I cannot send iMessages to all of my friends. They are being sent as text messages. Is it my phone's fault?

Please Help.

It may be an issue at Apple's end. Check the link below.

  • My wife and I have been texting on our iPhones. All of the sudden all messages are being sent as text. We cannot seem to make the iMessage work.

    Your question is almost too much a personal one, begging the question "do we (husband and wife) feel comfy sharing one account on the Mac"   maybe thats why nobody answered you.
    It doesnt complicate anything, but it adds steps for switching accounts on the Mac/ purchases etc. of course
    since your question is mostly personal, ..I wont answer THAT part of it, but creating a new account is easy.....messing with switching back and forth is also a personal preference 'issue' as well.   I prefer to keep things simple, but...........you and yours,  I dont know.......

  • How do I change the phone number attached to my Icloud? All the codes and stuff are being sent to my old number.

    Hello Babyygrl23,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like your iCloud Apple ID has a phone number associated with it that you would like to update. If this is the case, after signing in to the linked website below, you will see a section on the left side of the screen labeled Phone Numbers. You can edit the phone number associated with that account from there.

  • Imessages are being sent from my email instead of my phone

    When I send iMessages from my iPhone 5S or my Macbook Pro, the recipients say they're coming from my email address and not my phone. How do I rectify this so the messages all come from the iMessage and not email?

    If you have no intention of using iMessage, but have used it in the past, you will have to deregister your number. Then you will have to make sure you have a texting plan on your account. If others have messaged you with iMessage, they will have to remove your contact and any messages from their devices so you are no longer registered on their devices as using iMessage. See this link from Apple. https://selfsolve.apple.com/deregister-imessage

  • My iMessages are being sent from my gmail and not my phone

    I recently had to deal with major software corruption on my phone and ended up having to completely wipe out my phone and start over by manually downloading all my apps and restoring from iCloud. People who are texting me with iMessage are saying my texts are coming from my gmail account instead of my phone. Sometimes it switches and some people say they have 2 different conversations going on with me, one from my phone and one from my gmail account. I don't want this to happen! Sometimes my texts are popping up on my iPad and I also don't want this to happen because my iPad is a work iPad and I don't want my personal texts appearing on my work iPad. I'm thinking that somehow the 2 have become linked since wiping out my phone and I'd like that to stop happening. I also want to figure out why my texts are sometimes being sent from my phone and sometimes from gmail. Any help?

    Hi there,
    I would recommend taking a look at the article below and making sure that your phone number is selected under the "Start new messages from:" section. This wont change any of the conversations that have already been started from you email address, but it will ensure that new conversations are coming from you phone number.

  • I have an Iphone 5 and I'm abroad at the moment. My iMessages keep being sent from my phone number even though I took out my SIM card. My question is, will I be charged for them because they are being sent from my phone number and not my email?

    This might be a stupid question but I'm quite concerned that my phone bill will be sky high because of it.

    Hi mlemonache,
    Here's a blip from the IOS Message support site:
    On iPhone, if iMessage is unavailable, the message may be sent as SMS or MMS, depending on content. Carrier messaging rates may apply. You can adjust this behavior in iPhone at Settings > Messages > Send As SMS. Messages sent using iMessage appear in a light blue bubble, while messages sent using SMS or MMS appear in a green bubble.
    Here is a link to the site:

  • Imessages being sent as SMS messages

    A majority of my text messages are being sent as SMS messages and I get charged for these. I work in an office with Wi-Fi and so does the person I am Texting.
    I don't want to turn off the "Send as SMS" button in fear of not receiving undeliverable messages. What is wrong?
    Many Thanks!

    When imessage is unavailable it will send it as a text message:
    symptoms - user/recipient are in an area where the cellular data or wifi signal is week.
    Or one person has imessage turned off.

  • Cannot send imessage to my wife since she updated to iOS7

    I updated iOS7 yesterday on my iphone. Then my wife updated to iOS7 this morning on her iphone. Since she updated it will not allow us to send imessages. We share an itunes account, but that was never a problem before. When I tried to send as imessages it would come up as "not delivered". Now it sends everything between the two of us as text messages. But we can both send imessages to all the other iphone users on our contact lists.

    On at least one of the phones, go to Settings/ Messages/ Send & Receive and then tap the e-mail address to turn that option off.  That should force the iMessage to be sent to the unique phone numbers of the phones, not the e-mail address that is common between the phones.
    Or alternatively, create a new e-mail address for one of you and select that as the e-mail option to receive at on one of the phones instead of the shared e-mail.

  • I have set up my Yahoo! account to be used as default mail account on iMac. I am receiving messages, but cannot send them.  All settings appear to be right.  What can I do?

    I have set up my Yahoo! account to be used as default mail account on iMac. I am receiving messages, but cannot send them.  All settings appear to be right.  What can I do?

    The problems I am having are when I use Yahoo! with the iMac mail application.  Yahoo works fine on the browser. 
    The outgoing settings I am using are:
    Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): yahoo.co.uk (Offline)
    Description: yahoo.co.uk
    Server name: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
    Use default ports (25, 465, 587)
    Use SSL
    Authentication: Password
    User Name:  ********@yahoo.co.uk
    Password: *************
    Of note:
    I cannot stop it from saying Offline after the outgoing mail server.
    I have used the same settings on my ipad and iphone and that works fine.
    Really grateful if you can help.
    Thanks

  • IMessage Problem: cannot send iMessage to a specific contact!

    So here is the problem:
    It's about 24 hours I cannot send iMessage to a specific contact only! Both of us have access to the internet and both of us can send iMessages to other contacts.
    We have tried rebooting the phone, and turning iMessage on and off.
    If it matters, we both live in Sweden and use different MNOs but still we are both on Wifi and cannot send and receive iMessages.
    Could anyone give me and idea of what to do?!
    Oh..and Apple...your iMessage is reaaaaaaally bougus.. do something about this pile of crap.

    I had this problem with my sister living in Austria and I am in the States and at first I wondered if it was some international problem.
    Are you sure you both have your apple ID's programmed into your contacts? For some reason it wasn't registering my sister's phone number as an iPhone but when I added her apple ID e-mail, it sends fine. I just have to iMessage her to THAT particular e-mail. That's the only way I was able to sort this same problem. iMessaging her to that e-mail works just fine.
    I've iMessaged people in the states before just using their phone number only and not having their apple ID e-mail but with messaging to my sister in Austria, I have to use her e-mail. Wondering if anyone else has this issue with international iMessaging? I've iMessaged someone in Australia before with just their phone number and it worked fine so maybe it's completely random? I don't know. But definitely check and see if you have their apple ID in there in their contact information and try to iMessage them on that. See if it works! It did for me.
