Iphone 4s crashes in text messages with no other apps running at all
I force closed every app on my phone, restarted my phone. but yet it still has lots of issues. My text message app is blank half the time. I'm not getting all my messages. I can't play my music and use the maps feature at the same time. this is my 5th iphone since january. this is ******* me off.
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

IPhone is green in text messages with iOS 8
My wife has an iPhone 6 and when she tries to send me text messages using my iPhone 6 plus phone number, the balloons are green, not blue. When you look up my phone number in contacts it is listed as an iPhone and the phone number is blue. We have turned off SMS and reset Network settings, turned SMS back on, on both of our phones. Not sure where the issue resides. When she uses my iCloud email the texts are blue.Any thoughts?

Just as a side note: this doesn't matter one way or the other. You could give a number a custom label "rutabaga" and iMessage would still work.
In addition to Chris's advice, you might try resetting your network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.
Best of luck. -
How do I forward a text message with the iPhone?
How do I forward a text message with the iPhone?
You could take a screen shot (hold and release both buttons simultaneously) and then email the resulting image to someone.

when i send a text message with my new iphone 5 to my wife who is now using my old Iphone 4 we both receive the message. How is this possible? Also she receives all text messages sent to me. She obviously has a different phone number and a different provider
See here to create a new apple ID

When I create a text message from my contact on my iphone 5, the contacts mobile number appears and not there name. But when they respond to my text, is shows up as a new text message with there name. How do I fix this?
Double click the home button and swipe up the messages app to stop it, then open the app again. This pretty much completely stops the process and freshly opens it again, resolving problems at times. I have had this happen before as well on my iPad, I get a banner, check messages, and nothing new is there.
If that doesn't work, close the app like suggested above, but then restart the phone by holding down the home and lock button for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears. -
What if I have an iPhone and its sends/recieves messages with our apple id which is my moms email? How do I fix that so that when I text my friends it doesn't show up with my moms email but my number?
Hi lfeddrix,
You can send and receive Messages from the Apple IDs and phone numbers signed in to your iMessage section in the settings of your phone. We have an article that explains a little bit about this, and it can be found here:
iOS: Using Messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3529
This section is the most appropriate for your situation:
You can change the address that new iMessage conversations are started with in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Start new conversations from:. Note that this setting applies only to new conversations. If you would like to change the address from which messages are sent, first change this setting, and then delete the existing conversation and start a new one.
iMessage responses will be sent from the address the recipient most recently messaged. For example, a friend sends you a message to your Apple ID. Responses in this conversation will be sent from your Apple ID, even if you've selected new conversations to start from your phone number.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

Tap the photo, then tap .
Then emailing it to an account setup on the device from the Photos app:

Why is one iphone displaying the text messages of the other 2 iphones in my house?
Why is one iphone displaying the text messages of the other 2 iphones in my house?
That would be imessage and not text message.
As stated by sberman, it's because the users are sharing apple id.
On each devices - settings - message - send&receive- remove or uncheck the apple ids. -

can anyone help me with my new phone? i got a text message with a song in it i really want but don't know how to save it to my phone???
There's only one way to do it at this time.
When you get the audio file from your friend, in the text box at the bottom instert the following: "Thanks, can you email that to me instead" and hit send.
At this time I dont believe there's a way to save an audio file.
