Are text messages charged in Canada?
This is a dumb question but I'm in canada and want to know if I will be charged for text messages. Phone is in airplane mode so hopefully no roaming charges.
Texting in Canada has no extra cost, it is just like you are texting in the US. not the same with voice or data, those are international roaming. Canada is the on,y foreign country with free texting. However you must have airplane mode off. I I recommend turning cellular data off and use wifi only unless you have the $25 for 100mB plan. Even then watch data very carefully.

I have the iPhone 4. and when I updated the software to iOS6 My notifications don't make a sound anymore, the only sound that I get are text messages, or Email. I checked to see if the other apps were muted and they weren't. How do I fix this
You cannot update iPhone 4 to IOS 8.1.2, the highest you can update is IOS 7.1.2.
Unless you've iPhone 4S (looks similar to iPhone 4) -
I have 2 phones on my iTunes account, why are text messages showing on the second phone when sent from the first phone?
it's meant to work like that
so if you receive a message on your iphone you also get it on your ipad or ipod touch
to avoid it use separate appleID for each device
or turn off imessage on 1 or both devices in their settings
but that will not fix the issue that 2 devices using the same appleID will never be able to facetime eachother
the appleID is a unique handle for 1 user only -
There are text messages that I'm having trouble deleting. With some of my text messages, I can swipe to the left and delete ... or press and hold, get more and delete to trash can icon. But there are some where neither will work. Can't delete. Help!
But once again, I do not want to lose my other texts, app progress, and photos. I could sync the photos but i would still lose the app progress and texts. I would only restore if it was the only option left, but the other space, as already stated, isnt the main concern. The main concern is those 'deleted' texts. If they go, then a good size chunk of the other space goes. I know you CAN delete texts for good. It worked fine before. All i want to know is why its not working for me now, and how to fix it.
I also know that when you delete texts on your iphone, they get marked for deletion, however they stay on your device (thats why they show up when you search for them.) then when you sync your device with itunes, the texts marked for deletion should disappear. When i synced they didnt disappear. Thats what i need an explanation/solution for. Why the texts marked for deletion didnt get fully deleted after the sync. -
Are text messages included in auto backups to computer?
Hi,
I have a fresh iPhone 4 backup on my laptop. Does it include text messages? And if so, will a sync to a new iPhone 5 add the text messages to the new phone?
My problem is that my screen has died, and I did not have iCloud activated. And I can't activated it now because the screen is locked and I can't enter the password since the screen is dead.
Cheers / ArcibaldoI'm just an Apple user. I have no special allegiance to Apple or any cellular carrier.
Having said that, I definitely suggest you get your replacement iPhone from Apple! (This assumes you are using a cellular carrier that is closely aligned with the iPhone, such as AT&T or Verizon in the U.S.).
If you explain the situation to Apple, they will get you the replacement phone with the same phone number. You could even order such a phone online, if you wish.
The reason Apple is a better choice than your carrier is that Apple will sell you a guaranteed brand new iPhone in factory sealed box. I have seen and heard about too many instances where the same is not true from the cellular carrier. -
Trying to figure out what these text messages are.
Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app. I am certain other applications also need this information. Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information. Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.
When a solution is found please mark the post that solves your issue.

Why are text messages being received as gmail addresses?
In the last week, I began receiving text messages from my friends that are being sent from their "gmail" address. Therefore, it seems to replace the other contact that I had in the phone. Has anyone else experienced this? Thank you
This has worked for many to solve this problem:
Open the phone and dial *228. This is a Verizon over-the-air programming number.
When the system answer press 1 for "Program or activate your phone"
Wait for the call to disconnect. You should get a prompt stating "Settings updated."
Double tap the Home button to bring up the recently used apps list at the bottom. Locate the Phone, Message, and Contacts apps, swiping if necessary, and press and hold until they jiggle then press the red minus sign to stop them.
Wait a 3-5 minutes.
Open the Message App to see if they're fixed. -
Is there something I have done to my phone since I cannot get text messages unless I am in a wifi area?
Contact your carrier and make sure that you have SMS enabled on your account.

HT4865 Can my text messages that I send and are sent to me be retrieved
Are texts messages saved anywhere in Iphone 5c or on the icloud?
The only way you can do that is if you use a texting service (Gmail SMS maybe) that would allow you to do so, but as far as veiwing your VZW text messages online, no you can't.

Why can't I send text messages on my iPad? I can send and receive messages on my iPhone.
Hi Kathy,
Happy Holidays! Do you have an iPad with cellular service and a text-messaging plan?
Send messages with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201287
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.
How do I know if my message used SMS/MMS or iMessage?
You can tell which type of message you're sending by the color of the Send button and text bubble.
SMS/MMS: Send button and text bubbles are green.
iMessage: Send button and text bubbles are blue.
How can I link my iPhone number with Messages on my iPad, iPod touch, or Messages for Mac?
When you sign in to Messages with your Apple ID on your iPhone, you link your phone number to your Apple ID. If you then sign in to Messages with the same Apple ID on your iPad, iPod touch, or Mac, Messages will link that device to your phone number as well.
I hope this information helps ....

<Duplicate post and will be locked. Please see any replies at How can I block text msgs?.>
NOTE: THIS MESSAGE IS INTENDED AS INFORMATION SHARING
Here is what I've recently learned (the hard way) about "Premium Messaging"/”Premium Text Messaging” charges of $9.99 that show up in the "Usage Charges" section of your monthly bill under Data (taken from an email from a Verizon Wireless Customer Service Rep):
"...Premium Text Messages are services offered by third party content providers. They can offer many different things such as: weather or news alerts, sports score alerts, horoscopes, jokes, and even traffic reports. They can also provide entertainment services such as: games, trivia, chat services, free ring tones, or as a part of social media for services provided through Facebook or other sites. You may also be familiar with television or radio programs that have you vote for your favorite artist by sending a text message to a short five or six digit code. Sending a text to those codes is how you get signed up for these services.
In order to remove it, you simply send a text message from that specific phone to that short code. (34135) In the body of the text, simply write the word Stop. Finally go ahead and send the message. Within a few minutes, you should receive a text back from that company stating that you have cancelled out of their subscription service.
...I recommend sending this text as soon as possible to avoid future charges. Judging by the date you supplied, they appear to charge on the 6th of every month."
What this boils down to is that Verizon is complicit in allowing 3rd parties to occur extra charges via their monthly billing, despite the fact that you may have not realized the text was an "opt out" type. If you read the texts that come in English, the method of opting out is specified, which in my case was replying to the text with just the word STOP – I was thereby opted out, BUT FOR JUST THAT SPECIFIC 3RD PARTY. You should then (IMMEDIATELY) call Verizon customer service at 1-800-922-0204 and request that “Premium Messaging” be blocked.
I believe you can also do this yourself at:

You can also read about this subject at:
http://support.verizonwireless.com/faqs/Premium_TXT_and_MMS/faq_premium_txt_and_mms.html - pay special attention to item #4.
For those who say “you should have read your contract more clearly in the 1st place”: my father had died not long before I signed up with Verizon, and I was still in a fog, not really capable of absorbing a lot of information. I don’t remember reading the first such msg I got; I might have even deleted it before reading it completely because at 1st glance you can tell it's a solicitation. What that very brief, 1st glance doesn't scream out at you is the fact that this is something you must reply to opt out of.

Message was edited by: Verizon ModeratorI called customer service from my phone to get this taken care of, and everything went great.
If anyone else has the same problems, just know that I got this resolved immediately. I put the block on premium messaging last night, and this morning I saw a Verizon Support tweet about this same issue that recommended forwarding the spam message to 7726. I did that and followed some instructions that were replied back to me. Then I went ahead and called customer service, told them the problem, and they issued a credit right away. I just checked and it went into effect immediately.
Like I said, if anyone else has this problem, these steps resolved it perfectly for me. Good job, Verizon. -
Stored text messages on SIMM card
OK, here's a question. Are text messages stored on the phones SIMM card even after they are deleted on the screen? And, if so, how can they either be retrieved or permanently deleted?
Hmmmmm. I guess that's really two questions but does anyone know the answers? (Oops...THREE questions!!)Suzy,
You are correct in that the Sim Card in the various smartphones from Verizon only store telephone numbers for dialing overseas. The Sim cards that come with the various Blackberry devices such as the Bold or Tour are not even needed unless you were going to use the device connecting to GSM carriers overseas. So, you are correct. No information is stored on the Sim card, unless the user copies a telephone number to the card.

Is there any additional charges texting a person in Canada if I have unlimited texting?
Hey everyone,
I have a phone plan with unlimited texting, and I feel if I contact Verizon they're just gonna give me a super confusing answer. I was wondering if it cost any extra money to text a person's phone in Canada if I live in the United States (Wisconsin) and I have unlimited texting. Some results on this site say no, other's say yes.
I just want a clear, clean cut answer of "Yes, it will cost extra to text a Canadian person if you live in the US and have unlimited texting." or "No, it won't cost extra to text a Canadian person if you live in the US and have unlimited texting."
Thanks!
Hunterpugsarecool,
Help has arrived! What exact plan do you currently have? Is it a Nationwide or More Everything share plan?
In most cases, text messages sent from the United States to Canada are covered at no additional charge as long as you have the unlimited text message plan.
