Do text messages use the data network?
We'll be traveling to several African countries that do not support data (so no email) but there is cell phone service - will I be able to send & receive text messages?
Thanks.
Just be sure you have international Roaming and Data plans or it will be extremely expensive.

Is it possible to send a text message using the UDP protocol?
Support doc
http://www.adobe.com/support/director/multiuser/using_udp/using_udp02.html
says to use the following format with connectToNetServer:
errCode =
gMultiuserInstance.connectToNetServer([#remoteAddress:
"chatServer.myCompany.com", #logonInfo: [#userID: "Bob",
#password:
"MySecret", #movieID: "Tech Chat"], #mode: #smus,
#localUDPPort: 1627,
#localAddress: "123.45.67.89", #remoteTCPPort: 1626])
But if I change the mode to #text, it still sends out
messages as smus.
In fact, if I leave out the UDP parameters altogether but
still use the
list parameters for connectToNetServer, it still always sends
as smus.
Sends as smus:
errCode =
gMultiuserInstance.connectToNetServer([#remoteAddress:
"chatServer.myCompany.com", #logonInfo: [#userID: "Bob",
#password:
"MySecret", #movieID: "Tech Chat"], #mode: #text,
#localUDPPort: 1627,
#localAddress: "123.45.67.89", #remoteTCPPort: 1626])
Sends as smus:
errCode =
gMultiuserInstance.connectToNetServer([#remoteAddress:
"chatServer.myCompany.com", #logonInfo: [#userID: "Bob",
#password:
"MySecret", #movieID: "Tech Chat"], #mode: #text])
Only the string parameter method can be made to send text
messages.
Sends as text:
errCode = gMultiuserInstance.connectToNetServer("Bob",
"MySecret",
"chatServer.myCompany.com", 1626, "Tech Chat", 1)
Am I missing something? Is this a known issue? Anyone have a
work around?

Thanks for the answer though.

Can you use the data while NOT on the EDGE network?
I am wondering if when I travel through SD and ND I will be able to use my data (email, web, maps...etc.) I am in Minneapolis on the EDGE network, but I'm concerned that in Sioux Falls, SD no a GPRS network I won't be able to use 1/2 the functions on my phone.
Before release the rumor was that it would work, but has anyone actually tried it yet?So essentially you're asking... if there's no Wi-Fi or EDGE coverage will you be able to use the data network features of the phone?
In short... from my experience the answer appears to be "no, it won't work." Allow me to elaborate:
I disabled Wi-Fi access and found an EDGE dead spot where the phone could not connect to the EDGE data network but I could place a phone call. When I attempted to launch Mail and sync, I got a message saying that my IMAP server could not be reached. When attempted to launch a website, I received an error message stating that the server could not be reached.
End result, I was unable to use any of the data network features of the phone. So it would appear... that the answer is no. It will not use the basic GPRS undearlining network. However it's quite possible that your results may vary. -
what is the difference between the green text bubble that reads "sent as text message" and the blue text bubble reporting "delivered?" Is the green text bubble not delivered?
iMessages are sent using Apple servers, using either WiFi or Cellular data. They can only be sent to/from iDevices or Macs that have the Messages app. SMS messages use the cellular network. Both methods can deliver the message to the recipient.

HT1454 how do I print off my text messages to include date and time received I have an iphone 3G
Hi I have an iphone 3G and need to know how to print off some of my text messages including the date and time. Does anyone know how I do this?
Yeah Dave is right, thats a good idea.
We could also cry to apple at www.apple.com/feedback
Many people seem to want this feature including myself....Sometimes. I can live without it but sometimes I find myself search for the specific time I sent a specific message and cannot find it. -
I am having a data excess usage issue with my Jetpack although I did not use the VZW network at all.
Background: My home does not have access to landline internet and I am relying on a Verizon Jetpack device rather than satellite cable for internet access. Within my JetPack wireless network I have several devices connected, iPADs, PC’s, printer, etc. (up to 5 devices can be connected with my system). Recently, I had one device within my immediate wireless network that I needed to transfer data via FTP to another local device within my immediate network. The receiving device FTP’d data from device (198.168.1.42) to local IP (address 192.168.1.2). To understand the data path a Trace rout for this transfer is 198.168.1.42 (source) to 198.168.1.1 (Jetpack) to 192.168.1.2 (receiver). Note that the VZW network ((cloud)/4G network) was NOT used in this transfer nor was any VZW bandwidth used for this transfer (of course less the typical overhead status/maintenance communications that happen regardless). Use of the VZW bandwidth would be something like downloading a movie from Netflix, (transferring data from a remote site, through the VZW network, into the Jetpack and to the target device). I also understand if ones devices have auto SW updates that would also go against the usage as well. I get that. My understanding of my usage billing is based data transfer across the VZW network.
Now to the problem: To my surprise I was quite substantially charged for the “internal” direct transfer of this data although I didn’t use the VZW network at all. This does not seem to be right, and doesn’t make much sense to me. Usage is should be based on the VZW network not a local Wi-Fi. In this case, Verizon actually gets free money from me without any use of or impact to the VZW network. Basically this is a VERY expensive rental for the jetpack device, which I bought anyway. Considering this, I am also charged each time I print locally. Dive into this further, I am also interested in knowing what is the overhead (non-data) communications between the jetpack router and devices and how much does that add up to over time?
Once I realized I was getting socked in bandwidth, as a temp solution I found an old Wi-Fi router, created a separate Wi-Fi network off the Jetpack, but the billing damage was already done. Switching each device back and forth to FTP and print is a hassle and there should be no reason the existing hardware couldn’t handle this and charges aligned with VSW usage. Is purposely intended by Verizon? Is this charging correct? And can I get some help with this?
Logically, usage should be based on VZW network usage not internal transfers. All transfers between IP addresses 192.168 are by default internal. Any data that needs to leave the internal network are translated in to the dynamic IP addresses established by the VZW network. That should be very easily detected for usage. In the very least, this fact needs to be clearly identified and clarified to users of the Jetpack. How would one use a local network and not get socked with usage charges? Can one set up a Wi-Fi network with another router, hardwire directly from the router to the Jetpack so that only data to and from the VZW network is billed? I might be able to figure out how to have the jetpack powered on but disable the VZW connection, but I don’t want to experiment and find out that the internal transfers are being logged and the log sent after the fact anyway once I connect…. A reasonable solution should be that users be able to use the router functions of the Jetpack (since one has to buy the device anyway) and only be billed for VZW usage.
Your help in this would be greatly appreciated. Thanksi had one mac and spilt water on it, the motherboard fried so i had to buy a used one...being in school and all. it is a MC375lla

i do not have a backup of it, so i am thinking about replacing my old hard drive from the water damaged into this one, not even sure if that would work, but it did not seem to be damaged, as i recovered all the files i wanted off of it to put onto this mbp
the previous owner didnt have it set to boot, they had all their settings left on it and tried to edit all the names on it, had a bunch of server info and printers etc crap on it. i do not believe he edited the terminal system though--he doesnt seem to terribly bright(if thats possible)
tbh i hate lion compared to the old one i had, this one has so many more issues-overheating,fan noise, cd dvd noise

HT1688 why are my imessages now turning into text messages all the time?
Why are my iMessages now turning into text messages all the time?
There are a number of reasons why they may be sent as regular sms and not iMessages. If either party is in an area with poor reception and the the data network is struggling, the regular sms messages will be sent to the recipient. iMessage can be switched off at a users convienince, your recipients may have iMessage turned off when you've sent those messages.
There are instances where the iMessage server is not responding due to techinical issues (although, few and far between) -
I have an iPad 2, connecting via Wifi to an Actiontec Q1000 modem. The iMac (3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 1067 MHz RAM, running OS 10.8.2) is also hard wired to the same modem. Internet access is via CenturyLink. Main email is from Shaw cable in Calgary (Phoenix is a vacation property), not through CenturyLink.
Can receive email on the iMac, but every time I try to send, I get a pop up saying "Cannot send message using the server .......". Further prompts me to verify the address in the email, and SMTP settings in Mail preferences, or to select a different outgoing mail server. I've tried using a number of servers, always the same result.
Using same settings in both devices.Mail is not my forte, but what I noticed was that you have Centurylink and presumably have your Mail set up with their settings? But then you mention Shaw/vacation property/etc - you can send out email only through the server that you have set up as an account using the ISP you are using. If you switch places, do you have separate accounts set up with both Centurylink and Shaw so you can switch and use whichever one you're at? A Phoenix ISP won't work with a Mail POP account unless you're in your home - Phoenix - area.
Do you have a data plan with your iPad? That would explain why that works - it'll function sort of like a cellphone - works anywhere where there are signals. -
Cannot send message using the server (null)
i use mail 2.1.
i have a .mac account and have three other email accounts attached to my mail account.
lately, i cannot send any email.
the switchiing ports fix hasn't helped either.
this is the error message:
CANNOT SEND MESSAGE USING THE SERVER (null)
The server response was: 5.1.0 <email [email protected]>...
From address does not match authentication.
Use the pop-up menu below to try a different outgoing mail server. All messages will use this server until you quit Mail or change your network settings.
Message from: email <[email protected]>
Send message using: [there is a combo box here with all the four accounts servers listed]
no matter which one i pick it doesn't work and no email is sent.
anyone have this error before? or now how to fix it?
i'd be appreciative.
thanks
1.67 GHz Power PC PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6) Sony HDR HC3 HD HandyCam MiniDVI was having a similar problem (don't feel like typing all the details)
I was about to to delete my com.apple.mail.plist, when finally it hit me.
I ran ethereal (again, I'm sorry, but learning how to use ethereal is a topic unto itself). Following the TCP stream (ie. looking at the smtp messages being sent back and forth) I came across two problems. For some reason my port number was set to 567 or something like that, when it's supposed to be 25, as I had originally set it to.
Once I corrected the port number I started receiving an error message from the smtp server. It said the return email address could not be authenticated. (using xyz.com as an example) The correct return email address was supposed to be [email protected], but for some reason it was changed to john@xyz in the account settings.
Anyway, to get to the point, another thing to check is that your return address has been set correctly, and if all else fails, make sure you have X11 installed and use fink to install and run ethereal. This will let you know if you are actually connecting to the server, and will show you any error messages.
PS. I think this problem started occurring with the last update made to mail. I believe it somehow corrupted my settings. This would explain how my port number could have been changed to the default port number of .mac mail. -
OSX Mail - Cannot send message using the server ....
Hi there,
Mac Pro with OSX 10.6.
*Can receive mail, but can no longer send email* using the program Mail.
Been getting the popup "Cannot send message using the server [shawmail.vc.shawcable.net] for the past 3 days. I hadn't changed anything about my computer, and have had the Mac for 2+ years. So this just started doing it on it's own.
I had a technical support guy from my service provider even interface with my computer, where he could see my desktop right over the internet, and he couldn't get it fixed either.
I googled this problem, and found solutions like:
1. Uncheck "Use SSL" (Done that, and it was never checked "on" to begin with)
2. Make sure Authentication is set to none, with no password (done that, and it wasn't set with a password to begin with)
3. Delete [user]/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist (done that, didn't do anything)
4. We even totally deleted my account, and started a new fresh one. Didn't work
The tech support guy did show me a way to email online, using the same email account. That worked, but it's a hassle to go onto a web-based email program -- it's not my preference. So, with great certainty, it's not my service provider, because I was able to send emails on this web-based email program using my email account.
So there, I'm stumped.
Hopefully someone can help. What's bizarre is that googling this problem, I have found many other people that say it happens arbitrarily, out of nowhere.I can't believe how ridiculous this issue is. i have been searching for days for a solution to this. i have tried EVERY recommendation on these forums and nothing works. It appears that this issue dates back to TIGER. I had this problem back in January and just bagged figuring it had something to do with iweb. I bought a new html program and was able to send out my newsletter last month no problem. Suddenly, one month later- here i am again, unable to send out my newsletter with no help from Apple or verizon, or these forims, or anyone else. To think that a company that I have stood behind and loved so much can't be be bothered fixing such a simple issue that has been going on now through 5 OS's (I am using Lion but I had the issue using leopard as well) is a disgrace.
