Iphone sends Imessages, but not SMS.

This problem started Friday, and ever since then, a few of my friends, who have Imessage can only text me. i've restored its backup, i've put airplane mode on for 30 seconds and then switched it off. i've reset wireless connections.
the contacts that i know who don't have Imessage dont get any of my texts, and i cannot see theirs.
does anyone know what this problem is?

My Imessage on/off switch is currently on, but my SMS is also on. i'll try to look at my messaging coverage on AT&T asap, because i did upgrade my data plan earlier that day, but i don't think that this particular upgrade would affect my messaging, would it?

I can send iMessages but not send texts?

I don't know why but for some reason my phone will let me send iMessages but it won't let me send texts.
Also, when I send an iMessage it uses my e-mail and not my number?

Hi Friend,
In Settings>>Message>>Send&Receive, set to be contact in your mobile number and email. Below you set to start new chat just with your mobile number.
Hope it will be helpful

I can send imessages but not receive them?

Apologies if this is a stupid question.
I just got an iPhone 5 and can send imessages without any trouble, but when I receive a message it says 'Text Message' in small grey writing above the message. Does this mean that people are unable to send me imessages? I know that the people I am messaging have imessage turned on because I am able to send them imessages.

Macrumors posted a solution for this. I used it and it seems to have worked for me.
Here's what they said:
1. Turn off iMessage in Settings > Messages
2. Reset networking settings in Settings > General > Reset
3. Reenable iMessage in Settings > Messages

Why would an iPhone using iMessage be able to send photos to another iPhone using iMessage but not to a third iPhone?

I'm using an iPhone 6+ to send photos to my sister using iMessage. She has an iPhone 5C. We both see "blue" backgrounds on our outgoing messages and grey on incoming messages. We both send and receive photos successfully. However, with another sister, using an iPhone 5, we used to be able to do same until recently. Now our backgrounds for outgoing texts are "green" and if we have a photo in the message we get ''Undelivered" message. I've taken screenshots of my iMessage settings and she claims hers match mine. Are we missing something?

We want your phone working just as well now as it did before your trip, sngbrd9. Are you trying to send the pictures to other Apple users using iMessage or are they being sent through MMS/picture messaging? Are you able to send pictures one at a time to those same contacts without an error? Did you change any settings in your camera to have HDR now instead of a slightly lower resolution with a smaller file size?

why can i send imessage texts but not sms texts ?
When i try to send an sms text ..i get a 'not delivered' message...no error code...imessage works fine...

Very strange, [email protected] Let's get this figured out. Make sure that SMS messages are turned on. Go to Settings>Messages>Send as SMS. Please let me know if this works.

My iphone 5s can send email but not when a pic is attached. Help?

My iphone 5s 7.03 can send email but not with a photo attached. Help?

Fixed!! My cellular/internet provider had to do a restore and now it works

I cannot send iMessages, but my phone still receives iMessages.

For the past two days, my phone has not been sending iMessages, but has still been receiving them from others. When I try to send an iMessage, it will continue to try to send it for hours and hours, rather than just sending it as a text message.
I have tried turning my phone on and off, turning iMessage on and off, and turning my cellular data on and off. None of this has worked.
Is anyone else having this problem, and if so, do you know how to fix it?

Go into Settings>Messages and see if it is turned on and if it is, does it show that it is activated. Try turning it off and then back on again and see what happens.

Clean iPhone charging port with clean dry toothbrush. See if fixed. If not, and if there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send to Apple. If no coverage, clean again with toothbrush and small amount of Isopropyl Alcohol.

How do I update my iPhone 3G firmware but not to the latest version?

How do I update my iPhone 3G firmware but not to the latest version?
I currently am running 3.1 but would like to update it to the 4.1 version (not the latest 4.3 version). How do I do this? I have already gone online and downloaded the 4.1 firmware for iPhone 3G but not sure how to install it. I unzipped the file then tried to do the Shift>Update trick but none of the downloaded files could be selected. Am I doing something wrong?

There is no official way to do what you want, that's why the files can't be selected. iOS 4.2.1 is the last officially signed firmware available for your phone. If you want to install any other firmware you'll have to go elsewhere for instructions as such cannot be discussed here, per this forum's terms of use, sorry.

I had a little time to elaborate with and getting involved more deeply. I found out that there was an old installation of IrfanView (some older version) which probably interacted with the iTunes. After unistallation both iTunes (including registry entries and all files from disk) and that sh*t (=IrfanView), the new iTunes installation ran properly and the problem was solved.
It could be caused by the exact combination of: Win7, iTunes 9 or 10, IrfanView, Lenovo T400 and probably something more I cannot recognize .
p.s. During the problem solution I bought me a brandnew iPhone 4 so I was able to test it both with iPhone 4 and iPhone 3. The result was - It does not matter what iPhone do you have...

I upgraded to lion today and just realized I am not receiving any mail. I can send out but not receive. i'm using a POP Road Runner account. Any help appreciated.

Try Mail->Window->Connection Doctor. If there is a problem reported, try:
Open Mail->Preferences and check your settings.
If you still have a problem, Copy your settings (screen capture ⇧⌘4), delete account, and re-setup account
