Is my iPad limited to iMessages? I can't seem to send text messages to non iPhone/iMessage users...grrrr
Frustration is setting in after using my new mini iPad. My text messages seem to be limited to iMessages!? Horrible since my friends and family are not all iphone users! Is my iPad limited to iMessages? I cant text my daughter who has the Droid or others that don't have iMessage users!!!
The phone number on the iPad is not active for cell voice, only for cellular data. You are not paying anything for voice or SMS (texting services) on your iPad, only for cell data. Texts to non-iOS devices would have to be SMS and use the cell voice system which is not present on your iPad.
There are apps, such as TextFree, which will assign you a virtual phone number and allow you to emulate sending SMS messages from and to your iPad.

Can you send text messages to non-ipod touch users
Is there an app on the ipod touch you can download to send text messages to non-ipod touch users?
if you are using imessages on your ipod you can only send messages to apple products suchs as ipad, iphone, and ipod touch . but if you would like to send messages to a phone that is not an apple product you can download a texting app like text + or pinger.

Most likely your carrier has not enabled texting on your phone. -
HT3529 can my daughter send text messages to non iphone users with only an apple id?
Can you send a text message from ipod touch to non iphone users with only an apple id and no phone number?
The Apple Messages app will only send Messages to another uses who has the Messages app on their iPod touch, iPad or iPhone. For Messsging an iPod touch or iPad you use the E-mail address they have in Settings>Messages>Send and Receive. An Phone number will also be listed if they also have an iPhone with iOS 6 using the same Apple ID and yo can use the number.
You can Message an iPhone by its phone number of the Apple ID email address listed in Settings>Messages>Send and Receive. -

Why do text messages from my iPad appear to some people as if they came from my email address instead of my phone number? This does not happen when I send text messages from my iPhone.
You need to link your iPhone number to Messages - and Facetime if you use it. For Messages go to Settings>Messages>Send and Receive at>You can be reached by iMessage at. If your phone number is showing there, select it as your Contact address. If it doesn't appear in there, take a look at the end of this article for help.

I can't send or receive text messages from non iphone users
Under Settings - Messages, do it state Sens SMS ON? Should be (this applies to imessage but just in case).
Same area, MMS Messaging is on? Should be.
If all else fails, go into Settings General Reset - Reset Network Settings (this will lose WiFi info but fixes a lot of messaging errors). -

Another thing you can try is to ensure that the setting for ( send as sms if imessage unavailable ) is turned on, this can be found in Settings : Messages. If this doesnt work you can also try changing the contact details to read mobile instead of iphone.
That setting is not relevant to sending SMS messages to non-iPhones. It only affects what happens when an iMessage won't go through to an iOS device. And, what the phone number is labeled has no effect on anything. You could create a custom label "Rutabaga" and the SMS would still go through if the account was properly provisioned. Those labels are for human brain convenience only. -
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.

Hi! I brought an iPhone 4 off my friend at work. The day I brought it, it was working fine but now I can't seem to send any messages or make phone calls. The network is showing up fine but each time I try to make a call it says "call failed" I can't seem to send any messages either? I can use the Internet fine and everything else on the phone. Can anyone help?
Hi chelsinator,
You can reset the phone and it won't cause any problems or cause you to lose any data - Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Silver Apple appears.
The other thing you should do is to reset your network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. You will have to set up your Wifi again, but that oftentimes clears things up.
Cheers,

How can I retrieve my deleted text messages from my iPhone 5s? I don't sync to a computer, only to iCloud. My last backup was 2/19/14.
Unless you had them backed up somewhere, I'm afraid they are gone.

Messages sent using iCloud will be visible from any Apple device using the Apple ID and that can access iMessage.
