I cannot send and recieve text messages to a straight talk phone

When i  send a text message to a phone on straight talk, i get the error that "it is not registered with iMessage". I can communicate with this phone with my iPhone with no problem. how do i register? and why? My iPad is only using Wifi and has no cellular service, but communicates great with an iphone.

The iPad doesn't do SMS text messges which are necessary to send messges to a regular phone.

  • Cannot send and receive text messages

    (1) My 4S cannot send text message using SMS/MMS, have to use iMessage. Without WiFi signal, I cannot even receive incoming text messages, unless I have to turn on Cellular Data all the time.
    (2) I cannot send picture message using SMS/MMS, have to use iMessage.

    Here is the 2nd question.
    If there is no WiFi available and Cellular Data is OFF, I cannot send picture using SMS/MMS with iPhone 4S. SMS/MMS works for me to send picture message when I use basic phone.
    You need the Cellular Data ON to send MMS messages.  SMS messages should be able send and receive with out the cellular data on.

  • Cannot send or recieve text messages through Ford Sync system since latest O.S. update 10.3.1.1779

    My Blackberry Classic easily connected to my Lincoln's Sync system. I was able to receive and send text messages through the Sync. Since the latest O.S. update, I can no longer connect sms services through Sync.
    Should I restore to previous O.S.?

    Yes my particular issue is not like yours. However, there have been many other laptop users experiencing similar problem to yours after 3.10 kernel. Mostly it seems to be bumblebee users that experience your problem with the blank screen. We do know that nvidia have yet to make their official drivers work with kernel 3.10 and up. The drivers in the Arch repository have been patched to work with 3.10. From what I have seen, this also only seem to be affecting laptops with newer nvidia gpu's. I fear there is not much to do with this problem until nvidia give official 3.10 kernel support.
    My suggestion would be to stick with 3.9.9 kernel and the drivers that work with it, and don't upgrade those packages until nvidia has addressed these issues. If you have a look at the nvidia forums you will see quite a number of topics mentioning black screen when starting x on 3.10 kernel, and also a thread for the system dying. Reading some of the threads there may help you keep up to date on whether or not the issue seem to be solved.

  • Can't send or recieve text messages via WiFi

    I have a Galaxy S4 and live in a black hole; little or no cell service. If I go outside I might get one bar.  This is not my issue though, as I'm used to this and have a land line.  However, I would like to be able to send and received text messages via WiFi on my phone.  But I get a message that there is no service available, even though I have WiFi enabled and have a good WiFi signal.  How can I get my phone to use WiFi for sending and receiving text messages at home?

    Text messages go through the voice cellular network not wifi.
    You might want to check out a third party messaging app that uses data either cellular or wifi to send messages.

  • Iphone 4 cannot send or receive text message

    I just got my iphone 4 yeaterday. Everything works fine except for the text messages. I can make and receive call, but cannot send or receive text messages. Does anyone have this problam?
    After I hit "send", it sounds message sent successfully, but my friend did not get it. Also I asked my friend to send one to me, nothing!

    it's a software issue... a lot of customers are having all kinds of issues with their new iPhone 4. But, don't be dismayed, there may be a way to fix it.
    some ideas is trying going to settings -> general -> rest -> then tap on "Rest Network Settings". This will then rest all the of network settings, and hopefully fix transmitting and recieving issues that you may have with your iPhone.

  • Cannot send or recieve texts

    Hello, I recently added a couple of people to my unlimited talk and text account. We had devices already and yesterday they were activated.  They cannot send or recieve texts.. the phones have been powered down mulitiple times (one is an android  (samsung Galixy S and teh other is a samsung SCH-U300 I believe)
    anyone esle run into this.
    Teh plan that these folks had prior to being added to mine did not include text messaging (yes, it was old)

        I can understand the concern for the issues your lines are having with text messaging tonys555. SuzyQ is correct. If porting was a factor it can affect the functionality of the phones until the port is completed. Its important to ensure both phones are off an only your verizon phone is on while the port is being completed. If you continue to have issues please contact us so we can trouble-shoot your issue.

  • Since updating to iOS 6 I no longer can hear the send and recieve text sounds when texting

    Updated to IOS 6 yesterday and now I am having trouble hearing the text "swoosh" or whatever it is called while in a converstation the sound you hear when you send one or recieve one. Also when my phone is switched to vibrate mode when I receive a text message all my phone does is light up and it dosn't not vibrate which stinks cuz if it is my pocket I don't know if I'm getting a text message. I went into the message settings to try and set a vibrate tone for when recieveing a text and It won't even vibrate when I click on an option or click to create my own vibration pattern. My phone still however vibrates when I recieve an email or when someone calls me ect.... just not on texts and no sound when in a text conversation as in sent and recieved sounds. My sister, and both my parents updated to IOS 6 yesterday and they are having not probems of any sort? Anyone else have this problem and know of a solution? Ive already tried resetting my phone thinking maybe it was a glitch but still have the same problems.

    I figured out my problem...... I have custom text tones set up for certain ppl and had the default text tone set to "none" well with the iOS6 update it made it so if your default text tone is set on "none" then you won't hear what I call the send and recieve text sounds when in a converstation... if you change the default text tone to any text tone other than "none" you will get your send and recieve sounds back.... kinda annoying if you don't won't random texts from ppl waking you up... so I made a custon text tone that is called silence with just recording a few seconds of dead noise then edited it and turned all the sound levels down to 0 and set that as my default text tone.... now I have the send and recieve text sounds in a conversation and everything is fine! Sorry Nehucskter the first time I had this problem thats the first thing I did was reboot my phone.... first thing you do for everything lol....
