How do I have text messages read to me automatically?

I have the new IPhone 4S with Siri.  I have figured just about everything out except for 1 thing.  I was under the impression that you could set it up so that incomming text messages are automatically dictated to you by Siri when they are received without any intervention.  First, is this possible?  Second, what are the steps to make this work?
For example, lets say my girlfriend sends me a text that says "How are you doing?"  Is there a way to set it so that the text is immediately read to me when it is received?

The video you remember seeing was of a blind woman who was using the accesibility feature "Voice Over" to have all notifications read to her.  As far as I know, you cannot set Siri to only read incoming text messages automatically but you can set the phone to read all incoming notifications.

    How can you recover text messages that have been deleted from an iphone?

    If the phone was backed up either to iCloud or iTunes on your computer BEFORE the texts were deleted, restoring the backup will restore the texts to your phone.  If they were not backed up, they're gone permanently.

  • How can I disable Text Messaging on my Iphone?

    How can I disable Text Messaging on my Iphone -- so I do not receive any texts. I do not have nor currently want an AT&T text plan, and I really don't want to be charged .20 for the text messages that will inevitably be sent my way from friends & coworkers who do not know I don't want texts.
    AT&T had a link only for blocking spam texts, but I don't think this will stop standard SMS texts.
    Anyone do this? Does this involve a call to AT&T. There must be a way to disable it, no?
    Thanks in advance!

    You would have to ask AT&T if they can turn off your text capabilities.

  • How do I forward text messages to my email?

    How do I forward text messages to my email? I watch my email inputs. It would be convenient to have announcements of text messages arrive via email. Oherwise I have to login to comcast every time I want to find out about text messages. Being of the text-message-illiterate generation, I get very few text messages. So checking for them is mostly futile. If they were forwarded to my email, I would not have to look in two different places.  

    After considerable poking around I found the right preferences page. I have forwarded ny text messages to my email !

  • Text Message Read Receipt

    Can someone tell me how to set up a text message read receipt on a Nokia 6030? So if I send someone a text I will get a text message back once they have received it. Thanks

    There are other codes that you can type at the beginning of the message if you want confirmation, I'm not sure of them all..
    02 = *0# (Star Zero Hash) No need to put a space after before your text
    Orange = RCT (not sure if you have to put a space after it)

  • Phone died. How do I retrieve text messages that were on phone?

    Phone died.  How do I retrieve text messages that were on phone.

    Unfortunately, unless you had them backed up and stored elsewhere (like on the SD card or your computer), they most likely aren't retrievable.
    Are you sure the phone is completely dead?  Have you tried holding the power and volume down buttons simultaneously for 15-20 seconds to see if that will reboot the phone?

    How do I retrieve text messages from a iPhone 4S that doesn't work anymore?

    If the phone isn't working, you can't.  If you have a backup on your computer, you may be able to extract them from the backup using 3rd party software such as iPhone Backup Extractor (see http://www.iphonebackupextractor.com).

    Hi,
    I believe the phone uses Android OS, v2.3.4 (Gingerbread) therefore you can use one of these applications:

  • How can I delete text messages from my iphone?

    Hello everyone,
    How can I delete text messages from my iphone?  I do not want to reset my iphone setting. If it is nesscary to reset my iphone setting, will I lose everything?
    Please let me know,
    Thanks,

    Just delete them. Or, do you mean beyond just deleting them? Then, you'd need to wipe the phone - select Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. That's a secure wipe of the iPhone contents, takes several hours (connect to AC power). You'll need to set your phone up from scratch (and erase the old backup(s) from your computer, since your SMS history is part of the backup).

  • How do i get text messaging through my macbook pro?

    how do i get text messaging through my macbook pro?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If you have an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch and you use iMessage, you can use it in your Mac if you want. OS X Mountain Lion includes Messages, that allows you to use iMessage.
    First, check that your computer is supported > http://www.apple.com/osx/specs If so, open  > About this Mac, and see what OS X version you have:
    10.5 or older: you have to upgrade first to Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    10.6 or 10.7: open  > Software Update, and install the most recent version. Then, open the App Store and purchase OS X Mountain Lion.
    10.8: you are already using OS X Mountain Lion, so open the Messages app.
    While OS X Mountain Lion is being downloaded, make a backup of your files and check that your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com
    If you aren't referring to iMessage, you can't send text messages in your computer
