iPhone?

Unable to send or receive sms from non iPhone users

HT204065 Group text with one non iPhone not working on iPhone 6 in the group.

Group text with one non iPhone not working on one iPhone 6 in group. SMS, MMS and iMessage as well as group messaging are all turned on. Has worked intermittently but now cannot see or respond in that particular chain. Can send independently to the non iPhone (Samsung) but not in group. Other iPhone 6 and 5 in group work fine.

The reason why you have to turn off 3Gs is because T-Mobile does not support iPhones 1700 something or other. You have to turn off the 3Gs on the iPhone to make it work.
As already provided, it shouldn't matter since the iPhone is designed to automatically connect to the fastest internet connection available. If wi-fi access and 3G network access is on, when in range of an available wi-fi network you have access to and have connected your iPhone with previously, the iPhone will connect to the wi-fi network automatically. When leaving the range of the wi-fi network, the iPhone will connect to the 3G network if 3G network access is available. If 3G network access is not available, the iPhone will connect to EDGE or GPRS - whichever is available at the time.
If this is unique to T-Mobile's network with the iPhone for some reason since T-Mobile is not an official carrier for the iPhone in the U.S. and you were instructed by T-Mobile to do so, then you need to do so.
If this is not working now, the problem lies with T-Mobile and I have no idea what to tell them for them to recognize where the problem lies on their end.

Non Iphone users cannot recieve my text messages

Hi klutz14,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Congratulations on acquiring a new iPhone 5C!
The article below may be able to help you with this.

Ensure that iMessage is turned on in Settings > Messages.
To send and receive iMessages, your device must have a valid cellular or Wi-Fi data connection.

iMessage registration validates your Apple ID for use with iMessage. If you are unable to activate iMessage, follow this article.
If an iMessage cannot be sent, it will be resent using SMS or MMS, depending on the content. You can turn this behavior on or off in Settings > Messages > Send As SMS. Carrier messaging rates may apply.
Verify that the Apple ID or phone number is listed in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive.
