Do i need an i phone to be able to use imessage on my ipad

di i need to have an iphone to be able to use my ipad i message

It appears to be a very easy process. Essentially you turn it on in the settings ..... Read this for more info

When you enable it in the settings - it should attach your Apple ID for you. If you want to use another email address - you can do that in the settings as well.
Google it - there are a bunch of articles online that explain it.

  • When I try to use iMessage on my iPad my phone number doesnt come up, only my email address does. HELP !

    When I try to use iMessage on my iPad my phone number doesnt come up, only my email address does. HELP !!!!!!

    It is OK to use the same apple id on multiple devices. That is how it was intended to be used. The phone number used must be a number registered on an iPhone. I receive imessages and face time calls on my iPad, iPhone and imac. Sometimes the email addresses and iPhone numbers don't properly register on all device. Logging out and back in on all devices can fix the issue.
    Now with the release of ios 8 other compatible Apple devices can use the iPhone over a WiFi network to send and receive vioce calls as well.

  • My phone won't let me use imessage in a group chat

    I have an iPhone 5 and after updating to iOS 8 my group chat only is not letting me use imessage it is only letting me use text message. I've gone to settings> messages > send& receive and I see that my apple ID is in use and imessage is turned on but my cell phone number has a check mark next to it but it is grey and it wont let me click it. Please help me. In any other case it wouldn't be a big deal but my school has no service, so If I need to contact my friends in this chat I cannot. Thank you!

    Can you use iMessage in this chat when you're not at school? If you're using your school's wifi, it's possible iMessage is blocked.

  • Not being able to send iMessage to PHONE NUMBER, but able to send iMessage to E-MAIL ADDRESS

    My sister's iPhone's iMessage setting "You can be reached for messages at" is set to her PHONE NUMBER and her APPLE ID e-mail ADDRESS. When I send a text message to her APPLE ID e-mail ADDRESS it goes as an iMessage and she receives an iMessage. However, when I send a text message to her PHONE NUMBER it goes as a TEXT message from my phone but is received as an iMessage on her end. She is able to send an iMessage when she sends a text message to my phone number.
    Why is the text message to her PHONE NUMBER not going as an iMessage?

    So far, I must say iMessage has not been very reliable.  It has taken much longer time to send out or receive iMessages because it has to go through Apple server to relay the message.  It also does not keep the message at server to relay at a later time if the recipient is not on 3G data or wifi.
    If you go to your iPhone setting, under Messages, you will find that "Send As SMS" is turned on by default, meaning at any time if iMessage server is busy or has difficulty in relaying the message over to the recipient., your message will automatically be changed to regular SMS.  If you want to avoid that, you have to turn off "Send As SMS".  But by doing that, you may sometimes find messages not being delivered.

  • Must touch speaker phone to be able to use ipone

    Hello all,
    My wifes' iphone 4S is driving her crazy.  She uses it as a phone with no headsets, nor bluetooth.  When she answers a call, she cannot hear the calling party until after she hits the speaker phone button.  People cannot hear her answer either.  But when she touches speaker phone all reverts to normal operation.
    Any ideas of how to fix this? Tia, ron7624

    See if this sheds any light on your issue...

    Also, have you tried a Reset... you will not lose any data or settings and has been known to cure many ills...
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

  • Do I need two separate licenses to be able to use Flash Builder on Mac and Windows?

    Does my Creative Cloud subscription allow me to install Flash Builder on both Mac and Windows machines?

    Hi,
    I know it has been a while since you replied to me. I tried it at the time and sadly it didnt work and I got frustrated and ignored it for a while. I have just tried what you suggested again and this is how it went:
    • I have connected both the AX and iMac via ethernet cables to the O2 box.
    • This time my iMac did detect the AX and it automatically opened the AirPort Utility window.
    • I followed your instructions on the setting and connected it to my existing network etc.
    • It asked to restart the AX.
    • After a long wait this message appear:
    "Airport Utility was unable to find your Apple wireless device after restarting.
    The settings for this Apple wireless device have been successfully updated, but there was a problem rejoining the wireless network or finding the Apple wireless device. You may need to select your network from the AirPort menu and try again."
    I tried this and now when I click Rescan in the AirPort utility it just says that it cannot detect any devices. And in the meantime the AX is still flashing orange.
    Do you think that the AX is faulty. Although it was functioning perfectly in my previous flat. I just don't understand how one minute the iMac detects it and the next it doesn't even though the settings have been supposable successfully updated. Very frustrating.
    Thanks for your time,
    Louca

  • HT4528 i had 2 iphones on my verizon account. they were both stolen and reported through verizon, but seems that the people that stole phones are still able to use them under another carrier. the device ids are 100003605d73e for the black iphone and 99000

    I had two iphone 4 that were a part of my verizon account. both the phones were stolen and are apparently still being used. the device id for the white 4s is 99000267591838 and the black iphone4 A100003605d73e. Is there any way apple can check with verizon with my permission and verify and at least make the devices unusable to theives?

    You can report the IMEI to Verizon.

  • I paid full price for my unlocked phone to be able to use it when I travel overseas. Now I'm in Indonesia and I can't use my phone with local sim card. Why?

    As above.  This is really starting to **** me off.

    Perhaps you didn't a actually buy an "unlocked" iPhone, you just bought one "without contract" - they are both "full price".
    Where did you buy it?

  • Need a new phone!

    So, do I have to pay full price if I want a new phone on the same account before my upgrade comes around?? I'm needing a new phone ASAP

    Yes, or buy a used one and BYOD. Any chance you, or a friend, have an old device in a drawer somewhere to use until you're eligible for an upgrade? Keep in mind, two year subsidized contract phones could disappear any day now.
