I have an iPhone 5s. I can't receive messages from iPhone users it instead goes to my iPad mini.

I have an iphone5s.  I don't receive  iPhone users messages on my phone. It goes directly to my iPad mini.

And then on your iPhone go to settings, messages, and use Apple ID for iMessage.

  • I am having some trouble with receiving messages from iMessage users when I don't have my iMessage turned on. When I called for support, I spent 30 min waiting and the woman's response to me was "Turn on your iMessage." I prefer not to use it

    I have an iPhone 5s and a MacBook Pro. Ever since I updated my computer software to Yosemite, it linked my Apple ID with my phone number and I am not receiving messages from iMessage users on my phone, but rather to my computer. I don't like to use iMessage so I keep it off and would like to receive all messages as SMS texts. I have already tried changing my Apple ID password, logging off of my Apple ID in iMessage on my phone and turning it off, and changing settings on messages on my computer. Nothing is working. Either the messages continue to go to my computer or the messages trying to be sent say they cannot be sent.
    After spending 30 + minutes waiting for technical support, the woman helping me (who did not give me her name) told me I should just turn on iMessage. After explaining that I don't like having iMessage on and asking why it worked for at least a year up until this point she said "things change and sometimes we don't know why things do what they do". She asked me about various other things on my phone such as bluetooth and told me to turn on and off airplane mode and the call disconnected. I have not been contacted since, even though she has my phone number.
    I am hoping for some help and also hoping people don't get the type of service I received tonight.

    I think you can solve your problems by removing your AppleID email address from BOTH the Messages setting on your iPhone and the iMessages settings on your Mac.
    On iPhone:
    Settings > Messages > iMessage > Dissabled
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > touch the "(i)" < touch "Remove This Email"
    On Mac:
    Open "Messages" application
    Click "Messages menu > Preferences
    Click "Accounts"
    Select your AppleID account
    Under the "You can be reached for messages at" settings, uncheck your AppleID email address and your phone number
    Then uncheck the "Enable this account" setting
    And lastly, ask all of your friends with iPhones to delete all iMessage conversations (blue bubbles) in their entirety.
    To test, send a friend a new text using their phone number (not their email address) and watch the color of the bubble.  If it's green then you are using SMS.

  • CAN I RECEIVE MESSAGE FROM MY CELLULAR SERVICE PROVIDER IN MY iPAD MINI CELLULAR ?

    Hi Using iPad,
    Can I receive message from my cellular service provider in my iPad mini cellular?

    I Picked This Username wrote:
    Be aware though..
    If you send an iMessage to an iPhone that isn't using WiFi, they will be charged for receiving the message..
    The same goes with the iPad sending the message: if you are not using WiFi..
    That is incorrect. No cell carrier charges for a message sent by and received by iMessage other than any relevant data charges. The carrier doesn't even know the message is any different from an email message or any other standard Internet traffic. Only if the iPhone was not set up to iMessage and hence receives the message via SMS would there perhaps be a charge, and that will depend on the cell plan. The iPad cannot receive messages via SMS at all so there will never be a charge.
    Regards.

  • I can send messages however i can't receive messages from everyone. only some contacts

    Yes, I already talked about this to my carrier. Do you think it doesn't have any problem with the phone?

  • Can I receive messages from Skype when my ipad is in sleep mode and the app is closed?

    Ok, can I receive messages from Skype when my ipad and iPod touch are off, and the app is closed? Becuase my mom sent me a message and I did nott receive it. I have to have the app running or running in the background to receive messages. Is there a way to recieve messages when my ipad and ipod do NOT have the app running?

    The ipad may keep a connection alive in sleep mode.. but it should only use local connection AFAIK, and no internet content.
    I have a similar setup with iPad and although it has an IP it is not actually reachable on the network. I will track usage and see if it is actually using anything but I would doubt it.
    Now of course it may depend on what apps you have running. I really doubt the ipad will be using that much of your download unless you are watching movies on it.

  • Have a 5S w/ Sprint, can't receive texts from verizon non-iphones!

    Ported a # as of 10/2 from Tmobile to the iphone 5s I received from Sprint.
    Since then I can't receive texts from verizon non-iphones! They
    can see my texts. Googling this, it seems like there's been issues
    like this for other people. Can anyone advise as this is very bad!

    SMS and MMS are carrier features. There is nothing you can do on your phone to fix this. It's either a problem with Sprint, Verizon, or T-Mobile. You've reported the problem to Sprint, that's all you can do. About the only other thing that could be done would be to have somone you know on Verizon who can't send messages to you open a ticket with Verizon.

Is there anything else I should do? Should I just go back to my iphone at this point.. its been over a week. please help extremely frusterated .. thank you!
    Call Apple Support.  They have a procedure that can unregister your Apple ID from iMessage and the phone number, as long as you can still receive regular text messages at the phone number on a non-iPhone.

  • Still can't receive messages from Iphone Users

    Greetings,
    I know there are many topics asking similar questions if it's googled, and I think I have read through almost all of them to no prevail. I know veterans of these boards probably get tired of seeing the same topics, but im desperate and will try to keep it quick. I really appreciate any help.
    I recently upgraded from a 4S to a Galaxy S5 and have not been able to receive messages from Iphone users since. I still have my old Iphone. Here are the steps I've tried:
    1) Ensure "IMessage" is disabled in my old phone
    2) Unregistered my phone number with my Apple ID. I currently have no phone numbers registered with them
    3) Changed my Apple ID Password
    4) Unregistered my Iphone with my ITunes Account.
    5) I also have a Macbook Air and a 2010 model IMac. I have also ensured I am signed out on those devices and my phone number isn't linked in anyway I could find.
    6) I called Apple 3 Days ago and the representitive was very nice and professional but ultimately was incorrect. He advised me that the new IoS7 is more advanced and should check about every 12 hours to see if the user on the other end has an active IMessage account. He said to wait 24 hours just to be safe. He also advised people running older IOS systems could take up to 3-4 days to contact me correctly. Furthermore he said if after that time frame their phones still sent me IMessages instead of SMS then THEY were having problems and should call Apple. I just really doubt that is the case.
    I have tested it out with 5 Iphones now with help from some friends, all running IOS7 and still no luck 3 days after the phone call to Apple.
    7) I tried logging back into IMessage today on my Macbook and it worked, I was still able to send and receive texts from Iphone users. This seems like it should not be possible since it is not linked to my phone number anymore. It is logged into the same Email that I used to have linked to my phone number.
    Now as others have said, If I have them hold down the bubble and send as text message 3 times their phone will remember and keep sending my texts, however that is unreasonable to ask everyone to do. There should just be a way to completely delete your Apple ID. Is there anything I'm possibly overlooking? I really appreciate any help.

    I am right there with you. This describes my problem to a T. Only other issue I am having is group texts. Iphone users who include me in a group text still send as imessages as well, so even if I text them first and they reply, it send as an imessage. Get it together apple.

  • TS5185 i had an i phone now i have  SG4.... i cant receive messages from people with i phones. it shows as i message to them.

    what should i do?

    Hello Jmm02012,
    It sounds like you are not receiving messages from other iPhones after switching to an Andriod device.  I found an article with the steps you will need to take to straighten this out:
    Symptoms
    This article will provide assistance if you're experiencing any of the following symptoms:
    You are unable to receive SMS on your non-Apple device when sent from another person using an iPhone.
    You are unable to send SMS to a non-Apple device because they are sent as an iMessage.
    Resolution
    If you are experiencing one of the symptoms above, the cellular phone number may still be registered with iMessage. iMessage is registered with your cellular telephone number when you turn it on with your iPhone. If you want to deregister your phone number:
    Tap Settings > Messages and turn iMessage off
    If you still cannot deactivate iMessage after you perform the steps above, or if you no longer have access to the iPhone, please contact Apple support for assistance.
    If you don't have access to your old iPhone, you will need to reach out to Apple support for additional assistance.
    You can find the full article here:

  • Can't receive messages from just one group. Can receive messages from each of the individuals in the group separately

    I am not receiving messages from one particular group of people on my phone.  I am receiving other group messages and can receive messages from each person in the group individually.  iPhone 5c.

    I am right there with you. This describes my problem to a T. Only other issue I am having is group texts. Iphone users who include me in a group text still send as imessages as well, so even if I text them first and they reply, it send as an imessage. Get it together apple.

  • Verizon Moto G Can't Receive Messages From Non-Verizon Phones

    I recently had my Moto G activated with a ported number from another carrier. I can make and receive calls, but can only send out text messages. I can only receive texts from friends who also have Verizon. I have dialed *228 numerous times and contacted Customer Support via chat, but to no avail. I still can't receive text messages. Please help!!

    Thank you Snn5. I was thinking it may have to do with the port process. Hopefully it will resolve itself in the next day or two. I appreciate your quick reply and advice.

  • Can't receive emails from Opera user

    Can't receive emails from an Opera user (Linux based)

    I had a problem initially because I was using a Wi-Fi connection instead of the EDGE AT&T network. When accessing my home Wi-Fi, I need to use the smtp settings for my Cox Internet service. (Cox won't let you send mail over their network without using their smtp server.) When I turned off my Wi-Fi on the phone, my emails sent just fine through the .mac server.
    Perhaps there is some kind of similar set up at your location? Did your messages actually send or are they still in your Outbox?
