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.

Hello Dannyswain39,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:

To use Messages with SMS and MMS, you need an iPhone.
Best of luck,
Mario

    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and make sure only the phone number is checked.

  • How can I send an SMS message to a group?

    I cannot seem to figure out how to add a second recipient to the SMS message. I routinely beep out messages to the 5 people I work with, I'd hate to send it out to each separately.

    At this time, multiple recipient SMS messaging is not supported on the iPhone.

  • 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 send a pages doc. to someone with a PC(word) so that they can open it?

    How can I either change my Pages document into a Word document, Or send it to someone with a PC/Word so that they can open and read it? (My email is gmail).

    Lois,
    If you have used any fancy Pages features, they will be lost in translation to Word. In that case, Export or Print to PDF and send the PDF.

  • How do I send a private message to someone who has posted a previous question or answer?

    I have a similar question to one which was posted earlier and I would like to contact the person who asked this question, to see if the advice received helped sort out his problem

    Unfortunately, our current system doesn't have private messaging functionality.
    If the thread was recent, the person you are looking for may still be subscribed to it. If they are, then you can post to the thread and a notification will be sent to them and they may respond to you.
    If the thread wasn't recent, then the notifications to it have probably all expired. The best thing to do in this case would be to post a new question and reference the old thread in your question. The original person may reply to it or other users may reply and let you know their opinion of the advice given.

    Hi Molly,
    What qualifies as "recent"? In other words, how long until subscriptions have expired?
    Thanks,

    How do I recover a sms message that I accidentally deleted?

    If you backed up the phone to either iCloud or iTunes before deleting the message, restore the badckup.  If it wasn't backed up, it's gone, gone, gone.

  • When I send a text message the receiving party does not know who it came from?

    When I send a text message to someone they keep asking me who sent this message?  Please explain what I need to change.

    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.

  • 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.

    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

  • Delayed sending of SMS message not working

    My Curve has an option to delay the sending of SMS messages found by clicking the menu key in a new SMS message and "OPTIONS" it has an option for "delivery period" with choices of "immediate, 15 mins, 30 mins, and so on" but when I select a delay, it sends the message as soon as I hit send? Does anyone know how to work this feature? I can't find anything about it in the manual.....
    Thanks
    Cas

    That's unfortunate. However, without more information, there's probably not going to be much anyone here can suggest. Try contacting your carrier and making sure your account is properly provisioned.

  • I am currently abroad in France, and I can not send any SMS messages.

    I am currently abroad in France, and I can not send any SMS messages. iMessages works fine. I have checked the setting, and message sending to SMS is activated. I have also reset my phone. Could you advise on why I can not do this please?

    Hi 
    It could be a case that the network you are connected to is having problems.
    If you go to Settings > Carrier > Turn off Automatic > This will prompt the device to do a manual search. Once completed chose a different network and test.
    Also is it a particular number it's failing to or have you tried a few?
    Let me know how you get on.
    Thanks.
