HT3529 Can iPad Retina (ios 6) send/receive sms texts  without an apple-id.

Is there anyway this can be done by just using a phone number to communicate to people who do not have an apple device ! ?
Isn't there another app that does this apart from iMessage. ?
Most frustrating !

  • Why is my texting using data? When I have data turned off I can't send/receive. Texting is "unlimited" but it's using up all my data- help!

    Why is my texting using data? When I have data turned off I can't send/receive. Texting is "unlimited" but it's using up all my data- help!

    Texting longer text messages or any media (pictures/video/sound etc) being sent requires data to be active. However, it does not count against your data caps.
    Since you have an iPhone, you must also be aware of the difference between iMessage and SMS Text messages. The iPhone, by default, will send an iMessage when sending another text message to anyone else with an iPhone, iTouch, or iPad. This does use your data if you are not connected to wifi. In Settings, you can turn iMessage off, and then all of your texts will go through Verizon.
    Also understand- iMessage will use wifi when connected to wifi, but would need cellular data connection to work when not connected to wifi. Regular SMS text messages that are long or any media will always use the cellular data and not wifi, so will not send if cellular data is turned off, even if on wifi. However, this does not count against your cap.

  • Can ipad open, revise and send word docs?

    Can Ipad open, revise and send word docs?

    Depends on what you're doing; SL doesn't really support Office docs directly. In Snow Leopard, TextEdit can open Word docs, albeit with little fidelity for anything beyond text. Try iWork if you need to really work with Word docs (note that even then it's an import/export process and not native support).

  • HT3529 How do I send a group text, I have set up groups in my gmail account but can't figure out how to send a group text without adding them all individually

    How do I send a group text message, I have groups set up in my gmail account but can't figure out how to send a group text without adding them all individually ?

    You can use iCloud:
    Step 1. Log into www.icloud.com using your Apple ID.
    Step 2. Click on Contacts and then click the groups ribbon (the red icon with two people) which is on the left-hand page when viewing All Contacts.
    Step 3. The left page changes to a list of Groups (only those groups stored in iCloud are shown). Click the + button at the bottom to add a new group.
    Step 4. Type a name for the new group and press Enter to save it. To change it after this, double-click its entry in the groups list.
    Step 5. To add contacts to the new group, click on the All Contacts group and locate the first person to be added (you can use the search bar to find them quickly).
    Step 6. Drag their name on top of the new group and drop it to add it to that group.
    Step 7. To add more contacts, repeat steps 5 and 6, but you can add multiple contacts at once by pressing Ctrl (on a PC) or Command (on a Mac) and clicking on each contact in the list that you wish to select. Then, drag one of the highlighted names to the new group and they will all be added.
    It's possible to add names to more than one group, and you can create as many groups as you like.
    Step 8. Launch the Contacts app on your device (iPhone, iPod touch or iPad) and you should see the new group appear almost immediately - as long as you have an internet connection.
    Until Apple builds in a function to create groups directly within the Contacts app, this is the best way to do it.

  • HOW CAN WE GET SKYPE TO ALLOW RECEIVED SMS?

    hey yall friends, moderators, and hopefully someone from the actual skype company.
    what is the deal? why are we not able to receive sms texts (except from people with smartphones who can do mobile to landline text to voice features)?
    can we somehow come to a compromise, a creative solution. it is just stupid to be able to send sms messages but not receive them. people even send them back and they go nowhere, thinking they communicated but we never receive anything.
    if we have bought an online number and a subscription doesnt it make sense we should be able to receive text? that was one of the first features of skype original.
    what is the blockage that is stopping this easy feature from being included? is it that phone companies charge the recipient company (skype) for texting? and skype doesnt know how to deal with that, or want to? i think even if you charged us .11 cents to receive, we would all do that. you could even make an SMS subscription to pay for costs.
    if skype is going to continue to grow as a company and as a useful feature. this is the next step. i hope we all understand and appriciate that.
    again, 1 way SMS is just non-functional and barely-useful. communication is a two way street. please let us make something happening.
    here i am planting the seed.
    ~e

    That is also my request.  I'm using TextPlus on my Android phone to send and receive free SMS messages. (Yes, it gave me a free phone number.)  However, I would rather just use Skype with an online number to send and receive SMS messages.  And SMS needs to be free.  With Skype's other paid services, free SMS should be possible.

    Hi
    There is no need to develope mobile application for
    sending SMS from the PC.
    n general, there are two ways to send SMS messages
    from a computer / PC to a mobile phone:
    Connect a mobile phone or GSM/GPRS modem to a
    computer / PC. Then use the computer / PC and AT
    commands to instruct the mobile phone or GSM/GPRS
    modem to send SMS messages.
    Connect the computer / PC to the SMS center (SMSC) or
    SMS gateway of a wireless carrier or SMS service
    provider. Then send SMS messages using a protocol /
    interface supported by the SMSC or SMS gateway.I would like to know how do you set up the whole thing. What are AT commands and Where do i get thm and how do i use them. i am sorry for asking so many question but i am really interested in knowing this. I am doing my school project which requires me to send sms from my PC.
    Please help!!!!
    Thanks

  • Nokia 6233 can't receive SMS/text message

    My Nokia 6233 stopped receiving SMS/text messages, although I can send messages and receive/make phone calls. I let the battery run flat and then recharged again. It received some messages but stopped receiving messages again a short time later. I must say I have not been letting my battery run flat on a regular basis. Is this the cause? I bought the phone 2 years ago.
    I do have 600 plus messages in my phone- is this the cause too?
    Cheers.

    I don't think it is a battery issue. The more likely culprit is your memory getting almost full. Try deleting some old unwated messages or any other files. It is probably time to do a spring clean after 2 years.

  • Problem sending/ receiveing SMS on a particular port in an intercarrier n/w

    I am using JSR 120 to send & receive SMS on a particular port. This works perfectly between 2 devices using the same carrier.
    if I try sending & receive inter-carrier SMS, like from T-Mobile device to Cingular device (or vice-versa), my j2me app does not receive any SMS on the port it is listening to.
    When the SMS with a port is sent from my app, I get the prompt for permission to send. On pressing OK, the SMS is sent. On the receiving side, the device on the another carrier network receives the SMS in the default inbox, & not by my app.
    I am not sure if this is a inter-carrier SMSC issue or something to do with my app.
    Pl help.

    Has anyone come across the above mentioned problem? Pl let me know if there is any solution.
    Question simply put : When a j2me sms midlet sends an sms on a unique port to another j2me sms midlet listening on the same port, but served by a different carrier (cellular operator), why does the sms go to device inbox & not to my midlet?
    Thank you

  • Can i reject calls by sending saved sms?

    can i reject calls by sending saved sms? such as 'sorry, i will call back'?

    No, it's not currently a feature of the iPhone. You can suggest it to Apple... http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
    You can setup your voicemail to say 'sorry, i will call back'.
    You can also look in the App Store for an app that might do something similar.

  • Can receive sms texts but not read them

    Hi!
    my blackberry curve is currently receiving sms text messages, but they only show up as an icon at the top of the main menu, i can't actually see them or even open them. i do not have this problem with mms or email. i also can't see texts when i go to the specific 'sms' inbox. i know i'm receiving them because friends have asked why i haven't responded. but it's like they're lost to some black hole in my phone. 
    things i've tried:
    i've tried rebooting the phone, at which point i've gotten the "uncaught exception: java.lang.ClassCastException" error. 
    also, my phone is saying "attempting to open a secure server connection but the server's certificate is not trusted." sometimes i can just click close connection and get through to the phone but other times i can't. 
    i've tried rebooting the phone (taking the battery out), changing my themes settings to default (and using a default blackberry theme) and deleting all messages from my phone. 
    nothing seems to be working -- what can I do to read text messages again??

    Hey mmgiiirl,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
    This may be an issue with your SMS database. Try clearing your SMS database then test with new messages:
