Messages Won't Send To Non-iPhones!

So I woke up and my messages won't send to non-iPhones but they will to other iMessage users. Then , I go to my dial pad and I can call out to non-iPhones. This freaking ***** and I need it fixed NOW or I am switching back to android.

Did you make sure that "Send as text if iMessage is not available" is activated in Settings/Messages?

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:

Settings -> Messages -> do you have "Send as SMS" ON?
If not, then your messaging app will be restricted solely to Apple's iMessage service, which only works between iOS devices.

I have a brand new iPad newest version. Wifi. The messaging won't send out but I receive messages from others. What is wrong?

I have the newest version of the iPad (3rd generation) with wifi. The messaging won't send out but I'm receiving messages from others when I'm using it. They also come through on my iphone at the same time. But I can't send them out on the iPad. I tried someone's suggestion of changing the DNS to 8.8.8.8 and that did not work to fix it. What is wrong with this thing? Thank you in advance for your help.

Are you trying to send a message to a cell number or an email address? iPad does MMS, not SMS, meaning it can't send a message to a number. It can send a message to an email address........

My messages won't send

My messages won't send. I have an iPhone 4 with 3G and all day my messages have just been stuck halfway on the bad that shows how far your message is until being sent. Other internet things are working perfectly and I'm at my house with wifi.

Hey Gailboggs,
I found an article that can help troubleshoot issues with the Messages application on your iPhone:

How do you disable i messaging when switching to a non iphone?

How do you disable i messaging when switching to a non iphone?

Nope, that doesn't actually do the trick. It might keep i messages from going to your i phone but still won't allow them to go to your new device.

IPad won't send emails but iPhone does. iPad message says server does not recognise email address resetting account makes no difference what else can I try?,

My iPad won't send emails despite identical settings with iPhone which does work. " server does not recognise email address" resetting account fails to solve issue. What else can I try?

Have you checked ALL the settings including the port assignments? Easiest way to get those back to is to delete the email account from the iPad then redo the email account. Usually the ISP providing the email account will have instructions on their web site.

.Mac won't send email from iphone

This used to work, but lately when I try to email a picture (taken with the iphone camera), from my .mac account on the iphone, it won't send.
Just tested it without a picture, IE sending jsut a text email and it won't do that either.
Any suggestions?

Any error message provided and if so, what is the error message?
I email photos with my .Mac account on my iPhone on a regular basis without any problems.
I just successfully emailed a photo with my .Mac account from my iPhone.

Messages won't send to one person?

I have an iPhone 4 and my messages will not send to my friend. She does not have an iPhone. I can receive her messages but she won't get mine. It's been this way for weeks. I've tried everything. Deleted our messages, deleted her number and just typed the number in a new message thread. I've tried blocking and unblocking her. I reset the network settings. I've read multiple forums and tried everything. Someone please help me.

It is a new problem, not a reply to any...

Messages won't send files via AIM anymore

I've been using Messages via AIM and iMessage and had no problems sending files or images for years until recently. Now AIM won't send files. There's no error message and I can see the image in the conversation window but the recipient doesn't get the file/image. Also when they try to send to me, I don't get the file/image either. This problem has started just this week.
We have had our broadband upgraded and a new router installed but it's in Modem mode and hooked up to our Airport Time Capsule that runs the wifi.
I've read some posts about port changes, but not sure if this would be the case.
Any help much appreciated.
Martin

Hi,
See also AIM Screen Names using @Mac.com or @me.com IDs to end (it is in Mountain Lion's area)
The @mac.com and @me.com name should still work as AIM valid Screen Names.
It is only in iChat up to and including the base version of iChat 6 in Lion.
The Later updated version of iChat 6 should work.
It is because during Lion Apple introduced the double Login to AIM and Apple that allows the app to confirm you can login in with the Apple ID.
Basically unless the app has logged in to Apple with the ID then the AIM server cannot see it.
To certain extent this already was the case in AIM and iChat for @me.com ID once there was no MobileMe server.
All @me.com names that became linked to iCloud IDs get around that by being iCloud IDs.
So... Later versions of iChat 6, Messages 7 in Mountain Lion, Messages 8 in Mavericks and the version in Yosemite (also called version 8) all allow Logins with Apple Issued IDs to the AIM servers.
It does help that you may have "updated" the account yourself along the way - such as Linking an @mac.com to MobileMe when MobileMe came out and again for iCloud.
This may mean that actually you have an Apple ID that has @[email protected] and @icloud.com emails and all those "IDs" works as login names with the same password.

My I messages won't send. Any ideas ?

All of a sudden my I messages will not go through. It says it was sent, and within a second it says it was not sent. When I retry, it still won't send. These messages are to a person that I text all the time, so I know it did work. Any ideas?

Then to answer your original question, "Yes." The Apple Store Genius Bar can help you.

Text messages stall when sending to other iPhone users from my iPhone5- recently started, how to get the texts to go through instantly?

Recently, after updating for i0S7, when texting other iPhone users, my texts never go through. However, if I hold on the test it will give me the option to "send as a text message" and will send immediately (with the green message, unlike the blue that use to send to iPhone users). How can I get these text messages to go immediately?

Reset your network settings:
1) Turn off iMessage
2) Reset network settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Netwok Settings
3) Turn iMessage back on
Note: resetting your network settings will delete any stored WiFi passwords.
Best of luck.
