Failed to send text and text message color?
Hey Guys, well yesterday I got my Iphone 4 and activated it earlier today with a T-Mobile micro sim card and after I entered in all of my contacts , I tried to send a text to my friend but it failed and it noticed that when tried to send it the text color was green then i sent another text to a different friend and this time it was blue. My brother told it that the blue text good for iphone users while green was good for anything other than iphone. I turned off "enable 3g" and cellular data and I turned on mms messaging, "send as SMS'', and group messaging and I tried again to send the text to the green user but it failed to send again. Can Iphone users send texts to android, etc. users?
Yes, you can send texts to Android, etc. They will all be green as you say above. But text messages are at the discretion of your cellular carrier. You have to have a plan in place with them to send/receive (green) text messages.

My wife and I both have iPhone 5s, I can't send text messages to non iPhone people that I use to but iPhone people I can, My wife can send text to non iPhone numbers. I have checked and we both have the same settings. Both of our phones are up to date 7.0.4.

I just bought an new ipad mini with wifi and cellular. Is there any way to send text messages to people and contacts that do not have iphones such as friends with blackberrys or a samsung galaxy smartphone from this ipad. Everytime I try to send a message to a person that does not have an Apple product ( Iphone or Ipad ) it comes up saying contact is not registered for iMessage and wont send it. I can only send them a message from my iPhone 4 instead. Do I have to install a new App from the App store to send these non iMessage cell users a message?

After I upgraded my Iphone 4 with the ios 7.1.1 it locks up while sending text messages. I can usually send a few then will have to restart my phone(often more than once) to get it to send and receive messages again. I have done a back up and complete reset and that has not fixed the problem. Have been told that the ios 7.1.1 just isn't compatible with the Iphone 4 so that's why it is locking up so often, but I am hoping someone else may have a better answer since it can't be undone. Thanks!
7.1.1 is certainly compatible with the iPhone 4. Just try a reset first.
Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss) -

Is it possible to use Siri to send text messages to groups (categories, distribution lists)? I want to be able to say to Siri "Send a text message to the people in 'group 4' category." I then dictate the text message, confirm, and out it goes. Groups of 100 to 250 contacts. What app(s), if any, would I need? Is this in anyway dependent on my carrier?
Thanks in advance for your help.Hmmm, that's strange - just checked again and it is 1066288.
Note 1066288 - ESS LEA:Workitem XXXX cannot be executed in status COMPLETED
Perhaps you can't see it because it is a "Pilot Release"?

We also tried to deactivate and activate iMessage in "Settings", but still it will only send text messages.. We have tried within wifi-areas as well.

Is there some way to remove her from my 'iMessage contacts list' (i.e. Not have the little blue iMessage bubble beside her phone number when I try to compose a new message to her)?
No, you can't. Your friend would have to do that. The fact that she has turned iMessage off should do this. -
I have an Iphone 3gs and cannot send text messages to my wife. She is the only person that I cannot send or receive text messages from. Does anyone know how to correct this?
We both have AT&T service. She has an Iphone 4s, I have the 3gs.

New iPad3 and it's not letting me send text messages.....the "send" button is not high lighted....
New iPad3 and it's not letting me send text messages.....the "send" button is not high lighted....
I've already tried everything listed in these links.
I've also resync'd email accounts via iTunes between my Air and iPad3.
Messaging works OK on all my other devices using the same account settings.
Problem started around May25th.
(and yes, I already posted back then under a different ID with no resolution).
There has to be a simple solution.
I'm presuming some sort of conflict with iCloud, but not sure.
Any other ideas? -
I am having trouble sending text messages. They aren't always going through. And sometimes I'm not receiving text messages. I also have voicemails that I didn't receive until late at night that were left early in the day. I need to resolve this issue ASAP!
julie@remax,
I know that this would concern me just the same and we want to make sure that your device is connected and receiving these notifications when available. How long have you been having this issue? Are you receiving a specific error message when sending a message? Are you aware if this happens in one location specifically or everywhere you go? Does the issue with messaging occur with all numbers? Share some details, so that we may assist.

My blackberry curve wont let me receive or send text messages
This very strange JulianPrice! When did this messaging issue start? Are you able to send /receive message to any contact? Is this issue with SMS only or MMS as well? What messaging application do you use? What is your current ZIP code? Do you have the latest available software for your phone? Please answer these questions and we'll explore options to resolve.

I am having a hard time sending text messages and picture mail even thought I have good signal
I am having a hard time getting my phone to send text messages and pictures sometimes even thought I have a good signal. If someone could tell me if they have had this problem and how they resolved it I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

When I text anyone who don't use Apple devices I have to resend the message two or three times it goes through. I have an iPhone 5c running on iOS 8.0.2 if that helps figure anything out. Thank you.
SMS is a carrier function. If you're having trouble with sending them, you should start by contacting your carrier.
Best of luck. -
Please help me. I just got my iphone 4 last february and it was working just fine. But recently, i am having problems with its phone features such as text messaging and call. Most of he times i have a full network signal yet i cannot receive or make a call, receive or send text messages. I have also observed that everytime i am in a wifi zone where its signal strenght is high, this problem always exists. There seems to be no problem with its other features...please help me anyone.
Wi-Fi has nothing to do with making/receiving calls, or sending/receiving text messages... those features only work over the cellular network.
Have you contacted the carrier to rule out network issues or swap out the SIM card to eliminate that as a possibility?
What about Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings? -
How do I set up the iPhone 5 so that I can receive iMessage (incoming messages) and send text messages (outgoing) every time? I have limited internet quota but unlimited sms!
Thanks!!
The reason I don't want to set it off is because I want to let others send me iMessage - most people prefer that according to their plan.
How do I bring this request to the hands of the people doing the ios updates? Maybe they could work on this for the future...
