Imessage stopped sending my SMS text messages, do you know why?

I updated my MacBook Pro a while ago to Yosemite - and surprisingly it worked out (together with my iphone4) to send imessage AS WELL AS normal text messages. However 2 days ago it stopped working and logs out all the time. Only imessage come through (but not always).
Do you guys have a clue, what the problem could be?
Thanks a lot!

Thanks Malcom! I just tried inserting the short characters before the message and it works.
But it's really boring having to type *# etc in front of a text message. The iPhone keypad doesn't lend itself very well for such exercises...
But thanks a lot for pointing me to a temporary workaround.
It's a bit embarrasing for Apple that Nokias, Ericssons, Samsungs etc do this automatically and you can chose delivery report on/off in settings for all these phones. But with Apple iPhone you have to write your own little string of code to get this basic functionality...
YOu actually have to make an extra 10-15 key presses in front of EVERY sms/text message you send for this to work... Something truly time consuming and boring. When I just want to send a text-message saying "yes" I have to type in *#KV and jump between character sets etc. Not nice.
How come Apple has failed to make this central thing of SMS/text work?

IPhone 4s Sending Old SMS / Text Messages

Hi Guys & Girls,
My iPhone 4s randomly sends out an old message from a few days ago. Basicly very randomly when I send a SMS, intead of receiving the SMS i just sent, the recipient will receive a message from a few days ago and not receive the SMS I just sent.
Applecare told me it's a problem with the network i'm on, so contacted the network, they can't find anything wrong with network or my account. I have tried 3 diffrent networks in the UK (3, GiffGaff, O2) and all are having the exact same issue, so I highly doubt that it's a problem with the network.
The receipent has also changed networks and phones, still with no luck.
Any Ideas? Anyone else having the same problem? I'm quite certain that it's an issue with the iPhone or iOS

This is happening to me also since I installed iOs6 on my iPhone4. It is most frustrating, embarrassing and potentially damaging to relationships. iOS6 has been nothing but bother for me!!

My phone won't send or receive texts. Does anyone know why?

Does anyone know why my phone won't send or receive texts? I've updated my phone numerous times.

Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Beyond that, SMS is a carrier feature. Contact the carrier to troubleshoot.

Can't send videos via text message or email. Why is this??

It keeps telling me "Sorry, you cannot add this video to your message." The videos I've attempted to send are only 3 seconds to 19 seconds. Can't send via email either because they're "too large?"

Picture size can cause missed sends as well, you might try if you haven't a different setting in your camera not sure what phone you have but if your using HD try Non HD see if it'll let it proceed and if your using 720P for Video try a different Video style and you may need to clean your cache for your messaging.. give that a look.

Hi,
Have you tried resetting the option of the iPhone so it causes a New code number to appear on the Mac ?
Repeat the setting if you don't see a code number straight away.

How do i import outlook email addresses to iphone and send as a SMS text messages

How do i import outlook email addresses to iphone and send as a SMS text messages?

You can send a message through an email gateway so that it appears as a text on someone's phone. However, it's not their regular address. For example, for a Verizon customer, it would be [email protected] Perhaps that's what you're thinking of?

Why can't i send or receive text messages to some users from my iPad while there is no problem texting them from my iPhone?

Why can't I send or receive text messages to some users from my iPad mini while there is no problem texting them from my iPhone?

With the Apple iMessage app, You can only Message with other iOS users - iPads, iPod Touch, iPhone users and Macs running Mountain Lion or higher. With your iPhone, you can send standard SMS text messages to any phone, including Android phones.
The iPad cannot send SMS messages or receive them either.

Sending an SMS test message from MacBook Pro

Unfortunately, I have messed around with the settings on my MacBook Pro and now I cannot send a text message via my computer to someone who doesn't have an iPhone - which I could until I inadvertently changed some settings. When I attempt to send an SMS text message to a non-iPhone I receive a message that says: " ....is not registered with iMessage". Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Can the computer receive them?
Check you setup
Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support
It appears the Mac is not linked to the phone

Setting up SMS Text message iCal alert

Hey all, I'm trying to set up iCal to send an sms text message alert to my phone as describe on one of apples tutorials. Either my phone isn't working, or iCal is not sending the alert. Does iCal have to be open for this to work? Does macmail? Anyone have any suggestions, or can someone link up to a previous discussion that covered this topic?

Hey all,
thanks for checkin up on it.
The discussion posted by John has the information I was referring to.
The problem might be with how the telephone company handles email/sms texts rather than with iCal
I'll post a reply when I get this figured out.
Thanks for the replies

Several questions concerning sending bulk SMS texts on a 9300

Hi, I'm new here and have done the usual thing of checking previous topics using the search facility, but a few things don't seem to have been covered (or if they have the search facility didn't find them)
1) Why does the 9300 only allow you to send an SMS text message to 100 contacts only? My old 9000 could send to everyone in a group (some of my groups contain 300+ contacts) I've now had to spend almost 2 days re-doing all my groups so that none contain more than a 100 contacts (for example Members A-H, Members I-O and Members P-Z)
Is there any way around this?
2) How do I make the 9300 less like an iPhone and more like my old 9000? I hate the way that when you send a text to a group, if several people reply all the replies are grouped together. With the old 9000 each text from each individual was listed seperately, which actually made it easier to know who had replied.
3) When sending a text to a group, with the 9000 I could see the whole list of recipients, with a red X next to those, who for one reason or another, hadn't received it. With the 9300 I get a red X next to the group name, but not against individuals, so I have no idea who did and who didn't et the message. How do I change the settings so that I do know?

megane, to be even more honest, read your question above... it has nothing to do with threaded SMS conversations and the like of which the original poster here inquired.

TS4268 My phone has recently stopped sending iMessage even though it has wifi also it has stopped automatically sending it as an SMS when iMessage isn't working I have to manually get it to send as a text message. I haven't changed any settings. Any sugge

My phone has recently stopped sending iMessage even though it has wifi also it has stopped automatically sending it as an SMS when iMessage isn't working I have to manually get it to send as a text message. I haven't changed any settings. Any suggestions?

Try the following:
Go to Settings > Messages > iMessages > disable
Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
let it do it's thing and reset.
Then go to Settings > Messages > iMessages > enable
You'll then have to go back to your Wifi and re-enter your router credentials.

Messages are sending as SMS texts instead of iMessages to some contacts

Hi,
I have noticed that a couple of my contacts with iPhones that I would normally iMessage to now I can only SMS text to.
It seems that in both cases, previously I received and iMessage from them and when I replied, it failed so I chose to send it as SMS.
Now, even, though I have deleted the Message threads, whenever I try and send a Message to them it insists on sending an SMS text instead of an iMessage.
How can I force it to start sending iMessages instead of SMS messages again to these contacts?
Thanks in advance for any help on this as it is really frustrating.

You may also need to check with those individual receipents regarding the status of their iMessage. The use of iMessage requires an active data connection for both the sender and the receiver. If either is interrupted, it can cause the message to fail. The error could be on their end as well.

I only have access to wifi, imessage started defaulting to green text message instead of blue imessage to people who it previously worked fine with. Now I can't send outdoing messages, i have turned SMS off and it still does this, any suggestions?

I only have access to wifi, imessage started defaulting to green text message instead of blue imessage, thus they fail to send, I have turned off SMS and restarted the phone and the problem gotinues. Any suggestions?

iPads only support iMessage. You cannot send SMS with any of the native iOS functionality on it. There may be some apps in the app store that will, and certainly several messaging platforms (but read the descriptions carefully).
