How do you receive iMessages as text messages?

I have my iMessage off, and my friend has her iMessage on. When she sends me iMessages I'm suppose to recieve them as text messages, but I don't receive them as all. She has her "Send as SMS" on. I don't know why I'm still not recieving them. Does the iMessage on my Macbook affect me from recieving iMessages from her? And how come I can't recieve text messages from her?
I've tried this with my sister's phone with "Send as SMS" on and I can recieve her messages. So I'm assuming something's off on my friend's phone. Does the "Send & Recieve" have anything to do with this problem?
Thanks!

Have her delete the message thread and remove your email address from her contact for you.

    You delete the current text message with that person and then create a new one.

  • How do you receive iMessages from a device other than the iPhone they originally are being sent to?

    I'm trying to receive iMessages from a phone other than my own. How do I receive them, I have both Apple IDs and both passwords but do not have current access to the phone I'm trying to get the iMessages from.

    Do you have the other phone's Apple ID active in your iPhone iMessage setting? If not, then you would not get them. And, the person sending the iMessage would have to be sending to the Apple ID and not the phone number.

  • HT4865 How do I receive pictures with text (Messages)?

    Someone texted me a picture and I cannot find it.  I use "Messages" for texting.  Can a photo be received there.  Where does it go when it is sent to me?

    It will appear in your text message conversation, just like any other text message.  When you do this it's called MMS messaging.  If it's not working for you go to Settings>Messages and make sure MMS Messaging is set to On.  If it is and it still isn't working you'll have to call your carrier and make sure they have your messaging plan correctly provisioned for MMS.

  • How to switch from iMessage to text message?

    How do i switch from a iMessage to a text message? Since i depend on wifi for my iMessaging i don't always have access to it
    also, I dont feel like waiting 5 mins for my iMessage to automatically send as a text message if my recipent does not have access to data or wifi, is there an easier way than waiting for it to autiomatically send?
    Thanks

    your response doesn't help the overall problem. For anyone with no data plan and only using wifi like mel_222 and myself, the iphone will not be able to send a message to these people who the phone has recognized as having ios5 unless the phone has a wifi connection because it is an imesssage. I am having the same problem, hopefully someone will know how to switch it. Hopefully this clarifies for anyone who might be able to answer. Luckily I will have a data plan kick in in a week, but I am sure some people who buy the phone outright will be faced with this issue.

  • How do you retrieve accidentally deleted text messages?

    I accidentally deleted a text message stream. How do I retrieve them?

    Deleted messages are not recoverable on the iPhone itself.
    But it is fairly easy to recover them as follows:
    Connect the iPhone to iTunes in the computer, make sure that in Summary Page  "Backup to this computer" is checked, then do Manual Backup.
    Since the deleted messages are still on the iPhone, the deleted messages are also in the Backup.
    Download a third party app called "Data Recovery for iPhone", and use this app to get the deleted messages, it will find the backup on your computer that you just made with iTunes on its own.
    After that uninstall the App.

  • Delays in receiving imessages and text messages after iOS7 update - iphone 4s

    Sending messages is never a problem (unlike a lot of issues I've read) only receiving, and the sender of the message is always notified it was sent successfully - even though i receive the sent message minutes to days after.
    Sometimes the messages are only received if:
    1) I tap the messages icon
    2) the screen freezes for 10-30 seconds
    3) I get a rush of new message notifications that say "2d ago" or "35 min ago"
    Any one else having the above problem? - Not happy at all with iOS7 performance on my 4S so far.

    its giving you a choose on device sign in with apple id or create apple id.  sounds like you are selecting create.  do this
    Hard Reset
    Press and hold BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    now choose sign in with apple id not create.
    Peace, Clyde

  • How do I unsync two I phones from receiving each others text messages?

    How do I unsync two I phones from receiving each others text messages?

    To fix this you have two choices:
    On one of the phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID (you can still share the same ID for purchasing in Settings>iTunes & App Stores); or
    On both phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and uncheck the email address(es) shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at".

  • Have been told if you use the same itunes account with two iphone you will receive each others text messages, is this true

    Have been told if you use the same itunes account on two iphones, you will receive each others text messages, is this true?

    you can use the same itunes id for purchases and so on, but have separate icloud id's for imessaging and all the icloud stuff. it's not preferable, but it isn't a problem either.

  • TS2755 keep receiving the same text message multiple times, at the same time of the night. How can I stop this?Thabnks

    Hi
    I keep on receiving the same text message multiple times and at around the same time each night. Any idea how I can stop this happening? The text messages are originating from to separate Saudi Arabian mobile numbers. Both these people are listed in my contacts so do you think if I delete their names it might stop the texts coming htrough each night?
    Cheers

    Deleting the people from your contacts will not stop the messages. Have you tried talking to the people and finding out if they're sending you messages? You could try contacting your carrier and finding out what blocking services they offer. However, theat would block all messages from those people.

  • HT1766 how do i print or save my imessages and text messages from my phone?

    how do i print or save my imessages and text messages from my iphone?

    When viewing the SMS messages, hit edit. You then have the opportunity to select whatever messages are needed. Forward these to your email or wherever you wish. You then have a text transcript in the body of an email that you can cut/copy/paste into Pages/Word/etc. for printing.
