Cannot send txt messages from my iPhone to a android galaxy gear 3

My husband switched from an iPhone to a galaxy note three and kept his old cell number. Now he cannot receive texts from any other iPhones including mine.
Research on Internet indicates this is common issue when an iPhone user switches to an android device and keeps old number from iPhone! Problem does not happen with new android devices .any workable solution known? So far suggestions in forums have not helped. APPLE store personnel uninformed reissue,as well as Best Buy personnel.

Looks to me like the question has indeed been asked 500 times or more...but still looks to me like many still have unresolved solutions if they have more than one Apple device. I've been attempting to follow advice giving in forum conversations...still, no luck. I had turned off imessage on old IPHONE before, then unregistered my old iphone, but still can not get txt messages from any of my friends who have an iphone...not one. I do have several other Apple devices..an IMAC, an MAC BOOK PRO, an IPAD 2 and an IPAD3 still on my same Apple Account that my old phone was on. Is this now the problem

You can send iMessages to other iOS devices, like iPad, iPhone, etc. Furthermore, the other iDevices users must have set up their iMessage.

Regarding text messaging, if I send a message from my iPhone, the reply goes to my ipad, or mini ipad. How can I fix this?

Regarding text messaging, if I send a message from my iPhone, the reply goes to my ipad, or mini ipad. How can I stop this from happening?

Go to Settings/ Messaging/ Send & Receive on each device to set the contact points to be reached at, and to set the "from" address when you start a new message. It sounds like your iPhone might be sending messages out as one thing (e.g. an iCloud address) but set to not receive replies only to your phone number. Make sure you review settings on each device since you may, or may not, want to have them common.

Why do text messages from my iPad appear to some people as if they came from my email address instead of my phone number? This does not happen when I send text messages from my iPhone.

You need to link your iPhone number to Messages - and Facetime if you use it. For Messages go to Settings>Messages>Send and Receive at>You can be reached by iMessage at. If your phone number is showing there, select it as your Contact address. If it doesn't appear in there, take a look at the end of this article for help.

When I send a message from my iphone 5 to an iphone 3 my number shows up as a different number on their phone?

When I send a message from my iphone 5 to an iphone 3 my number display on their phone as a different number?

Hello Nodycart,
That is an interesting issue that your contact is showing up as a different number on another iPhone. If it is using iMessage, I would check to see that you are starting a new conversation with the right number by going to Settings > Messages and look at the Start New Conversation. That also would be a good idea to delete the current conversation thread and start a new one to test it out further.

Go to settings on your device. Settings, messages, send and receive. You might have her email in this area selected unmark and / or delete. You must do the same on her device. Good luck

TS2755 Cannot receive text messages from other iPhone users.

My iPhone cannot receive messages from other iPhone users after updating to ios7. I do not have internet access on my iPhone. Sender tell me the message has failed.

If they are trying to send you iMessages, & you don't have any Internet access, the message will fail, as iMessage requires a data connection.

When I send a message from my iPhone to other iPhone users why do they receive it from my email not number

TS2755 Frequently when I send text messages from my iPhone, the response comes to my IPad and not my phone. Why?

Very often, when I send a text from my IPhone, the response comes to my IPad. Why does this happen???

This is an iMessage, not a text message as in SMS/MMS via your cell phone carrier's network.
This means you have iMessage enabled on each device with the same Apple ID. This is by design and intention when using the same Apple ID on multiple Apple computers and iOS devices. I have iMessage enabled on my Mac, on my iPhone, and on my iPad with the same Apple ID and all my iMessages are kept synced between all three.

How come I cannot recieve text messages from other iphone users without using imessage?

I do not have a data plan, so when I am not connected to wi-fi I cannot recieve text messages from other people using an Iphone. I can recieve them once I turnn on imessage and am connected to wi-fi though. Why is this and what can I do to fix it??

Check Settings>General>Cellular to be sure you have Cellular Data set to On.

I receive but cannot send txt message

I am having difficulty to send txt message to people outside the network.
I receive but cannot send it.

Hey there Alessa,
Text messaging is my main form of communication so I understand how important it is to make sure you can consistently send and receive them. Let's keep those messages flowing.
When you say outside the network, do you mean people on other carriers? Are these users all on the same carrier? Do you know what kind of devices they have? Can you send to Verizon customers ok? What zip code are you having these issues in?
Please provide additional details so I can better assist.

This does not solve the problem. I could do those before, text messages from IPad, can to some contacts and now having updated to IOS it has a problem. Not the only one with this problem. Your solution is?
Who are these people that you could send messages form your iPad to before?
Do they have iPhones or iPads?
Have they setup Messages on their devices?

I cannot send an email from my iphone

I have entered all of the information for my in-coming and outgoing server into my iphone 4s. However, I cannot send an email and the message reads as follows "The sender address XX.net was rejected by the server.

Did you check your user name and password in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your email account, tap SMTP, then tap the primary server name. Make sure the settings there are correct.
