Do you need to be constantly connected to wifi or 3G to receive texts from another apple user using iMessage?

Do you need to be constantly connected to wifi or 3G to receive texts from another apple phone user who is using iMessage?

No.
Much as a missed call while not connected goes to voicemail, a missed text or iMessage while not connected will wait until you are connected, then be delivered.
There is one exception, however.  Many cellular carriers do not support iMessage.  So if you are connected by cellular signal and not WiFi, you will receive the message as an SMS text message using your cellular carrier.

    You didn't install Oracle correctly, especially you didn't run the root.sh and rootpre.sh scripts.
    If you would have read the error message at all, and researched it, you would have known this.
    Regrettably however you decided to ignore Forums Etiquette and to abuse this forum with Yet Another Doc Question.

  • My cousin isn't recieving my text messages. We never text through imessage because she is never connected to WIFI. Now, when I text her, it is sending through imessage but she isn't recieving them.

    My cousin recently got an Ipad. Ever since then, when we text through our iphones, our thread is through imessage, and when I send her a text, it says delivered, but she isn't recieving them. She insists she has imessage turned off on both devices. She doesn't use imessage because she is never connected to wifi and doesn't want to use her data, so that is why we text through regular texting (green and white). I don't know if this has anything to do with her setting up her ipad, but my texts to her started sending through imessage only right after she set up the new device. My texts are being delivered somewhere because after I text her, it says "delivered"  I can also recieve texts from her, she just can't see mine. Again, she said imessage is not activated on either of her devices, so I have no idea what the problem is. She is able to text other people with iphones just fine. We both have an iphone 5S, and she just got a used ipad mini. PLEASE HELP!!

    It is no wonder she is not receiving your messages if she has iMessage turned off in her iPad.
    For her to receive iMessages on the iPad, she needs to turn iMessage ON in her iPad and then she needs to be connected to the internet in order to receive them.  This connection can go through WiFi or through cellular data if her iPad has this functionality, but those two requirements are a must.
    1. iMessages ON
    2. iPad connected to Wifi or cellular data.

  • I deleted an app from my mac but it still says that i need an update but i can do this because i downloaded it from another apple id

    what to do?

    Ignore it unless you actually now want the application. In that case redownload it then update it by logging into the App Store with the other Apple ID.

  • Can you send msgs from any apple device using imessage to any non apple product with imessage and is it worth getting 3g for a ipad?

    Question says it all

    No you cannot:
    " Text messaging with iMessage is now on iPad and it’s unlimited between all iOS 5 users. "
    http://www.apple.com/ipad/built-in-apps/messages.html
    It ONLY works between iphones/ipod/ipad with ios 5.

  • I just subscribed to ITunes Match. I'm trying to connect my wife's phone. She has a different Apple ID. How can I connect her?

    I just subscribed to ITunes Match. I was able to connect my phone and Ipad but I cant't connect my wife's phone. She has a different Apple ID.

    The iCloud and iTunes Store account ID are not the same thing. They can be different although some folks, like myself, do have the same Apple ID for all the Apple services. Go to Settings > Store and enter the exact same iTunes Store account ID you used to purchase iTunes Match. Be aware you can only switch Apple IDs on an iOS device every 90 days.

  • Hi. I have an iPhone 4 and no data plan.  When I'm not connected to wifi I don't receive iMessages, but later when I do connect to wifi, I get them telling me they were sent earlier. I don't remember how long this has been happening.  Any Help?

    Hi. I have an iPhone 4 with iOS7 and no data plan. When I am not connect to wifi I don't receive iMessages, but then when I do connect to wifi I get the messages telling me they were sent earlier.  Is there any thing I can do to fix it?  I don't remember how long this has been happening but it is very frustrating. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks!!!

    If you don't have a cellular data plan, then why are you expecting that you will have an active internet connection unless you are connected to wi-fi?
    iMessages require either wi-fi or a cellular data connection.

  • How do you open a Numbers file sent from another Mac user with same operating system, i get a pop up that says I'm missing an index.hml file??? HELP PLEASE

    how do you open a Numbers file sent from another Mac user with same operating system, i get a pop up that says I'm missing an index.hml file??? HELP PLEASE

    The operating system may be the same but the Numbers applications are likely different.  You need to get the apps in sync.  Unfortunately, the Numbers (and Pages as well) saga is pretty confusing (and frustrating).  Here's some info from the iWork resident version expert (PeterBreis0807):
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs.

  • 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

  • Hi I've a big problem with adobe acrobat reader XI pro and I hope you can help me. The problem is; when I past copied text from some pdf books (not all of them) it past symbols only! wherever I past it! and even if I coped that text from another pdf reade

    Hi
    I've a big problem with adobe acrobat reader XI pro and I hope you can help me.
    The problem is; when I past copied text from some pdf books (not all of them) it past symbols only! wherever I past it! and even if I coped that text from another pdf reader (adobe pdf reader, internet browsers, ...etc.).
    This problem started to happen since yesterday when I installed adobe acrobat reader XI pro to try it before I buy it, and before that when I was using the free adobe pdf reader I was totally able to copy any text from any pdf and past it anywhere with nothing wrong.
    What can I do?
    thank you a lot.

    There is no product called Adobe Acrobat Reader Pro. There is
    - Adobe Acrobat Pro ($$)
    - Adobe Reader (free)
    Which do you have? And are you a programmer?

  • Regarding receiving texts as emails:  Can you apply this setting to one individual? I want to continue to receive texts from everyone else except one person!

    Regarding receiving texts as emails:  Can you apply this setting to one individual? I want to continue to receive texts from everyone else except one person!

    Don't want to block the person, just have all his texts going directly to my email so that I can maintain a continuous record of his text contacts (rather than remain in text form).
    It appears that I must select an option that makes ALL texts go to email, which I'd prefer not doing.

  • Does Firefox OS have a feature that alerts or notify's you if an incoming call has been redirected or diverted to your phone (from another phone)?

    Hi, Was wondering if
    Firefox OS have a feature that alerts or notify's you if an incoming call has been redirected or diverted to
    your phone (from another phone)?
    This feature was common in basic phones and feature phones but is absent on Android, Apple
    and Windows phones.
    It's useful if your operating a business and want to distinguish if an incoming call is a personal
    or a business call.
    Cheers
    Greg

    Hi GregCh,
    I understand that you would like a way to distinguish between incoming calls that were dialed directly to your phone number, and incoming calls that were forwarded to your phone number (from another phone).
    Unfortunately, there is no such feature in Firefox OS that I am aware of. Forwarding services such as Google Voice may have settings available that would allow you to distinguish the forwarded incoming calls, but I am not entirely sure.
    Please let us know if you have any other questions about your Firefox OS device.
    Thanks,
    - Ralph

  • TS2755 I recently upgraded my IPhone and for 1 person I began receiving this "7233375 Error Invalid Number. Please re-send using a valid 10 digit mobile number or valid short code". I receive text from this person but cannot send. Please help. Thank you.

    Hi there
    I’d be happy to help with this messaging error! This will be due to the device storing the number incorrectly. Please do the following to resolve the issue:
    Delete texts from both old number and new
    Delete any call logs including these numbers
    Delete old number from contacts
    Delete new number from contacts
    Restart device
    Send text to the new number directly (do not save as contact)
    Once the text sends successfully, you can then save as a new contact
    I hope this helps!
