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.
If you'd like to grow up and provide some specifics of the issue we would be happy to help.

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...

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.

Whenever I send a text from my iphone 5 my text messages are appearing on other apple devices in the household.

Whenever I send a text from my iphone 5 my text messages are appearing on other apple devices in the household. ie Iphone 4 and Ipod.
How do I stop this occurring.

You'll have to deselect your phone number on the other devices in Settings/Messages/Receive at/

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

Have you check to make sure the email address is correct?

I have an iPhone 4, upgraded to the latest iOS software. Now, cannot send messages to non-iPhone users. No other settings have been changed. Thoughts?

HT204053 My wife and I have both synced our iphones to the same desktop computer. She recently synced her ipad to the same computer. Now we cannot send messages to each other anymore. any ideas?

By signing up for an apple ID it means she will be able to download her own apps and music and in future redownload if required for free. Ideally it should be the primary email address she uses as you can't transfer purchases etc to another ID.
Photos shouldn't disappear but back them up before hand. These days everyone gets an iCloud.com address so she could use this as her ID. You would need to go to www.apple.com/iCloud from a computer to sign up for this. Bearing in mind you need a mac with lion or mountain lion or a pc with windows vista onward to take advantage of all services like calendar sync and find my iPhone etc.
Otherwise sign up for an apple id with any other email address. You can do this at https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
AND Click on create an apple ID.
the applications linked to your existing apple ID will have to be redownloaded on the other ID but you won't lose them on yours.

" ! Cannot send message - Message has no valid recipient "

Android version 4.4.4
Sony Xperia Z3 Compact
When I use the pre-installed Messaging app I get the following error message for some but not all contacts
" [!] Cannot send message
Message has no valid recipient "
I can't work out what is is about the contacts that results in the error but today I had the error when trying to text to an iPhone and a Blackberry. Just to be clear, some contacts produce that error message every time; some contacts work properly every time.
It's becoming more than a little frustrating and at the moment I'm wondering why did I not just get another iPhone?
Anyway, all suggestions gratefully received...

It gets a bit weirder.
Taking the contact I tried to text earlier:
If I go to the contacts app, and select the messaging icon next to his mobile number, the text message which I compose is sent properly.
If I open the messaging app, select write new message and select his name, the text is not sent and the error message appears.
It's not at all satisfactory.

Cannot Send Message: MMS Messaging needs to be enabled to send an email address

ERROR: iPhone 5 "Cannot Send Message: MMS Messaging needs to be enabled to send to an email address."
DESCRIPTION: When attempting to use my new iPhone 5 (unlocked on T-Mobile) to text to a new iPod email address (on a home WiFi to a Hotmail account), I get the above error message. I am able to send and receive text messages (SMS) to mobile phone numbers. I have iMessage enabled and am using iOS 6.0.2. What is the fix? Thanks.
REQUEST: Apple please produce an iPhone with a five inch screen in order to compete successfully with Samsung.
