Can't send SMS from iPhone 4, iOS 5.0.1

Hello! I have an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.0.1 simfree. I can recieve sms but I can't send one. It seems like there are issues with imessage, 'cause it says "waiting for activation" and doesn't offer me use my phone number to send sms via, but only my e-mail. I suppose it's a bug of ios version, right? If not, then what can I do? How can I make sms sending fuction working? All the options like "send sms", "send mms" are on. I have tried to reboot the iOS and restore it - doesn't help.

I suppose it's a bug of ios version, right?
Wrong.
If not, then what can I do?
To start, you could post some useful info such as your carrier and location. Do you have SMS/MMS enabled on your plan with your carrier? Did you contact them to check?

I can't send SMS from iPhone 5 sprint

Not sure what's going on here. Can't send SMS. iMessage works. SMS doesn't work when I try to text non iPhone users. Anyone else having this issue?

You do NOT have an "unlocked" phone. You have a Sprint phone. It can not be completely unlocked.
If you think there is something wrong, then either talk to your carrier about the problem or bring it back to the U.S. and have it serviced.

That's more likely to be a carrier issue than an iPhone issue. You should each contact your respective carriers.

Can't send sms from ipad mini

can't send sms from ipad mini

Correct; your iPad mini is not a cellular telephone.
You can send and receive iMessages to/from other Apple devices, but you cannot send or receive text messages.
From the Manual:
Using the Messages app and the built-in iMessage service, you can send unlimited text messages over Wi-Fi or cellular data connections to other iOS and OS X Mountain Lion users. Messages
can include photos, videos, and other info. You can see when other people are typing, and notify them when you’ve read their messages. iMessages are displayed on all of your iOS devices logged in to the same account, so you can start a conversation on one of your devices, and continue it on another device. iMessages are encrypted for security.

I can't send emails from iPhone until I connect to my wifi! I am with bigpond and have a bigpond email address. Can anyone help me?

I can't send emails from iPhone until I connect to my wifi at home. I am with bigpond and have a bigpond email address. Can anyone help me?

Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

IPhone 5, I can't send sms to iPhones

Hello,
I'm on iPhone 5 IOS 8.1.
I can't send sms to another iPhone (undistributed message). IMessage is working and I can also send sms to other phones.
On settings/messages, sms are activated when imessage turns off.
I need help, how can I fix it ?
KR,
lrllt.

Hey there lrllt,
Since SMS works to phones other than this one, we should be able to resolve that on the phone. First check to see that your phone number is set to start new conversations, rather than your iCloud email address.
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages - Apple Support
If your iMessages didn't transmit as SMS when iMessage was unavailable for use
Go to Settings > Messages > Send as SMS and turn on Send as SMS.
Select your phone number when Sending iMessages in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Start New Conversations From.
Make sure that you can send SMS with Settings > iMessage turned off.
If that is not the issue, then use these steps from the same article:
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and recreate the contact from the Contacts app. Send a new message to the contact.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Sterling
