Are my group messages being sent as MMS instead of SMS?

Hi there! I just have a quick question about text messaging on my iPhone. I read here (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5760) that "some carries automatically convert group messages into MMS" and that "group messaging is sent either as an SMS or MMS"
See, I am a new postpaid subscriber. And my plan only includes unlimited text messaging (SMS) and data use. I usually send out group messages to 50+ of my colleagues when I need to remind them about something or ask a question. Are these messages being sent as an MMS, or as regular text messages? I fear I may be getting charged hefty sums for texting.
Thanks!

Why don't you check with your carrier. They would be in a position to better answer that question than a group of users from all over the world.

I tried lookinng under my measaging settings and for my icloud it had my email selected and it would not let me select my phone number.

Hey Bgrossman,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like you are signed into your Apple ID (email address) in your iMessage settings:

To sign out of your Apple ID
1. Go to Settings > FaceTime, tap your Apple ID, and select Sign Out.
2. Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive, tap your Apple ID, and select Sign Out.

Message being sent and wait for event - BPM help.

Why are my messages being sent through email rather than iMessage?

Why are my messages being sent as email rather than iMessage?

Not being sent as email - shown as being sent from an email address because you have selected to start new iMessage conversations from your Apple ID email address on your iPhone.
When registering an iPhone with iMessage, the phone number along with your Apple ID email address is registered with it.
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Start New Conversations From - select your iPhone's phone number.

Message being Sent in Outbound Staus ccBPM

hello everybody,
i'm working with PI 7.1.
I designed a ccBPM that send data from DB to sap by RFC and update status in DB.
Everything worked good but last week we made a change harware and migrated all interfaces.
We have a problem with this interface because in cannot see update in DB (so the last step of ccBPM).
I don't find any error in xml monitorning, adapter monitor, SMQ1 , SMQ2, sm58. Everything work fine.
The one one strange thing that i can notify is that:
in xml monitor we have a row where the OUTBOUND STATUS is not with succes flag but have the status MESSAGE BEING SENT (the clock logo).
any suggestion?
thanks in advance
Alex

Hello,
You could check in trx SWF_XI_CUSTOMIZING if there are green ticks for the background jobs.

Bpm:message being sent and wait for event

Hi,gurus:
My scenario is about BPM.In the integration process I used a loop and correlation.The scenario worked successfully yesterday,but after I changed some thing,it did not work.The outbound status of the message in sxi_monitor said "message being sent".And when I clicked PE to see the workflow log, it said " wait for event".
Thanks in advance.

Could you tell me how to reimport the integration progress in ID?
reimport means...delete the already imported BPM from ID.....this would affect the corresponding ID objects....save and activate....and then again run the import Integration Process wizard....create the objects once again.....seems time consuming.....hence mentioned it as the last option in the list:(
Also from SWWL delete only the instance with status as ERROR.

CcBPM: Message outbound status, Message being sent

Hi
I have a message with status flag message being sent at the outbound status PE since 30 days. Because of this message many messages got blocked with scheduled on outbound side status.

Please suggest solution

Subba Rao

Hi velidi subba rao,
Please go to SMQ2 and right click on the entry and Select Save to LUW. It saves it to SMQ3. You will be able to reprocess it from there.
Give it a try and let me know if it worked. Also just release the queues once you have saved the message that is stuck.

Jannus Botha

Message being sent

Messages of one integration process in sxmb_moni, outbound status is "Message being sent".
Messages of other process is OK.
Thanks.

my design is like this:
IDoc -> TXTIntegration process--->FTP
Integration process is like this:
loop{receiver>container operation(append)}>transformation---send.
I have worked out this integration process:
IDoc>Integration process{append>transformation>IDoc list}>FTP.

Why are my group text messages being sent as pictures

My group text messages are being sent as pictures or images and I don't know why. It just started happening, I've sent them before without to the same people without this happening. I can sent text messages to each person individualy and they are delivered as text. Is there some setting I can change?

HI. I had the same thing the other day. I sent a link to 40 people and got charged for 40 picture messages. I phoned my network provider and they said it is an apple fault (iphone).
If you send a group 'Text' to more than 6 people, the iphone somehow marks it as a MMS or picture message. I get free texts and was shocked to be charged, but they did look into my messages and could see it was not an image and refunded me.
If they are right, its an apple problem. Can anyone shed sme light on this?

Texts are still sending to imessage, but i do not have an iphone anymore. How do I find these lost messages being sent?

I am not recieving texts from some people because they are being sent as imessages, but I no longer have an iPhone. Where can I find these lost messages?

Group messaging issue with messages being sent to email rather than mobile

Hi,
I have an iPhone 4s running iOS 6.0.1. I tried to send out a large group message today by opening up messages and clicking on the + button (top right corner) and selecting a number of recipients one by one in the list.
What I noticed was that when selecting some contacts, I was prompted for a delivery address while other contacts were automatically selected and I couldn't change the delivery path. Unfortunately the phone was automatically sending the messages to the recipients email rather than their mobile phone (I checked my mobile usage records). I couldn't select the recipient in the list and change the delivery method either... I also noticed that the message would change from an sms to mms message automatically because the iphone was automatically choosing an email address to send to. This is really annoying!!! Does anyone know a work around?
I tried disabling mms messaging in settings-messaging but I would get an error saying:
Cannot Send Message: MMS Messaging needs to be enabled to send to an email address
This is incredibly frustrating. Why doesn't the iphone allow you to select the delivery address for each contact rather than automatically selecting an email address? I thought the iphone would be smart enough to select their mobile number since it is a mobile messaging device...
Any ideas?

Is there a solution to this issue?

Why are my replies to emails being sent as attachments instead of continuous threads?

When I reply to or forward an email it is being sent as an attachment instead of a thread. I want people to be able to read all the replies without having to open an attachment. I don't have this problem when I use I.E. 9 or 10. Can't find any settings to change this in Firefox or Juno Web-mail. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I just downloaded Firefox 31 today and would like to try it for a while. Would older versions of Firefox not have this problem?

I understand that Firefox is a Web browser, but it does effect the way some processes are handled...e.g. when you download new software or plugins Firefox doesn't allow you to open them, it saves them and then you open and run it. ('''unless there is a setting I don't know about''') I.E. lets you run them without having to save them first. Again, as I mentioned about my original problem above, why does I.E. not attach replies and forward messages to an email, and Firefox does???.....making it harder to read all the replies at once. In other words, you need 2 windows open, one to read the attachment (group of replies), and one to read the latest reply. Maybe it is something with Juno and Firefox....I don't know. That's why I looking for a solution from the support forum.

Why are my incoming texts being sent to a friends email?

I was given an iPhone 3gs about 6+ months ago by a friend, switched it over to my provider and have had no problems up until about a week ago. All of a sudden, all of my incoming texts started being sent to the friend's email address who gave me the phone, and I'm only receiving part of them. I've checked with both her service provider and mine and there is nothing that can be done by either. I know for a fact that the phone is no longer linked to the email address in any way that I can see, as the phone has been completely wiped clean and set up for me. Is there anyone who has had this type of issue or know how to fix it???

Incoming text messages as in SMS/MMS, or iMessages?
This must be for iMessages and if so, your friend needs to deactivate or unregister the iPhone for iMessage with his/her Apple ID.
