How do i send a sms though iMessage

.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You cannot use iMessage for OS X to send SMS. This feature is only available for iPhones.
Instead, you can send iMessages to other iPhones, iPads and iPods touch, or add a Google Talk, Jabber, AIM or Yahoo account. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5395

    Turn Group Messaging (instructions in lin that follows) off and send the message to multiple recipients. The result may be dependent on your carrier. If manually keying in numbers rather than using contacts, use the return key after each number. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5760

    No, only Messages to other devices with the Apple Messages app. With Continuity the Mac sends the SMS to the phone via wifi/BT and the phone actually sends it.

  • How do I send a SMS rather than a iMessage message?

    I want to send a SMS message to my mothers phone (thats not a iPhone) from my iPhone. I have my mothers e-mail and Phone number in my contacts for her. So I hit messages and select my mothers name and then type my message. Tap send, then it says delivered. Everything hunkie doorie, au contraire. The message is sent to my mothers iPod not her phone. I still what to keep the e-mail so I can face time her iPod but I still want to text her on her phone. How can I send a message as a SMS rarther than a iMessage message?
    Thanks.

    You might try removing your mother's email address from her contact info on your phone. If that works you could set up a different contact (misspelled or somehow different) for her email to use with facetime. I used to do this all the time to more efficiently separate home/work/cell numbers. This might be a sloppy work around, but it might work until there are different options in the settings. This is just an idea. I really have no clue if it will work. Good luck.

  • Ios 8 how to switch back from sms to imessage

    One of my messages did not deliver, so I clicked "Send as SMS". But now I can not go back to iMessage anymore.
    Any suggestions…
    I did file already a Bug Report.
    enjoy

    I have the the same problem in reverse, iMessage sends (and reports delivered) to my daughters iPhone, the problem is that she never gets it because her data is turned off and she is not connected to wifi. I try to click the message and get it to "Send as text message" but iMessage says "delivered" when in fact it has not.  I can bypass that by turning off iMessage, but then, people sending me iMessages get the same "delivered" when it is in fact not.  So mine seems to be stuck in iMessage even when it is unavailable.

  • Feature Request: Manually Send as SMS when iMessage is unavailable, or use better logic when choosing

    I understand that when I send an iMessage to a contact from the messages app, it will send a text message eventually if the contact has no data service or wifi available. The problem I have with this is the timeliness. It can take anywhere from 20 seconds to 5 minutes to finally "realize" that contact has no data service and this delay is unacceptable for time sensitive messages.
    I also understand that the messages app will send subsequent messages as text messages/sms because it already knows that the contact currently does not data. But... after a period of inactivity (of about 30 min?) the app defaults back to iMessage for that contact again, and if they still have no data when you send another message, it has to once again go through the process of "realizing" that they have no data/wifi connection. Even if I use the "send as text message" option by holding down on the undelivered iMessage, the app still won't send subsequent messages as text/sms until it goes through the process of "realizing" there's no data connection on their end.
    A large number of people that I communicate with in the messages app have sporadic data access because they have no cellular data plan and they can only use iMessage when they're in a location that has wifi... and so if a message is taking a while to deliver, 90% of the time it's because they don't have data or wifi and it ends up sending as text message a few minutes later. What I'd like to do is speed this process up and this could be done two ways:
    The Messages app should know that if I use the "send as text message" option on an iMessage that hasn't yet been delievered, it should send the next message as a text message/sms as well.
    If I receive an SMS from a contact (who has iMessage only sometimes), it should default that I send an SMS back, instead of trying to iMessage first.
    I don't want to simply "turn imessage off" and opt for only sms because then I can't have the benefits of iMessage with anyone of my other iMessage contact! (status visibility for messages - delivered, read, typing... etc.)
    Apple, please put the "instant" back in "instant messaging!

    I don't know why you posted this to a user-to-user technical support forum that Apple does not read or respond in. You might try http://apple.com/feedback. That won't respond either, but at least Apple will read it.

  • How do you send a file through iMessages

    On my mac I can drag a file over to imessages, I can even download it on another id on the mac. I have tried to send the same file to my iphone and ipad and nada.
    Yet, I have no problem with pictures.
    How do you send files through iMessage to your ipad?

    Yes, that works from mac to mac. That is a wonderful feature.
    I did find Apple's list of supported files and it is not complete. It did not list PDF as a supported file so I suspect there are others. I am afraid that epub and some others that would make life easier are not supported at this time. I did find reference to where the file i on the ipad but you have to jailbreak your iphone and/or ipad to do that and I am not interested in doing that.

  • How do I send an SMS message to someone with an Apple ID who uses an Android phone?

    My colleague has an iPad and MBP registered using their AppleID.  But they use an Android Phone.  I'm trying to send an SMS to them using Messages on my iPhone (iOS8).  The message gets sent to their iPad but not their phone.
