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.

  • Does anyone have Ford sync allowing text messaging with IOS 7.0.4?

    I had all the settings working when I was on ios 6, but now that I have upgraded it quit working.  I removed the sync from my phone and removed the phone from my phone from sync then paired again.  Then set the sync notifications back to on but still no text.  Does anyone have ford sync allowing text messaging with IOS 7.0.4?

    I need to update, my messaging is now working.  Apparently after going through the steps and the settng notifications to on all I had to do was turn off the car, open the door, and then return.  When I got in my car this morning the text messaging (recieve only) was working.

  • 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.

  • Can't get or send text message with ios 7.0.3 update

    after installing ios 7.0.3 i can no longer send or recieve imessages.  All my old texts are gone fromthe phone.

    My wife and I were having same issue after upgrading to iOS 7.0.3.  I called apple support and they said it was because we were using the same Apple ID for iMessage/FaceTime on both iPhones. I created a new Apple ID (just for iMessage/FaceTime) on my phone and it seems to have fixed my issues. Using original Apple ID on my wife's phone and mms hasn't started functioning for pics yet on that device. iMessage is working fine however. We always turned the email part of iMessage/FaceTime off, so I'm not sure why it started being an issue now. FYI, I was told that iMessage and FaceTime should use same Apple IDs.

  • HT2589 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!

    You could take a screen shot (hold and release both buttons simultaneously) and then email the resulting image to someone.

  • 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?

    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.

  • I cannot send photos with text messages on iOS 6.0.1

    Have you tried deleting and re adding the hipstamatic app, since you think that is the culprit?

    I don't remember the password for my iphone 4. I restated it with IOS 7 and the iphone is disable.Please help me with that.

    You will have to restore it from Recovery mode, as described in the tip you were reading when you posted your message. Or see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808. You will lose all data on your phone.

  • How do you forward a text message with pictures to another mobile user

    How do you forward a text message with pictures to another mobile device?

    Howdy Greg,
    It sounds like you have some texts with images attached you would like to forward to another device. If the it can receive text messages, use these steps:
    Send messages with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    How do I forward a message?
    To forward a message, tap and hold the message bubble, then tap More.
    Tap to select the message you want to forward, then tap  and select the person to send it to.
    If the receiving device does not have the ability to receive text messages, you can also email them to an account setup on it by first saving the message to your phone:
    How do I save a photo from a message?
    Tap the photo, then tap .
    Then emailing it to an account setup on the device from the Photos app:
    Other ways to share photos and videos - iPhone
    Save or share a photo or video you receive.
    Email:  Tap to download it if necessary, then touch and hold the item to see sharing and other options.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • How do i save a picture to the camera roll from a text message in ios 7

    I am attempting to save a picture from a text message to my camera roll. However when i hold the picture the options are "copy/More" More gives the options to delete or forward via text message. And if i press copy it only copies it to be pasted. In the past i was given several options to send the pic via email/text/save to camera roll/drop box etc.
    Please advise as to how i can save pictures from my text to the camera roll.
    Thank you!

    If you receive a picture via email or text message in ios 7 and when you press the action icon to save the picture and you do not get the option to save to your camera roll. Press and hold on the the image and you will get an overlay pop up to save the image. I have no idea why some attachments don't have option in action menu to save in the camera roll but by experimentation and earned frustration I found the above to work in certain situations.
    Be well and have fun and feel rewarded in your frustrations. For without challenges, life would be an utter bore.
