From one contact, can receive imessage, can only send text.

My buddy has had a personal iphone for some time. All works well.  He got a work iphone today.  Added his contact.  When he texts me,it comes through as an iMessage perfectly.  When I reply to him it only goes as a text.  I send and received iMessages all day along.   Also he is able to iMessage his other contacts to and from without a problem.
What could this be?  I tried to reboot, turn imessage on and off, deleted the thread, created a separate contact for his work phone.
Help.
Thanks

Can I Copy and Paste text from one Contact to Another on iPhone 3G?
You will be able to do copy & paste when 3.0 comes out this summer.
Or even better while the iPhone is connected to my PC can I view the address book on the iPhone and make changes using my PC keyboard?
No. You would make changes to the address book on your PC and then sync via iTunes.

  • I can receive iMessage but not send from my ipad.  The send button is grayed out

    The send button in IMessage is grayed out.  I can receive messages but not send them.

    Most, if not all internet service providers block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network or not provided by the ISP being used for your internet connection at the time unless the SMTP server is authenticated.
    Who are you using as your internet service provider at the time?
    Does your ntlworld email account have an authenticated SMTP server.
    I believe Yahoo does for a Yahoo account.

  • I can receive iMessage but cannot send

    I can receive iMessages, but am unable to send.... Help!

    Back again.
    Apologies for the delay – it's taken this much time to get a new micro-sim! You were correct that a new sim solved the texting problem - I can now send texts. BUT, the original problem still stands: I go to Settings / FaceTime / Use Apple ID for FaceTime / Enter Apple ID...  I enter my correct password and get:  "FaceTime Activation. The user name or password for (...my email) was incorrect. Try again".
    The user name, by default, is my email and my password is the same one used to access this forum, iStore etc. so I know both are correct.
    I live in the UAE where FaceTime is banned, but my iPhone 4s is UK specs and has the FaceTime app. I use the same app on my MacBook Pro over broadband and iPad over wifi with no problems. Advice appreciated.

  • In a group I can receive iMessages, but only respond as a text. How can I fix this without deleting the thread?

    I had been sending group imessages in a thread earlier in the day on my iPhone 5 and later when I got my iPhone 6 I received an iMessage in the thread and sent an iMessage back, but when the other person responded it showed up as received from unknown. Once that happened I can still receive iMessages from the other two people in the thread, but I can only send a text back. If I send an iMessage individually to each person everything is fine and as it's always been. It's just the when I send a message in the group. I've tried signing out of iMessage and turning off iMessage and restarting my iPhone.  Nothing seems to work. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Hey kenth93939!
    Here is an article for you about group messages that has some helpful information and troubleshooting tips for this issue:
    iOS: Understanding group messaging
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5760
    The Group Messaging setting applies only to MMS messages.
    Your wireless carrier may restrict the maximum number of recipients allowed in a group message with MMS.
    Disabling Group Messaging has no effect on iMessage behavior. Responses to group iMessages are always sent to all recipients.
    Group messaging with MMS requires an appropriate plan from your carrier for use on iPhone.
    Carrier messaging rates may apply when using group messaging with MMS.
    Additional Information
    It is not possible to remove yourself from a group message.
    To add or remove recipients, you must create a new group message conversation.
    If you experience an issue with iMessage, SMS, or MMS messaging, try the steps outlined in this article.
    To learn more about SMS, MMS, and iMessage see iOS: Using Messages.
    Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!
    Cheers,
    Braden

    I just had the same problem, I've updated to 10.6.8 yesterday, and since then the browsing are very slow, no matter what broswer I am using, the upload download speed are still the same. But browsing just take forever, It takes for example google.com 30 seconds to load. I have Extream high speed internet connection, 3 other computers, and the only one is having this problem is the Mac after the update.
    Something in this update screwed my browsing capabitilties, I tried downloading Crome browser, same issue.
    I hope there is a way beside TimeMachine to revert the latest update. I don't want to reformat as I am sure as soon as I am going to do the update it will cause the same problem.

  • How can I copy some info from one contact to another?

    If I have, for example, 4 people who live in the same address, how can I get all the address fields from one contact and copy to the others?
    Tks

    You can duplicate an address card by copying and pasting.
    Select an address card in the Address Book window.
    Choose Edit > Copy, then choose Edit > Paste.
    Then edit the names and other details or set up the 4 cards and copy and paste each field as required

    It would be far easier to do this on your computer, rather than using your phone.

    I cannot receive texts from one contact after updating to the iOS7 system - why?

    amyhs, thanks for those details. This is certainly quite odd that this has been going on so long and we definitely want to get to the bottom of this. Now, you stated that you have reached out to technical support and spoke with a tier two technical support representative. At this time, what actions or troubleshooting steps were taken? Are you aware if a ticket with our network technicians was ever created? As well, have you ever previously had an iPhone and are you aware if the users that are unable to message you are using iMessage?

  • My phone (4S, iOS 6) will only send text messages instead of iMessage to one particular contact (iPhone 5). Why this? We are both able to iMessage all our other iOS 5 and 6 contacts!

    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.

    No, you can't. Your friend would have to do that. The fact that she has turned iMessage off should do this.

  • After upgrading to the new iOS7, I can't send out sms, I can receive sms, can make and receive call. I have already contacted my network provider, we changed sim card, I have tried to put my sim on other phone, and it's perfectly working. Help me pls

    To be honest not being able to send or recieve messages and data is a carrier issue, not a phone issue since u said that your calls are working, if i were you my first course of action would be to get a new sim card from virgin mobile, or to restore the device as new one more time, if you restore the device as new AND get a new sim card from your carrier and those features still dont work, i would take the device to an apple store

  • Imessage won't send texts/pictures, but can receive if send them to myself

    I can't find the answer to this:
    I have imessage on my iphone4s, but i can't send pictures to other imessage users. If I send them as SMS/MMS to another user, through the carrier, it works fine. I have tried sending the pictures to myself through imessage and I can receive them well.
    What I have tired:
    Having my brothers iphone next to me and making sure imessage works (blue text), he won't receive some of my texts and pictures.
    Turned off imessage and sent text (SMS) to my brother's iphone, he will recieve the message.
    Disabled Imessage and restarted my phone, reinabled imessage, tried again NO LUCK
    I sent text to myself on imessage, can receive and send, sent picture to myself on imessage, can send and recieve.
    sent picture to myself from my brothers iphone using imessage, can receive.
    My thoughts, seems like something got corrupted? Might have to restore my phone but wanted to see if anyone has had any better solutions.

    I have the exact same issue! I have tried compeltely restoring my iphone, turning off and on imessage different itunes accounts etc etc NOTHING will work. I am on the latest 5.1 and no luck whatsoever! Any help would be aprreciated thanks.
