Cannot text from iphone4 to/from android phone

Cannot text between iphone4 and android

What Meg is trying to say is that the procedure is the same to send a message to any phone. If you send a message to an iPhone using the Messages app, the iPhone automatically sends it as an iMessage. If you send a message to a Samsung phone, the messaging app will send it as an SMS, which works on any phone. If that's not working, go to Settings > Messages and make sure "Send as SMS" is turned on. If it still doesn't work, contact your carrier.

  • I can't get texts from android phones on my new 5c

    We just switched from Sprint to Verizon.  My daughter can send texts to android phones but can't receive them.

        Hi Mswan66,
    Welcome to the Verizon Wireless family! We are so elated to have you join in. It's important to have your text messages working properly. Did she port in her number? If so, is the old phone powered off? Have you tried powering the phone off the back on? Which iPhone does she have?
    Thanks,

  • Cant receive text from android phones. Is there a fix for this?

    Is there a simple fix for this? Has this bug been addressed yet.

    You have to go to Settings > Messages and turn on receipt of MMS as well as SMS so you can receive both iMessages and regular text messages.

  • Recover texts from one phone to another

    My fiancé accidently deleted all texts from her phone (iphone4) trying to free up space. She would like some back.
    I have all of them on my iphone 5.
    is there a way to put those texts on to her phone ?

    Hello TerryDayTripper,
    It sounds like your fiancé is needing to restore or otherwise get some texts back onto her device that you have on yours which were accidentally deleted. One option is for her to restore from a backup that has these messages on them, and then delete what she wants to get rid of, and keep what she wants to keep:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

    The other option is for you to forward her the messages from your iPhone:
    How do I forward a message?
    You can forward a message by choosing More… after tapping and holding a message bubble in your current Messages conversation. Selected messages that will be forwarded show a checkmark to the left. Tap the forward button, in the bottom right corner, and enter the desired contact.

  • I just got an iphone 6 plus and I cant receive texts from android or nokia users??

    SMS is a carrier feature. Start by contacting your carrier and making sure your account is properly configured. Even if it was before, sometimes changing phones causes glitches.

  • Why am I seeing outgoing and incoming text from another phone number that is on my plan?

    Why am I seeing outgoing and incoming text from another phone number that is on my plan?

    That is why. If you take the time to go into Settings>Messages>Send and Receive. Then uncheck everything but the phone number for each particular device, you should be alright after that.

  • I have a '09 MacBook Pro w/ OS X Mavericks and an iPhone 4 and I'd like to copy a thread of text, not notes, but text from my phone to my computer. How do I do that?

    I have an '09 MacBook Pro w/ OS X Mavericks and an iPhone 4. I'd like to copy a thread of text, not notes, but text from my phone to my computer. How do I do that?

    First of all, you should always save you photos on computer like any other digital camera.
    Backup on iCloud or iTunes only backup your Camera Roll. The other photos should be already on the computer.
    Note: Photos are not saved in iTunes, it's only a conduit between your iPhone and your photo managing software on computer.
    What computer do you have?

  • Can someone hack my iphone and send texts from my phone number?

    Someone said they were getting texts from my phone number but I didn't send them.  Is that possible that someone hacked my iPhone and sent messages under my phone number?

    No. If your phone is not jailbroken, they can not do so.
    There are plenty of ways to spoof the caller ID string, though. It's illegal, but it can be done. The messages are not being sent from your phone. They are being sent from somewhere else by someone masquerading as you.
