Does FaceTime send an automatic text message to the email address of the user trying to call me?

I called my friend's cell phone, via FaceTime, on my macbook using my email address.
The call said she was unavailable, and immediately after, I received a text message to my email address from her cell phone number saying "can't talk right now, what's up". I thought it was strange since she never texts my email from her phone, and I had never received a message like that from FaceTime before.
She said she never sent the email. Is it possible FaceTime does it automatically, and why all of a sudden now? Or, was her cell hacked, or it was just her?

Hi nquan1989,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post where you received a message indicating the person you were contacting was busy, indicates they elected to send a message and decline the call, thus sending the message to your email.
Can’t take a call right now?  When a FaceTime call comes in, you can answer, decline, or choose another option.
Make and answer calls
Cheers,
Alex H.

  • ? Exalt does not send or receive text messages

    My Exalt Android phone will not send or receive text messages and the Verizon support area is not responding.

        We apologize for the delay, DieselDoug!
    What device do you have exactly? We want to make sure we get the texts to work again. We are not familiar with Exalt Android.
    Are you using  a text app?

    Had the same problem a while ago. Call your mobile operator and they should guide you. It is some numbers that varies from each phone operator...

  • Brand New Iphone 5c can't send or receive text messages of any kind!? I've tried everything, why does no one have a solution for this? There's no way we're keeping a phone that can't even perform one of it's most basic functions. Help!

    Got the new Iphone 5c from Verizon today and was really happy with the phone until we realized it is unable to send or recieve text messages AT ALL. We've tried everything, searched the internet for hours, I've tried live chatting with Verizon and Apple ALL DAY and somehow keep getting "disconnected" even though my internet is working perfectly. The phone is pretty much useless if it's unable to perform one of it's main functions and it's really dissapointing to add a line, get the phone, only to discover a major problem with seemingly no solution whatsoever. Is there any fix for this? Because a phone that is incapable of sending or receiving a simple SMS message is pretty much useless. It's too bad too because I really love the phone if not for that. Does anyone have a legitimate way to solve this problem? We've done everything, network resets, turning imessaging on and off, factory reset, etc. etc. etc. and nothing works. Please help.

        Hello Idkallday!
    I know your device sends and receives text messages! Let's get to work on this! Did you port your service from another carrier, or is this a new number? Is your previous device still powered on?
    I also want to ask if you are able to use iMessaging, and if you see any error message when sending?
    Please test it by sending a message to your own mobile number, and keep us posted!

  • Can u send an URGENT text message on the Droid Charge???

    I been trying to figure out how to send an urgent text message. I've had the phone since lst November and seems all I can do is send regualr text messages. How can u send an urgent text message so that it grabs the recipients attention to respond as soon as possible. Like for example, that person ur sending the message to is in a situation where they cant recieve phone calls, so u gotta text them instead and its an urgent matter, so ur wanna to send an urgent text message that grabd their attention immediately.  So does anyone know how u go about sending an urgent text message? Please get back to me. Thanks -Brian

    don't know aside from calling someone.  if they are unable to receive phone calls, then they are probably unable to receive texts.  you could sending them an e-mail - perhaps they have a data signal?

  • Can't send or recieve text messages on the 7610

    Whilst on holiday my phone stopped beingable to send or recieve text messages. It was working for a few days but then just stopped and the message "delete some data to recieve sim messages". I deleted almost everything but nothing has worked. Im now back in the U.K and its still the same. Also, underneath the battery bar is an icon which I have never seen before, its the number 1 with an arrow underneath it going from left to right and pointing mid way thru.
    Is this a virus? Can anyone help please?

    I'd upgrade your firmware because when I had a 7610 it used to do all sorts of dodgy things like what has happened to you.

  • HT3529 Question regarding sending a text message to an email address

    I have an Iphone #G. I am using Tmobile service on it.  If I send a message (in my text messages, not email account) to an email address, it looks like a text message when I send it but their reply, looks like an email to me ([email protected]), and it always includes my original message with their reply.
    How can I make my messages that come to my email ([email protected]) resemble a text message like they do when I send the message to an email account.   Is this a setting that can be adjusted?
    Thanks!

    Can't send a text message to their phone number.  They don't have texting - they only do emails.  So I have to send my message to their email address.

  • I am having issues with being able to send videos through text message after the update

    I have the motorola droid 4 and after the recent update, I am no longer able to change my video settings on my phone. I need to be able to change the quality to low to be able to send as mms, however the option is no longer there? I have went through settings and nothing gives me the option to record a video and send it through text. error says that the video can not be attached because it is too large.  can someone please assist me. The update was 4.1.2 version.

    I have the Droid 4, and the 4.1.2 OS; when I open the camera and switch to video, then tap the gear for settings, I can choose HD+ (1080), all the way down to 320x240 resolution (5 different choices for resolution)
    I can then go to that video in my gallery, and I have the share option there... how long is the video you are trying to send?  What is the total size of the file?  Perhaps the receiving party's phone cannot receive the video file?

  • How can I block spam text messages from an email address?

    Twice per week I am getting spam texts in the middle of the night from a random email address, in reference to a free Target gift card. The problem is, the sender's email address is different every time. Any ideas how to make it stop??

    Forward the texts to SPAM and follow the directions in the reply text that you receive from Verizon.
    Or log into your on-line MyVerizon account, click on the blue More Actions under I Want To, under Safety and Security, click on the blue Block Internet Spam.  Enter the e-mail addresses, or go to the bottom and check block all.  Click the red Apply.
    That was one of the first things I did when starting my current account with Verizon Wireless. I blocked all premium messages and messages from the Internet. Those blocks are still in place to this day.

  • Help! My ex boyfriend and I used to share apple ids. I have since created my own however my email is still linked to his I'd and he receives my text messages from an email address of mine on his ipad that I also receive on mine! How do I remove my email?

    My ex boyfriend and I used to share apple ids. Since we are no longer together, I have created my own apple id and associated my email address for texting on my ipad. However, he still receives my text messages that go to my email address on HIS ipad! I don't have his apple id password so I cannot delete my email from his iTunes account, nor will he give it to me. I just don't want him to see my text messages! How do I delete it from his ipad?

    Each of you need to have your own apple id's instead of sharing is the best way. But you can go to each phones settings, messages, send and recieve, and down to start new conversation from, and make sure each of you have your own email address with a check mark beside of it not the same address.

  • How do I forward a series of text messages to an email address?

    How can I copy and paste a whole text conversation such that I can send it to an email address?

    Use screen shots, or a third-party app. Touch Copy has been mentioned in this forum as a good one.

    It is a sprint issue and other carriers have that same problem. I get multiple copies of texts from other carriers all the time to my iphone. It isn't the iphone, it is the carrier sending the text message several times because they haven't received and ack message from the recepient.
