IPhone sending texts

I just got my iPhone 5 Thursday and I had to wait for it to work a few days for my number to transfer to my new sim as I changed network and wanted my old number still. The Internet works fine and I call people, however if people text or call me it comes through on a phone with my old sim? Can anyone help me out? It says I'm connected to Vodafone on my iPhone and I have signal but my old phone says I'm still connected to Orange, can anyone help me out with this please??

This happens all the time for me. However, it's only because I fat-fingered the O or P keys. They're dangerously close to the SEND key. Watch next time it happens... did you just press the O or P?

Why does my iPhone send texts instead of iMessages occasionally?

I will be in a lengthy conversion and I will look back at the conversation and several of my messages will have been sent as texts. These cost me a fee every single time. Why can't iMessage send iMessages each time? This problem causes iMessage to be of little or no use to me because rather than saving me money it is costing me money. Do I literally have to stop and verify each time that it isn't sending a text? How can I force my phone not to send texts at all, only iMessages to my iMessage users?

I'm not sure you read my post correctly. I am in a lengthy conversation and SOME of my messages will be texts. Some of them are also sent as iMessages. This means that I am conversing with an iPhone and that they have iMessage turned on. iMessaging a non-iPhone would is obviously impossible. So, it is a phone that I was sending iMessages to and at some point they changed over to texts but I didn't notice because I was in a conversation and assumed they would keep sending as iMessages. In my view, it should notify you or something if you've just sent an iMessage to someone and then a few seconds later you send another message and it turns out to be a text. It makes it rather difficult to use since you have to verify every single time your reply is indeed being sent as an iMessage.

IPhone sending texts to two different threads

I have an iPhone 4S running iOS 6.1.3 and I'm on the Sprint network.
To preface, way earlier this summer I sent out a message to several people, all with iPhones with iMessage enabled. Turned out that the contact info I had for one of the contacts on my phone, let's call him Friend 1, was wrong (I somehow had an 8-digit phone number for him, I guess I had just entered the information incorrectly and never texted him before). The texts were obviously going to everyone except Friend 1. So I corrected his contact info with his correct number, made a new group thread, and all was better.
Then two days ago, another one of my friends (Friend 2) in the same group thread turned off his iMessage because he's got a different bug on his phone that makes it freeze up every time he sends an iMessage. Anyway, as I expected, every message I send in the group thread is now green, being sent as an SMS. But everyone else in the thread is still able to send iMessages to it, which Friend 2 receives, despite having turned off iMessage on his phone.
However, whenever I try to send a message, I'm almost always only able to send an SMS. One of my other friends (Friend 3) informs me that all my SMSes sent since Friend 2 turned off his iMessage have been going to a different thread, the one from months ago with Friend 1's number entered incorrectly. I can see every message that everyone else sends in the thread, including those of Friend 1, whose contact info is still correct. Occasionally when I open the thread I'll be able to send an iMessage, which everyone receives, but most of the time I'm only able to send SMSes, which go to the broken thread that everyone except Friend 1 can see. On my phone, though, it looks like I'm sending and receiving every message in the same thread with all the info correct, and every message that any of my friends send in either thread comes into the one thread on my phone with Friend 1's number entered correctly.
Whenever I text Friend 1 individually or in any thread that doesn't have Friend 2 (who turned off iMessage) in it, everything works perfectly. I have no problem in any other iMessage conversation. But the thread with all of us in it together presents these problems where any time I'm not able to send iMessages, the SMSes appear to me to be sent in the same thread, but for everyone else (except Friend 1 who can't see them at all) they go into the old broken thread.
To clarify, whether or not I'm able to send iMessages seems to turn on and off arbitrarily between texts, that is to say, it doesn't seem to be corrolated to whether or not anyone in the thread is or isn't connected to the network. I'll send a few SMSes in the thread, which go to the broken one, and then my phone will be able to send one iMessage, and I can wait as long as I want to send it- the capability doesn't go away with time, but as soon as I send the one iMessage I can't send any more. That iMessage goes to the good thread, and then it'll turn back to SMS for either a random period of time or a random quota of SMSes sent, I can't tell.
Basically I can't understand how this could be happening. I don't get how I could be sending these texts to a number that I don't have in my phone. I don't get why iMessage seems to turn on and off arbitrarily for me alone in this one group thread. I also don't understand how someone (Friend 2) with iMessage turned off can be receiving iMessages in a group thread but can't send them himself or receive them when someone texts him alone, but that's not a problem, just a related curiosity.
I know this is a huge explanation, but I just wanted to be as thorough as possible. If any clarification is needed just let me know. Thank you guys for any help you can provide.

No problem. However, like I said earlier, music is a sync, no problem since that content is on a computer. Contacts and calendar is a sync, no problem since that content is on a computer as well. Just make sure there is a file backup of those components. The next thing is to save pictures and other data. I suggest you have a sync of both computers to the phone, and then do a backup on your personal computer. I would also import the pictures to the personal computer as a bakup, however you can keep them in the Camera Roll if you want after you have imported them. This ensures you have data backed up. Restore the new phone to the backup on your personal computer. Make sure it is set to only sync music.You should get your data, and then it can resync the music. Make sure the work computer is only setup to sync manually and to sync just contact and calendar data and nothing else. Connect the phone to that computer and sync. You should get your contacts and calendar. Now you might get a warning box saying the iPhone is synced to another library, but don't worry since the work computer is not setup to sync music. Now remember, this is my 2cents worth based on what information you provided. You cand decide if you want to do this or not and you make your choices on your own.

My iphone send Text message to apple 30cent

Hallo this is a hot topic on many forums in Italy about that all iphones are sending a text message to this number in UK 00447860015 **** no one have an answer to this threat and what it seems if for sure that all italian company are not involve since I call my company and they said is an Iphone ios8 issue.
Can someone tell me more about, and if there is any way to fix or avoiding to pay those 30cent sometime 2/3 time for month.
Thank you
Mark
ps: I have attached the extract from my text message charge

FaceTime and iMessage, as I said, send SMS messages to Apple's server in the UK to activate and re-activate the service. Every iPhone in the world does the same thing. That's about a half a billion phones. Apple has an agreement with partner carriers to not charge for the reactivation messages. It would seem that TIM is not honoring that agreement. It has nothing to do with the iPhone or the version of iOS. Most carriers do honor it. As TIM is a supported carrier they should honor the agreement also. If they do not you have to confront TIM about why they are charging you for a service that they have agreed to provide for free under their contract with Apple. Either that, or TIM does not know that you are using an iPhone with their service.

I try to text friend of mine who has a Samsung Device, but it shows the message was sent but it never says delivered!! The sending bar is always went across the screen all the way but it don't ever deliver it!! Please help I would like to text her!!

Why don't you call your carrier or your friend's carrier. SMS is sent via cellular data.

Receiving iMessage but sending text to known iPhone

I am receiving text from a contact that is registered with iMessage. The incoming messages are iMessage but when i send out, it will only send text. My phone does not seem to register this contact as iMessage to send to. I am in the same group MMS with that contact. All contacts in that group have iPhones and use iMessage. It shows that messages sent from every user is iMessage but mine sends out text because it recognizes one of the contacts as a non-iMessage user although i receive iMessage from them. Please help

I am having this same problem too, my friend just got her iPhone, and her messages to me are coming as iMessage but my outgoing to her are text? I can send messages to her from my iPads fine, but the phone is the issue and when I go to the iPad conversations, of course the messages sent from my phone are missing. I can send other users iMessages just fine....this is driving me crazy.

My iPhone 5 won't send texts without wifi, even when I have 4G. It also won't make calls. Any ideas?

My iPhone 5 won't send texts without wifi, even when I have 4G. It also won't make calls. Any ideas?

Do you have a cellular plan with data and SMS activated?

I can make calls and send text messages on my new iPhone 5, but incoming calls and texts still go to my old (non-Apple) phone. Is this a problem with the phone set up, or is it a problem with my old carrier or my new carrier?

I can make calls and send texts on my new iPhone 5, but all incoming calls and texts are received by my old (non-Apple) phone.

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.

I just bought an new ipad mini with wifi and cellular. Is there any way to send text messages to people and contacts that do not have iphones such as friends with blackberrys or a samsung galaxy smartphone.

I just bought an new ipad mini with wifi and cellular. Is there any way to send text messages to people and contacts that do not have iphones such as friends with blackberrys or a samsung galaxy smartphone from this ipad. Everytime I try to send a message to a person that does not have an Apple product ( Iphone or Ipad ) it comes up saying contact is not registered for iMessage and wont send it. I can only send them a message from my iPhone 4 instead. Do I have to install a new App from the App store to send these non iMessage cell users a message?

Iphone 4s-when wifi is off and I am away from my home connection can I receive and send texts and text messages? I want to keep my wifi off to limit data (email etc) to when I want to check it. Cellular is roaming"voice only" it says.Can I get texts?

When my wifi is off and I'm away from my home connection - it shows wifi off (unless I turn it on to check my email etc.) - and in the settings cellular it shows "voice only". Will I be able to receive and send texts in those settings? Or check voicemail. I had wanted to keep my email from coming in all the time and only want to check it periodically - so I turn ON my wifi when I want to check my email. But when my wifi was off away from home- I hadn't seemed to be getting my texts. So- do I need to keep wifi roaming connected when away from home to receive and send my texts in real time. (which is what I want) or am I still able to send and receive texts with my wifi off when I'm away from home. (When I'm home I am connected to my home data plan automatically through wifi and I get texts when I'm home - but I'm thinking I'm not getting texts in real time - is it because my wifi is off when I'm away from home? My cellular shows voice only when my wifi is off away from home. Am I doing it right to receive and send texts away from home? Or do I need to open up the wifi in order to receive and send text messages. I know that I would need to turn on wifi roaming - which will use data - for email checking or sending - as well as to use browsing apps and now I'm guessing to receive voice messages I may have missed? So do I need wifi on to receive texts too? Thank you - GregorySC

Hello GregorySC,
In order to send and receive SMS or MMS messages, you will need to have an active cellular data or Wi-Fi connection.
You will need these to send and receive iMessages:
An iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
iOS 5.0 or later
A cellular data connection or a Wi-Fi connection
A phone number or Apple ID registered with iMessage in Settings > Messages

TS2755 I can't send text to more than 1 person at a time on my Iphone 4. How can I fix this, it just started doing it out of the blue?

I can't send a text message to more than 1 person at a time. I can send text message to one contact, then re-type and send to another contact. It was working fine until a week ago.
