IPhone cannot send broadcast text messages?

I could not send a text message to multiple recipipents at once. Anybody knows a way to do this?
This is not looking good as I tend to send messages to a group of people everytime.

Please see this thread:
"Solution: How to (maybe) SMS multiple people...or at least work-around"

  • I cannot send a text message to anyone with an android phone. Any suggestions?

    I just got an iphone. I cannot send a text message to anyone with an android phone. I have tried turning imessage off and also wifi off. Any other suggestions? Most of my family including my husband currently have android phones and I need to be able to talk to them. I can send messages to iphones and ipads but not their phones. What can I do??

    I don't see the "Start new conversation from:" I spent 1 hour and 40 minutes last night on the phone with Verizon. We completely reset the phone after backing it up to icloud. His conclusion was I need a new SIM card and I will not be able to go take care of that until tonight. I don't know if that will fix it or not but that is what he said...

  • I cannot send out text messages

    I cannot send out text messages - I can receive them - cannot send them to a contact.
    This contact has a multiple contacts ranging from gmail to facebook.  I deleted all the contacts and now the contact can receive my text messages.
    I noticed a small x in a circle to the right of the contact's name. A red x in a circle would appear and say my text messages not sent. I would resend - nothing changed. 
    Does anyone know why this happens and how I can fix the contact so I can text without getting these messages.
    The contact is not blocking me by the way - it is my spouse LOL
    Thank you

    Thanks to draya06 for your response.
    Please try deleting all text messages from this person and resend. Do you have a signature on your outgoing text messages? If so please remove the signature and retry. If these don't work please PM me and we will further troubleshoot this issue.
    Thank you

  • IPhone 4 sending duplicate text messages. ideas?

    My iPhone is sending repeat text messages to my contacts that do not have iPhones. I have tried updating my iPhone and this doesn't seem to help.

    That info is just as useless as the info from 02 lol, reboot device, update firmware, reset network settings, bla bla bla, I've heard them all as solutions to every problem I've had and it's never worked for any of them,
    I've had no 3G for weeks O2 said it was because I was on ios6 (I lied) as they originally said it was because I didn't update to ios6, then they had me resetting settings even tho I told them problem was on their end, sure enough 100+ minutes of phonecalls and they finally admitted 4 of their transmitters in my area were damaged due to floods! Would of been easier to tell me that in the first place, they won't even speak to me unless I said I had updated to the latest software as they blame everything on apple, and if you do update they then blame it on updating!
    Anyway...
    My issue is my wife sends me a SMS and I get it twice within seconds of each other
    I'm running 5.1.1 shes running 6.0
    Problem was here when we both had 5.0
    Problem was here when we both had 5.1
    So it's not a firmware problem and apple has done diddly squat to fix it
    The first is a text message the second is an iMessage both together or within seconds of each other
    Pretty sure its her 3G connection at work failing to send the iMessage then sending a text message instead but then sending the iMessage at the same time because it just so happened to connect
    No need to reset anything

  • IPhone 4 cannot send international text messages

    I have an iPhone 4. Since day one that I bought the phone, I have not been successful to send international text messages. The procedure for sending an international text message is simple: enter 011, followed by the country code, and then the phone number. It has never worked. Each time, I get the following error message -- "Message Send Failure". Any ideas for fixing this problem?
    What surprises me most is that I have an HTC Trophy with the same Mobile Service provider. No problem exists with the HTC Trophy for sending international text messages.

    I never had problems sending international text since my first 3g iPhone and neither with the 4. The only problem is that international txts are too expensive, I recommend you to use Skype or other app that can send texts.

  • I have downloaded ios7 and a little while later I cannot send a text message to another iphone

    I recently downloaded ios7 and then the second download and after a couple of days I can no longer send a text message to another iphone

    If it was not sent, it is possible that you prevented it from being sent. However, if it made it to the Apple server before it tried sending as a SMS, it is very possible it still could be sent. In my opinion, I would say no.

  • Cannot send group texts/messages or voice texts.

    I just bought my iPhone 6 Plus on December 27.  Starting today for some reason, I cannot send group texts (iMessages or SMS texts) or voice texts.  Please advise.

    This doesn't really help me as much; I know how to send texts, and I am able to do so to individuals.  It's just that I can't get group texts to go through.  I have service and am sending to both iPhone users and non-iPhone users.  Interestingly enough, a moment ago a particularly long text I tried to send to an individual non-iPhone user was not delivered.  Does anyone know if there is some lingering issue with messaging on the iPhone 6 Plus?  I have the latest iOS software update.

  • HT3529 I cannot send a text message to one specific friend when they have iMessage turned off. It should go through as a text message instead of an iMessage but they never receive it. It only happens with this one person and I can receive, but not send.

    Please help! I can't send a text message to one specific friend of mine when he has iMessage turned off. I can receive his texts, but he never receives mine. Both are iPhones, obviously, different carriers which shouldn't matter. Neither of us got new phones. MMS is on. All if a sudden it just happened. No major changes other than him turning iMessage off, due to a nosy brother who shares his iPad. What am I missing??

    I do have SMS on. What else could it possibly be?

  • In my wife's iPad she cannot send a text message to an Android user, but I can on mine.  Both use the same 8.1 iOS.  When she types in the addressee name it comes up in red and will not allow "send."

    How do you send a text message to an Android user via Messages?  My wife and I both have iPads running 8.1 iOS.  When she types in the addressee name it appears in red (not in mine).  Then she is not allowed to send.

    There are a lot of posts in the forums today with people having problems with iMessage.   There was also a published outage yesterday, so it's possible there are still some issues that may be impacting you both.
    I would just wait it out - I'm sure it will be sorted out soon.

  • HT4528 cannot send a text message to phones that are not i phones?

    Go to Settings --> Messages and turn on "Send As SMS".

  • I set up my daughter ipad mini. Now she cannot send out text messages.

    I set up my daughter's ipad mini. Now she can't send out text messages.

    1. Messages on the iPad can only be sent to other iDevices
    2. They must also be registered with iMessage
    Note: The two above conditions must be met.

  • HT5262 The information in my iPhone is now corrupt.  The calendar is scrambled. I cannot send any text messages.  My storage is almost full.  Should I backup the scrambled information to my  laptop before going to the Genius Bar?

    My iPhone 5 storage is almost full.  My calendar is scrambled.  I cannot receive text messages or voice mail.  Gmail and safari blinks out. The phone will not allow me to delete information.  Should I try to back up to my laptop before going to the Genius Bar?

    Unless you have recently restored the device from a backup it might be best, if possible, to try to back up to a different computer, otherwise yes backup anyway. There is normally only one rolling backup for each device until the backup is used to restore. Backing up to multiple machines would give you a chance to restore the current state, or your most recent backup if that fails.

  • Why iphone4s cannot send a text message to a specific person

    i can send text message to others except the one who has 4s too. we can ues imessage, but cannot use text. what shoul i do

    OK, I had a user at work wit a very similar problem in that they had just upgraded their iPhone (3GS) to IOS 5 and was unable to send texts
    after some testing it appeared to be that certain contacts accosiated with a particular addressbook were not working, so I am assuming that perhaps the people who are unable to send any texts perhaps have all their contacts on one addressbook or that both addressbooks are having the same problem
    a quick test to see if  it is an addressbook error would be to create a new contact (I used the same name as the contact that didn't work) and then send a test message
    One strange / new thing that I found was that once I had entered the number in a new contact of teh same name the data/accounts were merged and the text message (sms) WORKED!
    I repeated these steps for a few contacts just to be sure and it worked every time
    again, this may not be the same as the problem your having but at the moment it seens like it's worth a shot if you dont want to resort to a new setup or loose 1000+ messages
    Good luck
