Facebook chat - sending messages to offline contact

Whenever I am writing something to a Facebook contact via Skype, and this person happens to go offline, even if it is just for a minute, the Skype window prohibits me from typing anything else as it changes to the "x is offline. Send SMS" window immediately. Also, there is no way to access what I have already typed till the contact in question comes back online.  As this is terribly frustrating, I am wondering if there is a way to turn this off by changing some sort of setting, or whether this could be fixed in an upgrade or so. It of course shouldn't be an issue as Facebook itself allows offline messaging too. A lot of my contacts actually just get on Facebook chat whenever I send them a message. I encounter the described problem about twice a day in average. Thanks a lot!!

Common, it's a basic feature of any chat client. Some my facebook friends are invisible but still chat, however Skype consider they're offline and I cannot send message to them from Skype desktop. Please allowed us to send message to FB offline contacts (in fact, they're really online, just invisible / turn off Chat status).

  • I have problem with my contacts.  I can't send message if the contact didn't send me a message before.  How can I add new address?

    Hi tizac,
    You will want to add them to your Contacts. 
    There's a "+" button at the bottom of the contact list on the left to add a contact.
    If you need to add the email address or phone number to an existing contact, there's an Edit button at the bottom of the contact info (on the right).
    Once you have the contact email address or phone number you want to message to, scroll all the way down to the bottom of their information and there are options to:
    Send Message               FaceTime
    Share Contact             Add to Favorites
    Of course choose "Send Message" to send an iMessage to them and you will start a new chat.  You will be given the options of how to contact them, via phone number (if they are on an iPhone) or email (if they are on an iPod touch or iPad).   They do need to be signed up for iMessage or it won't allow you to send.

  • Ichat-AIM error. can no longer send messages to offline buddies

    I was always able to send messages to offline buddies before until today when I received this message:
    "AIM error
    Your message could not be sent.
    You cannot send any more offline messages."
    After receiving this message I was no longer able to send messages to any of my offline buddies, not just the one that I was IMing at the time . I was using an AIM sn that I created before I bought my macbook (I just got my macbook in January). Please help me! How can I go back to the way things were? I've been scouring the online forums and have not been able to find a solution to my problem! please help!
    (iChat Version 4.0.3 (605))

    Hi,
    Welcome to the  Discussions
    iChat does not have a setting for changing this.
    iChat can not send Off Line Messages but can receive them if you don't block them with the AIM System Message Chat that comes at the same time.
    iChat 4 can send them and receive them.
    The Incoming ones can be blocked in th same way.
    I have no info if blocking Incoming ones causes the Outgoing ones to be stopped as well.
    As iChat does not have this feature you would need to download a client (for AIM) that does allow you to change the Setting.
    AIM for Mac is still at version 4.7 and does not seem to have a setting for this.
    I would look at AdiumX or ProteusX

  • IPhone 6 not sending messages to some contacts?

    Iphone 6 will not send text messages to some of my contacts. It will say ENABLE iMESSAGE TO SEND THIS MESSAGE... But iMessage IS enabled and I'm trying to text someone who doesn't have an iPhone anyway. SMS MMS is on.  I just updated the software in case that was the issue, but that didn't help.
    help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hey there MeenaVee,
    If you are still unable to send to some of your contacts, use these troubleshooting steps from the following article to help get that resolved:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and recreate the contact in the Contacts app. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • Can't Send Message to One Contact

    I am having issues with sending an iMessage to "Contact 1." Every time I send a message, it sends to "Contact 2." "Contact 1 can send me a text message, however the message is received in my convo with "Contact 2." I've tried restarting the phone, deleting contacts and deleting conversations. I've also tried sending a message as a text message to "Contact 1," but they don't receive it. Contact information is correct for both of them and my other messages work fine. Anyone have a fix for this?
    Thanks

    Also to add - When this issue first occurred, my text to "Contact 1" was sent as group message to "Contact 1" and "Contact 2." After deleting the convos with both of them is when I started having the above issue.

  • TS2755 Can't send messages to certain contacts

    I am having trouble sending messages to a few of my contacts. The message stops sending right before the end and I get a not delivered message.
    I have rebooted and reset the network settings and turned the  imessage icon off and on and still nothing helps.
    The only way to get the message to go through is to turn my cellular on and then they get the message like an email.
    Very frustrated. I have only had this phone a week and 1/2 and have had more issues than all the years I had my android phone.
    Help!?!?

    I suggest you first reset netowrk settings in your phone and if that does not work, reset the phone by holding the home and the power on button together some 10 or 15 seconds until the while apple appears, then wait for the phone to reset (you will not lose any data).  if all of this does not help, perhaps you should have a word with your carrier to make sure there are no issues with your texting plan.

  • My iPod isn't letting me send messages to a contact

    My iPod 4th generation isn't letting me send messages to a specific contact

    See:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
    Does that cntact have iOS 5 on their iPod, iPhone or iPad?
    Have they activated Messages on their device?
    Can then send you a Message?

  • Have not been able to send messages using my contacts

    Have not been able to send messages using my contacts

    And that's all that you can provide in the way of information?
    Are you trying to message with other iOS users that have already set up and registered to use Messages on their iOS devices or Mac computers running Mountain Lion or Mavericks?

  • I can't send messages to two contacts that I have entered into my iPad. The send button is greyed out?

    Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem please?

    First of all anybody that you want to message with has to have messages already set up on their devices and they have to be registered to use Messages on their own. You cannot add them, they actually have to add themselves to use Messages. Messages only works with other iOS devices as well. You cannot text with any other cell phone or smartphone.
    But if the contacts were not registered you would get a different message than a grey send button I think. Go to Settings>messages>Show Subject field. Make sure that Show Subject Field is set to OFF.

  • Imessage. Contacts registered. Can't send message to particular contact

    hey all,
    I just bought an ipod touch and have just got into it. I've managed to add a few contacts on imessage all have worked except the most important contact. The missus. Anyway shes currently overseas on a trip but her imessage is registered and has been communicating to others with it. I've ensured I've put in her right Apple ID numerous times yet it still says shes not registered when she is. I've also switched the touch on and off various times and it still has not resolved the issue. Every other contact I'm contacting with is fine except this particular one. Any suggestions? I'm a bit lost with all of this.

    Also to add - When this issue first occurred, my text to "Contact 1" was sent as group message to "Contact 1" and "Contact 2." After deleting the convos with both of them is when I started having the above issue.
