CANNOT SEND SMS VIA SKYPE ON IPHONE

Hi.  Please can someone advise me.  I have skype credit, but cannot send sms' to a number which is not in my contacts list via my iphone.  I can do this via my imac desktop computer, but why not via my phone? 2nd problem...it seems that you cannot reply to a skype text - is this so? 

Partially. Apple support recommended that I enable "push" for this account. This fixed the problemvery nicely, but it was a HUGE hog on the device battery! I've since then disabled the "push" option for my account and Yahoo! mail seems to be still OK, although it does seem to take a little longer than expected to send even small emails.

  • CANNOT send SMS messages with ADDRESS BOOK on POWERBOOK using iPHONE

    I cannot send SMS messages with my address book or dial phone numbers using my Powerbook via the iPHONE.
    Previously, with my Sony Ericson phone, I could do both. It's very useful, when you are at your laptop, to use your computer keyboard to send SMS text messages back and forth rather than using the clumsy small keys on a phone.
    Can someone help?
    Is there something I am missing?

    You are not missing something here and no one here can help you. This is not an included Bluetooth profile with the iPhone at the present time anyway.
    If you purchased your iPhone within the last 14 days, you can return it for credit less a 10% restocking fee and if not, here is Apple's feedback link for the iPhone.

  • Cannot send SMS with iPhone 5

    Hi I have purchased a iPhone 5 from Hong Kong and I am using it in china. All works well except that I cannot send SMS (still can receive them)... I have contacted the apple support but I have no solution till now. I also asked China Unicom for help but they cannot find the problem... More over the activation of message and FaceTime doesn't : I can use iMessage and FaceTime but on settings the activation doesn't work. Did anyone have similar problem and was anyone able to find the good solution ?

    Hello, I also have the same problem. My iPhone 5 is a from Hong Kong too! My iMessage doesn't work as well as FaceTime also. It keeps saying waiting for activation. I use china unicom too, tried contacting them but they couldn't solve the issue. But it many cases when I change my SIM card or insert mine to another phone , it suddenly activates. This is really frustrating because I can't check my credit balance at all or send urgent messages to people.
    Anyone with a good suggestion?

  • How do I get videos that I recorded off of my iPhone so I can upload them to Facebook? I cannot send them via email nor MMS because it says they're too big.

    How do I get videos that I recorded off of my iPhone so I can upload them to Facebook? I cannot send them via email nor MMS because it says they're too big.

    iTunes is not used to move photos and videos from an iPhone to a computer (it is used to move them the other direction).
    Also note that a connected phone or camera does not show in the Finder on a Mac. It should show in Image Capture or iPhoto.
    The following has instructions on how to move them: iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    Another option is 3rd party software such as http://www.photosync-app.com

  • HT201407 My iPhone from SPRINT cannot send SMS and 3G when Outside US

    Subject: My iPhone from SPRINT cannot send SMS and 3G when Outside US
    I buy a Sprint iPhone in the U.S. price No-Contract (Full Price -> 649 + taxes)
    I asked the seller that uses outside of the United States ? The seller confirmed using ok
    I am unable to use the message SMS and 3G at VIET NAM with carrier VN MOBIFONE
    I am is not activated is FaceTime anh IMessage with phone number +84906646492
    Use the normal Voice, 3G, iMessage, Facetime when using APPLE ID
    Model : MD667LL/A
    Serial Number : F17JF5VCF8GM
    IMEI / MEID : 99000226901335

    Well yes, you probably will have problems with your phone because a 'contract free' phone is NOT the same as a fully unlocked iPhone.
    This is a user forum, so nobody here can really help you.  As Sprint is your carrier in the US, then you need to contact them first.  They are the only ones who can help you.

  • Sprint iphone cannot send SMS

    this is big problem. i have a sim card with Operator 3 in Hong kong but cannot send SMS. Friend of mine using Smart vodafone sim card and he can send SMS.... How come this will happen ?????

    Hi everyone.
    I had the same issue. I am using a international unlocked Sprint phone on Etisalat in Dubai. I saw this post https://discussions.apple.com/message/20602020#20602020  from FernandezJay and tried it. He fixed my sms in the time it took to restore and restart the phone. Also now my FaceTime and Imessage both work through my Apple ID and my Dubai Phone Number.
    Seriously guys. IT WORKS!

    Hi, Santosh..., and welcome to the Community,
    I would recommend testing the SMS reply forwarding to your mobile number.  Depending upon the results and if this works for you, you could then contact Skype Customer Service to cancel and request a refund.
    In other words, SMS will be received via your mobile number, not via your Skype Number.
    Regards,

  • Which Mobile Networks Operator could be used to send SMS through SKYPE in China?

    Which Mobile Networks Operator could be used to send SMS through SKYPE in China?

    I actually found a workable solution, based off of your suggestion.
    Sprint has partnered with Google to integrate native Google Voice onto the iPhone, using your existing Sprint phone number, for free. The only downside is, you loose visual voicemail. But, you can set Google Voice to transcribe my voicemails and send them via email, which I hear can be quite funny when it gets it wrong.
    But, not being a fan of Google's "all or nothing" approach, where they take over all your sms, voicemail, and calls, I opted to set up a free account and use Google Hangouts app to make outgoing calls. Using it this way, with out applying for a Google Voice number, or switching  my Sprint number over to Google, the caller ID just says "No Caller ID", which is ideal, since having an additional phone number pop up, might lead to confusion as to which one to use to contact me.
    So, thanks for pointing me  in  the right direction.  It's not perfect, as I imagine many friends will kick me over to voicemail when the see "no caller ID" pop up on  their phones, but it'll get the job done.
    Problem solved.

  • Cannot send photos via bluetooth to Kodak printer machine

    Cannot send photos via bluetooth to Kodak printer machine.
    My iphone cannot find the machine and I was told that htis is an apple problem

    Cannot send photos via bluetooth to Kodak printer machine.
    Correct. iPhone doesn't support Bluetooth File Transfer protocol.
    Many photo machines let you plug in a camera via USB, so do that instead. The iPhone will appear as a standard digital camera.

    This started in December and all of a sudden, I cannot get my brothers replies to m text message even though he is getting mine. The only way for me to get his messages is if I have on my wifi..
    Which implies you are using iMessage and not SMS as SMS does not work over Wi-Fi.
    Are you having issues getting iMessages from anyone else?

    Genius, you are NOT addressing Apple here and throwing a tanturm is unlikely to get you any real help.
    If you'd like to grow up and provide some specifics of the issue we would be happy to help.
