Blocked text msg on carrier would imessage still work between iphones

So I am wanting to get an iphone 5. My family plan on Verizon does not have Texting actually it is blocked. Would imessage still work between iphone on wifi and 4g?

They're not phones, thus they don't activate either iMessage or FaceTime for your phone number, only the Apple ID. That's why. IF you don't use your phone number, you should be able to activate using just your Apple ID, but as it is a phone, I suspect it will get stuck trying to activate using the phone number. You could try activating with the sim removed...in essence activate as an iPod touch.

  • IMessage not working between iPhone 4 and iPhone 5?

    Hi,
    Three friends of mine have recently upgraded to the iPhone 5. I'm still on iPhone 4.
    Since the switch over, iMessage has stopped working  between my phone, the iPhone 4 and their's, the iPhone 5.
    iMessage still works to my other friends on their iPhone 4's....
    Can someone explain/help fix this please? We all live & work in bad reception areas in the countryside so having iMessage work to send messages over wifi is super important!
    Thanks so much,
    Jen

  • Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?  Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

    Apple is great!
    Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?  Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).
    I compose an iMessage with the destination as my email address and I attach 2 photos I want on my PC.  I send them several times from my iPhone 5C but they never arrive. I look at my ipad later and realize that it's iMessage app is getting ( and swallowing) these emails. I then turn the ipad off.  Still can't get the photos through because iphone is now getting them on it's iMessage.  I turn off the iMessage feature and try to send photos from text msging.  Phone tells me it can't send photos unless iMessage it turned on.  What happened to regular MMS text messaging?  I go and try to send photos as an email attachment and see that there is no option to attach from the stupid email program.  I look up online to learn about the brave new world of apple attachments and send them.

    The email program on my iphone is not configured to remove messages from the server.
    If iMessage is turned off I don't have the issue.
    Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

    Did not work. I've selected iMessage to ON and left it. After a few hours I recieved a message "activation unsuccessful. Turn on iMessage to try again". This has been going on for the past 3 days.

  • TS2755 is there a way to block texts from specific numbers to imessage with out turning imessage off?

    is there any way to block text from specific numbers to imessage without turning imessage off?

    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You can be reached by iMessage at:
    Select the right facing arrow in a blue circle next to the email address this girl is sending iMessage to and select Remove This Email.
    If she has your cell phone number, she can switch to sending iMessage to that and there will be nothing you can do, but removing the email address will prevent you from receiving an iMessage addressed to that email address.

  • If i dropped my ipod in water would it still work???

    if i dropped my ipod in water would it still work ????????

    There are a couple of solutions to that. Most involve silica gel. Silica can be found in little packets at shoe stores and such, it absorbs water and moisture. If you set your iTouch in a bowl of it, and let it sit for 3 days, you may get it back to working.

  • Why can't i pick up any wifi networks? wifi capabilities still work on iphones, even without a SIM card-yes or no?

    why can't i pick up any wifi networks? wifi capabilities still work on iphones, even without a SIM card-yes or no?

    No one here can know why for certain, and yes.
    If no change after resetting network settings on your iPhone and after restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup, the iPhone has a hardware problem with the wireless card or something else.

  • Texts(iMessages) not syncing between iPhone and iPad. How can it be fixed?

    After installing IOS .7.2 update for version 7.0
    My texts no longer sync.
    Happens to sent  and received.
    I have texts on iPad thatt didn't arrive on my iPhone and vise versa.
    Internet all good on both.
    My texts usually come in at the same time to iPhone and iPad,  or a few seconds apart, if that
    They aren't updating. I get some, but not all. I'm carrying on two different convos on my phone or iPad with the same person, not realizing I've missed some of their texts.
    Besides the rests and restarts if which I've done to both, any suggestions on how I can fix this?
    Thanks

  • Will my iphone 5 still work if I unregister it with Apple and will iMessage still work without it being registered?

    Can anyone out there help me. If I unregister my iphone 5 will it still work and will it still be able to receive and send iMessages? Will this mess up iTunes?

    If you turn off iMessage, then you can't send or receive iMessages... in case that wasn't apparent.
    The problem is the android users who did not turn off iMessage on their iPhones before they switched to something else.  They need to fix that. If they don't, then your only option is to turn off iMessage or forcibly send the messages as SMS messages.

  • IMessage not working between my iPhone and friend

    I composed an iMessage to a friend. We've texted before so I know iMessage should be working as all previous texts have been in iMessage "blue". Today, in this latest message, I was waiting for the screen to turn blue as I was composing but it never changed. I have an iPhone with IOS5 and my friend has the same. The text was sent in "green" as a text. It never changed to "blue". I had my friend check her settings and her iMessage menu was "on". So I'm wondering why this situation has changed for us. Cost me $.20 with ATT b/c I dropped my 200 msg plan!

    This is absolutely NOT true.
    iMessage works over a data connection. Either WiFi or cellular data. If there is a problem delivering the message for some reason, if one or both of you are out of contact with both WiFi and the cellular data network (if you're in a dead zone for example) or in the case of another problem on the Internet that prevents the message from being delivered, it will automatically fall back and send it as SMS.
    Cancelling the messaging plan was probably not a wise move. Unless you have SMS blocked entirely on your account, which I believe you can do with AT&T smart limits for $4.95 a month, there is no way to completely prevent iMessage from sending (or receiving) an SMS message.  Your only option now is the $20 monthly messaging plan.

  • Imessage not working with iphone 4

    my imessage stopped working with my iphone 4.  it was working but then i had to restore it because it got deleted by mistake.  i've since restored it twice and it's still not working

    Apps and contacts can by synced back to the device through iTunes. The backup handles different content. This support document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946 tells you what is in the backup. If that doesn't matter to you, you can restore as a new device and see if that helps. There could be something in the backup that is creating the problem.

  • Imessage not working on iphone 4

    for some reason today, imessage stopped working on my iphone. I contacted sprint and did as they said but it still doesnt work. When i try to sign in with my apple ID it says "iMessage Activation the user name or password for "******" was incorrect. Try again."
    I know for a fact that im not putting the incorrect information because I signed into other things with the exact same things but for some reason iMessage and facetime are'nt working. If you need any info just ask i really need this fixed. Thanks!
