Group messaging issue with messages being sent to email rather than mobile

Hi,
I have an iPhone 4s running iOS 6.0.1. I tried to send out a large group message today by opening up messages and clicking on the + button (top right corner) and selecting a number of recipients one by one in the list.
What I noticed was that when selecting some contacts, I was prompted for a delivery address while other contacts were automatically selected and I couldn't change the delivery path. Unfortunately the phone was automatically sending the messages to the recipients email rather than their mobile phone (I checked my mobile usage records). I couldn't select the recipient in the list and change the delivery method either... I also noticed that the message would change from an sms to mms message automatically because the iphone was automatically choosing an email address to send to. This is really annoying!!! Does anyone know a work around?
I tried disabling mms messaging in settings-messaging but I would get an error saying:
Cannot Send Message: MMS Messaging needs to be enabled to send to an email address
This is incredibly frustrating. Why doesn't the iphone allow you to select the delivery address for each contact rather than automatically selecting an email address? I thought the iphone would be smart enough to select their mobile number since it is a mobile messaging device...
Any ideas?

Is there a solution to this issue?

  • Why are my messages being sent through email rather than iMessage?

    Why are my messages being sent as email rather than iMessage?

    Not being sent as email - shown as being sent from an email address because you have selected to start new iMessage conversations from your Apple ID email address on your iPhone.
    When registering an iPhone with iMessage, the phone number along with your Apple ID email address is registered with it.
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Start New Conversations From - select your iPhone's phone number.

  • When I send a text message, the iPhone 4s sends it via email rather than to the mobile phone number I wish to message.  How do I change that default?

    My wife (who has a Droid) asked me to text a photo to her.  I went to Message on my 4s, selected my wife as the target for the text, selected the photo, and sent the text.  Rather than appearing on her mobile phone, the text went to her email.  When I selected my wife as the person I wanted to text, I was not given any choice of the target phone number or email address...it just defaulted to her email and did not tell me that is what it was doing!  I did find a solution, but it's more complicated.  I have to go to Contacts, select my wife, and then I'm given a choice of how I want to send the Message.  Why doesn't the iPhone do this in Messages in the first place?

    I am not sure what you mean.
    Do you mean the From field?
    You can change it by tapping it, it will give you options based on the other email accounts set up.
    You can set a default account here:
    Sttings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > scroll down to the Mail section & you will see Default Account. You can change that to your gmail account.

  • Your Emitac Mobile Solutions LLC email service is deactivated, Email messages are no longer being sent to your Blackberry device

    Hi 
    I just got this message yesterday: Your Emitac Mobile Solutions LLC email service is deactivated, Email messages are no longer being sent to your Blackberry device. 
    And since then, i havent being able to set up more than one email and i subscribed for 4. 
    I have rebooted\,, sent service books and hard set the phone so many times.
    What should i do?
    Thank you

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    From your post, I cannot quite tell if you did all of this, in exactly this way. Hence, with a strong carrier network signal (e.g., not merely WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
    1) Register HRT
    KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
    Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app
    2) Delete and Resend Service Books
    KB05000Delete the service book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account from the BlackBerry smartphone
    If you have no CMIME entry, then skip the deletion
    KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
    Please wait for "Activation" Messages, one per already configured email account, to arrive in your Messages. If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.
    3) Reboot
    With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.
    See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should try deleting and re-adding your configurations for the affected email accounts. Otherwise, you should contact your mobile service provider for formal support.
    Good luck!

  • Issue with Message Type Triggering during Inbound Delivery Creation

    Hi Experts,
    Hi Experts, 
    Currently we are facing issue with message type triggering during inbound delivery creation:
    In NACE transaction for Inbound delivery we have 3 custom output types:
    Pricing Procedure Used is standard one -> E10001
    Z140  Inbound Delivery Create  (This should get triggered when IB delivery is created)
    Z141  Inbound Delivery Change (This should get triggered when IB Delivery is changed)
    Z142  Inbound Delivery Delete(This should get triggered when IB Delivery is deleted).
    At present if i check delivery in  VL33 -> Extras -> Delivery Output
    Both  Z140 and Z141 are being triggered during IB delivery creation. While it should be only Z140.
    Could you please suggest that are we missing any configuration in SPRO or we need to create any custom routine (requirement) to handle this?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    There is no fine-tuned control for inbound delivery messages as for Purchase order. Hence I guess to meet your above requirement, you have to go for a custom solution similar to the PO fine tune control settings.
    Thanks,

    At one point of time, Database is not able to provide connection for coreDataSource. After that shop is trying to get connection from JNDI coreDataSource_shop, which is not available in weblogic.

  • Issue with services being published in SR

    Hi Experts,
    We have an issue with services being published in SR
    1.       Service is created and published from ECC to Service registry
    2.       End points are created in Soa manager
    But the service state is shown as u2018Modelledu2019 instead of u2018Configured u2019 in SR
    Thanks,
    Sowmya.

    Hi Sowmya,
    If you want it to appear in the SR as 'Configured', change your procedure to as follows:
    - Create Service in ECC
    - Configure endpoints in SOAMANAGER
    - Then Publish Endpoint binding URL (as it appears in SOAMANAGER) in SR. You can do this Publishing in SOAMANAGER as well. The idea to configure the endpoint before publishing to get the 'Configured' state.
    Some additional reading:

    My txt message settings recently changed to send txts from my Mac email rather than my phone# and there doesn't seem to be a way to change the settings back. The phone# in receive at screen is under intensified so unselectable. Any suggestions?

    After reading what you have posted, I checked my iPhone 4S. When looking at messages in settings, my receive at has 2 addresses, my phone number and my Apple ID email address. The phone number is "under intensified" as you describe it. Checking the Caller ID, it shows my phone number and Apple ID email. The phone number is checked. This all seems to be the same as you describe yours. My text messages are all working as they always have, and they are showing as coming from my phone number. Both to people that I iMessage with and people that I can only text with. I'm not sure why you say texts are being sent from your Mac email. Did someone receive a text that shows the email as the return address?

    I can tell you that with Sprint their coverage area isn't as good as Verizon or AT&T.
    Are you sending these imessage while on wifi or cellular data?  Also your husband would need to be in a good coverage area.
    Usually when imessage is unavailable it will send it as a text.  Does your husband receive your imessage as a text?

    Hi there,
    Why dont you just change your Apple ID (your email)? Make a new Apple ID and do the security questions that you will remember. Also, make sure you write down all the info with your Apple ID for later refrence.
    To create a new Apple ID, follow the easy steps below:
    Settings > Itunes and App stores > Tap "Apple ID: (YOUR APPLE ID IS HERE!)" > Tap "Sign Out" > Tap "Create New Aple ID"

  • Is there no way to share folders with the rest of the Team, rather than file by file, link by link

    Is there no way to share folders with the rest of the Team, rather than file by file, link by link, potentially hundreds of links for a folder containing graphics, html, css, etc for a web project?
    Not quite sure what's the advantage of a team account - just seems like a bulk purchase of single accounts. As a team working in the cloud I'd expect to be able to collaborate on projects not a single file.

    Folder sharing is not currently available.
    The advantage of a Team account is not bulk purchase but being able to assign and remove Seats as needed by an Administrator who handles billing. With an Individual subscription the payment information is attached to each the individual.

  • Issues with Message

    Yesterday I did an upgrade from ML to Mavericks. Mostly it seems to have gone OK.
    I do notice a few minor glithces in Messages.
    After the install finished, I was able to get into Messages using my normal AIM account without issue. I also set up Messages to use my iCloud account.  Today when I logged into the Mac, I was unable to get my AIM account to connect. I fooled around with it and eventually it connected OK.   Here are my issues:
    1. All of the buddy icons on the conversations in my Messages windows are gone, replaced by generic head shot.
    2. For one person, I IM'd yesterday, I now have two contact listsing in Messages.  I assume that one is for the AIM account and one is for the iCloud account. A little disconcerting, but understandable.
    3. It seems that all of my conversations are gone. Not cirtical, but I do occasinally refer back to them and I no longer find the AIM conversation stream available.
    Thanx for any help with this.

    HI,
    Re 3 first.
    You should be able to double click the Archived Chat.
    This is likely to add it to the List on the left of the Main Window but also display it as a separate Chat in it's own window.
    Re 2.
    As I said the two items in the View menu used to effect the Buddy List(s) or the Chat windows completely separately.
    In View Menu > Messages the changing to Handle also changes the Buddy List Display to Handles rather than the Setting in the Buddies that says Full Names (as pulled from the Address Cards/Contacts app).
    The View Menu Buddies can only be changed when a Buddy list is "Front"
    If you have a Buddy List as the Front window and use View Menu > Buddies to use Short Name  then the Chat window will lose all form of Names and only display the Buddy pic.
    Re 1.
    What you see from your Contacts in iMessages will depend on whether they are using the Pic from their Address Card and if that is syncing to the iPhones Contacts list.
    It works like this:-
    When you set up the Mac the first Account is the Admin account and you are asked to select a Login Pic.
    (the various balls, lightening bolt, sand garden and so on).
    As you proceed you are asked from an Email address and other info about yourself such as your Name and Address.
    This creates the My Card in the Contacts app (formerly the Address Book).
    The default is to  pull the Login Pic to be the pic.
    If at this point you create a Buddy list of any sort such as Enabling the Bonjour account then this then takes the same pic.
    You have an AIM account and it is this Account that is primarily changed by the Messages Menu > Change my Picture.
    It will change the pic for other Buddy Lists.
    If a Buddy List is on Display then it will also be the Pic for the iMessages account from the Mac.
    If you don't have a Buddy list or do not Enable the Bonjour one then the iMessages account tends not to send a Pic with your iMessages.
    If your Buddies have changed their AIM pic but that is different to their Address Card then your will see two different pics.
    Even more so if they use iCloud to sync the  Contacts app on the Mac and the iPhone as this will give the iPhone the Address Card Pic.
    As seen from your end (but using my pic)
    When you actually chat from  your Mac to the iPhone the Sync process does duplicate the messages sent.
    I send from my Apple ID On the Mac.
    But specifically sending to the iPhone Numbe r and then repying from that number will show both pics
    In it's default state the AIM Buddy list will override the Address Card of your Buddy and will display what they are currently using.
    So as I happen to be a Buddy using my Main AIM name in other Buddy lists I can highlight and CMD + i (Get Info) and see the Info card
    The hidden email may or may not be their Apple ID (in my case it is.)
    The phone numbers may be Land Lines or iPhone or other Mobile/Cell numbers.
    The Check box allows you to override what the Buddy is sending.
    iMessages will tend to pull this Pic (See pic above)  but AIM will show what is being sent over AIM.
    So you may see two pics even in the same chat like the pic above fro the same person depending if they are a  Contact (iMessages) or a Buddy (AIM or other) at the time the text involved is sent.
    Also, I looked at the path you gave and I do see a pictures folder, but there's nothing in there except a .plist file.
    This certainly used to be the place.
    I must admit to not checking the new Containers layout to see if there was a new place.
    I just checked the Cache file again and all the pics are refreshed with today's date
    The exceptions are pics I have used as alternatives  when testing
    The .plist in there was also updated.
    I am not sure why your AIM Buddy pics are not ending up there (although it could be to do with the Buddy list not actually being on show).

  • HT3529 Issue with messaging and icloud after ios7.1 update. Need Help!!!

    My husband and I have been having problems with our iphone 5c since the ios7.1 update. We can't seem to send messages to each other now without incurring data charges, because our icloud messaging seems to have both phones synced to my itunes account. I have tried logging into itunes under each of our user id and syncing our respective phones to them, but it is not working. Any Ideas on what to do to fix this?
    When we updated last week on Friday, we had other problems with loss of ringtones, no calls coming through do to the do not disturb feature being fully enabled and no alert to incoming calls while phone is locked. Spent a good hour on the phone with support and didn't resolve, tried resetting, rebooting etc. We ended up in an apple store on Saturday, where the guy got the ringtones, etc. working, but disabled our messaging and when tryng to sign back in, we found both phones linked to my itunes account. Since then, having problems with messaging... At a loss as to what to do now.

    Thanks. We did do all of that, and still kept having problems. I finally figured it out about 5 minutes after I posted. After signing each phone into respective itunes accounts and setting up all of the messaging features to sign into the same, I had to disable the "send as sms" feature inside messaging. Once I was able to force routing text messages addressed to his phone back through imessage from turning this off, my phone finally recognized his imessage seperate account and let the message go through properly. After a couple of tests, then I enabled the "send as sms" again, and it seems to be working fine.
    This update has really been a pain, caused us several issues this go around.
