    SMS is a cellular carrier function.  Contact your cellular carrier and make sure you are correctly set up with an SMS plan.

  • How to auto forward sms texts from iphone to iphone?

    I just got the new iphone 5 for work... which is great, but it means that I will be carrying around my personal iphone 4 and the new iphone.  I would like to get this down to just one iphone, so can I auto forward my texts from iphone to iphone?  Is there an app for that... and, if so, what is it?
    Thanks!

    Not sure if Google Voice will do that or if one of the TextFree apps will...but you can check those out and see if they meet your needs.

  • Can I send and recieve texts from a skype #?

    I am thinking about signing up for a skype # but only if i people can reply back to my texts from skype. Currently, when i send someone a text from skype (without a skype #), i dont believe i can receive a reply anywhere. Does having a skype number resolve this?

    Hi, enyc, and welcome to the Community,
    No.  A Skype Number only provides a way for people who do not use Skype to reach you on Skype.  That's it.
    You would receive reply SMS messages on your mobile phone.

  • Cant Send SMS Text from iPhone

    I cant send any SMS texts.  I can send iMessages and MMS (pictures), so when i want to text a non-iphone user i have to text, let it fail to deliver, then take a screenshot of this and send screenshot pic to the person.

    Manual cutting of a SIM is always a risk, as you have witnessed. It is best to get a SIM directly from your carrier that is designed for your particular model of the phone. That eliminates these types of problems.

  • New Iphone can't send or receive texts from non-Iphone contacts

    Okay Verizon, you finally convinced me to get a smartphone so I can text, etc. Now I find that only other Iphone users  can get my text messages. This is very annoying. My family members are Verizon and other carriers, Iphone and Droid users but I find that only some can receive or send me messages. What is up with this?

    That is because you are not sending texts, but iMessages. iMessage is an Apple proprietary messaging system which DOES NOT utilize SMS, but instead chooses to send messages counted against your data allowance. iMessage is ALSO only available to Apple phones.
    Go into your settings > messages > make sure that the box is checked to send as SMS if iMessage is not available is checked. This way, when your iPhone cannot send an iMessage to a contact, it will send an SMS.
    Personally, I think you should completely disable iMessage and only send SMS messages. With Verizon, most plans now include unlimited texting and an allowance for data. If you use iMessage, these messages will count against your data allowance where these same messages sent as SMS would not since you most likely have unlimited texting on your account.
    Good luck.

  • I can't send or receive text from non-Iphone

    This just started happening last week.

        That's definitely strange, bigbadscharfy. We're here to help get all texts coming and going. Let's start w/ the basics! Have you checked under Settings>Messages> Is Send as SMS checked on? This can help send out messages as regular texts and not iMessages. Do you receive any error messages when the texts dont go out or receive?

  • New owner of a Z10 Can't send an SMS text

    My wife and  i have newly acquired Z10's, using release 10.2.1.2976.  We are completely unable to send SMS texts using addresses out of our address books.
    Two things hapopen: 1. at the lower right corner the screen does not say "SEND" it says "SUBMIT"
    2. We bot get the error meg "This contact address is invalid"
    What is going on?
    I have a clear impression from this forum that there are lote of text problems with the 10, but i have not seen this exact one
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I guess the obvious question is, do you have your Verizon SIM card in the device? In the past, Verizon has not required SIM cards, they do now on the Z10.
    At the top right of your home screen, do you have a signal with Verizon? 3G, 4G, or what?

  • IPhone can't send/receive photo texts from non-iPhone users

    I've noticed a lot of other people with this same problem and so far nobody has a solution. I've tried resetting my iPhone 4 and was on the phone for an hour with AT&T last night to see if it was a problem on their end as someone else had mentioned. Nope. Basically, I can't receive any photos through text messaging (MMS) and I can't send any photos through text messaging with anyone who doesn't have an iphone. I used to be able to. Not anymore. Doesn't matter if I'm on wi-fi or cellular. I've checked to make sure I've got MMS on. I do. I've reset network settings, we've even switched radio towers to try that. Nothing.
    Can someone help?

    I'm with AT&T IOS 6 and have no issue with MMS.
    if that link doesn't help, call AT&T back and talk to a supervisor, as messaging is carrier related.  Also make sure you have MMS turned on.

  • Move SMS texts from iphone 3g to Iphone4

    Morning all. A nice delivery man has just brought me a shiney new Iphone4 which I would like to fill up with my old previous SMS text messages. The rest of the stuff I can sync without an issue. Is there any way of copying the data from one to the other?
    Cheers Simon

    I had an iPhone 3GS and wanted to transfer my SMS's  to my new iPhone 4
    I saw all the above methods
    Sorry to say but all are very confusing
    so I found this
    Extremely simple and easy method to solve (The SMS Transfer) issue
    I wanted to share with the community
    well here it goes
    Step One : Backup both your iPhones
    Step Two : Search and download iTools for iPhone free download (for PC or MAC)
    Step Three : Open itools & plug in your iphone 3GS
    Step Four : Your iPhone will be detected & all details would be displayed on the left Panel
    Step Five : Click on File Sytems
    Step Six : On the right Panel click on filesystem (Jailbreak)
    Step Seven : Go to filesystem/user/ library/sms
    Step Eight : On the far right panel, you will see some very important folders and files
    Step Nine : Simply Select All, Right Click and copy em in a new Folder may be on the desktop                     (Name it iPhone 3GS SMS)
    Step Ten : Disconnect iphone 3GS and connect iPhone 4
    Step Eleven : Repeat the steps from Five to Nine (Only copy them in a new folder and name it                      iPhone 4  SMS. (Note : We dont need these files n folders, but just in case                            something goes wron, we can replace them back)
    Step Twelve : Copy the files n folders from the directory on the desktop named iPhone 3GS SMS
                         and paste the in the iphone 4 here (the program will ask wether to replace                             existing files n folders, in some chinese lingo, but u can see Y and N on each                           buttons so click on the left (Y)
    And thats about it, You are done, As simple as that, All the SMS on the iPhone 3GS are transfered on the new device.
    Screen Shot Attached for your reference
    Caution : This worked like a charm for me, but it may not be the same for everyone so just in case anything goes wrong you can replace the previously saved files n folders in iPhone 4 SMS directory back. I am very clear, I am not responsible for any loss or damage, Do at your own risk. 

  • I can't send photos through text on iPhone 4s

    It used to be able to send photos through text and now I keep getting the exclaimation point that it did not send. Both my Wifi and Data are working, I tried it through both. Any one else having this problem?

    I'm having the same exact problem. I'm using the original iPhone 4 and it refuses to send or recieve picture messages ever since I've upgraded the OS earlier today. The network is fine and theres no problem with the hardware, it just cancels sending the message right after I hit the send button. People who have tried sending me pictures report saying that the massage appears to send just fine on both iPhones and other phone brands, yet it never goes through. It appears there's a bug in the new operating system, and I hope it gets fixed soon. I'm surprised a bug this big went unnoticed.

  • HT201229 Can't send or receive texts from just one contact.

    I have not blocked my friend from sending text messages, nor has he blocked me.  Why can't we text each other? 

    Since SMS is a carrier feature, not a phone feature, have either of you contacted your respective carriers to insure no problems on the carrier end?

  • Can I send and receive texts from my iphone 4?

     I updated my Touchpad to webOS 3.0.4 and was able to sync my Touchpad and iphone 4 via bluetooth. I was able to set up the telephone calling part of the tether. What I am trying now to do is making the touchpad compatible with the phone for texting. I have read that it can now be done but nowhere can I find HOW to do it. Is it possible? If so, what do I need to do?
    Thanks,
    Joe
    Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

    The answer is no, but not because of anything to do with the webOS. This feature uses a brand-new Bluetooth profile called MAP (Messaging Access Profile) and many devices have not implemented support for it yet. I took a quick look on the Apple support pages and found this article that lists the supported Bluetooth profiles. As you can see, MAP is not listed which means syncing SMS messages will not work on your iPhone.

  • Can't send or receive texts on iPhone 5c

    I used to be able to send texts to some people, but not others.  Now after extensive reading and searching online over the last week, I have turned iMessage off, have MMS Messaging turned on, have reset network settings, restarted phone numerous times, turned off iMessage on my MacBook, have data roaming one, verified and changed numersou settings..........., and I can send no text messages at all.  Help!

    Just had a very helpful VZW chat with Natasha. She had me turn wi-fi off and power phone down. She reset some things on her end.  Powered on, texted to myself, didn’t work.  Powered down again, she did some more things, powered up, texted and it worked!
