Yes, I already talked about this to my carrier. Do you think it doesn't have any problem with the phone?

HT3529 I am confused about messaging. Shouldn't I be able to send and receive messages with cellular data off? I can usually send the message, but often do not receive messages until I either have wifi or turn cellular on.

I am confused about messaging. Shouldn't I be able to send and receive messages with cellular data off and without wifi? I can send the message but often do not receive messages from others, iPhone or other, until I turn on cellular or wifi.

Depends on the type of Message.
SMS messages will send and receive with data off. and while you can guarantee you send using SMS you cannot guarantee that whoever replies to you does also. They may be replying thorugh iMessage if they are using iPhones.
However Android should be sending through SMS.
You can turn off iMessage if you want to, though people with limtied SMS text messaging in their plans may not appreciate it, and stop messaging you.

What worked before doesn't matter. AT&T does not permit the use of pre-paid SIMs in the iPhone, including Go Phone SIMs. They will disable data on the account if they detect one being used.
The fact is, you can't do that.

My "remote" can't control my Apple TV, however apple tv still received signal from "remote" . Before that I have to press and hold the menu button, then the "remote" icon appeared on the screen.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Your Apple TV may have become paired with another remote. Hold the remote close to and pointed at the Apple TV, hold down the menu and Rewind buttons together for 6 seconds or until you see a broken chain icon on screen.

Regarding receiving texts as emails: Can you apply this setting to one individual? I want to continue to receive texts from everyone else except one person!

Don't want to block the person, just have all his texts going directly to my email so that I can maintain a continuous record of his text contacts (rather than remain in text form).
It appears that I must select an option that makes ALL texts go to email, which I'd prefer not doing.

Can't send Text messages to Android phones or receive text from any websites

Hi LASalem,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that your iPhone is not sending/receiving messages to certain devices the way your would expect. To begin the troubleshooting process, I suggest working through the troubleshooting information in the attached article.

Can send forwarded e-mail but cannot receive

I have been accessing e-mail on my Palm-pre through inbox. com. In other words my mail is forwarded to my palm through inbox. com. I received an error message stating that my space on inbox was full and I could no longer receive messages. I deleted and trashed the e-mails and now am able to log in to inbox and receive messages but they are no longer being forwarded to my Palm. I can also send e-mail messages from my Palm. However, the error message still reads (Unable to Sign in Message from server "Err sorry, data limit reached"). I have also shut down the phone a couple of times (this worked once before when I wasn't receiving mail) and I have removed the battery twice but the error message does not change. The message at the bottom envelope reads (i Inbox Unable to sign in). Suggestions?

First, try these basic troubleshooting steps:
To make sure that you're connected to the Internet, open Safari and go to www.apple.com.
Log in to your email provider's website to make sure that the account is active and the password is correct.
Make sure your settings are correct using Mail Settings Lookup.
Restart your iOS device.
Delete the affected email account from your device.
Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Tap the affected email account.
Tap Delete Account.
Add your account again.
Follow these steps for specific alerts.

When I send a text to someone, they receive it from my email address not my ph number, how can I stop this?

I recently upgraded to iOS 6 and am being told by my contacts that when I send a text they receive it from my email address (in their messaging app) and not from my phone number.
I have checked the send/receive settings in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, the phone is set to send/receive default from my phone, yet the email sends it first.
I have removed and re added the email address, but have had no luck resolving the problem.
Has anyone else had the same problem? Is there a way I can stop it without turning off iMessage?
Thanks in advance.

There is another setting for "Start Conversation from", that needs to be set to phone number.

I can send iMessages but I can't receive them?

Like the title says, i can send iMessages from my iPhone 5 but if anyone sends me a message it only comes in as a text message. I've tried resetting my network settings and turning off imessage and my phone but nothing seems to be working.

Just to be clear, iMessages can only be sent between Apple devices.
Check your settings here:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Make sure your phone number it is listed in You Can Reach Me At and selected in Start New Conversations From

Now I can send eMails when traveling - but trouble RECEIVING them!

I posted this question a few weeks ago and got a great reply which works fine - see following:
When I am in a hotel out of town or overseas- or just anywhere where I don't have my home ISP - how can I not only RECEIVE but also SEND eMail via my Mail program?
I know I can go to the www and use my MobileMe account - but it is easier if I can use Mail and also use my POP as well as my MobileMe account. With Eudora I used to set the smtp for send after looking it up (when I could find it) with Reverse DNS - but how / what do I fill-in with Mail to be able to send as well as receive eMails?
REPLY: If your ISP is like mine, it authenticates you for outgoing e-mail by being able to determine that you're accessing the Internet from within their network. If your ISP is so configured, they'll offer the ability to authenticate to their SMTP server with a password. My ISP does not.
However, MobileMe does provide its own authenticating SMTP server that you should be able to use from anywhere. Try an SMTP server of smtp.mac.com (smtp.me.com will probably also work) with settings of "Use default ports", "Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)", and "Authentication" by password, your "User Name" the part of your MobileMe ID before the "at" sign, and your password your MobileMe password.
But now I cannot pull-down my MobileMe eMails directly from Apple's Mail when traveling. I can get my [email protected] (not real address) and I can send via my MobileMe from Mail as instructed above; and I can go to MobileMe and yup, my eMails are there; and I can even get those forwarded to my [email protected] account.
But I always could also RECEIVE my [email protected] eMails directly via my VOO.BE account via Mail - now not. Do I have to have the incoming stmp set differently? At home all works - and until 24 hours ago (36 maybe) - I could receive both - but not now...
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Steve traveling in Kobe, Japan\Sunday 14 February 2010

Hi! Well it is strange as I can receive via my VOO.be account; send via my .Mac account; but here in Japan cannot receive via the .Mac account.
I have 2 accounts set-up in Mail; but 4 outgoing servers; but I think at least 1 and maybe 2 don't / haven't worked...
But my problem is now incoming. With connection Doctor I show now 6 different things 3 with green lights and 3 with red:
[email protected] --- red, can't connect with or without SSL checked
VOO Steve eMail --- green
mail.voo.be -- red, cannot connect
smtp.me.com:myname --- green OK
Schulte VOO --- red
smtp.mail.com -- Green - OK
Again, I think I set-up at least 2 outgoing smtp's that don't work / never worked and that might be confusing this. It was only when I got to Japan that the MobileMe mail wouldn't come into Mail - it goes into MobileMe (cloud) fine - and then I ask it to forward to VOO and that comes in - so I'm thankfully not missing eMails but sure is strange--- Why can't I get MobileMe directly into Mail?
You likely need more information / details to solve this-- going to work here now in 2 hours but will try to solve this before I go back to Belgium on Sat!
Thanks for any comments - suggestions. Oh, yes - when I try to change mail.mac.com to smtp.mac.com for "incoming" - it automatically changes back to mail.mac.com... when I hit save.
If I change to mail.me.com (instead of "mac") will that do anything?

I have a droid incredible and my best friend has an ipod touch. She can send texts to me and I receive them just fine but when I send texts to her, she doesn't receive them. Any suggestions on what might be wrong?

Suggestions appreciated :]

She is using the message free app and I was just using the regular texting option on my phone. I set up an account on text plus free cuz I thought that might help but she still can't receive them. I can send messages to other people with ipod touches just fine. I just started having a problem with her receiving my texts.

I can send Digital Touch, but can't receive. Any ideas?

Hi there
My partner and I both have our new Apple Watches today. I can easily send Digital Touch messages to her, she always gets them. When she sends to me though, I never get them. I do get messages and so on, but never Digital Touch.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

My fiancée and I were having the same issue. I could send her messages but I never received the ones she sent even though I could receive sketches from a friend. We managed to resolve it by changing the email address new iMessage conversations are started from on her phone in the phone settings app. She changed it to the one that matched her Apple ID login rather than her @icloud.com address.
Hope this fixes it for other people too!

Can send picture msgs but suddenly cant receive them

i have blackberry and can send picture msgs but within past weeks cant receive pict msgs.
spoke w verizon they said check w people sending msg and their resolution. but i have been able to receive pict msgs in the past

I have read your post and understand you are unable to receive picture messages. On your device you will want to power it off and remove the battery. Once the device is powered back on dial *228 and press send. Once provided the options, select option 1 to re-program your device. This should fix the issue of not being able to receive picture messages. You will also want to make sure the picture message does not exceed file size limit. The file size limitation is based on the megapixels of the camera on the device.
