  • HT3529 Why when i send an imessage to another iphone user it sometimes sends as atxt message and the other person doesnt end up getting the message?

    Sometimes when i send an imessage to another iphone user it comes out as a txt message. I was just wandering why this happens and sometimes when it does the message is never sent to the person.

    You can have a separate AppleID only for iMessage and keep using the other one for iTunes.
    Just change the AppleID used for iMessage in Settings > Messages > Receive At

  • My iPhone 4 sending a iMessage to another iPhone user, the message will send then says not delieverd? So I have to send it as a normal text message .

    Hey! So I'm having a problem with sending an IMessage to another iPhone user and they are having the same problem. The problem is; is that I send a message to them it will attempt to send then will say under the message that it was not delivered? So I send it as a normal text message. Weird part is that we both have full service and have the phone bills paid. Lol

    There is an earlier thread that was answered by an Apple employee that states they are seeing the iMessage and Facetime servers are down. It is unknown when they will return, however it generally is not an extended period of time.

  • How do I stop my iphone from sending my imessages to another iphone on my account?

    When I updated my Iphone 4 to the new iOS 6.1 software I had to do a restore process and everything on my phone got deleted, and when I started texting, I realized that everytime I received an imessage from someone, it was also going to my sisters iphone as well. Because of this she is getting all of my conversations that I am havign with people. And we have the same apple id account. Also, whenever she sends a text to someone that I have previously texted, it says that I actually sent the text instead of her. I was just wondering if anyone knew how to fix it.

    As has been explained countless times already on these forums...your phones are sharing the same AppleIDs.  Craete your own ID and configure your phone to use those services with that ID.  Edit your Messages settings to reflect the correct phone number and ID:  Settings --> Messages --> Send/Receive

  • Iphone 5C will not sent iMessage to another Iphone user who has not installed ios7

    I have found that if I am trying to send an imessage to another Iphone user who has not upgraded to ios7, the messages will appear in my history as "sending". I deleted that contact history and tried to send another text and it worked as it was sending as a "green message" rather than a "blue message".  Is there a way to work around this?

    Thanks for the answer.  Disabling iMessage does work, but it's a bit clunky to have to do that every time I want to message him.  Many of my other contacts have iPhones and I like the iMessage feature.
    He's had the same number for years and I only recently have had this issue, he doesn't have iMessage on any device, he only has an iPod nano.  I wonder what happened that all of a sudden it has defaulted to iMessage for him.
    Any other ideas?

    Additional Information
    You can change your iMessage Caller ID setting on iOS devices in Settings > Messages > Receive At > Caller ID. Note that the Caller ID setting is used only for new conversations. If you would like to change the address from which messages are sent, first change your Caller ID, and then delete the existing conversation and start a new one.
    iMessage responses will be sent from the address the recipient most recently messaged. For example, on iPhone you can receive messages sent to your Apple ID and phone number. A friend sends you a message to your Apple ID. Responses in this conversation will be sent from your Apple ID, even if your Caller ID is set to your phone number.

  • When I send an iMessage from my iPhone to another iPhone that is currently not on WiFi, does my message show up as blue or green?

    When I send an iMessage from my iPhone to another iPhone that is currently not on WiFi and using a cell connection, does my message show up as blue or green?

    Your message on your screen shows up blue if sent as iMessage or green if sent as regular text.  If not connected to wi-fi or cellular data, iMessage isn't available to/from.  Both of you need a data connection for iMessage to work.
    But your message on the recipient's screen will show up white.

    I'm sending an iMessage from my iPhone to another iPhone but the recipient phone does not receive message because not on wifi. Why does recipient iPhone not automatically receive in text messaging?

    Wi-Fi is not required for iMessage. Internet access is required for iMessage which includes when the iPhone is connected to the cellular network.
    If an iMessage cannot be sent, it will fail to send and you will be prompted to send as an SMS if text only.

  • How do I get another iphone to show up in iMessage?

    How do I get another iPhone to show up in iMessage?  I would like to have messages from more than one iPhone show up on my iPad

    If the phones are signed in with the same Apple ID under Settings > Messages > Send & Receive, then you should have the option to add that phone number under the same menu on the iPad.

  • How do I change my iMessage from sending from my email instead of my number? I went into settings and where I'm suppose to change where I send and recieve from it doesn't say anything about changing to a number but changing to another email account.

    WHen you go into iMessage settings at the top it will say your email account you are using for iMessage, press that and it will give options. Press sign out and it will use your current phone number if you're using an iPhone, if you're using an iPod then it will turn iMessage off. P.S. it doesn't sign you out of your itunes account for iTunes and all that, just for iMessage
