I'm sending an iMessage from my iPhone to another iPhone but the recipient phone does not receive message because not on wifi. Why does recipient iPhone not automatically receive in text messaging?

Wi-Fi is not required for iMessage. Internet access is required for iMessage which includes when the iPhone is connected to the cellular network.
If an iMessage cannot be sent, it will fail to send and you will be prompted to send as an SMS if text only.

Your message on your screen shows up blue if sent as iMessage or green if sent as regular text. If not connected to wi-fi or cellular data, iMessage isn't available to/from. Both of you need a data connection for iMessage to work.
But your message on the recipient's screen will show up white.

Next try :) I send a iMessage from my ipad (wifi only) to a friend and he answers but i don't receive the answer on the ipad but on the iphone instead. Both devices using the same Apple ID (Settings>Messages>Receive At, same Adress on both devices). I tought iMessages are always received on bothe devices, like the advertisment says i should be able to start a iMessage conversation on ipad and finish it on iphone because both devices receive my iMessages... Thats not like it is on my devices, most times iMessages are only received from the iphone.

If I send an imessage from my phone on my email address, will it come up on my phone bill?

if i send an imessage from my email adress instead of my phone number on my iphone, will the text come up on the phone bill ?

Not if it is truly an iMessage - to/from another Apple device using the iMessage technology.
If it is an SMS or MMS message, that is a cellular text message, and yes, it would show up as part of your cellular carrier's service.

Can you send iMessages from one iPad to another? If so how can I do this? Thanks

I have just got a new iPad and I'm wondering if you can send iMessages from one iPad to another? We are currently trying this out and can only send iMessages from an iPad to an iPhone is this correct? Thanks

You can use the Messages app to send messages to any iOS device or to a Mac running Mountain Lion. So yes you can send a message to another iPad.
Both iPads have to have Messages set up and you need to contact the other iPad using an email addresses as the "you can be reached at" email address.
Do you have it set up correctly on both iPads?

Check Settings > Messages > Send & Receive on both your iPhone and your iPad to make sure that the following are all true:
(1) you have selected the same Apple ID on both devices,
(2) you have the same entries checked under "You can be reached by iMessage at:" on both devices,
(3) you have the same entry checked under "Start new conversations from:" on both devices,
and
(4) that the entry checked in #3 is one of those checked in #2 on both devices.
When you say it has affected your iCloud account, what effect has it had?

Are you using her Apple ID and email on your iPad? The Message app uses your Apple ID as the contact at which you can be reached.

How to send an iMessage from an iPhone to an iPod touch?

Hi Guys,
I installed the new iOS 5 on my iPhone 4 and i was wondering if somebody could tell me how to send a iMessage from my iPhone to my iPod Touch.

to b very honest i think iMessage has been launched in competition to Blackberry BBM service.
But iMessage being an Apple product is far more advanced.
Also SMS and Email are two different things. cannot be discussed in detail here.
I know people who dont use email on their iphone just to save on data usage. so sending them an iMessage makes sense.
and now they save money on their message plan also.....!!

Does anyone have a clear solution as to why my new iPhone will not send text messages to some numbers.

Does anyone have a clear solution as to why my new iPhone 5 will not send text messages to some numbers?

I had problems the first few days with text messaging on my new cell. I checked my new contract service thru AT&T online, and it turned out the guy who set up my phone didn't sign me up for the unlimited texting I told him I HAD to have! I just had to add texting back into my contract.....problem solved. I hope your problem is solved this easily.

When I try to send multiple photo from my photo albums and hit share, the email box doesn't show up. Whats going on?

When I try to send multiple photo from my photo albums and hit share, the email box option doesn't show up. The only options are facebook, message, It was there last evening and I used it. Whats going on?

There is a limit on the number of photos that you can send in one email from the photos app, but I thought it was five. In any event, you know that you can send mutiple photos from the mail app itself and you can send more than 5.
When you are typing an email - Tap and hold down in the body of the message area and select "Insert Photo or Video" from the black pop up options bar. Select the photos that you want to include from the photos app window that appears. Then hit return on the keyboard and start the process all over again.
You can insert photos, type text, enter more photos .... any way that you would like to do it.

Anyone notice that text/iMessages are not listed by contact's name but the contact phone number now?

Anyone notice that text/iMessages are not listed by contact's name but the contact phone number now after 5.0.1?

Yes, I just noticed this after upgrading to 5.0.1. That's why I came here to this forum. I tried re-syncing with address book, but it didn't help. Not only is my text messages only showing phone numbers, instead of contact names, but my call log is doing that as well.

When using Firefox Sync on multiple devices, I used to be able to 'send' a tab from one computer to another. Is this still possible? If so, how?

When using Firefox Sync on multiple devices, I used to be able to 'send' a tab from one computer to another. Is this still possible? If so, how?
I don't mean the ability to see what tabs are open on another device (I know how to do this). But if I am at work and find something that I want to read at home, it would be helpful to 'send' the tab to my home PC so that when I return home, it will automatically open that tab for me.

Can anyone help?

How to turn off automatic correction on text message?

How to turn off automatic correction on text message?

At this time I don't think there is a way to turn it off. the software will learn new words and shortcuts you use when typing as you go. To do this type in the word/phrase and then hit the x when the suggested word pops up or tap on the word to keep what you have. Then hit the space bar and type away, it should have added that word to its dictionary and if you type it again it shouldn't offer up a new word instead.
