Can't send an SMS on Skype 5.0

If you have a Skype name AND a cell number associated with a contact, the new version of Skype only lets you send an IM to the Skype account - it doesn't let me pick SMS to the cell number any more.
You do realise that you are losing revenue now you have screwed that feature up?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Sending SMS to s stored phone number / mobile number for a Skype contact is currently not supported in Skype 5.0 for iPhone. There's a workaround though: Save the phone number from the dialpad as a separate contact and you can continue to send SMS from Skype. Hope that helps

    how can i send multiple sms from my i phone 4

    Turn Group Messaging (instructions in lin that follows) off and send the message to multiple recipients. The result may be dependent on your carrier. If manually keying in numbers rather than using contacts, use the return key after each number. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5760

  • I am currently abroad in France, and I can not send any SMS messages.

    I am currently abroad in France, and I can not send any SMS messages. iMessages works fine. I have checked the setting, and message sending to SMS is activated. I have also reset my phone. Could you advise on why I can not do this please?

    Hi 
    It could be a case that the network you are connected to is having problems.
    If you go to Settings > Carrier > Turn off Automatic > This will prompt the device to do a manual search. Once completed chose a different network and test.
    Also is it a particular number it's failing to or have you tried a few?
    Let me know how you get on.
    Thanks.

    SMS is a cellular carrier function.  Contact your cellular carrier and make sure you are correctly set up with an SMS plan.

  • After upgrading to the new iOS7, I can't send out sms, I can receive sms, can make and receive call. I have already contacted my network provider, we changed sim card, I have tried to put my sim on other phone, and it's perfectly working. Help me pls

    To be honest not being able to send or recieve messages and data is a carrier issue, not a phone issue since u said that your calls are working, if i were you my first course of action would be to get a new sim card from virgin mobile, or to restore the device as new one more time, if you restore the device as new AND get a new sim card from your carrier and those features still dont work, i would take the device to an apple store

  • Iphone 5 can not send out sms

    my iphone 5 can not send out sms since i changed to this iphone 5 on 8th oct , i have reset the phone many times,
    i have restored also.
    i put the sim to another i phone 5, it worked perfectly, when i put other sim card into this problem iphone 5,sms can not
    send also.
    therfore it is concluded it is the iphone problem rather the sim/provider problem.
    how do i get apple to replace a new iphone 5.
    for information, a few of my friends are having the same problems.
    please advise on next course of action.

    What you have to do is a clean restore inside of iTunes. A backup is required just so your iPhone isn't erased.

  • Can't send instant messages from skype on laptop

    Hi! I am having problems sending and receiving instant messages on skype on my Mac laptop. I can receive/send messages from only one specific conversation. All of my other conversations won't let me receive new messages and when I type and send, the text just sits there and a little blue circle spins next to do. I tried logging out and logging back in... nothing changed. So I unistalled skype and then redownloaded it... nothing changed.  I do have the skype app on my iphone, and all of the conversations are working fine there. That is how I know that I am not receiving or being able to send messages on my computer. I really need this issue resolved for my job, though. Any help or suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!  

    This is broken for most of my group chats as well. Can't receive from some, but can from others, and can't send to some but can to others. Very strange. Haven't identified what differentiates groups that work and groups that don't. Tried one of the posted solutions where the Skype Application Support folder is nuked along with any of the associated plist preferences and re-installed the App. Didn't help.
