I cannot send a text message to anyone with an android phone. Any suggestions?

I just got an iphone. I cannot send a text message to anyone with an android phone. I have tried turning imessage off and also wifi off. Any other suggestions? Most of my family including my husband currently have android phones and I need to be able to talk to them. I can send messages to iphones and ipads but not their phones. What can I do??

I don't see the "Start new conversation from:" I spent 1 hour and 40 minutes last night on the phone with Verizon. We completely reset the phone after backing it up to icloud. His conclusion was I need a new SIM card and I will not be able to go take care of that until tonight. I don't know if that will fix it or not but that is what he said...

  • Upgraded to  new samsung galaxy s4 from a I phone 4 and I can't receive text messages from anyone with an I phone.

    I upgraded to a new Samsung Galaxy S 4 from an IPhone 4 and I can't get text messages from anyone who has an IPhone.

    Speak with an AppleCare advisor either over the phone or by chat.
    They will remove your phone number from the iMessage system. That's it! Otherwise after 45 days your phone nymber will automatically be removed from the system. Now or later, it's your choice.

  • I cannot send out text messages

    I cannot send out text messages - I can receive them - cannot send them to a contact.
    This contact has a multiple contacts ranging from gmail to facebook.  I deleted all the contacts and now the contact can receive my text messages.
    I noticed a small x in a circle to the right of the contact's name. A red x in a circle would appear and say my text messages not sent. I would resend - nothing changed. 
    Does anyone know why this happens and how I can fix the contact so I can text without getting these messages.
    The contact is not blocking me by the way - it is my spouse LOL
    Thank you

    Thanks to draya06 for your response.
    Please try deleting all text messages from this person and resend. Do you have a signature on your outgoing text messages? If so please remove the signature and retry. If these don't work please PM me and we will further troubleshoot this issue.
    Thank you

  • I cannot open a video in my ipad with extnsion .wlmp. Any suggestions?

    I cannot open a video in my ipad with extnsion .wlmp. Any suggestions?

    Just as we know Windows Live Movie Maker .wlmp file is not a valid video file but a movie project file from which a video file can be generated in Windows Live Movie Maker and this .wlmp project files cannot be opened and played by any media players like VLC, QuickTime, iTunes, iPod, iPad, iPhone or uploaded to YouTube, Facebook for sharing, let alone to play WLMP on Mac.
    Though we can reopen this WLMP files in Windows Live Movie Maker on a Windows PC and then save and export the .wlmp project files to WMV video format, we are still unable to play the exported WMV on Mac. For WMV is also not compatible with Mac devices. (Exception: Windows Live Movie Maker 2012 can export WLMP to MP4, in this case, we can played the exported WLMP MP4 files on Mac)
    In order to play .wlmp files on Mac QuickTime, iTunes, iPad, iPod, or edit WLMP files in iMovie, Final Cut Pro, Final Cut Express, we have no other choices but to convert WLMP to MP4, MOV, or MP3.
    The following will describe a step by step guide on how to convert WLMP to MP4, MP3 or MOV at How to Convert WLMP to MP4 to Play WLMP files on Mac, iMovie, iTunes?

  • Cannot send group texts/messages or voice texts.

    I just bought my iPhone 6 Plus on December 27.  Starting today for some reason, I cannot send group texts (iMessages or SMS texts) or voice texts.  Please advise.

    This doesn't really help me as much; I know how to send texts, and I am able to do so to individuals.  It's just that I can't get group texts to go through.  I have service and am sending to both iPhone users and non-iPhone users.  Interestingly enough, a moment ago a particularly long text I tried to send to an individual non-iPhone user was not delivered.  Does anyone know if there is some lingering issue with messaging on the iPhone 6 Plus?  I have the latest iOS software update.

  • HT3529 I cannot send a text message to one specific friend when they have iMessage turned off. It should go through as a text message instead of an iMessage but they never receive it. It only happens with this one person and I can receive, but not send.

    Please help! I can't send a text message to one specific friend of mine when he has iMessage turned off. I can receive his texts, but he never receives mine. Both are iPhones, obviously, different carriers which shouldn't matter. Neither of us got new phones. MMS is on. All if a sudden it just happened. No major changes other than him turning iMessage off, due to a nosy brother who shares his iPad. What am I missing??

    I do have SMS on. What else could it possibly be?

  • In my wife's iPad she cannot send a text message to an Android user, but I can on mine.  Both use the same 8.1 iOS.  When she types in the addressee name it comes up in red and will not allow "send."

    How do you send a text message to an Android user via Messages?  My wife and I both have iPads running 8.1 iOS.  When she types in the addressee name it appears in red (not in mine).  Then she is not allowed to send.

    There are a lot of posts in the forums today with people having problems with iMessage.   There was also a published outage yesterday, so it's possible there are still some issues that may be impacting you both.
    I would just wait it out - I'm sure it will be sorted out soon.

  • I have downloaded ios7 and a little while later I cannot send a text message to another iphone

    I recently downloaded ios7 and then the second download and after a couple of days I can no longer send a text message to another iphone

    If it was not sent, it is possible that you prevented it from being sent. However, if it made it to the Apple server before it tried sending as a SMS, it is very possible it still could be sent. In my opinion, I would say no.

  • The Air Drop Icon is not available.  Cannot send or receive messages from anyone not using Messenger.

    I have checked to see that my iPad is using the latest software available and it is.  I have followed on-line directions to access Air Drop, but I do not have the Icon for it anywhere.
    I am not able to send or receive messages to anyone not using Messenger.  Thee Apple page says I should be able to.
    Any help appreciated.

    Yes, it is 2 questions. 
    My iPad is Model MC763LL/A - I hope that is the answer!  I do have Blue Tooth on.  I am not connected to WiFi, but am on Cellular Data here.  That should not have a bearing on the icon being loaded, should it?

  • I set up my daughter ipad mini. Now she cannot send out text messages.

    I set up my daughter's ipad mini. Now she can't send out text messages.

    1. Messages on the iPad can only be sent to other iDevices
    2. They must also be registered with iMessage
    Note: The two above conditions must be met.

  • IPhone cannot send broadcast text messages?

    I could not send a text message to multiple recipipents at once. Anybody knows a way to do this?
    This is not looking good as I tend to send messages to a group of people everytime.

    Please see this thread:

  • IPhone 4 cannot send international text messages

    I have an iPhone 4. Since day one that I bought the phone, I have not been successful to send international text messages. The procedure for sending an international text message is simple: enter 011, followed by the country code, and then the phone number. It has never worked. Each time, I get the following error message -- "Message Send Failure". Any ideas for fixing this problem?
    What surprises me most is that I have an HTC Trophy with the same Mobile Service provider. No problem exists with the HTC Trophy for sending international text messages.

    I never had problems sending international text since my first 3g iPhone and neither with the 4. The only problem is that international txts are too expensive, I recommend you to use Skype or other app that can send texts.
