Messages not sending to non iphone users

I used to be able to run ALL of my messages through the message program on my macbook - including SMS messages. I upgraded from iPhone 5 16gb to iPhone 6 64gb yesterday and I can no longer run SMS messages from my macbook pro. Is there a way for me to fix this issue?

Hi,
On the iPhone Turn Off the text Forwarding then turn it On again and then use the new Code number the Mac should show you.
Basically reset it.
You may need to try different lengths of time before you turn it On again to prompt the Mac to deliver the Code number.

  • If only using wifi, will I still receive text messages and calls from non iPhone users?

    If only using wifi (turning off Cellular Data) will I still receive text messages and calls from non iPhone users?

    If you have cell service with a text plan, yes.

  • Text messages on the Iphone 5c do not forward to non-Iphone users.  How can I communicate with both Iphone users and non-Iphone people?

    How can I create a setting that allows me to text to Iphone users and non-Iphone users?  Where do I find those settings?

    That is the default behavior when startng a message to a number that is not associated with iMessage. such as that of non iPhones.
    If you choose to user an email address it will always attempt to send an iMessage.
    For ease of identifcation, Messages sent thorugh SMS will be green in the Messages App, while iMessages will be blue.

  • Why cant i send or receive picture messages to and from non iphone users?

    i have an iphone 4 and i cant send picture messages or receive them from non iphone users. what do i need to do?

    These headings should appear (in order) when you go to Settings > Messages:
    iMessage
    Send Read Receipts
    Send as SMS (the one I asked you to turn on in most recently)
    Send & Receive
    MMS Messaging (the one I asked you to turn on in the first post)
    Group Mesaging
    Show Subject Field
    Character Count
    Hopefully this is what you see.  Otherwise, please post a screen shot.

  • IMessage won;t send to non iPhone users

    iMessage has always worked just like texting on my phone. I use ATT and would simply text from my computer and would perfectly integrate with iPhone and send messages to anyone on any OS on any network without fail. I do not have nor do I want an Aim account. I recently upgraded to MAvericks and now iMessage will only send emssages to other iPhone users. Please help make ti work just like it did with Mountain Lion and jsut like they promise it will work with Yosemite. Thanks!

    You will be able to do that with Yosemite and iOS 8. Your Mac will connect with your phone over bluetooth and send an SMS message via the iPhone.
    It never worked in Mavericks that way.
    As KOT states, iMessages only works from AppleID to AppleID on iDevices.
    From AT&T's Website, you can send a text to any other AT&T customer:

  • Certain Text messages not received by certain iphone users

    hi, i am not receiving certain text messages from certain iphone users. I previously had a iphone 4 and i already turned off the imessage on the phone.

    Hello Justinwong221,
    Have no fear, help is here! I can help with receiving text from iPhone users. I'm glad to see that you have turned off iMessage. The next step is to delete the entire text conversation from your phone and the mobile numbers that you are having issues with and start a new conversation. If the old conversation was originated with iMessage then the issue will not be resolved until the entire thread is deleted on both devices. While this can be tedious, depending on how many iPhone users you know, this is a major step in getting this resolved. Once you have done so then please keep us posted.
    Thank you...

  • Messages not sending on my iPhone 4 after iOS 4.3.2 Update!

  • I thought Yosemite would allow iMac to text non-iphone users.

    I updated my iMac with Yosemite and everything is working well.  However, I am unable to use the Messages app to text non-iphone users.  According to the Apple page that describes the new Yosemite features it says:
    SMS
    More ways to get your message across.
    With OS X Yosemite and an iPhone running iOS 8, you can send and receive SMS text messages right from your Mac. So when friends text you — regardless of what phone they have — you can respond from your Mac or your iPhone, whichever is closest.2 All the messages that appear on your iPhone now appear on your Mac, too, so your conversation is up to date on all your devices. You can also start an SMS or iMessage conversation on your Mac by clicking a phone number in Safari, Contacts, Calendar, or Spotlight.
    I've tried clicking on the intended recipient's number in my Contacts, and typing the number in manually, but I get the message "Your message could not be sent.      XXXXXXXXXX is not registered with iMessage."   Does anyone have any suggestions?

    I followed all of the directions and was able to get FaceTime on my MacBook Pro to make a phone call through my iPhone 5S in close proximity. But, I cannot get Messages on my MacBook Pro to send a SMS text via my iPhone 5S. I cannot believe that it only works with an iPhone 6! That would be a HUGE disappointment!

  • IMessage stopped working with non-iphone users suddenly

    I was able to text message from iMessage with non-iPhone users after the last update and now I suddenly can't.  The phone numbers are in read and the messages won't go through.  What happened?

    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

    Or you can use your Apple ID to register with this site and go the Apple BugReporter. Supposedly you will get an answer if you submit feedback.

    You use Restore to get the latest firmware build, not the Update button. You can only use the Update button, if there is an iOS update, say iOS 5.1.
    this link talks about updating to 9A406 to fix the "No Service" issue with iPhone 4S:

  • My Iphone 4 isn't letting me send messages to non-Iphone users

    My phone is on a 60 dollar monthly plan, in which my father an I did not know. We went to walmart and purchased a $50 prepaid card. It worked at first, and then when I sent messages to ANYONE, I got a message saying: "You have insufficient funds to send message". I finally got fed up, and we went to Verizon. When there, the guy said that because I'm on a 60 dollar plan, that's why my phone has been acting funky, so he had us put 10 dollars into the account, hopping that it would even everything out, because I'm on a 60 dollar plan. Well. It was working fine, I was texting my friends and what not. One in particular was a non-iphone user, and now each time I try sending a message to any non-iphone user, the message fails and it tells me that I have insufficient funds. However, my phone sends messages just fine to other iphone users. Help please...

    It sounds as if you have insufficient funds on your account to send SMS messages. However, you apparently still have sufficient data to send iMessages. You'll need to contact Verizon and make arrangements either to add more money to your account or change your plan.

    Most likely your carrier has not enabled texting on your phone.

  • IPhone 4s wont send picture messages to non iPhone users.

    I've tried reinstalling the IOS 6, changing the settings, shutting off the phone. I can not send picture messages to non iPhone users but can send texts and receive texts and receive picture messages. just can't send. Help.

        jannwj, sending and receiving pictures is very important these days because we try to capture the moment all the time. I know this issue is frustrating because I take, send, and receive pictures at least 20 times a day. I researched  your issue and did not find this as a known issue. Do you receive a error message? I recommend checking your message settings to ensure they are enabled. I have listed the steps below:
    1) From the home screen, select Settings.
    2) Select Messages.
    3) From MMS Messaging, drag the switch left or right to enable / disable.  Enabled when set to ON.
    Please let me know if this helps. Also ensure the data network is enabled. I have listed steps below:
    1) From the home screen, select Settings.
    2) Select General.
    3) Select Cellular.
    4) Drag the Cellular Data switch left or right to enable / disable cellular data.
    On /Celluar data enabled
    Off /Cellular data disabled
