Can't send International Texts

Hi, I can't send an international text from the UK from my Iphone 3gs. I put my sim in another phone (an old Motorola) and I could send the text, so the number is right etc. I've also done a reset on my Iphone but it still says 'not delivered'. Has anyone got any ideas on how to fix this please.
Thanks in advance

If you are entering the full international number (with the +) then make sure that in Settings>Phone Dial Assist is turned OFF

Can't send international text to China but can receive, pls help!

All the messages I've sent were not received. but I can receive messages. very strange, please help!

When you are sending messages from the Messages app, it defaults to an iMessage as apposed to SMS. To send an SMS, you have to manually select the cell phone number to send a message out as SMS. To do that, click on the persons name in the To: box and select their cell phone number.

Since installing iOS 5 I am unable to send international texts to contacts.

After intsalling iOS 5 (aswell as 5.0.1 a few days ago) I am unable to send international text messages, both sms and imessages, to anyone in my contact list. I can though send them if I manually insert their number.
This does in fact automatically substitute the inserted number with the entry I have in my contact list, yet will only send the message this way.
If I simply select someone from my contact list, it will give me a "message send failure" error.
I have attempted this through an Iphone 4 with a +44 vodafone sim to Italian (+39) numbers.

Also, I have attempted this with both the International Assist on and off. The sim seems to work normally on other phones.

Is it possible to send international texts from iChat?

I was wondering if one could send international texts using iChat. Or even Messages. Google has a texting service for offline chats. However this is not supported by the IM client. Does anybody know how to use this service using iChat?

You can chat with anyone connected to the internet.
iChat can use Google Chat, you just specify that the account uses Jabber Protocol.
I currently have iChat connected to AOL Instant Messenger, Google Chat, and my company's Jabber based chat system. All accounts working concurrently via iChat on Lion.
As long as you and the person(s) you are chatting with are using the same chat service (Apple's iCloud, AOL's Instant Messenger, Google's chat (Jabber based), or any other Jabber based service), it does not matter what country they are located in.
And you can use a service such as Skype to do phone calls (of course you can do audio and video via iChat and Google's chat as well)

Cannot send international text msg

i download a software 8.3 now cannot send message to international.

I never had problems sending international text since my first 3g iPhone and neither with the 4. The only problem is that international txts are too expensive, I recommend you to use Skype or other app that can send texts.

IPhone 4 cannot send international text messages

I have an iPhone 4. Since day one that I bought the phone, I have not been successful to send international text messages. The procedure for sending an international text message is simple: enter 011, followed by the country code, and then the phone number. It has never worked. Each time, I get the following error message -- "Message Send Failure". Any ideas for fixing this problem?
What surprises me most is that I have an HTC Trophy with the same Mobile Service provider. No problem exists with the HTC Trophy for sending international text messages.

Can I send a text to a "group" contact without selecting each individual member?

Can I send a text to a "group" contact without selecting each individual member? I have a group formed in my contacts, but I still have to select each member in that group to send a text or email from my phone.

There are apps that allow you to address sms messages to groups (such as Speed Names: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/speed-names-contacts-groups/id285124918?mt=8), but not iMessages. Perhaps this will change with a future iOS update.
The only point of having them at the moment is to allow you to limit the view to only contacts belonging to a group, so that you can more easily add the individual members of the group. But at the present time, you still have to add them individually.

Thank you for reaching out to us, labrylao4. Regarding the issues with messaging, is this affecting only SMS, iMessages, or both? When you or her try to send each other messages, do you receive any error messages while it is sending? If it is for iMessages, have you tried to send while connected to WiFi?

Can't send photo text from iphone 4s to non iPhone

I have a 4s iPhone but can't send photo text message to husband who doesn't have iPhone. Can send to people with iphone though. Need some help...

I've been having problems with texting pictures since I updated to iOS 7 too but have yet to find a solution that actually works. I have also tried to reset my phone numerours times, have MMS turned on, etc. It doesn't matter if I'm trying to send the picture to another Apple user or not.
It usually takes about 3 or 4 tries to get the picture to go through, but in many cases I have to turn my phone off then back on for it to work.
PS - I am in Canada & my service provider is Bell. However I don't believe it is a Bell issue as I didn't have any problems until AFTER the update. Had hoped the latest update this week would've fixed it but if anything it seems worse.

Can I send a text from my ipad to a droid?

Can I send a text from my ipad to a droid?

IF YOU ONLY HAVE WIFI: you can download a texting app (which gives you your own #) and then YES, you can text anyone's cell phone or device as long as they have a phone # as well.
IF YOU HAVE 3G (INTERNET EVERYWHERE) OR A TEXTING PLAN: YES you can, if you have 3G, then follow the instructions for wifi
if you have 3g, then you should be able to enter the messaging application on your iPad and send a message to anyone with a valid phone #!
I hope I was able to help you converse with whoever you are trying to converse with...
