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:

Hope this helps!

  • I have an iphone 5 and cannot send email, server refused user...

    I have an iphone 5 and cannot send email away from home. It works fine at home over my home WiFi. But when away from home on Verizon wireless if I send an email I get an error: "the server refused user >Personal email address deleted< your message has been added to drafts". What do I need to do to fix this? My wife has the same problem with her iphone 5.

        Hi Jwhitt
    Rats! Emails should work on our network!  Let's get this fixed. It may be the way the email is set up on your device. Here's an awesome link on apple's site to help you: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1288908?start=0&tstart=0 If that doesn't fix the problem I would recommend reaching out to road runners site. They normally have email set up walkthrus.

  • I have restored my phone to factory settings and took out my sim card

    I have restored my phone to factory settings and took out my sim card how do I know it has erased everything?  i am going to be giving it away so I want to be sure this is done right.  When I turn on my phone it now asks what language and so Im pretty sure I did it right. Any thoughts??

    Then they're gone for good, if they're not in your backup.
    This is why is is STRONGLY recommended to use your phone as Apple intends:  synch your contacts with a contact manager program on your computer or with a cloud service, and import your photos taken by the iPhone to your computer as soon as possible.

  • Hi, it's my first time to add an item in my cart and saved it, but haven't checked it out yet. Does that mean I will already be charged for the item?

    No. Not until you check out.

  • I'm unable to browse my recently uploaded photos to choose one for ebay, because they are automatically in an event.  How do I download those onto ebay?

    Recently I am unable to select photos while posting on ebay.  In the past, I would click on "Browse"; all photos from the last12 months would appear for me to be able to "Choose", and the photo(s) would appear ready to be uploaded in my ad. Now I ee my recently downloaded photos from my camera are going into "Events" which I did not designate.
    Therefore, I am unable to choose my photo to be downloaded on ebay, because they are in "Events".  Why is this?
    Thanks for any help.

    Since iPhoto '08 photos ahve been in events - prior to that they were in rolls - same as events but with a different name

    I have an ipad2 that has ios4.3.5 that I'm trying to update to iOS 6. I'm not able to update because of unidentifiable apps.  I'm assuming that these are apps I tried to get but couldn't open because I needed iOS 5 or higher. These apps are still in my app store always needing updates, but I can't open or update because I don't have iOS 5.  I can't delete them either because they can't be opened or aren't on my screen to hold/let wiggle/X.  I need to remove these apps, but can't figure out how. Please someone tell me how

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
    Tip 2 - If you are updating using wifi, locate your iPad close to your router so you don't get a wifi dropout (can cause update corruption).

  • Downloaded a program and now all of my programs are in adobe reader and I cannot open them because they are not supported for Adobe reader

    When I downloaded a program, it wouldn't open, so I tried to convert it to Adobe reader, now my main browser, Firefox is in the Adobe reader program with others and i can't close Adobe reader, and I can't open any of the other files because they cannot run in Adobe.

  • HT201303 Has anyone experienced being a victim of GNU Emacs Api Emulations hacking thru URL's - Feeds - Email - Redirect - Data Scrabling and more? We are unable to stop them because they are super users. They come back and do more damage. Help Please.

    We have been compromised within our businesses from an empolyee that was terminated with GNU Emac Api enulation program that has infiltrated all of our brand new Apple Computers. We made a decision to move to Mac's this year because of all our businesses being internet based and we are in several different platforms that require many different passcodes, email address, bank accounts, etc. It is not one seamless system that would address one email, password, bank account, etc.
    Eacy time we change one segment of our business unit to move to the next one to fix, we go back to check the previous one that we changed and they have already been in the accounts and changed them so that we have to redo them.
    The information is so broad and wide that the only way I know to ask this first questions - has anyone had this happen to them? We have seeked many avenues with law, experts, reformating our 2 momth old systems 2-3 times each and start over. They are the super users of this program and we can not get them out by changing passwords, accounts, etc. They have everything we do and make sure they keep changing it as we work on the next segment. They have cost our small business thousands of dollars already.
    I am a victim of something that even the local forenic authority is stumped because they don't know where to start. We are not a banking instutition or 100 million dollar company to get the help we need. We don't want to find hackers like they have done to us, we want to get them stopped and get us back on track to start getting our businesses rebuilt.
    Lots of stuff, but WE ARE BEGGING for HELP.
    Apple Support today spent 3 hours with us on the phone and our suppot representative was awesome, but they also said it was big and we need to reach out to the Apple community to see if they heard of anything like this crime. They are in the URL's, RSS Feeds and ghosting everything we do.
    I was told by our local Mac support that this was done by someone that was highly sophicated and they did not know many people that could do this type of damage. I can't image that someone in the Apple community would not know of someone that can assist. The one security company we contacted was around $25,000 to fix this aweful crime.
    We just want them stopped and put in jail so we can go back to business before it destoys us completely.  They even installed emacs on all of our Iphone and androids. WE are being taped, video recorded and eery key stroke is recored. They are only taking us down in middle America.
    Anyone have any ideas? Thank you.

  • How do I stop the downloading of ALL 11 EPISODES of Downton Abbey?   I can't watch any of them because they are frozen in PROCESSING.

    I purchased Season 3 from iTunes and "downloaded" it.  When I went to watch them, I found they were not fully downloaded, but just a small bit of each episode.  As if each was holding a place for the rest of the episode to be downloaded.
    I started watching these, but after each episode, it is as if the iPad info-structure rearranges itself.  My GENERAL settings tell me I've used next to none of my 5 GB storage space.  But when I try to watch a second episode, it tells me I have run out of space.  A few times I was able to find a page that I could EDIT &amp; DELETE the episodes i had already watched.  So I deleted the earlier episodes and was able to finish downloading the next one.  At an agonizingly slow pace.   It took at least half an hour to download a 47 minute video.
    Now I can't find the setting page where I was able to EDIT and delete the episodes I have seen.  I have been reading the iPad Secrets Manual, trying to find out what is going on.  Not the free LITE manual, but the paid manual.  It should have been called the LITE manual, as it barely skims the surface.  I have probably messed up my settings trying to figure out what is eating up my hard drive and battery.
    Can anyone recommend a good manual that is written for a new Apple user - one that is not written in geek speak.  And can anyone suggest how I can get these to finish downloading?

    Thank you

    If you are seeing 5 gig of storage, then are you looking at Settings > General > Usage > Available (in the iCloud section) ? If you are then that shows how much space that you have available in the cloud, not on the actual iPad (TV shows don't use any of your iCloud allowance).
    How much space do you have available on your iPad - it should be shown at at top of Settings > General > Usage, and in Settings > General > About > Available. It looks like the Downton Abbey episodes vary between about 1.8 and 2.7 gig each in HD format, 500 to 800 meg in SD format.
    To delete an episode from a series, then select the series on the TV Programmes screen in the Videos app and if you swipe across the episode's name you should get a Delete button appear on it. If they are stuck in the Downloads tab in the iTunes store app and you want to delete them to stop them downloading, then try swiping across the name of it in that tab and see if you get a Delete button

  • Thunderbird adds " and characters to my email addresses from my address book, and then can't send them because they are unrecogniseable, how do I stop it?

    If I click a contact in the contact payne of a write window, it comes up in the To: place as <" joeblogs"@talktalk.com> for example. Even though in the address book it is [email protected] When I try to send the email, it comes back as an unrecogniseable address and is not sent. If I remove the <""> characters by hand ,it works. What am I doing wrong? Please help!

    Thank you Matt, I think the problem is solved. I must have been in the habit of putting a space before the email address, one I removed them the "" were removed, The <> still surrounds the email address on the outgoing mail but that is to differentiate the address from the friends name. Thanks.

  • I have an iPhone 5 and after changing email addresses am having syncing issues with Outlook.

    My calendar syncs from my computer to my iPhone but not from my iPhone to my computer.  It used to sync both directions.  I'm guessing the same is true of contacts.  I've gone through all the tabs in iTunes.  The calendars are checked properly but I can't find anywhere to say update information on computer using information of the iPhone.  I fell like that used to be an option.  I've tried restarting everything to no avail.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

    And I forgot to mention I have just changed email addresses so with the old email it was all working then with the new email I'm only functioning one direction.

  • My iphone 4 went something wrong please help me, when i try to re start my i phone 4 the light didn't totally turned black. and when i took out my sim card i can see the light inside, what should i do to turned on back again

    Some please help me. I tried to re start my iphone 4, but it went something wrong. instead of it turned black and tunred on again. it like a gray color. When i took out my card i can see the light inside it. what should i do turned it back on again..

    At the AT&amp;T store. Tried using iCloud but only 120 songs were transferred and when I access my iTunes account now it only shows 120 and not the 450 anymore that I purchased on my old phone. Tried to sync again from the phone to iTunes and it still not working.
    I purchased everything under the same apple ID account I called apple support and spent almost 2 hours with tech support for assistance and we got disconected and they never called me back.
    I'm at the point where I'm about to never purchase anything anymore from apple go to another company retrieve every single charge made on my bank account from iTunes and file a law suit against the company. It's being a week that I called for assistance and no one called me back to help me with this matter even after I responded a survey with a complaint about not getting a resolution to my problem.
    If you could please help me I will appreciate, I'm out of the country now and can't stay on the phone for a long time.
    I need to sell my old phone but as right now besides all my bank statements the old phone is the only evidence that I purchased the songs.

  • If an Iphone4s is stolen, and the person took out my SIM card and restored it to factory settings, can my service provider still track it? I don't know my IMEI number if that is needed

    someone stole my friend's Iphone4s today, and I want to know if it can be traced if the person took out the SIM card and restored it. I also want to know if her service provider can block the phone from use if there is no SIM in there and it is restored. thanks.

    It cannot be traced. The service provider can block registration of the phone if it is a US carrier based on the IMEI. If you have the serial number Apple can tell you the IMEI. However, many stolen phones are shipped to other countries, where IMEI blocking for phones from other countries may not be honored. And a sophistcated thief or fence can change the IMEI.
    If your friend did not have a passcode lock on the phone they should immediately change all passwords for email, twitter, facebook, bank sites - essentially anywhere that they use a password. Even if the phone had a passcode lock it is safer to change the passwords.
