Can I send and receive texts from my iphone 4?

I updated my Touchpad to webOS 3.0.4 and was able to sync my Touchpad and iphone 4 via bluetooth. I was able to set up the telephone calling part of the tether. What I am trying now to do is making the touchpad compatible with the phone for texting. I have read that it can now be done but nowhere can I find HOW to do it. Is it possible? If so, what do I need to do?
Thanks,
Joe

The answer is no, but not because of anything to do with the webOS. This feature uses a brand-new Bluetooth profile called MAP (Messaging Access Profile) and many devices have not implemented support for it yet. I took a quick look on the Apple support pages and found this article that lists the supported Bluetooth profiles. As you can see, MAP is not listed which means syncing SMS messages will not work on your iPhone.

I can't send or receive text from non-Iphone

This just started happening last week.

That's definitely strange, bigbadscharfy. We're here to help get all texts coming and going. Let's start w/ the basics! Have you checked under Settings>Messages> Is Send as SMS checked on? This can help send out messages as regular texts and not iMessages. Do you receive any error messages when the texts dont go out or receive?

New Iphone can't send or receive texts from non-Iphone contacts

Okay Verizon, you finally convinced me to get a smartphone so I can text, etc. Now I find that only other Iphone users can get my text messages. This is very annoying. My family members are Verizon and other carriers, Iphone and Droid users but I find that only some can receive or send me messages. What is up with this?

That is because you are not sending texts, but iMessages. iMessage is an Apple proprietary messaging system which DOES NOT utilize SMS, but instead chooses to send messages counted against your data allowance. iMessage is ALSO only available to Apple phones.
Go into your settings > messages > make sure that the box is checked to send as SMS if iMessage is not available is checked. This way, when your iPhone cannot send an iMessage to a contact, it will send an SMS.
Personally, I think you should completely disable iMessage and only send SMS messages. With Verizon, most plans now include unlimited texting and an allowance for data. If you use iMessage, these messages will count against your data allowance where these same messages sent as SMS would not since you most likely have unlimited texting on your account.
Good luck.

Help!!! My text application on Blackberry Torch 9800 disappeared!!! I can't send and receive texts :-(

Hi everyone,
I need your help!!!
The application to send and receive text does not appear on my phone Blackberry 9800 anymore... So, I can't send and receive texts...
I tried lots of things but the problem is still existing.
I have one error message everytime I turn on and reset the phone: "Uncaught exception: Index 14 >= 14" !!!
Any idea of what to do???
Thanks
Rachel

Hi and Welcome to the Community!!
There's pretty much no diagnosing those -- they are the equivalent of the random errors in Windows for which tracing the root cause is fruitless. Basically, these are the last out in the programming code -- some event occurred for which there is no handler in the code. The fix is a code update that handles the event...but, again, knowing what the event is is pretty much impossible. So, there are a few things to try:
Sometimes, the code simply becomes corrupt and needs to be refreshed -- just like a reboot:
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
If it won't boot up cleanly, then you may need to try Safe Mode:
KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in safe mode
There might be an updated code set from the carrier -- check them via this portal:
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
The toughest possible cause is a badly behaving app. To find it, there are a couple of options. One is to see if you can read the log file:
Go to the home screen. Hold down the "alt" key and type 'lglg'. (You will not see anything while you type).This will bring up the log file. Scroll down (probably many pages) untill you see a line that says 'uncaught execption'. Click on this line. The name of the app will be in the info. Alternative methods for bringing up the logs are in this KB:
KB05349How to enable, access, and extract the event logs on a BlackBerry smartphone
The other method is to remove apps one at a time, waiting a while in between (I usually recommend a week), until the problem ceases...thereby discovering the offending app. Still another method is to reload the BB OS cleanly, leaving some time between adding other apps onto the BB so as to be able to determine exactly which one is the cause.
Good luck and let us know!

HT1355 Can you send and receive text messages in airplane mode?

Can you send and receive text messages while in airplane mode?

No. Regular SMS's require a cellular connection. However, iMessage will work in Airplane Mode, as all that requires is an Internet connection. You can turn WiFi back on while in Airplane Mode.

Is it free to send and receive texts from another EE customer who is abroad?

is it free to send and receive texts from another EE customer who is abroad?

Hi
Welcome to the EE Community! Provided you're texting an 07 number, it won't cost you anything extra to text someone abraod (provided that's included in your package). It will cost the person abroad to reply (but not receive texts), unless again they have some sort of add on in the country they're present in. Cheers,

Can't send and receive text messages

Hello,
For around 2-3 weeks I can't send and receive text messages. When I try to text somebody, the message appears as "Not delivered". On the ! there are only 2 options: Try again and Cancel. If I choose to "Try again", the results is the same: the message is not delivered.
When somebody is trying to text me, the message appears as delivered on their phone, but does not reach mine.
Please advice
Regards
Irina

Tablet added, own phone number - can you send and receive text msgs ?

I got the G Pad 8.3" let tablet and it was added as an extra line, so it was given a phone number. Was wondering, since it does have it's own phone number, is it possible to send and receive texts on it using the phone number provided ? I tried just sending a text to that number, but the tablet never received it. Since it does have it's own phone number tho, is there anyway to do this ?

donintn,
That is a very interesting question! While it does have its own phone number, texting & voice calls can not be enabled for tablet devices. You can, however, use apps like Verizon Messages to send texts back & forth using the phone number for any one of your regular phone lines. There are also 3rd party apps that will give you the ability to text using thier data enabled texts. View your app options in your Google Play store.

Unable to send or receive text from another iphone after updating ver 7.02

Before updating ver 7.02 I was able to send and receive text to any cell phone. After updating to ver 7.02 can no longer send nor receive any text from any iphone 4 or iphone 5. Can send and receive to/from an old iphone 3 and to any non-iphone but not iphone 4 or 5. Tried updating iTunes then restore phone from backup, no change. Deleted apps that were no longer being used and transferred all my pictures on phone to a folder on computer then deleted then out of iTunes. Tried restoring again, once again no change.
Not having any idea what else to try, went to AT&T store for help. Pretty much got a shrug of the shoulders with the response of yep, a lot of texting problems after 7.02 update. No help at all.
Anybody else have or had this issue? If yes, what did you find causing the problem?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the response. I tried so many things forgot to list that I did try turning off iMessage, reset network and turned network back on- no change. Also forgot to mention it's my wife's phone, I'm more old school. If I need to talk to somebody, I just call since I already have a phone in my hand. That's my solution to the problem but she doesn't think so. LOL. Also tried hard restarting several times, didn't make any difference. I am still fiddling around with it, if I come up with anything I will post it.
Thanks again for the help.

Can I send and recieve texts from a skype #?

I am thinking about signing up for a skype # but only if i people can reply back to my texts from skype. Currently, when i send someone a text from skype (without a skype #), i dont believe i can receive a reply anywhere. Does having a skype number resolve this?

Hi, enyc, and welcome to the Community,
No. A Skype Number only provides a way for people who do not use Skype to reach you on Skype. That's it.
You would receive reply SMS messages on your mobile phone.

Elaine

HT3529 How can i send and receive text messages with pictures?

The camera button on the text screen won't let me send pictures. And I also can't recieve pictures.

HT201229 Can't send or receive texts from just one contact.

I have not blocked my friend from sending text messages, nor has he blocked me. Why can't we text each other?

Since SMS is a carrier feature, not a phone feature, have either of you contacted your respective carriers to insure no problems on the carrier end?
