Just wondering why an email or text message cannot be sent to prepaid customers to let us know when another card is needed. Straight talk does this a week in advance. Thanks
JJust wondering why an email or text message cannot be sent to prepaid customers to let them know another card is needed in order to keep their service? Other carriers do this
Perhaps you can sign into your MyVerizon account online and see if the options are available, but not turned on.

I keep greeting this message trying to set up iPad mini
Apple ID could not be created because of a server error on screen after term and conditions are accepted. What does this mean and how do I fix fix it? Has anyone else had this problem?Antonio,
Show ... it worked ... you are the man! This hint of clicking the right mouse button on the prompt and run as Administrator was perfect.
Thank you very much -
Hello I am just wondering why there is a message of error 1004 when i tryed to make the update on my apps. Does someone know what it means?
Yes, many know what this means. You can too. Just type in "error 1004" in the search box at the top of this page. Or, just look to the right. You'll find many links in the "More Like This" box.
Always good forum etiquette to search for previous posts on the topic before posting. -
My iPhone no longer gives me audible alerts for email and text messages. Just stopped. Help.
My iPhone just stopped giving me audible notifications for email and text messages. It still rings for calls. I have checked the settings for "Sounds" and they have not changed. However, in these settings when I try to change the sound I get only the vibration and not the sample sound. Can anyone help?

I used to be able to increase the size font of the persons name sending me an email or text message. I have an iphone 5 and can no longer do that. Help!
Just the name? Don't ever recall that being a feature. However, for Mail and Messages (and a few other apps): Settings app > General > Text Size

Why are my group text messages being sent as pictures
My group text messages are being sent as pictures or images and I don't know why. It just started happening, I've sent them before without to the same people without this happening. I can sent text messages to each person individualy and they are delivered as text. Is there some setting I can change?
HI. I had the same thing the other day. I sent a link to 40 people and got charged for 40 picture messages. I phoned my network provider and they said it is an apple fault (iphone).
If you send a group 'Text' to more than 6 people, the iphone somehow marks it as a MMS or picture message. I get free texts and was shocked to be charged, but they did look into my messages and could see it was not an image and refunded me.
If they are right, its an apple problem. Can anyone shed sme light on this? -
Send contact info in email or text message on iphone
How can I send contact information in an email or a text message? Also, is there are way that I can copy information within a contact, email or text message for use elsewhere?
You guys just wait ! !
The iPhone is simply a breakthrough... It's interface is revolutionnary.
Of course many functions are missing right now (I myself could list a good 5 cruelly missing features, but it's not the object of this answer...).
But here's a thought :
Apple is NEW at this... The most important part of a phone is...to be able to make or receive a call... that has to be ALWAYS working.
So, Apple is making sure that the iPhone is STABLE. In order to do so, it needs to proceed cautiously, adding a bunch of features aphazardly would probably cause the iphone to crash regularly, something Apple simply can't let happen : IT'S STILL A PHONE ! !
It's true Apple seems to have made some wrong choices at the beginning (ex: no third-party apps !), but they have come back from that !They will soon deliver a platform for third-party apps that will guarantee stability.
So, I am positive that the future updates will allow us to do EVERYTHING a Blackberry does (or any other phone...)in a much smoother way too...
But if being patient is the price to pay for stability, I can wait !
Some of you will argue that Apple should have work out these kinks sooner and launch a "finished" product. Do that I would answer : you've got to launch it sometimes ! If you wait too long, you might get passed by...
It seems that the iPhone is a succes despite its faults... Apple has established their customer base and I think it will now start to Deliver even more on the iPhone !
And to think I don't even own stock ! How could I write such a dithyrambic post ! ! -
Why do i get text messages on my computer but not my phone
why do i get text messages on my computer on my computer but not my phone
You are getting iMessages, and they are going to your Apple ID email. Check the settings on your phone to see what you have checked for Send and Receive from, and then also check start conversation from. If you are sending from your Apple ID, this is what your friends are sending to.

My iPhone 5 has lost network coverage. Wifi is still ok just can't receive calls or text messages (iMessages are ok though? ). I've re set network settings but that hasn't helped. Has anyone else come across this? Thanks!

My Macbook pro is rejecting my Iphone 5 charger. When ever I plug it in it says that the usb is taking to much power, yet when i plug in a different Iphone 5 charger it works fine. I'm just wondering why this is happening and how to fix it?
My Macbook pro is rejecting my Iphone 5 charger
Do you actually mean the white cable with a lightning plug on one end and a USB on other
If so that is not the charger ,that is the cable
The charger is the device that plugs into the mains socket
If so
cable may be faulty if less than 12 months old take it to Apple Store genius bar for checking -
Before I switched to an iPhone it was possible for someone to email a message that was received as a text message (SMS). there are times that receiving a text message is much more convenient than checking email. The AT&T web site says it should be possible to do this by emailing a message as follows:
"All AT&T wireless phones are set up to send and receive e-mail messages by using the following address: [email protected] You can exchange short e-mails with any e-mail address worldwide."
However, when I or anyone else tries to do this to my iPhone the email immediately bounces back with the message of "no such user" or something like that.
It is clear that on the iPhone you cannot enter anything other than numbers when you want to text someone but I would be content if I could receive texts that originate as an email.
AT&T says this feature doesn't work on iPhones.
However, I went into an Apple store and an employee successfully emailed a text message to themselves on their iPhone
I think the problem is that AT&T somehow messed up my account so that they don't have a way of accepting an email intended for my text messaging.
Can anyone shed any light on this? I have a 3GS.
Thanks,

you CANNOT enter an email address in the "To:" field of the Message app on an iPhone. first of all the entry keyboard that pops up when you are in the Messages app only has letters and numbers. there is no way to enter the "@" symbol or a ".". even if you copy an email address and paste it into the "To:" field, when you try and send the SMS the "." and the "@" are removed.
give it a try and see what you see.
but, that isn't what I want to do. I want someone sitting at a computer using any old email client to send an email that gets sent to as a SMS. to do that the person should enter:
[email protected]
when the person does that with my cell phone number, the email gets bounced back. have you tried this on your computer using your cell phone number and the rest of the address above and iPhone and does it work?
thanks,

I upgraded my phone to the latest operating system a few days ago. I really like the gray suggested text boxes that appeared when typing an email or text message. That function has stopped. How do I get it back?
Make sure you have "Predictive" turned on (green) in Settings > general > Keyboards.
