How can I receive a text message from an iPhone to my iPad instead of my android phone?

my friend has an iphone6 plus, I have an iPad Air.  I cannot receive messages from his iPhone to my iPad but he can send to my android phone. I do receive iMessages from other iphone 5 and 6plus users to my iPad.

If you are sending an iMessage rather than an SMS (normal text message) it uses your Data Plan not your Text Message allowance.

So, all of my iphone-using friends need to simply have a data plan, and set up imessages so the texts show up as blue, and I won't be charged additionally?
Correct.
The Blue iMessages use your Internet connection.
If you are away from a Wifi network it will use your Cellular Data Plan for the internet connection.
The Green Ones use your Text Messaging service.
Again If they have set up iMessages on their iPhones it will be sent through the internet.
All other Phones and iPhones that don't have iMessage set up, will use your Text Message Allowance known as SMS.

  • How can I retrieve deleted text messages from my iphone 5

    Somebody deleted a string of text messages from my iPhone 5 and I want to know if they can be retrieved and if so how? I'm new to the iPhone as this is my first apple product.  I am still not even sure on how to use my iTunes and so forth.  Please help as the string of messages was very important!! Thank you so very much!! Tracy

    SMS text messages are backed up with the iPhone - whether it's locally or to iCloud. If you've already written over the backup that had them (as in, backed up after the delete) then they're gone.
    If you still have a backup available from a time where you had the messages on your iPhone, all you have to do is erase the iPhone and restore from that backup.
    "Retrieve deleted messages from iPhone" is simple as pie.

  • HT4623 how can I transferr my text messages from my iphone 4 to my iphone 5 on itunes

    I have just purchased a new iphone 5 and I need to transferr my text messages to my laptop to store these records. Can I do this through Itunes?

    Here's the iPhone User Manual:
    iPhone User Guide (For iOS 6.1 Software)Jan 28, 2013 - 14 MB
    Sync your iPhone 4 using iTunes (which presumably you have been doing ever since you got the iPhone 4).  Then turn on your iPhone 5, and one of the options you will see after setting up a network connection is whether to set up as a new device or restore using a previous iPhone.  Follow the directions.

  • How can I recover deleted text messages from my iPhone 5 using my iphone 5

    I deleted some of my text messages and now I need them back.

    Did you back up the phone before deleting the messages?  If so, restore the backup.  If not, they're gone. 
    Don't trust web sites that claim to have software that recovers without a backup - they are scams and identity theft sites.

  • Can I forward my text messages from my iphone to my email automatically?

    can I forward my text messages from my iphone to my email automatically?

    If you mean the settings for iMessages where you can specifiy an email address other people with iMessage can reach you at, that has nothing to do with email. The iMessage still goes to the Messages app and there is no way to autoforward from that app.

  • TS3989 Only some of the photos I have taken on my iPhone appear in the photo stream on my iPad even thou they were taken at the same time. Why is this and how can I import the other photos from my iPhone to my iPad?

    Only some of the photos I have taken on my iPhone appear in the photo stream on my iPad even thou they were taken at the same time. Why is this and how can I import the other photos from my iPhone to my iPad?

    If older photos are missing it may be because photo stream photos are only held in iCloud for 30 days.  After that they are removed from iCloud but will remain (up to 1000 photos) on your device until deleted.  Also, only photos taken after enabling photo stream are added to your photo stream, and only when the camera is closed, your device is connected to wifi and you have at least 20% battery life remaining.
    To transfer the missing photos you can either create a shared photo stream containing them and invite yourself to it (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99), import the photos to your computer and sync them to your iPad, or use an app like PhotoSync to transfer them to your iPad over wifi.

  • I don't no much, but I can follow instructions. How can I get my rental movie from my iPhone to my iPad.... And I've rentented another movie, now I want to get it from pc to iPad....help be much appreciated...

    I don't know much, but I can follow instructions. How can I get my rental movie from my iPhone to my iPad.... And I've rented another movie, now I want to get it from pc to iPad....help be much appreciated...

    Did you rent the film directly on the iPhone ? I've never rented films, but from : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1415 :
    You can move the rental between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period. However, the movie can only be played on one device at a time. If you rent a movie on an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple TV, it is not transferable to any other device and you must watch it on that device.
    If you've rented a film on your computer's iTunes then you should be able to sync it to your iPad from your computer's iTunes via the Movies tab that shows on the right-hand side of iTunes when you've selected the iPad 'device' on its left-hand side

  • Why can't I recieve text messages from an iphone while I'm on a phone call

    When I'm on a phone call on my IPhone5s I can not receive text message from other IPhones. Why is this and is there a way that I can fix it. Nor can I send I messages or picture text.

    That is a limitation of 4g networks, you cannot use data and talk at the same time except for few networks (I think AT&T)
    Unless you have the new iPhone 6, which supports enhanced LTE which will allow talk and data over 4g networks.
    This problem exists with many other phones as well by the way.

    How can I extract a voice message on my iPhone 4S. It's become a legal battle, I need the capabilities to forward this voice message through email and other phones.
