Multimedia messages,send and receive
Is there an application that you can get so that you can send and receive multimedia messages, ie ,pictures phone to phone.
This is one of the most common used items not to be able to do on that phone.
You can accomplish this via email.
Ask the sender of an MMS to address the MMS to an email address for an email account that you access with your iPhone's mail client. The sender will enter your email address in the To: field for the MMS instead of entering your cell phone number with area code.
The MMS will be received by you as an email with the photo attached to the message. If you also access this email account with an email client on your computer, you will have access to the received photo on your computer as well.
This will give you the sender's cell phone MMS email address - included in the From field for the received email. Add this email address to the contact's info in your iPhone's address book.
Select a photo to be emailed and when addressing the email to the sender's cell phone MMS email address - placing it in the To: field, the email with the photo attached will be received as an MMS by the recipient.

I am not receiving all my txt messages, I think it is because in Setting -> messages -> send and receive, my cell phone number doesnt have a check next to hit. Im not able to check it. any ideas?
Old phone is off and number is fully ported? SIM card new and installed/seated properly? All Apple credentials disabled if coming from iPhone?

on a iphone4, under settings, messages, send and receive, there are multiple phone numbers listed. How do I remove them? they are constantly checked even when i uncheck them. this is causing copies of my text messages to go to those phones.
Are you using the same AppleID for all those phones? If so, get them all their own AppleID.

It's not my phone number under settings / messages/ send and receive, it's greyed out , not ticked and not changeable, so that's probably why iMessages only come into my ipad not my iPhone. Think it'll be the original phone number the phone had before my own number was assigned to it. How can it be changed?
Turn off imessage and turn it back on. Then check the settings again.
If that doesn't work, then you may need to restore from your backup, if that doesn't woirk then restore as new. -
My iPhone only sends and receives messages from email
I am switching my iPhone 3GS formerly on AT&T to Straight Talk. I set up my phone, but the iMessage is acting up. I sign in to my Apple ID, and it has my number (grayed out) and my email as options to send and receive messages. When I go into settings > messages > send and receive, it only shows the email. This is very frustrating and I just want to figure it out. Any ideas?
It's because the phone number hasn't activated yet. This could be because the APN settings for Straight talk are not correct. It also can take up to 24 hours for the number to activate through the iMessage servers.

Trouble send and receiving messages and trouble calling people or receiving phone calls
Hello everyone, I bought a Blackberry Q5 one year ago and has worked perfectly since but on christmas day I had was struggling to send message to people I thought nothing of it since it was christmas and people would be wishing there families and friends a merry christmas. So i just carried on as usual not aware that the problem was much worse then i thought, since then I have tried time and time again to try text people and call them but nothing would happen.
The Problems I am experiencing,
Everytime I try sending a message it fails and times out after a while doesn't matter whom they are being sent to it's the same story no matter who I send them to, and then of course when i try calling someone the phone goes to the calling screen but doesn't make a sound for atleast 10 seconds then a message pops up saying "Call Failure, The call could not be connected. Please try again later". This message appears even when I ring '789' which is the number to find out what my balance is on my contract.
At first I thought it was the Sim what was cauing the problems but when i swapped it into another Virgin phone i received quite an alarming amount of messages what would not come through on my phone, this is when i realised I am not just struggling to send messages but to receive them as well. I have scoured the internet for possible answers but nothing has worked, so far I have tried manually scanning for available networks and selecting the correct one which did not change the problem this didn't make things better nor did it make things worse.
I have also tried changing the data services while roaming settings which again did not make any differences, I have tried changing network mode no changes again, turning the mobile network off all together and then turning it back on after 5 minutes no success there either. I have even reset the phone back to factory setting to try and fix the problem, but no, the problem still will not go away.
Please if there is anyone out there who has any ideas on how to fix what is happening to my phone please do give me your advice, at this moment I really need a miracle to come around at the next corner.Hi rhupa!

OS X Mail: Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3276
Mail Connection Doctor shows one or more red dots in the account Status column
Check your Incoming IMAP or POP and Outgoing SMTP email account settings
Use Apple's online Mail Setup Assistant to discover what the correct settings should be for both your Incoming (IMAP or POP) and Outgoing SMTP email servers. If your email service provider is not listed in the Mail Setup Assistant, visit your email service provider's website or contact their support staff to get the correct settings. You can use this "cheat sheet" when asking your email service provider about the settings you need.
After you have the correct email service provider settings, make sure Mail is configured properly.

I can send and receive to any non iPhone user. I can send a message as a text to an iPhone user but if I'm not connected to cellular data or wifi I do not receive messages from iPhone contacts. From what I understand these message should automatically send to me as texts instead of iMessages but since the update it's not functioning properly. Please help. I've tried turning iMessage off and I still don't receive the messages until after I reconnect to wifi.
I have the same problem! Before the upgrade, if I wasn't connected to the internet, any messages sent to me from an iphone would convert automatically to a text message. I have payg tarriff, so I turn cell data off, as it costs too much to use it. I have wifi at home and work, but if I'm out and about, I don't receive texts from iphone users until I'm on wifi. I get them ok from non iphone users. There was never any problem until ios7

I have 3 phones on one Icloud account. They have been this way for over a year. After an update last week one of the phones started getting messages for all of the other lines. We fixed this under the send and receive under settings. It was fine for a few days. Suddenly it started happening again. Yesterday after two hours on the phone I changed my apple id and it is still happening. Before that Verizon had told me to turn off my imessage when that happened I could not get any texts at all from other Iphone users.
Make 3 different iCloud accounts and use ONLY for iMessage. That will permanently fix your issue.

Is there a software in which I can hook up my iPhone 4s to my computer and send and receive text messages and calls (via headset) through my computer? Whether it's free or cost money, can someone please give me a name of a program or software that allows me to do this? I can't seem to find anything like this for the iPhone.
No.

I import messages into Thunderbird. I send and receive emails. One of the things I like about Thunderbird is that I can insert (image, link, etc) right where I want to, and I can Attach. But not just a simple attach file. No, I can also click Attach and choose Webpage. A lot of web-based emails are plain, simple, no frills - Attach file and that's it.
So I need to have my client be able to do the same thing I do when sending out emails, Namely sending out emails with an Electronic Press Kit (EPK) attached - which is to say, a webpage (not a pdf in our case). So, I need her to download, install, and use Thunderbird.
Here's the problem and my question. She needs to access, send, and receive from my email account. That would be easy if it was simple attach files - she could just login on the web, go to squirrel mail and bang it out.. Here it is: She needs to be able to import the messages to be able to reply to some messages - she needs access to what I have access to. She needs to use Thunderbird so she can take advantage of the features like insert image with link or attaching a webpage. My question is how will this affect my use? Can 2 people simultaneously and from different locations access and use the same email account or is it a case where her importing the emails would cut me off..Is it an either or thing? Basically, can her and I both import the emails or can they only be imported to one location at a time. Because every time someone sends me an email i get it right there on my Thunderbird application..it's imported to my Thunderbird..I want her and I to be able to do that without affecting each other. I don't want her to start importing to her desktop and then I can no longer import. If she says "point those messages to my computer what will happen to my ability to access them on my computer in the same manner I am currently?I think there is a contradiction in your requirements. You want two people to share an account and you don't want either to interfere with the other.
The short and simple answer is to use IMAP to connect to the mail server. If your current email provider doesn't offer IMAP, find another that does. This is old technology already and it's disgraceful that some email providers haven't yet put it in place.
IMAP means that your messages are stored on the server and both of you will see exactly the same set of messages. And therein lies the contradiction; you will both see changes made by the other so you are inherently interfering with one another.
Caveats: some providers may not permit you both to access the account concurrently, and even if they do, things may become interesting if you both choose to work on the same message simultaneously.
Note that all of this is about email servers and protocols; your choice of Thunderbird as your email client has little bearing on the situation. -
I have a new iPhone 6 plus and all is OK. But the mail shows more than 400 'unread' messages whereas there are none in the mailbox or trash or anywhere else I have looked. I can send and receive with no problem. I'm sure I have no unread messages.
jsavage9621,
It pains me to hear about your experience with the Home Phone Connect. This device usually works seamlessly and is a great alternative to a landline phone. It sounds like we've done our fair share of work on your account here. I'm going to go ahead and send you a Private Message so that we can access your account and review any open tickets for you. I look forward to speaking with you.

My daughter has a new iPad Touch and I have a 3GS with 5.0.1. She wants to send and receive a million messages from me each day day with iMessage. Right now, I have Settings>Messages>Send As SMS - OFF. With this current setting, can I be assured I am using the WiFi only and not burning my SMS allotment from ATT? Am I safe to restore Send As SMS setting to ON? In other words, will the default method of transmission of text messages be through the internet, when that service is available?
Without waiting for a $1000 bill from ATT for text messages, can I ensure I'm sending and receiving iMessages through the WiFi only?Well, I just noticed that a shaded iMessage appears in the enter text window when sending to her iPod Touch and my messages appear in a blue balloon, with her replies are in gray balloons. When sending to someone with another kind of phone, the text entry window says "Text Message" and my balloons are green. I guess this is an indication that the iMessage system is working and I'm not blowing through my SMS allotment from ATT.
With these indications, can I be sure I'm messaging through the iMessage system, or the carrier's SMS service? -
My wife and I share the same email address and Apple ID. We are not able to send and receive Text Messages to one another. Is the cause of this because we share the same Apple ID? Will we have to set up 2 separate primary email addresses to be able to send and receive Tex Messages to one another? Like I said, we share the same email address and woul like to keep it that way to keep up with our email together. Is there a way to by-pass having to set up 2 primary emaill addresses if this is the problem?
Thanks.go to the settings and turn off imessage
but that don't change the issue that you will never be able to facetime eachtoher
the appleID is really meant as the handle that identify you it was not meant to be shared
but can see that people may want to do not buy apps more then once
