How to text to someone who doesn't have an iphone

how do you text someone who doesn't have an iphone

Make sure your cellular service includes SMS messaging. Also make sure the person you are trying to text has an account with SMS messaging. As long as both have this service just use the Messages app and send the message to the individuals phone number.

  • My iPhone is sending iMessages to someone who doesn't have an iPhone.

    My friend's iPhone 4 was stolen two days ago. We're on the same plan. He activated his old non-iPhone to use in the meantime but my iPhone 4 keeps sending iMessages to him... which he's not receiving. I can turn off iMessages from the settings menu but then all my other iPhone pals will be getting texts from me instead of iMessages. I tried deleting him as a contact and then making a new one under his nickname thinking I could trick the phone into resetting it but it doesn't work... it still tries to send iMessages to him. Is there any way around this or am I just stuck until he gets another iPhone?

    I just had this problem. I found this solution on a discussion board and it seems to have fixed the issue:
    "So I finally realized (by accident) that you can tap on the text message you just sent, (the blue bubble imessage) and it'll ask "copy" or "send as sms"...and I chose send as sms.
    After doing this about 5-6 times, it stopped automatically sending him imessages and started automatically sending him SMS messages instead!"

  • Sending a message to someone who used to have an iPhone

    I have sent some messages to someone who used to have an iPhone (and to whom I used to send iMessages) but who has now switched to an android device but the contact number has stayed the same. I notice that when I send a text now it is going as an iMessage (message in blue). I assume that the recipient is not receiving these. Is that correct? How do I send the contact a regular text message at this point?

    You tell them to sign out of iMessage

  • Sending a flash file to someone who doesn't have flash

    Helloooooo again )
    i want to send a flash file to someone who don't have the flash softwer on her computer.... how do i save the file that i have done, that my friend can open it and just view it? is it posible??? please can you explain me how to do this step by step???
    thanksssssssssssssss<3

    Just publish your project as a .swf file. Pretty much everyone has the Flash player on their computer, whether they realize it or not. If the file won't open for her, tell her to open it with a web browser (just go to File > Open...). If, for some reason, they really don't have Flash installed, you should be able to publish as a Macintosh Projector or Windows Projector file. These are standalone applications, and I don't think require the viewer to have Flash player installed.
    Of course, none of these can be edited, but that's what you wanted, right?

  • Setting up an ipad for someone who doesn't have a computer

    I want to get my parents an ipad but they don't have a computer.  I'm happy to use my computer but I don't want to mess up my own itunes account.  Any pointers on how to do this would be appreciated.  They are both in the late 80s so making them tech savvy at this point is out of the question but I think many of the aps will be very stimulating for them.  My plan is to set them up with email addesses, load some good aps and give it to them ready to go.

    You no longer need a computer to set-up an iPad. It can all be set-up from the iPad as long as you have a wireless connection:

  • Can I use FaceTime to call someone who doesn't have an iPad?

    My daughter and I are trying to connect through FaceTime. I have an iPad 2 with wi-fi and 3G. She does not have an iPad nor iPhone. She has a Blackberry smartphone. I've tried calling her via her cell phone number AND her email address. A message comes up telling me she is unavailable when I know she's sitting in front of her laptop waiting for me to call. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Oh well, that answered my question. Gosh darn....Bummer. I was hoping to be able to see my two small grandchildren. Are you familiar with Skype? I hope it's okay to ask this here. Is there ANY way that we can connect? I remember when I had a laptop with the camera built-in, as my daughter does, that we could connect and see each other. Can I get any help with this question? As always, I thank you for your help.

  • How do i contact someone who can troubleshoot my installation?

    how do i contact someone who can troubleshoot my installation?

    I have a 3yr old HP running Windows 7.  For a class in Powerpoint the school allowed me to download MS Office 2013.  In a exercise to embed a video from YouTube it said I needed an Adobe Flash video plugin so I downloaded Adobe Flash Player 3 times with a reboot before the last time.  Each time the same message came up.  I initially reached out to this forum to see if there was a phone number for Adobe.  Since the clock is ticking for when the assignment is due I hired the Geek Squad to troubleshoot.  After optimizing my PC this is the message they ended up with after 6 hrs of work.
    11:09 PM Agent Tyler A.: As none of the other agents who are on currently are able to offer further steps to resolve this, I'd recommend you reconnect in the morning or bring the computer into your local Best Buy. Also we may need to remove and reinstall office leaving only one version on here (you have 2007 and 2013) as well, so please have your product keys ready. Aside from this issue your computer is fully optimized and up to date! Thank you for using Geek Squad Online Support.　 Please let us know if there is anything else we can help you with and know that we are here for any future issues you may have. You may close this box to end your session which will bring up a survey page regarding your experience with me. Any comments are appreciated!
    I am hesitant to bring it in since I don't know how long it would take to re-install and I kind of feel they didn't know what else to suggest.  I am obviously at a point of frustration and don't have a clue as to why this is such an issue.  Is it Adobe, is it MS, all are guesses.  Forums aren't my favorite which is why I hoped for a live rep.

  • How can I import comments from shared reviewer who doesn't have acrobat pro?

    How can I import comments from shared reviewer who doesn't have acrobat pro? I sent out a shared review, but not all of the reviewers have acrobat pro, they do have acrobat reader 9 and have made comments on the document, but they do not appear when I open the shared review from the workspace. Can I import his comments so that they are apart of the shared review?

    I figured it out, so I will share just in case anyone else has this issue...
    The reviewer emailed me his comments on the document. I opened it and made a comment. When I went to publish my comment a dialogue box opended asking if I wanted to publish his comments to the shared review for him. Says yes and the reviewers comments are now published and a part of the shared review.

  • TS2755 Why can't I send messages to someone who does not have an apple product from my new Ipad2?

    I just got an Ipad2 and can not figure out why I can't send a message to someone who does not have an apple product. I can from my iPhone. When I enter there name it is shown in red with an ! Behind it and the word send does not light up.

    You can text this person from your iPhone because you are using SMS over the voice cell network. There is no access to the voice cell network on the iPad, even if you have the WiFi+3G model.
    There are some apps, such as TextFree, that will let you do this.

    Okay, I left off a lot of important information...
    I'm using two tables

    From TWDATA I'm pulling the fields TWDATA.OrderNumber and TWDATA.DisbursementDate
    From EVENT I'm pulling the fields EVENT.EventCode and EVENT.CompletedDate
    The two tables are linked by OrderNumber.
