Iphone 4 Verizon enabled IMessage but still getting charged as texts

I'm an Iphone 4 Verizon user; I have IMessage "ON"; send as SMS "OFF". I message with another user who has IMESSAGE "ON". The message screen is blue, not green. Yet I'm still getting charged towards texts by Verizon. Does this have anything to do with being signed into apple at all times? Can anyone figure this out? Please help me, thank you.

Has nothing to do with signing on with Apple. If this is happening, I suggest as razmee209 did and contact Verizon. Have you tried turning off cellular or going to Airplane mode and turning wifi back on and sending. Do you  find a charge then? The charging of SMS/MMS is a carrier function, so I would believe they would need to investigate/correct.
I do remember reading sometime in the past of Verizon having a issue with a charge such as this. Try searching the forum and see if you can find a similar post.

    Which iPad app ? If you mean one that has an auto-renewing subscription within it then there are instructions on this page for managing and stopping them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4098

  • Have unlimited plan but IM getting charged per text

    Hello for what ever reason I have unlimited m2m texting  on my Verizon plan which I signed up for. Then I apparently have a regular pay as you go plan which doesn't make sense to me sense IM getting charged about $100 in overages. Now if any one can tell me why IM paying for unlimited mobile to mobile but imgetting charged as if i dont i would be very thankful.

    Unlimited mobile to mobile only covers texts sent to other Verizon cell phones.  What texting plan do you have exactly?  Some of them give you an allowance of "out of network" messages, along with the unlimited mobile to mobile, meaning that if you send more than your allowance to phones on other networks, you would be charge the per message overage rate.
    You probably just need to move to a Talk & Text plan (with unlimited texting to anyone) for $20/month more (or $30 more if you're on a Family plan, but that covers every line on the plan).

  • Unable to install an app, but still getting charged.

    I've been trying to download an app that I have to pay for, but every time I try to input my payment information it would say that my card information didn't match the bank records (even though it was all correct) and wouldn't download the app. However, when I checked my bank account, I was charged $15 worth of $1 deductions with no app installation.

    you need to get in touch with iTunes Support.
    The $1 charge is probably for confirmation that your payment details are correct and normally it is refunded, but it is better that you check with iTunes Support.
    You can do so here:

  • Is it possible to share aps between my iPad and iPhone, I have tried several methods yet I still get charged if I download an app I already have on my iPad.  many thanks, Alex

    Is it possible to share apps from my iPad onto my new iPhone 4. I have tried several suggestions from the net but still get charged when I download an app to my phone that is already on my iPad.  Many thanks,  alex

    Greetings Alex,
    You should be able to download the exact same app from the iTunes store to a different device at no extra cost.  Its possible you might be downloading an iPad only version of an app you happen to have on your iPhone although I'm not familiar with an example of this. 
    If you are being charged:
    1. Make sure you are using the same iTunes Store account (AppleID) on both devices.  Your purchases are tied to the AppleID so if you don't use the same one to download the app that you used to buy it the first time,  you'll be charged.
    On the device you originally bought the app in question:  Go to Settings > Store -- note the AppleID here
    On the device you re-downloaded and were charged on:   Go to Settings > Store -- note the AppleID here
    If these AppleIDs are different then you have your answer.  You are making purchases with two different accounts so logically you've been charged twice.  Decide which AppleID you wish to use from now on and on the device which does not currently have that ID and tap on it in the Store section of the settings and login with the other AppleID.
    If these AppleIDs are the same then something is going wrong in the process.  Contact iTunes Store support email to have them take a peek: http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/
    Hope that helps.

  • HT4859 I have iCloud for my iPhone, my daughters iphone and 2 of my ipads and have purchased the max amount of storage I can but still get a message saying i don't have enough space to store anymore. Do I need to put each device on their own account?

    And maybe you don't talk to too many people but I've been on many forums on different websites where people have had similar problems and a lot of people in the store were having battery problems where they were draining too fast. What I learned is that all the people who did not download the updates are good. There phone is working the same. The people who have, they're having battery problems
    I have downloaded every update and my battery life is better than any previous iPhone I have ever owned. I see posts from hundreds of people every day, and this is not a commonly reported problem. While there are a few random reports of battery problems, it is no more than I have seen for any other model or any other version of iOS in almost 8 years. Usually problems of rapid battery drain can be traced to bad apps (FaceBook is the worst offender) or corrupt data being synced from iCloud or other sources (gmail, Windows Live, Yahoo, etc).
    The simple test is to restore the phone as New. Do not create any email accounts. Do not install any apps. Do not enable FaceTime or iMessage. Do not enable Twitter or any other social networking app. Use it for a day and check the battery usage. You will find that it is working well.
    And also see this: http://www.overthought.org/blog/2014/the-ultimate-guide-to-solving-ios-battery-d rain. It is the best treatise I have seen on the subject of battery usage.

    I got my iphone to start sending emails, but still can't get the ipad to do so.

    You should take it right back to the Genius Bar.  After they fix or replace it, make sure you can text, call and use all the functions before you leave the store.

  • HT4914 I have Itunes Match but still get ads on Apple radio.  How can I fix

    ITunes Match is enabled but still get ads on Apple Radio channels.  How can I fix?
    thx,

    Hey there Chriskir,
    It sounds like you would like to delete all the songs from your iPad but still be able to access them in iTunes Match. You can delete all the songs from the Music section of your Usage in Settings by swiping your music left:
    Settings > General > Usage

  • If I'm overseas, and I use iMessage not connected to wifi, and I'm messaging someone who has an iPhone as well with ios 7, will get charged SMS/mms fees?

    if I'm overseas, and I use iMessage not connected to wifi, and I'm messaging someone who has an iPhone as well with ios 7, will get charged SMS/mms fees?

    No, but cellular data will be used at whatever international roaming rate you carrier charges for data in whatever country.
    Exchanging iMessages requires the same thing as email - an available internet connection. SMS/MMS is completely separate from iMessage.

  • Download and install newest version but still get error - "requires latest version of flash player"

    I keep getting a message that something won't work because the latest version of flash player needs to be installed.  I go through the download and install for flash player but still get the message.  After the install I never get any setup steps.  I have tried uninstalling what ever version of flash player is on my computer before the download and install but it doesn't help.
    I also tried to delete Adobe photoshop Elements 9 and Adobe Premiere Elements 9 but I could not get it to work. I get a message that "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed."

    Removed your phone numbers as I'm assuming you don't want these posted on a public forum.
    Can you try going through the steps outlined in the two faq's below.  Also, where you able to go to the Flash Player Version page and see both the animation and flash player version number displayed?
