I can only send messages to other iPhones and I am not allowed to make or receive calls

I can only send messages to other iPhones and I am not allowed to make or receive calls at all not even iphones.

You must have a SIM card installed ( if applicable ) and have your iPhone activated to make calls or text mobile phones.

  • Can't send messages to other iPhones 5/5s 6

    As the title suggests I can not send messages to any of the following handset models, nor receive messages.  I have scoured the internet in hopes of finding information.  I have an iPhone 6 with iMessage activated (verizon).  All my messages from 5/5s 6 users appear on my iPad.  Any help would be greatly appreciated this is extremely frustrating.

    Hi Scootmagoots,
    From your post I see that you are unable to send or receive iMessage on your iPhone.  While this is understandably a very frustrating issue there are troubleshooting steps I'd like you to follow through in order to get this resolved.

  • Why can i only send photos to other iphone users?

    my plan includes SMM sending, but i can only send photos to other iphones

    Photos to other iPhone users are probably being sent as iMessages. Is the accompanying text in a blue text balloon? To ensure that MMS is enabled on your phone for regular phones, go to Settings, Messages, make sure MMS Messaging is on under SMS/MMS.

    Did you activate imessage?  Is this happening to everyone your sending imessage too or just one contact?

    You need to move the music from the iPod to your iTunes library on your computer then sync with the iPhone.
    Assuming you have a PC you can use this: http://www.yamipod.com/main/modules/home/

  • Can't send texts to other iphones

    I have an iPhone 5 that has been updated to ios7.  All of a sudden I am unable to send texts to other iPhone users.  When I type my text and hit send it say's "sending" but never sends.  Now, I have to tap on my message and an option comes up that say's, "send as text message."  HELP!!! I have not had this problem until today.  My husband does not have an iPhone and I am able to send him texts without having to go through the above scenario.  Any suggestions would be much appreciated.  I tried shutting my phone down and restarting but that didn't solve the problem.  Thank you!!!

    imessage will send as a SMS (text) when imessage is not available.
    that could mean that you or the receiptant has a weak wifi/cellular data signal, or the receiptant doesn't have imessage turned on.

  • Can't send texts to other iPhone users

    Why don't my texts go through to other iPhone users? This just started a couple of days ago. iMessage is turned on, I've reset network connections, reset phone.....nothing works. It's very frustrating! I can't even text my husband who is on the same plan. My phone shows messages were delivered but he doesn't get them.

    If your communications issues are limited strictly to Apple devices, ensure that they have iMessage turned ON in Settings-Messages-iMessage.  Be sure that the 'Send & Receive' option includes your current phone number for iMessage - IF that's the desired method of contact -  if they're using their AppleID for iMessaging and you're texting/iMessaging to a phone number (or vice versa), then messages won't be received because of the device settings.  You may want to check your own device as well - to be certain you have properly selected either your phone number, Apple ID or other email address for iMessaging. 
    Second - be sure that Cellular Data is turned ON.  Otherwise, all data is restricted unless you're connected to Wi-Fi.  This includes texts - SMS, MMS and iMessage.
    Third - and this part is very important (and don't ask me why, but it works this way)..
    * Open your Text Messages
    * Check to see if the 'Undelivered' notification is present on ANY text/iMessage stored in your phone - it's a red exclamation point inside a circle.  If it's there, hold your finger on it until the screen gives you the option to 'Try Again' or 'Delete'.  DELETE all messages to all Contacts with these notification symbols.  Then try sending another text or iMessage.  For some reason, if there's ONE undelivered text / iMessage, the iPhone refuses to send/receive as it should.
    The last thing I'd suggest is that you check your available storage on your device.  Apple devices are designed to allow a certain amount of space to each operating sector, as a safety feature for the hard drive.  If the specified 'allotment' for messaging is at or near it's maximum capacity, text/iMessaging may not function correctly.  It's a good idea to clean up old data on a regular basis - email, texts, phone logs, and most importantly, internet history (under Settings, select Safari, then scroll down to 'Clear History & Website Data', or maybe 'Clear Cookies & Cache').  This should not only improve the functionality of your device, but help to improve battery life as well.   
    I hope this helps.

  • Can't send messages from Mail from Comcast account - "SMTP not responding"

    Using Mail and a Comcast account, I can receive but not send. The error message on trying to configure the outgoing mail server says the SMTP server isn't responding. If I click continue to set up the account in Mail, then go to Mail Preferences and tweak the ports between 587 and 25, triple check the username and password for the outgoing server, etc. -- still no dice.
    I wonder if this might be the problem: Is it possible to configure Mail when you're not using a Comcast installed modem? I'm trying to get my Dad's account up and running on my old Mac with my airport extreme to earthlink modem connection (which works fine for Earthlink and .Mac e-mail accounts.) Apple support and Comcast tech support are both stumped on this one, referring me back and forth to each other. HELP!
    Thanks.

    If I'm understanding this, you are trying to send messages with a Comcast account and SMTP server while connected to the internet with Earthlink?
    If so, this is the cause of the problem. All ISPs now have restrictions on using an SMTP server that is outside of their network or not provided by the ISP used for connecting to the internet.
    If you are connected to the internet with Earthlink at this house in California, contacting Comcast about a sending problem with their account and SMTP server when connected to the internet via Earthlink is a waste of time. You need to be contacting Earthlink if you are using Earthlink for your internet connection.
    Do you also have an email account with Earthlink? If so, you can select/use Earthlink's authenticated SMTP server to send messages with your Comcast email account while connected to the internet with Earthlink or call Earthlink technical support regarding their required settings for an SMTP server that is outside of their network or not provided by Earthlink.
