My imessage is frozen from too many text messages being sent all at one like a spam?

How do i get it to unfreeze?

Do a reset, no data loss.  Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

  • Why are my text messages being sent from my e-mail?

    Just recently  I reset the password to my apple ID and ever since it has been sending text messages through my e-mail. I will open my text messaging app but my friends are still telling my i am texting them through my email. I tried lookinng under my measaging settings and for my icloud it had my email selected and it would  not let me select my phone number.

    Hey Bgrossman,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like you are signed into your Apple ID (email address) in your iMessage settings:

    To sign out of your Apple ID
    1. Go to Settings > FaceTime, tap your Apple ID, and select Sign Out.
    2. Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive, tap your Apple ID, and select Sign Out.
    Thanks,

  • Text messages being sent in MIME format?

    i currently receive work pages as text messages on my iphone 3gs. our system generates these pages as emails to [phone number]@mms.att.net. the person supporting this system reports that when i accept ownership for a given page (this is an on-call rotation) the message format is MIME...it needs to be plain text. these issues began after my upgrade to the latest iOS - 4.2.1.
    any ideas?

    When you go to Messages > New message a list of all possible contacts from the same person appears, in blue when supporting iMessages, green for texts and grey to non available phones/mails.
    Make sure you select the correct one when creating a new message.

  • 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?

  • Text messages being sent as iMessages

    Hi folks, My wife and I have a strange problem with our iPhone 5's where our SMS messages occasionally get sent as iMessages and as a result we never get them on our phones.
    Background - We both have iPhone 5's, I have an iPad 3, she has an iPad 4. All software is the latest updates available. We live in a rural area so wifi is only really available at home and the occasional McDonald's, so the only time iMessage is of any real use is when we are at home and want to iMessage friends. This results in both the iPhone and the iPad informing us that we have an iMessage and quickly becomes annoying during an extended conversation so we have turned off iMessage on our phones and use it exclusively on our iPads.
    The problem- on a few occasions in the last 2 weeks we have replied to a SMS message sent by one of us and the SMS reply has been sent as an iMessage. As a result it was not received until we return home and view the iPad. Now I understand that iMessages are supposed to be sent as SMS if the recipient is not able to receive an iMessage but NOT the other way around. It makes even less sense when you consider we both have iMessage turned off on our phones.
    Once it occurs it can be ages before the system restores itself to work correctly as well. A few days ago I had returned home to discover the message my wife had sent and was puzzled as to how it happened. I turned off the iPads and checked that iMessage was still off on both our phones (it was). Yet all efforts to send me an SMS from her phone to my phone resulted in an iMessage, not an SMS, the SMS option was not available as it continually defaulted to iMessage. How is this possible?

    iMessage does not require WiFi. It requires a data connection. Between iOS devices, if you have iMessage turned on, iMessage is the default. Do you, perchance, have cellular data turned off on your phones? That's the only reason I can think of that you wouldn't get iMessages on your phone outside of a WiFi connection. And yes, both devices will notify you of messages if you have notifications turned on on both. And yes, if your contact is messaging you from an iOS device and your iPad is on at home and your cellular data is turned off on your phone, the iPad would get the message.

    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.

  • Activating imessage cost 31 sents? Cost is from an international text message used to activate Imessage, is this normal?

    It is costing me 31 cents everytime I switch Imessage on. Charge comes  from an international text message used to activate Imessage, is this normal?

    If you are using a supported iPhone carrier, they usually do not charge for this. It is an international text to the UK server to activate iMessage and FaceTime. You need to take this up with your carrier. If you are not using a supported carrier, you will just have to deal with it if you want to use iMessage and FaceTime.

  • How do I reset the number of activations on Visio 2003 after getting a "too many activations" message?

    I just installed Visio 2003 on a PC, and got the "we can't activate this app via the internet because you've installed it too many times" message. I went back to phone activation, but, of course, that's no longer available for this product.
    How do I get the number of activations reset? Apparently you used to be able to do this by calling Microsoft, but what's the number to call? Or is there another way to do it?
    I'm probably going to need to do it for my copy of Office 2003 also.

    Hi,
    Microsoft has ended support for Office 2003 on April 8, 2014. This change will affect your software updates and security options.
    Please contact your local customer service. Explain to the service (Human being) that you can’t activate Visio 2003 and the error message is “we can't
    activate this app via the internet because you've installed it too many times”.
    You can find
    your local custom support number on the link below.http://support.microsoft.com/gp/customer-service-phone-numbers/en-us
    Hope it can be helpful.

    This feature only works with people who have iMessage on their iPhone.  If you are sending a text to someone with a blackberry etc, you will not get the delivery messages.
