    How to send text messages written on my Laptop on my Curve8520 with Orange network?

    umm... you don't. SMS is a function of the BlackBerry, not your PC.
    There could a desktop software for SMS, but I don't know what it would be.
    **edit, well this looks like it would work.

    I tried to send a text message to someone whose phone number is all I have. The app keeping auto inserting a 1 before the out of state tel #. I then get a prompt to use a 10 digit number which is what I entered. How to force the message to go through? Or do I need to download one of those free text apps for iphone? iphone 4.

    Hello,
    Generally when using the Messages.app on an iPhone, using the 10-digit method work (i.e 123-456-7890)
    Make sure you are updated the latest firmware, although no firmware has updated the messages app yet.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can send I messages from ipad but reply only goes to Iphone

    Can send I messages from my I Pad but reply only comes to my Iphone

    Your question is a bit confusing, but your iPad can only send messages to other iOS devices, such as other iPad users, iPhone users and iPod touch users who have iMessage enabled on their devices.  You can not send text messages from iPad to non-Apple devices, like Android phones........

  • I just bought an new ipad mini with wifi and cellular. Is there any way to send text messages to people and contacts that do not have iphones such as friends with blackberrys or a samsung galaxy smartphone.

    I just bought an new ipad mini with wifi and cellular. Is there any way to send text messages to people and contacts that do not have iphones such as friends with blackberrys or a samsung galaxy smartphone from this ipad. Everytime I try to send a message to a person that does not have an Apple product ( Iphone or Ipad ) it comes up saying contact is not registered for iMessage and wont send it. I can only send them a message from my iPhone 4 instead. Do I have to install a new App from the App store to send these non iMessage cell users a message?

  • Why do text messages from my iPad appear to some people as if they came from my email address instead of my phone number? This does not happen when I send text messages from my iPhone.

    Why do text messages from my iPad appear to some people as if they came from my email address instead of my phone number? This does not happen when I send text messages from my iPhone.

    You need to link your iPhone number to Messages - and Facetime if you use it. For Messages go to Settings>Messages>Send and Receive at>You can be reached by iMessage at. If your phone number is showing there, select it as your Contact address. If it doesn't appear in there, take a look at the end of this article for help.
