I use iMessage on an iphone 4s, iOS 5.1, and I receive iMessages from iMessage users but I cannot receive a text sent to my phone number from non-iMessage users. Any idea why?

SMS activated in Settings > Messages? Jailbroken?

    the fastest way is to call applecare and they can remove her number from iMessage/facetime.

    Could it be that you are using your account on more than 10 devices? Or that more than 10 devices are still connected to your account?

    OK, restart in Safe Mode, this will clear some caches. It's possible one or more is corrupt. To restart in Safe Mode when you hear the start up tone hold down the Shift Key until you see a progress bar. Let it fully boot then restart normally and test.
    Also I am assuming you have checked Finder - Preferences  - General and see what boxes are checked in "Show these items on desktop." You can also mount an item in Disk Utility, simply highlight it and then look in the File menu for Mount.....

    No idea at all, it might help if you gave more information, what type of mail, who provides it, any error messages etc.

    I've checked the "Redirect from Desktop" and after uploading the website into the hosting account, it still appears in the desktop version.  Would you please take a look at this?  I hope you can see what I've missed.  Thanks.

  • Why won't iMessage send from my iPad to a contact who has an iPhone and uses iMessage on her iPhone?

    Sometimes when I'm using my iPad and I want to send a message via iMessage it won't let me. This happens even when I know that the recipient has an iPhone and uses the iMessage app on her iPhone. Why is that? I can use iMessage from my iPhone and it will go to her iPhone. Why can't it work from my iPad.?

  • Any ideas why I can't text my friend  my iPhone 5s to her Samsung galaxy s4 mini? I have turned on my SMS when iMessage is in available but still nothing

    Any ideas why I can't text my friend  my iPhone 5s to her Samsung galaxy s4 mini? I have turned on my SMS when iMessage is in available but still nothing

    Ask your friend if they use to have an iPhone and used iMessage.  If so, they probably didn't unregister their phone number with iMessage before changing phones and your iPhone is still trying to send iMessages to their number.  If that's the case, they need to contact Apple support and request that their mobile number be unregistered for iMessage.
