How can i switch from a regular text message to iMessage for a contact

I had this contact we used iMessage but since 2 days ago it went back to regular text message, how I can put back to iMessage?

The contact and you will use iMessage - if it's available.  One of you may not be on WiFi or using a cellular carrier that supports iMessage.  Presumably neither of you turned off Settings > Messages > iMessage.

  • How to switch from text message to iMessage for 1 contact

    I have one friend with an iPhone who all of the sudden in my messaging has switched from iMessage to text messages with working WiFi on and stable, on my iPhone 5 (iOS 7.1.2).  This is not a cellular or wifi issues, I guarantee, I am iMessaging other people without problem. She is also iMessaging other people without problem.
    I have tried all work arounds I've seen on the web including:
    -turning iMessage on and off, turning the phone on and off
    -deleting all conversation with her and then sending a new message
    -labeling the contact as an "iPhone" on my iPad (doesn't seem to switch label to  "iPhone" and "iPhone" is no longer available as a label on iPhone)
    -sending an iMessage on my iPad to her and then trying to use same message stream on the iPhone
    This is beyond ridiculous that there is no way to switch from text to iMessage, I know how to switch from iMessage to text when the "error" comes up that it can't be sent as in iMessage.  Any ideas?

    You didn't mention trying these two steps:
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and recreate the contact in the Contacts app. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
    Back up and restore your device as new.

    Check the status again.

  • HT201320 How can I switch from one email user to another?

    How can I switch from one email account to another?

    You have to select between the two accounts in the mail app.
    Say for instance that you are reading an email in your XYZ email account. Tap the button in the upper left corner of the mail app to back out all the way to where you can see all of the email accounts.... Tap InBox, then tap XYZ email Account and that will take you back to the main MailBoxes window.
    Is that what you want to know? There is no way to simply "toggle" between the two accounts.

  • How can I disable e-mail and text messages when I'm close to or over my data quota ?

    How can I disable e-mail and text messages when I'm close to or over my data quota ?
    Is this possible? I don't see any options?
    All I see is this:
      Receive confirmations of many account transactions via Email and/or free Text Alerts delivered right to your cell phone. You can receive these confirmations for  
       transactions done online, over the phone or from your handset. Account management Text Alerts do not count against any Messaging allowances.
          Your bill is ready for review.
         Payment Confirmations: Your payment has been  received    Your credit/adjustment     has been applied.1
         Account Activity Confirmations     Plan changes     Feature changes1

    What phone?
    You would need to disable data on the phone itself.  You wouldn't do it online on your account.
    Note also that text messages do not count toward your data allowance.

  • HT3529 How can I retrieve a train of text messages back to October 1, 2013, that I deleted?

    How can I retrieve a train of text messages back to October 1, 2013, that I have deleted?

    For text messages that were transmitted through your cellular connection, you must contact your wireless carrier.  For iMessage texts that you have deleted, your decision at that time was final.

  • Why can't i send a single text message to more than 10 contacts??

    That's a built in limitation of iOS. If you need to send messages to larger groups of people, you'll either need to send them in  batches of 10 or use a dedicated group messaging app. GroupMe works pretty well. Blackberry Messenger is also an option, though I don't like the interface as much.

    When in the mail app,you can have all inboxes displayed together (unified inbox) or you can tap the "Mailboxes" arrow in the upper left and select which one you want.

  • How can I switch from photos saved as MPEG4 in a slideshow to individual JPEG photos?

    When I imported pictures from my camera, I inadvertantly saved them as a slideshow.  In order to be able to burn these to a CD that will play on a DVD player or Windows computer, it seems the pictures need to be saved as individual JPEGs, not MPEG4.  How can I change the format, or switch the view?

    An mpg4 is a movie, you can't break that apart to individual frames, I'm afriad. However, I do not believe this is correct:
    In order to be able to burn these to a CD that will play on a DVD player or Windows computer, it seems the pictures need to be saved as individual JPEGs
    To play on a DVD player you need to use an application that can author such a disk. iDVD if you have it, or Toast. Search on MacUpdate

  • How can i get back a deleted text message

    how can i get back a very important text message i deleted by mistake.my phone is iphone 3g
    thank you

    I'm going to post what I found via Google. As I understand, it works for some, not for others, so I'm not vouching for this, so do it at your own risk:
    FACT: SMS messages remain on the iPhone after deletion. When “deleted” on the iPhone, they are technically hidden and marked for deletion. Text messages are then deleted only after sync with iTunes.
    In order to recover a deleted text message or messages, run through the following 4 easy steps:
    STEP 1:
    Make sure iTunes doesn’t automatically sync with iPhone when connected.
    STEP 2:
    Connect your iPhone to iTunes and Back up by selecting Preferences > Backup from iTunes, or right-click on your iPhone and choose back up.
    STEP 3:
    Restore your iPhone by selecting Restore under Preferences. Note that restoring the iPhone will restore the previous iPhone firmware. Your iPhone will be completely erased after the new firmware is installed. So make sure your back up is good!
    STEP 4:
    The final step will be to restore your iPhone from the back up you created on step 2. This will allow you to restore any data you have backed up, including the “deleted” text messages.
    That’s it!
    It’s important to distinguish between iPhone data restore and iPhone firmware restore.
    iPhone data restore allows you to restore data you have already backup on iTunes. This is your photos, video, text messages…etc.
    iPhone firmware restore is pretty much like a restore to factory switch. This will restore your iPhone to the previous firmware or system and no user data. This option is often recommended if your suspect that your iPhone OS or iOS is unstable.

  • LG Lucid 3: How can I get rid of the text message indicator? It says I have a text message, but I do not.

    I have a new LG Lucid 3 and the text message indicator says I have a new message, but I do not. Messaging is empty when I click on it. How can I get rid of the "1" indicator? I tried turning the phone on and off and that did not work.

    Thanks for trying, Anzivina! You've done some strong troubleshooting. Although I do wish it had resolved this matter, I believe we still have options. You've indicated that  you've done a factory reset. Can you walk me through the steps you took to get there? Also, after the factory reset, how long before this message indicator appeared again? Was it before or after you restored all your personal data?

  • How can i get records of all text messages

    How do you get records of all your texts? Everyone tells me to go to text usage for my number but it does not show up. Any ideas? I need them like now

        Hey there Amanda_x,
    I've heard your cry for help and I am here to assist. Are you looking just for the numbers that you've texted and received texts from? Or are you looking for the actual text message conversation?
    If you are just looking for the numbers that you've texted and received texts from you can retreive that information through My Verizon. Once you are signed in as the account owner you would click on "view my usage" under Manage My Account. From there you can click on Breakdown of Recent Activity and from there you can view the messaging log for your line.
    If you are looking for previous text messages that may have been deleted. That cannot be retreived through My Verizon.
    Verizon Wireless is only able to provide an average of the last 3-5 days of content, but never more than ten days from the date and time the message is delivered.  Only messages that are received may be available. We also must receive a message with your consent and have it notarized and submitted by an attorney or law enforcement official.  You can have those documents faxed to (847) 706-7276.
    Let me know if you have any additional questions.
