Activating imessage cost 31 sents? Cost is from an international text message used to activate Imessage, is this normal?

It is costing me 31 cents everytime I switch Imessage on. Charge comes  from an international text message used to activate Imessage, is this normal?

If you are using a supported iPhone carrier, they usually do not charge for this. It is an international text to the UK server to activate iMessage and FaceTime. You need to take this up with your carrier. If you are not using a supported carrier, you will just have to deal with it if you want to use iMessage and FaceTime.

  • When I check usage in my iPad 2, Mail shows it is using 2G.  Removing all emails (sent, trash, etc) it is still using 1.9G.  Is this normal?

    When you do an upgrade, sometimes the pad goes back to the isp server for the unread count.  These are likely old e mails that you never opened, and are so far down the list that they dont make it to your oad.  In any event - go to the mail server via safari or on a computer and use webmail.  You can find those emails there and delete them -

  • Will it cost me additional if someone texts me using his computer?

    There's this site he tells me about that he can use to text my phone. Will it cost me additional if someone texts me using his computer?  Or is it included in my unlimited texting plan? Because my other friend texts me using his itouch and it's free. But I want to make sure that texting me thru computer is free before letting him send me a message.
    Thanks!
    I'm on the 700 minutes family share plan btw and the txt messaging is unlimited.
    Oh, and I almost forgot. I also want to ask about the "Get yahoo! messenger on your mobile phone", it says I will receive the IMs as SMS message so does that mean I won't be charged for data usage and instead it will be counted as a normal txt msg rate?

    Any text messagge sent to you, via computer, another phone, or text alerts from your bank, for  example, are included in your unlimited texting plan (I have the same unlimited text plan--there is no extra charge.)
    You can also use the Mobile IM on your phone (it may already be installed), set it up with your Yahoo ID (or AOL, or MSN - all three messenger services work) and then your friends on Yahoo IM will see  you as logged in and your IM's will all be counted as text messages.  My daughter has friends in the UK and Canada that she communicates with using her Mobile IM.
    It's all text.  Have fun!

  • Anyone know the cost of getting a detailed text message printout?

    Anyone know the cost of getting a detailed text message printout?  Thanks!

    Thanks to the community for your replies.
    Hello pederson3,
    Thanks for posting. That’s a good question. We don’t have an additional charge for you to be able to obtain text message details. If you simply want to view certain information such as date, time and number, as Grothka mentioned, you can login to My Verizon and view the last 3 months of messaging details.
    If you would like to retrieve the content of the text messages, as budone stated, we do require a search warrant. Keep in mind text messages are only kept approximately 3-5 days but never more than 10 days due to system limitations. I’m sure you’ll find this information helpful. Have a great day.

  • I have international carrier charges for sms use when activating imessage would this be correct?

    I have been charged for sending international SMS by my service provider when activating iMessage would this be correct?

    Well definitly give live chat a try.
    If after that and having already phoned them, you can still not get anywhere, maybe contact the mods using this form:
    If you fill in this form: http://bt.custhelp.com/app/contact_email/c/4951 with a link back to your post for ref, the mods will get back to you. it can take up to 3 days.
    But to be fair to the mods, give Live Chat a try first.

    my daughter made a voice recording on her phone and sent it to me through a text message. Can I make that a ringtone for my Iphone?

    I did an internet search (Google) and found the following. It is from May (before the latest iOS update) so the look of some of the steps may vary slightly from the current iOS 7. http://osxdaily.com/2013/03/04/turn-any-voice-recording-into-a-ringtone-for-ipho ne/

    I restored my I phone 4 using Itunes, after that I can't access the icon any more I only got a message that says " ( Sim not Valid.) Only compatible SIM cards from supported carrier may be used to activate iphone. I need some proffesional help. Thanks

    "We're Sorry, Activation Server Temporarily Unavailable, contact Customer Care, Sim not vaild?"
    99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
    So, either get a sim card from the carrier your phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, if you want to activate it. Because it appears that it was not officially unlocked.

  • My iPhone does not always send iMessages to other iPhones who have their iMessages on. Most times I text a new contact with an iPhone first, they show up as regular text messages. How can I fix this?

    My iPhone does not always send iMessages to other iPhones who have their iMessages on. Most times I text a new contact with an iPhone first, they show up as regular text messages. How can I fix this?

    Yes to receive an iMessage the recipient would need an iOS device (iPhone, iPod, iPad) and an internet connection. This is a messaging serviceprovided by Apple so the recipient does not need to check emails. If the contact does not have internet access at the time the iMessage is sent then a normal SMS through your carrier can be sent instead if you have "Send as SMS" turned on in Settings>Messages.

  • My daughter and I share our Verizon account and when she activated her phone, we started receiving all of each other's text messages. How do I stop this from happening?! It is creepy and we don't like it at all.

    My daughter and I share the same Verizon account. When she activated her I Phone (which I also have an I Phone 5c) - we started receiving all of each other's text messages. I need your help as soon as possible to stop this. WE DO NOT WANT TO READ EACH OTHER'S TEXTS! Please HELP!

    If that is the problem, how do I change it so she has her own Apple account if she already activated her device? Is there  a way to remove my account and make her a new one on the device itself if it was activated incorrectly:??

  • How can i switch from a regular text message to iMessage for a contact

    I had this contact we used iMessage but since 2 days ago it went back to regular text message, how I can put back to iMessage?

    The contact and you will use iMessage - if it's available.  One of you may not be on WiFi or using a cellular carrier that supports iMessage.  Presumably neither of you turned off Settings > Messages > iMessage.

  • "Message Not Sent" Error When sending picture via text message

    I have a Droid 2 and I am unable to send a text with a picture.  I use the phone in the field and need to send images of land with a text message but so far am unable to do so.  I have checked my options settings in My Verizon and do not see anything that may be preventing from doing this function.  It is not a signal strength problem.  Also this is not an intermittent problem.  It just will not send a text with a picture 100% of the time.  Not having a problem with regular texting.  Can anyone help.  Thanks

    Thank you community!
    Hello dash9,
    The community gave great options.  I know the picture messaging is important to your job.  If the community suggestion did not assist I would like to help.  Are you able to send pictures when you are not in the field?  When you are unable to send a picture are you able to access the internet?  Have you successfully sent a mms in this area before?  Please advise me of this information so I may further assist.  Thank you.
