I cannot send a text unless it's iMessage

I cannot send a text to anyone unless it is an iMessage. To clarify I can receive texts from everyone but can only respond to those who iMessage. What is going on?? I have an iPhone.

We'll help you figure this out, sunsmileyjess!
It's possible that there's a setting causing you to be unable to send. Please go to Settings>Messages>Send as SMS, and be sure this is turned on. Keep us posted, and let us know if this resolves your concern!

  • 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

    This started in December and all of a sudden, I cannot get my brothers replies to m text message even though he is getting mine. The only way for me to get his messages is if I have on my wifi..
    Which implies you are using iMessage and not SMS as SMS does not work over Wi-Fi.
    Are you having issues getting iMessages from anyone else?

    Genius, you are NOT addressing Apple here and throwing a tanturm is unlikely to get you any real help.

  • Delete texts then cannot send any texts after.

    When I delete my text messages (whether it be one text or all) I can't send another text after. My iMessage turns off and cannot be turned back on. So neither iMessages or SMS messages send. I have an iPhone 4 with the iOS 7 update.

    Hi,
    this sounds very odd.
    Have you tried to check the mobile network settings (automatic provider search etc...)?
    Can you test the BB with another SIM card e.g. from your family or frinds?

    A wet phone is out of warranty. This is considered user damage. Even if you were able to get it to start now, the chances of it working for long are slim. I suggest going to Apple and see about an OOW replacement. One for the iPhone 4 is only $149USD and it would come with a short warranty. It is a refurbished device and you would not be worried about encountering additional problems.

  • 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...

  • I have an iphone5 and cannot send group texts.

    Hoping for advice please. I have an iphone5 and cannot send group texts, it will only deliver if I send the text individually.
    I cannot send photos via text message and if someone sends me a photo or long text it comes through to my e mail. Why?
    Please help, I think they may all be connected.Thank you.

    I've noticed that this only happens when one or more of the recipients I enter has an iphone and at least one of the others does not. The system seems to fail when it tries to send an SMS text message and an iMessage. The frustrating thing is that I don't get a chance to try to just send all as SMS texts instead.
    The only way I found to get around this problem is to make sure that I send to two separate groups, one group with iPhones and another without. Two separate messages isn't ideal, and searching for who has an iphone and who doesn't is a pain, but... until they fix it, I'm afraid this is our only option.

  • 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.

  • How to send a text message instead of imessage on Mac and Ipad iOs 8.1?

    My iphone 6 Plus, ipad mini 2 and MBA on OSX Yosemite are all linked together under the same wireless network. However when i send a message on my Mac to my friend who is using an iphone, default sending is via imessage. How can i choose to send a text message instead of imessage? WHy? because sometimes my friend is not online. So i need to send a text message that my messages are received real time.

    Hey there ipremacha,
    It sounds like you need to enable Text Message Forwarding on your iPhone for your iPad to send MMS/SMS messages through your phone.
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity
    Go to Messages > Text Message Forwarding, and enable the device(s) you would like to forward messages to.
    Your Mac, iPad, or iPod touch will display a code. Enter this code on your iPhone to verify the SMS feature.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • If I sent an iMessage, then it told me it didn't deliver so I pressed send as text then I turned iMessage off.. When I turn it on will it re send the iMessage that was undelivered or not?

    Turn off iMessage and Facetime. Put phone on airplane mode. Turn on iMessage then facetime and retry sending. You can also try turning off your phone instead of airplane mode as well.
    Make sure for imessage to work there must be data such as cellular data on or wifi.
