Bluetooth phone and text messaging

Is there a way to text message on my MacBook and then send it to my phone? Sure would make things a lot easier

if you mean can you text via your mobile phone with your macbook then yep you can, as long as your phone supports bluetooth.
sync your mobile phone and mac with isync, to get all your contacts from your mobile phone, and then open address book. it should display all your contacts form your phone. click on the little bluetooth icon in the toolbar in address book and it should try to pair your mobile phone and macbook.
once you've done that, you can ctrl-click on the phone number of a contact and select SMS message, and it will let you send a message to that contact.
if you leave address book open and paired with your mobile phone it will also display recieved messages and calls on the macbook, and let you reply to recieved messages.
Address book is also a really cool way to organise your mobile phone contacts, to add addresses and other numbers - its loads easier than doing it on your mobile.
isync also syncs calender information from ical - which is handy if you continue to forget to pay credit card bills like myself...

    I have an old iphone 3g with ATT and have ordered the 4s with verizon.  Is there a way to save phone messages and text to new phone?

    Don't believe so - I don't believe it is possible to transfer the backup for a GSM iPhone to a CDMA iPhone and vice versa.

  • Ringtones regarding phone and text messaging

    I downloaded a ring tone for an incoming text message from iTunes store. and it shows up as a ring tone for the phone. How do I get it to show up in text messages?

    "Hard to believe that"
    No less true.
    "why would they make text message tones if you can't use them?"
    Who is they?
    There are only ringtones for the phone. There are no custom message tones.

  • When will the bluetooth support audio alerts for email and text messages?

    When will the bluetooth support audio alerts for email and text messages? It works when I get a phone call, but I'd like it to work when getting a text message (I do this a lot in noisier areas and would rather not have to look at the phone every few minutes)
    Or is there a configuration option I'm missing?

But then i can't send or recieve texts. i reboot phone and deleted message reappear, but i am able to continue send/recieving texts.. i've synced, backup, everything. Help! I am doing this beacuse in my space on my phone my doucments and data are taking up 9GB of space, and i don't know why other than in my phone it says messages are taking up 8GB or so. I am running ios 7.0. I have synced my phone with itunes, backed up, reboots after deleting the texts, they never vanish, i have even restored from itunes and restored from a backup that didn't include the texts after i deleted them.

  • How can I recover all my phone numbers and text messages from before?

    I was trying to update the software, and ended up reseting to its original factory settings. Lost all my contacts and text messages, Is there any way that I can recover all that info and go back to my previous settins?

    if you are using your iPhone as recommended, contacts are synched to a supported contact manager like Outlook, or with a cloud service like MobileMe or Google. You can just resynch those contacts.
    Text messages are backed up every time you synch, so you can try and restore from your most recent backup.  However, any new texts sent/received since the last backup are lost.

    how do i print or save my imessages and text messages from my iphone?

    When viewing the SMS messages, hit edit. You then have the opportunity to select whatever messages are needed. Forward these to your email or wherever you wish. You then have a text transcript in the body of an email that you can cut/copy/paste into Pages/Word/etc. for printing.

    Why does my 3G iPhone no longer rings nor vibrates when receiving calls and text messages?
    During a two weeks process, little by little I notice my phoe doesn't ring when I get a phone call.  So Far I have missed 22 calls that I am aware of.  Moreover, the phone does not alert me when I get a text message.  Sometimes I receive notice the next day that I received a call or a text message. 

    Follow the basic troubleshooting steps outlined in the user guide... reset, restore from backup, restore as new.

  • IPhone fails receiving calls and text messages

    Hi everyone, here is my problem.
    I have an iPhone 4 32GB. It was on iOs 5.1 (always worked perfectly) untill few days ago I have upgraded to iOs 7.1.
    The problem after the upgrade is that phone calls or sms messages fails to be received. Strange thing is I can receive at times calls from cellphones, but I don't receive calls from land line numbers. And text messages arrive all at once after hours.
    I have restored the phone in DFU mode twice, set up as new phone , tried a hard reset, network reset... nothing worked. It still fails to receive phone calls and sms messages.
    Before you ask, the "don't disturb" is disabled.
    I live in Italy and have a contract with TIM, i spoke with their cistomer service and according to them there's nothing more i can do on my end.
    Any idea?
    Thanks

  • Having horrible service with 4GLTE I have had 3G for several weeks (I am not the only person I know having this problem), I have reset my network settings and it did not resolve the issue.  I am also unable to send SMS and text messages without them eithe

    Having horrible service with 4GLTE I have had 3G for several weeks (I am not the only person I know having this problem), I have reset my network settings and it did not resolve the issue.  I am also unable to send SMS and text messages without them either failing or not sending at all.  Is there an outage in the Cleveland, Ohio area (zip codes 44129, 44134, 44137) or anything else I can do to resolve this issue?

    Not that I'm a Verizon employee, but I have experience in the field. An LTE tower will only extend up to, on a perfect day, with no elevation, 6-7 miles. On a typical day, you will be lucky at four (4) miles. The three ZIP codes you've given are all within about a 12 mile radius. That would mean that 2-3 towers are currently down at the same time, and Verizon would know about it within the hour. Being it's Cleveland, I'm sure they would receive numerous calls regarding an outage of that size.
    My point is that if you're having issues in all three ZIP codes, chances are it's a phone issue. If you're handset is simply not receiving LTE, but still receiving 3G, that would signify a SIM card issue. You need to get your SIM card replaced.

  • How can I disable e-mail and text messages when I'm close to or over my data quota ?

    How can I disable e-mail and text messages when I'm close to or over my data quota ?
    Is this possible? I don't see any options?
    All I see is this:
      Receive confirmations of many account transactions via Email and/or free Text Alerts delivered right to your cell phone. You can receive these confirmations for  
       transactions done online, over the phone or from your handset. Account management Text Alerts do not count against any Messaging allowances.
          Your bill is ready for review.
         Payment Confirmations: Your payment has been  received    Your credit/adjustment     has been applied.1
         Account Activity Confirmations     Plan changes     Feature changes1

    What phone?
    You would need to disable data on the phone itself.  You wouldn't do it online on your account.
    Note also that text messages do not count toward your data allowance.

    I suggested contacting Compub in Nassau St as the info is priceless and worth the trouble of trying to regain?
    Any thoughts? The poor lady is very distress

    If she has backed up her iPhone she can replace that iPhone and set up the new iPhone from her backup.
    You can put the iPhone that went into water into a plastic baggie with either new silica gel packets (preferred) or raw rice and let it sit for  4 - 5 days. After that time remove the phone and connect it to power for at least a half hour. While it is still connected to power reset it by holding down the power and hold button, wait for the Apple logo then let go of the buttons. Might take several tries. If it revives immediately back it up.
