Instant messages now showing up from 'voicemail'

after upgrading an iphone 3gs and 4 to ios 5 and turning on imessage... instant messages from those phones to each other are showing up as from 'voicemail', and not alerting me when they arrive... we also have an ipad and a message from that device to those phones does the same thing.

ok i fixed that by deleting my contact of 'voicemail'. but now when i get a message from my other phone it shows as it is from that contact, but when i go to messages it somehow changes who it is from to me...

Check to see if you have contacts in your Contacts app. This is something that can happen sometimes, and is usually cured by resetting the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. No data will be lost.

Text message is showing sent from my email address instead of phone number

I just reset all my settings on my Iphone 4s and now when I send text messages my friends say it is coming from my email address not my phone number. Why is that? Any advice on how to get it back to normal (from my number not email?)
Thanks in advance!!!

I assume your phone is using your phone number. Select an E-Mail also. Under the Select Area a new Area should show up offering to choose whether to use the number or the E-Mail to start new conversations. Pick the Phone number. Go to iMessage and start new conversations.

Email messages now show "To: me" instead of the name or email address and I want to know how to change back to the way it was.

I use several yahoo email addresses and it has always been very convienent to see if it is a personal or business related message by simply seeing the To: line. Now all of sudden all I see is "me" and it is not at all helpful. I didn't make the change nor authorize it to be done. I am not even sure if this is a Firefox issue or a Yahoo issue. I would like to know how to change back to show the full email name or address.

hello shackiraq, you'd have to contact yahoo's support about this issue - firefox doesn't handle your emails but just renders a website like it is provided to you by the server of a webmail service.

When I send a new message it shows up from me in my inbox

I Am syncing to an office Exchange 2010 on MS Office 365 cloud server. Whenever I send a new message from my iPad, it shows up on my Blackberry (and only on my blackberry) in the inbox. The Blackberry is using B.E.S. to sync with the same Exchange Cloud account. It is not showing up on my work laptops inbox or in the inbox of the Outlook Web Access.
IMPORTANT NOTE: I have unchecked the Auto CC myself option on the iPad Preferences. Can anyone explain why this is happening?

Having same issue started when I switched to 365 on Friday. Help

Instant messaging not showing on main display of phone or playing alert tone.

I am running CUCM 8.5.1 with CUPS 8.5.4. I have configured three 7965 phones for testing. I have installed the messaging service and can send IMs from phone to phone, phone to one of the clients or client to phones. I have set them all to play a tone upon receipt. One phone will play the tone and display the message on the main display. The other two pones only display the message within the phone messenger service under the messages selection with no tone. I have tried to do my do diligence in checking my settings and they appear all be the same configs between all the phones but yet i can not get the other phones to display the message on the main screen.
Any suggestions as to what might be causing this or how to resolve would be appreciated. Can provide additional info on request to further clarify.
Thanks,

Alll phones are running the sccp45.9-2-3s.

Signature & forwarded messages now showing up as attachments

Whenever I send an email with attachments, it also changes my email signature and any forwarded messages to attachments. I've tried this in rich-text and plain text format. The only difference is the type of attachment that is sent (HTML vs. TXT).
This just started about a month ago. Before that everything worked perfectly. This is affecting everyone in my company. We are using Mail on Exchange Server with Snow Leopard. I contact our Exchange administrator, and nothing has changed on their end.
Any ideas?

I have a user here at our site that's been experiencing the same issue. He's on 10.6.2, sending to other users on an Exchange 2007 server. Recipients using Mac Mail see his mail as he authored it, with the attachments and forwarded mail text inline. Recipients using Outlook 2007 see non-mail attached content as normal attached files, and any forwarded mail (text?) content as ATT0000x.htm attachments. Not sure when this issue crept up, exactly, but we didn't seem to have a problem until the last couple of months.

Newbie Questions/Comments - SMS and Instant Messaging

I am a new iPhone 3G owner. Before the iPhone I used a SideKick and a BlackBerry. Between those 2 the BlackBerry was my favorite. The email, IM and TXT messaging was great. Now I have the iPhone and I like it but have 2 MAJOR gripes:
*1. SMS* - When txting with someone from my old provider (T-Mobile) the txts are REAL slow. Several minutes pass before receipt. I did a test and sent and received txts from someone on the Verizon network and had no problems. Does anyone know what would be causing this?
*2. Instant Messaging* - Now this is my biggest gripe. Instant Messaging is non-existent. Why is this? It used to be my primary means of communication.
There was another one but I can't remember it right now. Any insight to either of these would be appreciated. I've never spent so much time trying to figure out a phone.

For number 2, this is well known design limitation of the iPhone. The iPhone does not allow background applications to run, so if your phone goes to sleep or you leave the IM screen, then IM is shutdown.
Apple is supposed to release a background notification service, but it is past the launch date, and no one knows when it will show up.
If realtime always on IM is a must have, then the iPhone is not a good choice.

I got a new iPhone 5S and now my text messages are showing up on my iPad now, how do I stop them from showing up on my iPad?

I just switched from a iPhone 4S to iPhone 5S and now my text messages are showing up on my iPad as well as my phone. How to I turn this feature off and just keep them on my phone?

This is for imessage - go to settings - message - send&receive and start a new convo - remove or uncheck the apple id.

I have been having issues with not receiving texts and voicemails daily, for a few months now. If I turn the phone completely off, when I turn it back on the messages will flood in from hours before. I can't be continually turning off my phone in case som

I have been having issues with not receiving texts and voicemails daily, for a few months now. If I turn the phone completely off, when I turn it back on the messages will flood in from hours before.

Wifi: my Cell phone will remember 10 wifi connections. So delete any you don't use often and your home wifi and try to enter home wifi again.
if it still won't connect to home wifi, call your internet provider for help. You may need a newer router or different settings Or upgraded service. Your phone seeks the best connection and will refuse lesser connections.
last resort. Backup the phone. Do a full reset, then restore as new with the backup.
if still not fixed, go back to apple and insist on repair or replacement.
HOWEVER. voicemail is not a wifi issue, it's a carrier function, which is why the SIM card is a suspect.

Saved contact from Messaging app but now showing in address book?

Based on this, I'm not sure what the problem is or what you are asking.

HT204053 The one alias I've had for over 5 years has not fully migrated over to iCloud. My account now shows 3of3 aliases available but I'm still able to receive messages addressed to my old alias. I can no longer send emails using this alias. Help!

For years I have been using [email protected] for business.
It is on my business cards, stationary and most of my closest correspondences are maintained off of that email.
The documentation I've read indicates aliases should be transferred over as part of this iCloud migration but this does not seem to be the case. My account now shows 3of3 aliases available but I'm still able to receive messages addressed to the alias. I can no longer send emails from this alias.
How do I get this corrected?

Restore from your backup. For voicemail contact your cell phone provider.

A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
