Iphone Carrier Disconnected - imessage works over wifi for 30 mins

My older Iphone 4 is now carrier disconnected, yet my imessage works to other ios users / I can send receive after a power cycle on imessage for 30 mins, after that any further attempts to txt are treated as SMS and of course fail, since thier is no carrier (3G etc)
Of course this iphone is connected on wifi as a means of networking (IP) must be established for imessage to work.
any ideas in Settings/messaging I still have my old phone number (greyed out) and unable to change and of course my apple recognized email account.
Any insights

Hi,
I have only ever found the iMessages to be sent when connected to WiFi
I will state though that I have a Pay as you Go contract and do not have Data On (on either of my iPhones)
On the Mac I would use the Sign Out button and then shut the App down, before restarting the app and Adding back the Apple ID.

  • Home pc is under my husband's user id, I have an iPad and iPhone under my apple id.  I have more music on my iPad then on pc or iPhone.  If I set up synching over wifi for my devices... What do they sync to?  Will the songs on iPad be added to phone/pc?

    Home Sharing is designed to work on your local network not across the internet/cloud.
    Stuff is accessed under the Computers column where your local iTunes library on a local computer would appear.
    Home Sharing would share your iTunes content (i.e. stuff stored in itunes on the computer, not in the cloud) with AppleTV or an iPad etc on the SAME network.
    AppleTV2 will not be able to see itunes content on the work computer over the internet.  It's not designed to.  if the work computer was on the home network it would.
    iCloud is in it's infancy and is not a mature product - iTunes TV Show purchases appear on AppleTV, but currently music does not unless you are subscribed to iTunes Match. I find this rather odd to be honest, along with the inability to buy music on AppleTV2.  Movies purchased in iTunes are not authorised for iCloud viewing currently either.
    Maybe it has something to do with iTunes Match 'getting in the way' - i think they assume you'll use that whereas you really want to be able to access Purchased music from the cloud without subscribing to itunes Match which is overkill for some.

  • HT201359 I purchased a audio book to listen to on my commute to work. It only works over wifi, that does me no good in the car and the book is hours long for audio. That will eat up my data. How can I get a refund?

    How are you trying to listen to it ? You shouldn't need to be online to listen to it, I don't for any of mine. If you've downloaded it directly on your iPad (or synced it from your computer) then it should be in the Music app (you will get an Audiobooks option under the More button in the Music app when you have audiobooks on it) - is that where you are trying to listen to it ?

  • IMessage is not working over wifi. I need HELP D:

    My iMessage is not working over wifi. But it's only at my house. Actually it worked a while ago but then it stopped working.
    The browser, email, app store, youtube and any other apps are working just fine over the wifi. It's only my iMessage. It won't send any message. It say message not delivered. Does anybody what is going on and what can I do to fix it? Thanks, before. (:

    I recently moved my library on my time capsule
    You mean you moved your music files to the external. The library is more than the music files.
    Just copy the \Music\iTunes\ folder from internal to the Time Capsule.
    Add the Time Capsule to your Login items in System prefs -> Accounts.
    Hold Option and launch iTunes and select *Choose library*.
    Select the iTunes library file int ehiTunes folder on the Time Capsule.
    It is hte samae library you have previously. All artwork playlists, ratings, songs, movies, etc. will be there.
    Genius is already there so nothing needs to be done.

  • Will siri for the ipad 3 work over wifi? Or just 3G/4G?

    So I want to get the iPad 3 but before I do I wanted to know if it works over wifi. Or 3G/4G only.

    Make sure Siri is turned on in the General settings and not blocked in the Restrictions. Then see:
    http://www.apple.com/ios/siri/siri-faq/
    By the way, it's usually best to ask a new question as a new topic rather than as an add-on to someone else's thread.

  • After i upgrade  to a new phone, will my old 4s still continue to work on wifi for apps and music? or do I need phone service?

    after i upgrade  to a new phone, will my old 4s continue to work on wifi for apps and music only? to be used like an ipod?

    The support article referenced says to insert the SIM Card from my new phone in the old phone.  That won't work since I have an iPhone 5 and the iPhone 4S uses a different size SIM card. 
    What do I need to do to get past the "Insert a SIM card" message when I don't have the right size card lying around?

  • Verizon messages app doesn't work over wifi....

    Hello, all,
    Until recently, I used the verizon messages app to send/receive texts over wifi on my gs3 when I had no cellular/data reception.  Now it will only send/rec when there's cell reception.
    But...the app does still work over wifi onmy galaxy tab 2 7.0.
    Why could this be?  Did a recent app update break txt over wifi for the gs3?
    Thanks!
    Abe

    This does NOT work on the Galaxy S3.
    Airplane mode ON, Wifi ON, No network mode is available in Airplane mode.  So...only wifi is available.  When I try to send a text with only wifi available I get "Network not available.  The message will be sent when the network is available"
    BUT...On my Galaxy Tab 2 (non-verizon), This DOES work.  On the tab 2 with only wifi available, I CAN send text messages using Verizon Messages.
    So....again...
    On Galaxy Tab 2 with only WiFi available...texting with Verizon messages DOES work.
    On Galaxy S3 with only WiFi available...texting with Verizon messages DOES NOT work.
    Please fix Verizon Messages to work over WiFi using Galaxy S3.
    Thanks,
    Abe

  • Blackberry Apps like Facebook and Whatsapp don't work over wifi, what should I do?

    My BB AT&T 9810 does not works over with wi-fi only browser or youtube, I don't use Services Plans, but the bb is supposed to work even only with wifi, apps only work shortly after a restart and longer if I do a Battery pull.

    If I recall correctly, open your Browser > Options > and set the browser to a hotspot browser for it work over WIFi only.

    I already have the default destination to internet.But it still doesnt give me the pop-up which asks me to choose the internet connection.
    But under Settings>>Connectivity>>Destinations>>Internet, I have 2 access points.
    Pri#1 - Vodafone Mobile connect
    Pri#2 - my wi-fi access point.
    Does this make any diff? Should I try flipping the priorities?
    cheers!

  • I've downloaded the ios7 to my iphone but it didn't verify so I connected my iphone to itunes and updated it .. it's now stuck half way through saying 'updating iphone software' it's been like that for 40 mins .. should I be worried?

    I've downloaded the ios7 software to my iphone but it didn't let me install it over air so I connected my iphone to itunes and updated it .. it's now stuck half way through saying 'updating iphone software' it's been like that for 40 mins .. should I be worried?

    I imagine a ton of people are attempting to activate after the update, and the server is getting overloaded. Simple patience, maybe keep trying, and if possible, try a little later. Think of it as all those people lining up at Apple Stores + about a million more.
