Ipad Receiving Group imessage email

I have a ipad with retina display. I use my apple account(@icloud.com) as imessage account.
I gave my friends my email address for sending me imessage. It is a group message. Most of them use iphone, but some does not.
One of my friend starts message as a group message. But, here is a problem, messages are received not into imessage app but email.
But, before this when I tired to send a text message to other friends using iphone, it did work!
I tried turning off imessage and device, but it was not solved.
What is the problem, and how can I solve this??

Greetings cooltj64,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with iMessages being received via email. It explains how to change where and how your messages are received:
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage - Apple Support
On iOS devices, find out which addresses are enabled with FaceTime and iMessage by tapping:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You can be reached by iMessage at:
Settings > FaceTime > You can be reached by FaceTime at:

  • Not receiving group iMessages/texts

    First off - i know there have been lots of threads similar to this.  I've looked through those and tried the suggestions, but to no avail. I'm still left with the same issue.
    I've switched back and forth between my iPhone and Android phones for a couple of years or so and never had any issues with iMessage - until iOS 7.0.3.
    Since 7.0.3 i have not been able to receive any iMessages/Texts from friends while in a group chat on my Android device.  I can send them and my friends receive them, but i cannot receive from them.  I get individual texts/iMessages fine, just not group and only when it's from an iPhone.  I am able to receive group messages from Blackberry, Android and Windows devices.
    The catch.  I gave up on iPhone and officially jumped ship to the Moto X before 7.0.3 was released and i COULD get group texts before 7.0.3.
    Here is what has been done.  BEFORE switching to the Moto X, i deactivated iMessage on my iPhone AND on both of my iPad's.  I made sure to also uncheck the phone number and my email addresses BEFORE deactiviating iMessage.  Also did the same with Facetime (not sure if that matters or not).
    I have unregistered the iPhone from my Apple profile/support account.
    I have deleted all iPhone numbers from my iCloud contacts.
    I have tried 4 different Android messaging applications.
    I have the correct settings in Android.
    I have called Apple and had them remove my phone number from iMessage.
    I have made sure that my friends (one is actually my wife so i even did it myself on her phone) have it set to send SMS if iMessage is not available.
    I have deleted my contact from my wife's phone, my wife's iPad and my wife's iCloud and then set it up again (as a mobile and not as an iPhone).
    I've even called Verizon and Motorola both who believe, as do i, that this is an Apple issue since it only started when my friends installed 7.0.3.
    I've ran out of ideas, and ran out of places to go since Apple's support only had the one suggestion which was for them to remove the phone number from iMessage.
    I'm open to anything (except going back to iPhone since that would mean i need to splash out on a new phone again).  However, i do have an iPhone 4 in my house that i could use if need to TEMPORARILY activate to do something else.

    I left words out while i was typing in a hurry. 
    I was saying that the friends of mine who are using the iPhone, have told me that other Android users that they group chat with, are also unable to receive group messages from them.
    I think i have been able to narrow the issue down, after spending more time with Apple and with Verizon.  Verizon had me text STOP to an Apple Short Code, which resulted in about 40 texts from my wife being delivered via the open group chat that we have with our friends.
    To test that this resolved my issue, Verizon initiated a group chat from two test iPhones, which also resulted in success.  I was also able to successfully group chat with 6 other groups of friends all with iPhones.  I did the same test with a mix of Android and iPhone users too, with success.
    Where it failed, was with the original couple.  I am still unable to receive group chats from them, while my wife, who is in the same chat, does receive them.  I do however, get the texts from my wife in that group chat.  Very strange. So i am thinking it is something with their devices and not the fact that i switched from Apple to Android.
    The progress today, after a few weeks of frustration is that i can now receive group chats from everybody i would regularly text with (android or iphone users), except this two people, who happen to be the one's i group chat with the most.  They are iPhone 4s users on Sprint.

  • Group iMessaging on the iPad

    I'm unable to received Group iMessaging on the iPad but I can received on my iPhone

    This was driving me nuts as well.  Try creating a contact and enter all email addresses under a single email field in the following format:
    [email protected],<[email protected]>,<[email protected]>,<[email protected]>,<[email protected]>,<[email protected]>,<[email protected]
    It worked for me.  important to note you don't have a < or a > at the beginning or end respectively.  Just on the addresses in between.
    good luck.

  • TS2755 I cannot send GROUP imessage!

    Hi,
    I just recently got a new iPhone 4S from the apple store because my last one wouldn't send or receive messages. I had been having trouble with the group message function with the last one, but I thought this would be fixed with the new device.
    For some reason everytime I try to send a group message, it just hangs there and totally freezes up my device. I will let it sit for 25-45 minutes and nothing will happen. I have to hard reboot my phone in order to free up the connection.
    I have no problem receiving group imessages, but cannot send them.
    i have tried the reset to factor, I have toggled iMessage on and off several times, but nothing seems to work.
    If anyone can help with this I would really appreciate it.
    My whole team at work uses group iMessage and I can't participate.
    Thanks.

    I don't see an option for group messaging
    settings > messages . (only gives, Imessage - on/off, send read receipts, send as sms, send and receive, mms, show subject field an character count).

  • I can receive an iMessage from my daughters iPad although when i reply it says she is unavailable on iMessage. If I initiate the message it will go to her email rather than her iMessage?? Can anyone assist?

    I can tell you that with Sprint their coverage area isn't as good as Verizon or AT&T.
    Are you sending these imessage while on wifi or cellular data?  Also your husband would need to be in a good coverage area.
    Usually when imessage is unavailable it will send it as a text.  Does your husband receive your imessage as a text?

    Hi RumplestilskinToo!
    You may need to check and make sure that your Group Messaging setting is turned on:
    Messages settings - iPhone
    http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iphf2d853e3
    Go to Settings > Messages to set options for Messages, including:
    Turning iMessage on or off
    Notifying others when you’ve read their messages
    Specifying an Apple ID or email address to use with Messages
    SMS and MMS options
    Turning group messaging on or off
    Showing the Subject field
    Showing the character count
    Blocking unwanted messages

  • How to receive messages using my iPad number than receiving messages from email

    HOw do I receive messages using my iPad number not my email address

    You are probably going to have to sign out of/turn off Messages on the phone and the iPad and then start all over again and enable messages on the phone first so that the number is accessible again to use on the iPad in Settings>Messages>Send and Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at. You need to be able to select your phone number in there.
    This kb article explains it in detail.

  • IPad receiving iMessages

    I have 2 Iphones (my wife's and mine) with one apple id.  We are trying to receive both iMessages on our IPad, but it will only receive my wife's imessages because that is the phone number associated with the applied/email.  (we only have one email too) 
    How do I set up both iphones' imessages to be received on my ipad?

    My wife, my daughter and I all share an Apple ID for purchases, we all have iPhones. All of the iPhones should be associated with your one Apple ID. Our iPhones are.
    Sign out of Messages on your wife's phone and then sign in again and then both phone numbers should be accessible to select in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at.

    I am unable to receive or send email from my IPAD.  The error message says "Connection to server failed".  Help!! geandreamer44

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    You will have to re enter your Wi-Fi password.
    If nothing above helped, restart your router.
    No data is lost due to a reset.

  • My ipad receives email with the hotel wifi but will not send.  The error message is "user name or password for ........is incorrect" but both are correct and unchanged.  Restarting iPad didnt help.

    My iPad receives email on the hotel wifi but will not send.  The error message reads "user name or password for smpt......is incorrect" but both are correct and unchanged.  Restarting iPad did not help.

    I did try this too, but when I access my webmail on the iPad, the iPad doesn't allow me to type my message.  I am able to enter in the "to" address and the "subject" line, but then the keyboard will not come up for me to type my message.  Is there some trick to this?  Very frustrating!

    My sister and I share an itunes account so she can click on my email and receive my imessages how can I make sure this stops happening?

    One of you needs to use a separate Apple ID for iCloud, FaceTime & iMessage.
    The Apple ID needs to be a verified email address. Once you have an email address, that can be verified, go here & create the ID:
    https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/wa/createAppleId
    Then on one of the phones, turn off Contacts, Calendars, etc. for iCloud. You'll be prompted to keep the data or delete it from the phone, then turn off iMessage, FaceTime & delete the iCloud account...Settings>iCloud...scroll down...delete account. Then, setup iCloud using the new Apple ID, turn on iMessage & Facetime.
    This will have no affect on the ID you both share for iTunes content, & you can continue to do so.

  • How can I only receive my iMessages to my phone without it going to my iPad as well?

    Didn't know which forum this would go to, so I figured I would ask. How can I only receive my iMessages on my phone without it going always to my iPad, without turning iMessage on my iPad off?

    Go to Program Files - Windows Searchqu Toolbar. Then click on uninstall app. It must be good. This s--- doesn't appear in the ADD/REMOVE PROG.
    if you can't escape from him, go in partition C and search "Searchqu" and delete everything that shows you the "searchqu".
