Is it possible to send international texts from iChat?

I was wondering if one could send international texts using iChat. Or even Messages. Google has a texting service for offline chats. However this is not supported by the IM client. Does anybody know how to use this service using iChat?

You can chat with anyone connected to the internet.
iChat can use Google Chat, you just specify that the account uses Jabber Protocol.
I currently have iChat connected to AOL Instant Messenger, Google Chat, and my company's Jabber based chat system. All accounts working concurrently via iChat on Lion.
As long as you and the person(s) you are chatting with are using the same chat service (Apple's iCloud, AOL's Instant Messenger, Google's chat (Jabber based), or any other Jabber based service), it does not matter what country they are located in.
And you can use a service such as Skype to do phone calls (of course you can do audio and video via iChat and Google's chat as well)

Is it possible to send a text to several contacts at the same time and not have their replies go to everyone on the list? I have an iphone 4s and most of the people I am texting also have iPhones. I do have group messaging turned off.

Is it possible to send a text from the iphone 4s to several contacts and not have their replies go to everyone else on the original text? I have group messaging turned off but this seems to do nothing.

Do this instead:
Email everyone instead of texting and use BCC: which will hide all of the people's emails.

Since installing iOS 5 I am unable to send international texts to contacts.

After intsalling iOS 5 (aswell as 5.0.1 a few days ago) I am unable to send international text messages, both sms and imessages, to anyone in my contact list. I can though send them if I manually insert their number.
This does in fact automatically substitute the inserted number with the entry I have in my contact list, yet will only send the message this way.
If I simply select someone from my contact list, it will give me a "message send failure" error.
I have attempted this through an Iphone 4 with a +44 vodafone sim to Italian (+39) numbers.

Also, I have attempted this with both the International Assist on and off. The sim seems to work normally on other phones.

I also need to send group msg to about 100 people which was possible in Symbian, but in Lumia group limit is 25 (how ridiculous!)
Now I have made several groups of 25 & send few mgs.
But what I don't like is, group sms are shown in different thread, so when someone replies, his thread doesn't show the group msg so I can't make out to which msg I am getting reply.
Earlier Symbian used to send group msg as individual sms so replies used to show all sms, sent & received. Symbian system was better for me.
Using Nokia Lumia 1320.
Also have Nokia E72 & Nokia N8.

Is it possible to send/receive imessages from different countries?

Is it possible to send/receive imessages from different countries?

Yes. iMessage works with any iOS device that has a cellular or wifi connection.
I would recommend disabling the "Send as SMS" option on your phone. This causes iMessage to switch over to SMS if there is an issue with iMessage & can result in your carrier charging you for international messages.

Can't send International Texts

Hi, I can't send an international text from the UK from my Iphone 3gs. I put my sim in another phone (an old Motorola) and I could send the text, so the number is right etc. I've also done a reset on my Iphone but it still says 'not delivered'. Has anyone got any ideas on how to fix this please.
Thanks in advance

If you are entering the full international number (with the +) then make sure that in Settings>Phone Dial Assist is turned OFF

When I attempt to send a text from the new iPad, a dialog box appears with the option to either sign in with Apple ID Password or Create New Account. I try signing in using my Apple ID password but IMessage informs me that email address cannot be verified

When I attempt to send a text from the new iPad, a dialog box appears with the option to either sign in with Apple ID Password or Create New Account. I try signing in using my Apple ID password but IMessage informs me that email address cannot be verified because it is already in use ??? What am I doing wrong?

settings -> iTunes & App Store
click on apple ID listed there
select Sign Out
sign in with the proper account
from then on, when the store ask for your password it should be with the correct ID

When I send a text from my iPad, it shows that it comes from my email address. If I then text that same someone from my iPhone it still shows as if its coming from my iPad. How do I stop this?

When I send a text from my iPad, it shows that it comes from my email address. If I then text that same someone from my iPhone it still shows as if its coming from my iPad. How do I stop this?

On your iPhone, go to Settings -> Messages -> Receive At -> Caller ID and make sure the phone number is selected - this will cause new messages sent from your iPhone to appear to come from your iPhone phone number.
(I actually prefer to have my email selected, so that when I message someone from my iPhone and they reply, it goes to both my iPhone and iPad)
Also, when you send a message from your iPhone, make sure you're not replying within an existing conversation (that was created on your iPad and linked to your email). Just start a new conversation (even if it's to the same person) by going to the Messages app, going back to "Messages" (top left corner) if you're already looking at a conversation, and then clicking the Compose icon in the top right.

Is it possible to send a text message using the UDP protocol?

Support doc
http://www.adobe.com/support/director/multiuser/using_udp/using_udp02.html
says to use the following format with connectToNetServer:
errCode =
gMultiuserInstance.connectToNetServer([#remoteAddress:
"chatServer.myCompany.com", #logonInfo: [#userID: "Bob",
#password:
"MySecret", #movieID: "Tech Chat"], #mode: #smus,
#localUDPPort: 1627,
#localAddress: "123.45.67.89", #remoteTCPPort: 1626])
But if I change the mode to #text, it still sends out
messages as smus.
In fact, if I leave out the UDP parameters altogether but
still use the
list parameters for connectToNetServer, it still always sends
as smus.
Sends as smus:
errCode =
gMultiuserInstance.connectToNetServer([#remoteAddress:
"chatServer.myCompany.com", #logonInfo: [#userID: "Bob",
#password:
"MySecret", #movieID: "Tech Chat"], #mode: #text,
#localUDPPort: 1627,
#localAddress: "123.45.67.89", #remoteTCPPort: 1626])
Sends as smus:
errCode =
gMultiuserInstance.connectToNetServer([#remoteAddress:
"chatServer.myCompany.com", #logonInfo: [#userID: "Bob",
#password:
"MySecret", #movieID: "Tech Chat"], #mode: #text])
Only the string parameter method can be made to send text
messages.
Sends as text:
errCode = gMultiuserInstance.connectToNetServer("Bob",
"MySecret",
"chatServer.myCompany.com", 1626, "Tech Chat", 1)
Am I missing something? Is this a known issue? Anyone have a
work around?

Drat!
Thanks for the answer though.

Why does my iphone send all text from only one of my contacts to my email?

Why does my iphone send all text from only one of my contacts to my email? I'm curious to know if anyone else has had this issue with the Iphone 5s...

imessage has a new setting that shows all emails associated with your apple id. There are two sections, send and receive. Since you are using the same apple id, Im sure if you adjust one of those settings to your mobile number instead of your appleid, it wont send double.
You might also have to adjust your wifes settings too, so those emails dont overlap

Whenever I send a text from my iphone 5 my text messages are appearing on other apple devices in the household. ie Iphone 4 and Ipod.
How do I stop this occurring.

You'll have to deselect your phone number on the other devices in Settings/Messages/Receive at/

Can I send a text from my ipad to a droid?

Can I send a text from my ipad to a droid?

IF YOU ONLY HAVE WIFI: you can download a texting app (which gives you your own #) and then YES, you can text anyone's cell phone or device as long as they have a phone # as well.
IF YOU HAVE 3G (INTERNET EVERYWHERE) OR A TEXTING PLAN: YES you can, if you have 3G, then follow the instructions for wifi
if you have 3g, then you should be able to enter the messaging application on your iPad and send a message to anyone with a valid phone #!
I hope I was able to help you converse with whoever you are trying to converse with...

Hi Sridhar,
>>>>>>i need to send an acknowledgement for the sender<<<<
In File>XI>Idoc scenario, you may not able to send acknowledgements back to the file. But to handle the acknowledgements from the IDoc using Idoc adapter, refer to the how-to-guide at the following link.
