Green 'Send' button in messages?

Why is the send button for text messages now green on my iphone 4? Other phones on our plan updated to iOS 5 are still blue. Is there a setting I am missing? Thanks in advance.

A green button means that the message is being sent using SMS or MMS.
A blue button means the message is being sent directly to the device using iMessage.
Have you supplied your Apple ID in Settings->Messages and enabled iMessage?

The send button in messages stays down

I am unable to use messages anymore as the send button stays down. I have checked for updates and reset messages a few times but to no availe.
The people I message have received in the past but now. I can receive but not send.

Another poster had the same problem recently but with no replies.
The only other thing that I can suggest short of a restore is to switch Messages off (Settings, Messages, iMessage Off) do the Reset (as above) again, and then switch iMessage back on again.

My send button on messaging isn't working any help out there?

My send button isn't working, any help?

Hello monti221! Nothing is more frustrating than a phone that's not operating correctly. I want to help! Thank you gina7239 for your valuable input. My suggestion would be to complete a "restore" of your device. Using iTunes will ensure that all of your data is saved.

Hi All - I sent an sms using my iphone 5 - It is PAYG and had no money in it. (stupidly)
It tried to send as an SMS but gave the 'green button reject message'.(no money)
Step 2 in this stupidity - the phone keeps trying to send the deleted text via SMS and wont stop notifying me of this. Totally ruining the functionallity of my phone, and more so totally annoying. All I want to do is stop the constant re-trying of sending the deleted SMS.
Any ideas?
Many Thanks!

Hi, many thanks for your help - Pressing and holding sleep/reset hasn't worked, the msg is still continually reporting it is failing to send. I can restore to a previous version however I'll lose my paid apps. Is there any way to work around this. I'm only concerned about one app - Epocam HD which I purchased last month. My last backup on PC is 4 March 13 - before I bought the paid app - Itunes advises me I'll have to re-pay to get my apps (app) back. Even though it advises that icloud backed up this morning at 1:30 am (which although it is before the text, I cannot manually select this restore).
What a mess!

Delete the account, then re install it on the device. You will need to get the passwords exactly right., and there are some other settings that matter, such as send and receive server names, and sometimes a specific port. If you are not sure, check on the web for ' email settings' for your particular provider. What probably happened is that when you changed your password, some other setting got tweaked.

Hi,
It may pay to send a Screen Shot of the Connection Doctor info. (see the Window Menu)
It would seem the IMAP or POP side is logged in bit the out going STMP server is not.

I've lost the "Send" button in my reply window. When I double click on a Mail message, on order to reply, the "Send" button at the top of the window is missing. I can reply by closing and saving my reply, and re-openning from Drafts. How to fix?

Hi, try this...
If nothing is showing in the Toolbar at top, click the little gray oval at top right.
Right click or Control+click on the Toolbar, choose Customize Toolbar, drag the Send button to the Toolbar.

No send button when trying to send a direct message on twitter

I have an ipad mini and every time i want to reply to a dm, i cannot see what i am writing or even send the message. Please help!!

Hi Amy,
Not sure if you've solved this yet...but...hopefully you've got a split keyboard enabled on your ipad mini? If so this hides the "send" button if you go to settings > general > keyboard > then slide off the split keyboard.
Hope this helps and resolves the issue for you.
Best Wishes
Steve

During audio messaging the send button does not switch to a microphone after selecting a contact

Actually, this problem is the same as the one described in your other thread, and should be fixed as well after following the procedure described there.

When I attempt to send a message the app quits immediately as I hit the send button.

When I attempt to send a message the app quits immediately as I hit the send button. iMessage also doesn't work. I have tried restoring it and that has failed.

You mentioned that you tried restoring....have you restored your phone as a NEW device (NOT using your backup)?
Restore your device as NEW. DO NOT add any apps other than those included with iOS 5. Try sending messages. If your phone works, then add your apps back. If not, then you have a hardware failure and you'll have to bring your phone to Apple for evaluation.

Send button not working when text message

When I was texting message with my friends, all of sudden I can't type the respond message unless I have to quit and try to text my friend again. The problem is the box where you typed your message is gray out and "Send" button is inactive or gray out. This problem occurs when I upgraded my iphone 4s to iOS 6.1
Please help.

After Update today, SEND button no longer activates keyboard. I tapped message window area and that activated the keyboard. SEND button worked to send message. (Not sure how to describe that "message window area", but its the area where your message shows as you type.)

Stick with one post at a time. Otherwise, it gets very confusing.
