Can I recieve sms messages on ipad?

hello,
I wanted to know if it's possible to recieve an sms message (and not an imessage) on both my iphone 4s AND my ipad 2. Both of those devices are running ios 8 but I do know that handoff (continuity) is incompatible with both of those devices.
So is it possible to do this even without continuity and if yes, how?
Thanks in advance

Yes. Apple Support article HT6337 lists all of the devices that are compatible with Continuity.

Unable recieve sms messages

I've got a 6230 which has always worked fine until last week it stopped recieving sms messages.
I havn't changed any settings on it - the only thing i can think of thats different is that i swapped batteries with a friends phone, but the new battery i have in it is still the standard BL-5C that comes with the model and the phone was recieving messages for at least a day after i changed the battery so i don't know if this is the cause of the problem..
Any ideas??

Hi there
The same thing happened to me on my brand new N95. I went through all possible tests with my carrier and they determined there was nothing wrong on their end. Was so weird as, like you, I could do everything except receive sms. I ended up taking the 10 day old phone back into the shop and they put the sim card in another handset and it didn't receive sms in that handset either, and the shops sim card did receive sms in my handset.
So I was given a new sim card and problem was fixed. 2 days worth of received sms lost in the ether though No explanation as to why this happened. The sim card was also only 10 days old.
So I would suggest trying your sim card in another handset and seeing if u still have the same probs.
good luck!

Can I recover SMS messages from iCloud that I accidentally deleted today?

Can I recover SMS messages from iCloud that I accidentally deleted off my phone today?

Sorry but the only thing you can do with a backup to iCloud is restore the entire backup to an iOS device. It is an all or nothing thing. There isn't a way to get to them using a computer or to access just the backed up text messages. If you also backed up to iTunes, there are 3rd party utilities that will extract data from a backup made using iTunes.

How can I have sms message delivery for IPhone

Check to see if there is a 3rd party app that provides it. Also, check with your carrier. If you are in the US, this is not an important thing, and most of the carriers do not provide delivery for SMS. If your from outside the US, see if the carrier supports it and what needs to be done to get it.

I can't send SMS text from iPad 4 w/ cellular, no option to add or turn off/on

I can no longer send SMS text with IPad 4 w/ cellular. There is no option in settings-messages to turn on SMS like on iphone5. Everything is trying to be sent iMessage which fails when sending text to non apple users. This change occurred after last iOS update.

I can confirm this for the Ipad Mini with iOS6.1
Although the cellular hardware is available - the iPad doesn't handle SMS Text messages.
For those trying to use prepaid 3G internet data simcards, not being able to send or receive text messages pretty much cripples most 3G prepaid internet simcard packages available around the world.

Hi, cymoneW.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you are unable to send or receive picture messages via the cellular data network. I would check to make sure that MMS is enable in settings. This setting is located in Settings > Messages and MMS Messaging. If the issue persists, try the troubleshooting steps in the article below.

How Can I Combine SMS Messages from Previous Backups?

I have a Blackberry 8900, and I recently switched from the Storm. I made incremental weekly backups, however didn't notice my text messages were being deleted every 30 days and I need to restore/recreate them all on my phone for searching. How can I do this? I have used Dashwire in the past however it does not support Blackberry. If I used the advanced feature in Desktop Manager, it replaces existing SMS messages. Is it possible to "Save" messages without overwriting them, or can I use Windows to access the file like an Excel file? Thanks in advance!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Unfortunately using the Backup and Restore feature will just overwrite the databases on the BlackBerry with the information in the backup file. It does not append to the data already on there.
There is software called ABC Amber BlackBerry Converter that can convert them from the backup file into a format that you can manipulate on your computer

How can one ungroup SMS messages on a Z10?

I have in the past one week upgraded from a BlackBerry Torch 9800 to a BlackBerry Z10. On the Torch, there was an option to either group or ungroup SMS messages from the same sender, however, on the Z10, SMS messages are grouped by default and I am trying to find a way to ungroup them. Can somebody please help?

Hi, webreality212, and welcome to the Community,
Unfortunately, Skype Numbers cannot receive incoming SMS messages; these would be routed to your mobile phone number instead. Here is are links to the FAQ articles with the rest of the details:
https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA676/can-i-send-sms-text-messages-to-any-number
https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA3591/sending-sms-text-messages-windows-desktop (this article includes links to customized instructions for other platforms and operating systems)
Copied and pasted from the above article ...
The person you sent the SMS text message to won’t be able to reply you on Skype. However, you can change your settings to receive the SMS text message replies on your mobile. To do so, select Tools > Options… > IM & SMS > SMS Settings and enter and verify your mobile number.
Regards,
Elaine

Can't receive SMS messages in inbox

self explanatory title, i can send but not receive sms messages unless i use the application crunchSMS. I receive stuff like bbm and the messages box in used in conjunction. I've been using crunchSMS for 2 months now and i've received messages in the message box and the app.
Have i pressed a wrong button or something

Hi millz90,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The functionality of viewing All Inboxes has not changed from iOS 6 to iOS 7.
Take a look at the screenshot from the iOS 7 User guide below.
In this example, the user is looking at an inbox from one specific email account.
Notice the blue Mailboxes link in the top left corner of the screen.
When you tap on Mailboxes on your device, the new screen should have the title Mailboxes at the top and All Inboxes should be the first item on the list.
If you scroll down to the bottom of the screen, you will see your Accounts listed, and you can choose to open a specific email account to look at its Inbox or Sent mailbox.

Curve 8300 - Can't send SMS messages - Email set up?

Hi, my dad has an old Blackberry curve 8300 that was a work phone, it is unlocked and can make and receive calls, and receive sms messages, however I cannot get it to send sms messages.
Is this because he never set up an email address with the Blackberry?
It won't let me enter a personal email address, Is this because it was his work phone and is there any way to change this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi dave12384
Welcome to BlackBerry Support Forums
As it was Work Phone it might have some IT policy enabled on it as a result you may not be able to use those feature .
SMS is Emails service are both different , One comes under Voice level and another under Data Level Services .In order to enjoy Email services on legacy BlackBerry devices we need BlackBerry Data Plan . When we activate those Data Plan our Carrier push those Service Books to our Device and it will allow us to add any email account on our Blackberry Smartphones. But as your Device is a Work Phone so it may not allow you to add any BIS plan unless those IT policies are removed from that particular devices .You can refer to this Knowledge base to remove an IT policy but first do a backup of your device :
KB31291 : How to reset a BlackBerry smartphone to factory settings using BlackBerry Desktop Software
KB18998 : How to reset the BlackBerry smartphone to factory defaults
But mind it sometime it is very difficult to remove an IT policy from such devices in which those Policies are deeply coded , but you should try to see if that help.

Can't send sms messages with jabber, how to fix that?

I've never really used ichat before and apparently sms messages can't be sent using jabber. Is there anything i can use or change on my ichat so that i'm able to send sms messages ?

Hi,
As you have somewhat found out it can only be AIM Buddies (Or rather US Phones via the AIM service).
The Computer has to be set to "be In" the United States (See th Language and Text pane in Lion or International in earlier OS versions.
The Phone then has to be on a Carrier that also takes the AIM SMS forwarding service.
