HT3529 Am I correct in assuming that if I iMessage with another iphone user while we are both in a foreign country, I will not incur texting charges?

Correct.

Text messages on the Iphone 5c do not forward to non-Iphone users. How can I communicate with both Iphone users and non-Iphone people?

How can I create a setting that allows me to text to Iphone users and non-Iphone users? Where do I find those settings?

That is the default behavior when startng a message to a number that is not associated with iMessage. such as that of non iPhones.
If you choose to user an email address it will always attempt to send an iMessage.
For ease of identifcation, Messages sent thorugh SMS will be green in the Messages App, while iMessages will be blue.

How to prevent from trying to iMessage an ex-iPhone user

Hi,
I have an AT&T line that used to be with an iPhone, and since I switched this line\number to an Android device, all my iPhone contacts having issues when trying to text me.
Their phones are always trying to iMessage me, and fail to do that, than they need to manually cancel and "send as text message" and it switch the conversation to text messages until the next time they trying to contact me.
There do you think is the issue? somewhere on my end or on their ends? and what can we do to prevent their phones from trying to iMessage me? (so it will send Text Messages automatically).
I can't ask them all to delete my contact and create it again, it will be kind of weird and rude... :\
Many thanks!

It is on your end. You need to deactivate iMessage. Go into your support profile on Apple, log in with your Apple ID and remove that device from your support profile. You may also have to contact Express Lane Support to get the number removed from the iMessage database. Your support profile is here: https://supportprofile.apple.com. Log in with your Apple ID.

Cant use iMessage with Every iPhone Users

Hi, I just bought my iPhone 4s yesterday.
My iMessage works for some of my friends (iPhone 4/4s user) but not for everyone.
I was using iPhone 4 with IOS 5.1.1 previously and my iMessage is fine for everyone.
But now with this iPhone 4s, when I text my friends, some messages sent via iMessage while some as SMS.
May I know how to fix this? Thanks.

for imessage each of your friends should have latest ios that is ios5 or later. data connection or connected to wifi. reset the phone settings and try

If LTE is backwards compatible with GSM, why don't they say the phones are global?

When is Verizon going to come up with a 4g LTE CDMA GSM phone, just to leave no needs unfilled? Seems like an obvious gap, except that searching these boards and elsewhere seems to lead to the paradox of yes backwards compatible, but not actually global.
Argghhhh. Any helps or ideas?

Some modern chipsets include software-defined radios that can change
their frequency and even their technology. They change mode depending
on the firmware loaded at startup. It would be really helpful if we had
a list of such chipsets and the phones that use them. At least we'd
know which ones stood some chance of being global-compatible in the
future, if and when Verizon decides to enable the capability. As it is,
they stand a very good chance of losing an increasing number of their
most lucrative customers.

When using imessage with another iphone user, is it still free to message them if they're out of the country?

my friend is out of the country, and he wants use imessage, but i dont know if it will give me charges to my account and apple doesnt mention if it's only unlimited messaging within the country

iMessage uses data, just like an email, if I can use that analogy. It will not count as SMS, however I have read somewhere where some people have reported getting SMS charges when using iMessage. I believe it is impossible though, unless the message does not go through and you have send as SMS checked in settings if the iMessage fails.

An album I'm trying to sync to my iPhone 5 is grey on the phone and won't sync

I was syncing an album to my iPhone when my iTunes froze and i had to shut it down using the task manager and when I brought it back up and tried to sync the album again it wouldn't go and wouldn't do anything, then I checked my phone and the album is grey and I can't play it or delete it. Resetting it didn't work, I haven't erased everything and re-synced because that needs to be a last resort. What are my other options? I've seen several posts about this with solutions but they didn't not work for me.

Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
iTunes 10.7 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)

A number of my friend will not let me sent messages to it cause it says tht number is not registered with iMessage how do I register it?

IMessage stopped working with non-iphone users suddenly

I was able to text message from iMessage with non-iPhone users after the last update and now I suddenly can't. The phone numbers are in read and the messages won't go through. What happened?

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Or you can use your Apple ID to register with this site and go the Apple BugReporter. Supposedly you will get an answer if you submit feedback.

My iPhone 4 sending a iMessage to another iPhone user, the message will send then says not delieverd? So I have to send it as a normal text message .

Hey! So I'm having a problem with sending an IMessage to another iPhone user and they are having the same problem. The problem is; is that I send a message to them it will attempt to send then will say under the message that it was not delivered? So I send it as a normal text message. Weird part is that we both have full service and have the phone bills paid. Lol

There is an earlier thread that was answered by an Apple employee that states they are seeing the iMessage and Facetime servers are down. It is unknown when they will return, however it generally is not an extended period of time.

Hey lozza567,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues sending MMS messages. The following resource may provide a solution:
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2755
Issues with sending and receiving MMS
You will need these to send and receive MMS:
- An iPhone 3G or later.
- iOS 3.1 or later.
- A cellular data connection. MMS isn't available if you are using only Wi-Fi.
- A domestic MMS plan from your cellular provider. You may need an international messaging plan to send MMS to an international contact. Contact your carrier for more information.
- A roaming MMS when using a cellular provider's network different from your billing cellular provider's network. Learn more about roaming and contact your carrier for more information.
To resolve issues with sending and receiving MMS, follow these steps first
1. Go to Settings and turn airplane mode off.
2. Go to Settings > Messages and turn MMS Messaging on.
3. Go to Settings > Cellular and turn Cellular Data on.
4. Go to Settings > Cellular and turn Data Roaming on if you are roaming on a cellular provider network different from your billing provider's network.
5. Verify that you have a cellular data connection in the status bar at the top left of your iPhone.
6. Go to Settings and turn Wi-Fi off. Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify that you have a data connection. Turn Wi-Fi back on to continue using Wi-Fi for other features. If your cellular data connection isn't available, follow these steps.
7. Verify that you can send and receive SMS. If you are unable to send and receive SMS, see the "Issues with sending and receiving SMS" section, above.
8. MMS may not be available while on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn more about which network your phone supports.
9. Restart your iPhone.
10. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
11. Reseat your SIM card.
If you are still unable to send or receive MMS, follow these steps
1. Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
2. Go to Settings > Messages and turn on group messaging if you are sending a group message.
3. Make sure that you are using the area code with the contact's phone number. When sending messages internationally, you also need the contact's international code.
4. Verify a "Pay as you go" MMS plan has enough available balance. Contact your carrier if unsure of your MMS plan or available balance.
5. If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
6. If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and re-create the contact from the Contacts application. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
7. Back up and restore your iPhone as new.
8. If your carrier has recently ported your phone number, the porting process may not be complete. Contact your carrier to confirm that the porting process is complete.
9. Contact your carrier to verify that you are provisioned to send SMS and are in an area with cellular coverage.
10. Contact your carrier to verify that there are no blocks or filters placed on your wireless account preventing you from sending SMS.
11. Your carrier may require APN settings to be modified to use MMS. Learn more about when you should adjust APN settings.
Thanks,
Matt M.

I synced my new iPad with my new macbook and when I tried to then sync my iPhone as well it says that all apps will be replaced with apps in my library. How do I sync without losing all of my existing iPhone apps?

My guess is that you previously synced the iPhone with a different computer in the past. You will probably want to set up Home Sharing.
