Cant Send SMS Text from iPhone

I cant send any SMS texts. I can send iMessages and MMS (pictures), so when i want to text a non-iphone user i have to text, let it fail to deliver, then take a screenshot of this and send screenshot pic to the person.

Manual cutting of a SIM is always a risk, as you have witnessed. It is best to get a SIM directly from your carrier that is designed for your particular model of the phone. That eliminates these types of problems.

I can't send SMS text from iPad 4 w/ cellular, no option to add or turn off/on

I can no longer send SMS text with IPad 4 w/ cellular. There is no option in settings-messages to turn on SMS like on iphone5. Everything is trying to be sent iMessage which fails when sending text to non apple users. This change occurred after last iOS update.

I can confirm this for the Ipad Mini with iOS6.1
Although the cellular hardware is available - the iPad doesn't handle SMS Text messages.
For those trying to use prepaid 3G internet data simcards, not being able to send or receive text messages pretty much cripples most 3G prepaid internet simcard packages available around the world.

How to auto forward sms texts from iphone to iphone?

I just got the new iphone 5 for work... which is great, but it means that I will be carrying around my personal iphone 4 and the new iphone. I would like to get this down to just one iphone, so can I auto forward my texts from iphone to iphone? Is there an app for that... and, if so, what is it?
Thanks!

Not sure if Google Voice will do that or if one of the TextFree apps will...but you can check those out and see if they meet your needs.

Confirm that you have MMS Messaging set to On in Settings>Messages. If it is, check with your carrier to confirm that your messaging plan is properly provisioned for MMS.

Sending mass text from iphone to 'group' in address book or contacts

hi! does anyone know how to send mass text message to a group i already have set up in address book/contacts? i have tried looking up the group as a contact to send a text but that doesn't work. am i just missing something here?
thanks!

If you send an SMS or an email to 500 people or to 10 people, yes.
Copied from my previous post in this thread.
Addressing an SMS or an email to an address book group is not supported - at the present time anyway.

Move SMS texts from iphone 3g to Iphone4

Morning all. A nice delivery man has just brought me a shiney new Iphone4 which I would like to fill up with my old previous SMS text messages. The rest of the stuff I can sync without an issue. Is there any way of copying the data from one to the other?
Cheers Simon

I had an iPhone 3GS and wanted to transfer my SMS's to my new iPhone 4
I saw all the above methods
Sorry to say but all are very confusing
so I found this
Extremely simple and easy method to solve (The SMS Transfer) issue
I wanted to share with the community
well here it goes
Step One : Backup both your iPhones
Step Two : Search and download iTools for iPhone free download (for PC or MAC)
Step Three : Open itools & plug in your iphone 3GS
Step Four : Your iPhone will be detected & all details would be displayed on the left Panel
Step Five : Click on File Sytems
Step Six : On the right Panel click on filesystem (Jailbreak)
Step Seven : Go to filesystem/user/ library/sms
Step Eight : On the far right panel, you will see some very important folders and files
Step Nine : Simply Select All, Right Click and copy em in a new Folder may be on the desktop                     (Name it iPhone 3GS SMS)
Step Ten : Disconnect iphone 3GS and connect iPhone 4
Step Eleven : Repeat the steps from Five to Nine (Only copy them in a new folder and name it                      iPhone 4 SMS. (Note : We dont need these files n folders, but just in case                            something goes wron, we can replace them back)
Step Twelve : Copy the files n folders from the directory on the desktop named iPhone 3GS SMS
                     and paste the in the iphone 4 here (the program will ask wether to replace                             existing files n folders, in some chinese lingo, but u can see Y and N on each                           buttons so click on the left (Y)
And thats about it, You are done, As simple as that, All the SMS on the iPhone 3GS are transfered on the new device.
Screen Shot Attached for your reference
Caution : This worked like a charm for me, but it may not be the same for everyone so just in case anything goes wrong you can replace the previously saved files n folders in iPhone 4 SMS directory back. I am very clear, I am not responsible for any loss or damage, Do at your own risk.

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.

Cant send/recieve email from iPhone on wifi - 3G works fine

I cant send or recieve email on my iPhone / iPad when on WIFI - when I turn off WIFI, it all works fine on 3G. I tried to delete my exchange-account, and then both gmail accounts works fine on wifi. Any thoughts?
...or rather; I think maybe it sends/recieves, but it takes a very long time.

Make sure that your router is setup to not block any ports.
as well check with your ISP to ensure those servers are not blocked.
you shouln't have any issues with receiving mail. the outgoing would be the only issue you should be having.
make sure you add an alternate SMTP server (using your ISP's server) to send email when on wifi

Cant send an email from iPhone 5

Ever since I got my iPhone 5,I have been unable to send an email.
I just get a message to say
"The connection to the outgoing server smtp.hotmail.co.uk failed. Additional Outgoing Mail Server can be configered in Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars."
I have tried everything to connect the phone to my hotmail.co.uk account, but I am having no luck.
The settings are exactly the same as what was on my iPhone 4, so I don't understand what the problem is.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Gemma

iTunes will not import non-iTunes purchases from iOS devices. If you still have your old computer you can transfer your iTunes library to your new one.

Not receiving texts from iPhone contacts when I'm not connected to wifi or cell data. I can't send and receive regular SMS texts with non iMessage users but iMessage users message are not being converted to text when I don't have internet connect

I can send and receive to any non iPhone user. I can send a message as a text to an iPhone user but if I'm not connected to cellular data or wifi I do not receive messages from iPhone contacts. From what I understand these message should automatically send to me as texts instead of iMessages but since the update it's not functioning properly. Please help. I've tried turning iMessage off and I still don't receive the messages until after I reconnect to wifi.

I have the same problem! Before the upgrade, if I wasn't connected to the internet, any messages sent to me from an iphone would convert automatically to a text message. I have payg tarriff, so I turn cell data off, as it costs too much to use it. I have wifi at home and work, but if I'm out and about, I don't receive texts from iphone users until I'm on wifi. I get them ok from non iphone users. There was never any problem until ios7
