  • Messages vs Personal Email vs SMS and MMS Text Folders

    Last week, I updated my software for my BlackBerry 8310 on the AT&T network.  I have been having problems with the receipt of emails since.  I seem to been receiving every email twice, once in my personal email folder on the main screen, as well as in the messages folder on the main screen.  I had posted asking for help and received help, which can be read here:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/rim/board/message?board.id=8300&message.id=42082#M42082
    I had separted my emails and text messages into their respective folders, and placed the icons for my personal email and SMS/MMS texts on the main screen.  I then hid the messages folder.  At first, I thought this solved my problem, so I marked the thread as solved.  I then received another email and realized that it was delivered twice, once in my personal email folder and once in the messages folder.  I then had to un-hide the messages folder to delete the email, so that the new email notification would disappear.  I am still in need of help, so that I only receive each email once.  At this point, I don't care what folder it goes to, as long as I don't have to delete the same email multiple times.  Thank you for any help in advance.

    they look like 2 copies, they are not 2 copies, they are the exact same copy, just mirrored in another location, but if you delete one... doesnt matter which one, the other one deletes. what you are experienceing is not new. I have been running 4.5 for 2 months now and it works the same as 4.3
    I receive an email in my gmail icon and my messeges icon, if I delete it in 'gmail', it deletes in 'messages' automatically
    If I delete it in 'messeges' it deletes in 'gmail' automatically

  • Receiving 1 MMS text with ring tones Questions.

    I have a phone that can only have ring tones added via enhanced text (MMS/pics and vid). My questions are:
    1. What is the cost to send 1 of these types of text....does the actual size of the attached ring tones matter?
    2, If the size of files does not matter in regards to cost of this text, what is the maximum amount of kb or mb
       that can be sent in 1 MMS text?   
    I have only sent one of these types of texts via my email account to add 4 ring tones to my phone.  Some of them
    were not loud enough when actually used on the phone.  I would like to add many more to my phone, but want
    to understand the fees I would get if doing so.  I only have the basic $5 monthly text plan feature.  Thanks for your help.

    Thanks SuzyQ
    Ok.....in regards to my $5 text plan:
    I understand that I can send the pics and vids in a text, I just did not know if I would get charged extra data type fees to send a text like that.  No, they are all text, and part of your 250 messages.
    So then on all the 10 possible blocking settings there are.....as long as I have them all blocked except  "Block Picture and Video Messaging",  I will not be charged any additional fees?  Correct.  The only fee would be per message if you went over your 250 message allowance.
    In regards to sending ring tones via a email from my PC to my phone:
    I will get a $0.25 charge fee for every email sent to my phone with the ring tones added ?  No, this is also a text message, and will come in as a picture message.   I am trying not to get any additional fees charged to my monthly service.  (to do this I have to take off the "Block Premium Messaging"  and or "Block All Data Services"  ?  Same settings as above, you can leave the Premium message block on, make sure picture and video messaging is allowed.  Although it's a sound file, the message is treated as a picture message.
    Thanks again for your help.

  • Can't MMS text

    Just set up my iPhone 5S.  I can send iMessages, but SMS and MMS texts that I send are not received.  Ideas??

    The phone, like all 3GS's sold in the US is carrier locked to AT&T.  Contact AT&T to find out if they will unlock it for you.
    FYI, StraightTalk is only a supported carrier for iPhones purchased from StraightTalk.

  • TS2755 When will Apple ever make it convenient for the customer, I just bought an iPad Air and I'm very upset that I can only use iMessage, iPads are the biggest mistake to buy. I'll never buy another if I can text using SMS or MMS

    When will Apple ever make it convenient for the customer, I just bought an iPad Air and I'm very upset that I can only use iMessage, iPads are the biggest mistake to buy if you like texting family and friends. I'll never buy another one if I can't text using SMS or MMS.  Is there any hope for a patch or new operating system to fix this issue, or an app to use with iPad Air

  • I send a group text, and it makes it a MMS text. how do i send a group SMS text?

    when i send a group text out, my phone shows it as a MMS text, which some can't receive. how do i send out a group SMS text?

    See what happens if you go into Settings>Messages and turn off Show Subject Line. Also try turning off Group Messages---you'll still be able to text multiple people at once, definitely, I think it's just that the phone just doesn't thread replies as well (I'm not sure what Group Messages does, really).
    I know that turning off those two settings fixed my friend on a basic Sprint phone getting my plain text messages as MMS, though I don't know whether it's one or both that causes the issue.
    EDIT: Okay, based on this article, Group Messages is like a sort of multiple person chat room, so your recipients can easily reply to all. If you need that, then you can't fix the issue (though the comments show a bunch of ways that could go wrong).

    But you don't need the fancy chat-room feature of Group Messages to send texts to multiple people, so it depends on what kinds of texts you are sending.

  • IPad with wifi only cannot send sms or mms to non apple users. Operating system is 8.1.3

    I am using an iPad 2 with iOS 8.1.3. I was told that with this operating system, I would be able to send sms or mms to non-iso users. I was able to do so when I originally upgraded to 8.1.3, but am no longer able to send. The person's name comes up in red and there is an exclamation point.

    An iPad cannot natively send an SMS. The SMS text protocol sends its data within the voice channel spectrum of a cell phone voice connection. So, only a cell phone can actually send SMS texts, and only over a cellular voice connection.
    If you were doing it before, you must have been using an app. There are apps that will allow you to send SMS texts via cellular providers SMS-email gateways, e.g. as an email to [email protected]

  • Can I recover sms and mms messages if I have never backed up my iphone?

    Hello,
    I am completely new to the Apple family and am having a hard time understanding how the initial backup to iCloud affects my deleted iMessages, SMS, and MMS correspondences. I want to recover a group of SMS and MMS conversations that my toddler deleted...I know...I know - so green I did not even initiate the lock screen. To be honest, we don't lock devices in our home. I have never backed-up/signed into iCloud from my iphone. I keep seeing posts about texts/pic not being "really" deleted as some can find them in a search. Is it possible to recover these at all without using thrid party software? Some part of me believes that becasue I have never backedup my phone, the deleted data is just waiting to be "dumped" into iCloud...maybe that is the illogical and sleep deprived part. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    If you “Synced” your iPhone "SMS" to iTunes and/or backup to the cloud, you may be able to recover messages from an iPhone SIM Card. I use a program called iOS data recovery that will take the text messages from the backup and allow you to restore them and/or back them up to an external application.
    Restore from iTunes backup:
    Step 1: Connect your iPhone to the PC/Mac
    Step 2: Open iTunes
    Step 3: Click on Devices tab
    Step 4: Right-click on the iPhone that’s connected and click ‘Backup’
    Step 5: Note that this will effectively remove all old information on your iPhone and get the backup data on your iPhone. If you had backed up sms too in your previous iTunes backup, those will be restored to the iPhone and you should mostly recover that deleted sms messages now.

  • SMS and MMS cannot display contact name (E51)

    I try to restore a backup file, from my old 3230 and 6670, via Nokia PC Suite into my newly bought E51, everything work just fine.
    But I noticed that the sender of SMS and MMS in E51 [inbox] only display in number(e.g. '+601********'), instead of sender name as in [contacts](e.g. 'Michael'). Even I select the text message, choose [options] > [Add to Contacts] > [Create New]/[Update existing], it won't work, neither with the country code (+601*******) or without (01********). (note: I'm very sure that phone number is not duplicated in the contact).
    Somehow, a good news is, any sms or mms received from the network provider can display the sender name according to [contacts], and it store as it even after I deleted the saved item in [contact] or rename the entry. Ha ha, a bit complicated compare to the S60v2 phone...
    Anyone have idea on this?

    I have a similar problem. Would be grateful for some much needed help, please...
    Hi there,
    my E66 has the exact same problem. IN addition when in coming calls come in, they don't show the contact name. It only shows the number. I think it may hae to do with new contacts added after contacts from your old phone were added. I also notice that my old contacts transferred to the phone doesn't have the extra menu 'syncronisation'.

  • Replying to SMS or MMS sends Re:|

    I have a Nextel Blackberry 8350i. When I reply to sms or mms, it always includes Re before the body of my text. On my friends smartphone (Blackberry bold) it shows Re with the straight face emoticon. Any ideas on how to fix this issue?
    Thanks

    Well I don't know which handset you are using but on N95 and N97 all I do is select new message, option add recipient scroll down the list of contacts and select OK then send message ! Just one thought, in your contacts-options-settings-memory in use . Are you using sim or phone memory, you need to use phone memory for caller ID to work, this could be the problem, but I'm just surmising !!
    Good Luck

  • HELP....why do I keep getting "Not Delivered" errors when trying to send a Group MMS text message?

    I am trying to send a Group MMS text. There are 6 recipients. I hit "send" and the progress bar goes almost to the very end, and then hangs up....and eventually I get a "Not Delivered" error message. I click on the "i" icon and it says "your message was not sent. Tap try again to send this message." I've done that time and time again, and the same thing happens. What am I doing wrong?

    Try sending it as a regular text message... turn off iMessage.

  • SMS and MMS issues with Z10

    Every since I updated my phone (10.1.0.4181), my SMS and MMS have been failing. My SMS will often freeze on one conversaton for up to half an hour and won't let me type or move to a different conversation, though I can go back to the hub or access my apps. Clicking on a different conversation just takes me back to the one that it froze on. Sometimes the entire conversation area is just grey and I can't see anything. My MMS will not send at all, every time that I try it just fails and says "General Problems". When I try to receive them a download button pops up, but when I click on it the button just disappears and nothing happens. I have tried rebooting the phone and pulling the battery, neither has helped. I have tried turning the data off an on again (with a reboot in between) at the suggestion of someone else, but still without success. Everything else in the Hub functions properly, just not my SMS or MMS. Help!

    I am having this exact same problem, as well as my contacts list has been scrambled so that the names and numbers no longer match. The phone worked excellent until I updated to 4181 which has completely ruined the useability of my phone.
