My iMessaging keeps turning into regular text messaging

My iMessaging always stops working, it works for a while then doesnt. It turns my messages into regular text messages, and i want it to stay on imessaging.

http://■On iPhone, if iMessage is unavailable, the message may be sent as SMS or MMS, depending on content. Carrier messaging rates may apply. You can adjust this behavior in iPhone at Settings > Messages > Send As SMS. Messages sent using iMessage appear in a light blue bubble, while messages sent using SMS or MMS appear in a green bubble.

  • With another user, who recently got an iPhone, everytime I send an iMessage, it turns into a text. So it ends up with her sending iMessages while I send text messages. How can I fix this

    My friend recently got an iPhone today. Before our conversations were with the green bubble, because I had an iPhone and she didn't. Now that she got her iPhone, she texted me and I received it as an iMessage, but when I would reply it would send as a text message. I have made sure that my iMessage setting are set up properly, and that he phone I marked as an I phone in the contact but it's not working

    When other users with the same 5s as I have, text her, it's iMessage as well and they're not having the same issue. I don't know why this is happening. I've tried deleting the contact and restarting my phone but nothing works

  • HT1688 why are my imessages now turning into text messages all the time?

    Why are my iMessages now turning into text messages all the time?

    There are a number of reasons why they may be sent as regular sms and not iMessages. If either party is in an area with poor reception and the the data network is struggling, the regular sms messages will be sent to the recipient. iMessage can be switched off at a users convienince, your recipients may have iMessage turned off when you've sent those messages.
    There are instances where the iMessage server is not responding due to techinical issues (although, few and far between)

  • TS2755 i need to know how to block someone from sending me txt/imessges and calling me. they have a iphone too so i have been told the only way to block them is to turn off my imessages and only recieve regular txt messages. is there another way to block

    how do u block someone from sending imessages and txt and calling ur phone when they have a iphone also. I have been told the only way is to turn off my imessages and recieve regular text messages.. is there another way?? i have searched for apps and cant find one. neeed help!!!

    There are no apps and that is not a feature of iOS.
    iMessages are handled by Apple's own system, and there is no way to block a specific sender.
    SMS messages and voice calls are handled by your cell service provider, so you need to ask them what blocking (if any) features they offer.  If the texts are just spam, you should be able to report them to your carrier and they can block that sender.  Other blocking options will vary from carrier to carrier, so call yours and ask them what they can do.

  • My iPhone does not always send iMessages to other iPhones who have their iMessages on. Most times I text a new contact with an iPhone first, they show up as regular text messages. How can I fix this?

    Yes to receive an iMessage the recipient would need an iOS device (iPhone, iPod, iPad) and an internet connection. This is a messaging serviceprovided by Apple so the recipient does not need to check emails. If the contact does not have internet access at the time the iMessage is sent then a normal SMS through your carrier can be sent instead if you have "Send as SMS" turned on in Settings>Messages.

  • How can i switch from a regular text message to iMessage for a contact

    I had this contact we used iMessage but since 2 days ago it went back to regular text message, how I can put back to iMessage?

    The contact and you will use iMessage - if it's available.  One of you may not be on WiFi or using a cellular carrier that supports iMessage.  Presumably neither of you turned off Settings > Messages > iMessage.

  • I only have access to wifi, imessage started defaulting to green text message instead of blue imessage to people who it previously worked fine with.  Now I can't send outdoing messages, i have turned SMS off and it still does this, any suggestions?

    I only have access to wifi, imessage started defaulting to green text message instead of blue imessage, thus they fail to send, I have turned off SMS and restarted the phone and the problem gotinues.  Any suggestions?

    iPads only support iMessage. You cannot send SMS with any of the native iOS functionality on it. There may be some apps in the app store that will, and certainly several messaging platforms (but read the descriptions carefully).

  • Regular text messages sometimes not being send

    At random times I experience a problem when sending a text message suddenly an error shows up saying "message not sent" and this occurs for all messages/contacts. Only solution at that time is to reboot the device, click the "try to send again" button and it works like a charm again. This is quite annoying. Someone who experienced the same problem and/or have a solution for it?
    Thanks.

    If, by "regular text messages" you're referring to SMS messages (green bubbles), the Send as SMS setting is irrelevant. It only affects the behavior of iMessages.
    I don't have any definite solutions. Have you tried calling your carrier to see if they are having issues? Try resetting your network settings (Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings).
    Best of luck.

  • I am using an I phone 5 in Germany and trying to get text messaging to work through the hands free Bluetooth connection on a Honda CRV. It keeps telling me that text messaging is not a feature of my phone. messages come in on the phone.How to resolve ?

    mono 8 bit 8k is 64kbps, yes. 8 bits times 8,000 = 64,000 = 64k bits/sec.
    And yes I think that's a typo - there's no such thing as 'Mone' that I've ever heard of...
    But you might want to check to find out if this is a mu-law non-linear format, possibly - there are several ways that 8 bit 8k wav files can be encoded, and typically phone systems don't use linear ones. If you have a log-in to Zultys' user-base system they have an FAQ there, I believe - the answer might be in that, and it won't cost $500.

  • My pointer keeps turning into a colorful spinning pinwheel. Mac OS X (10.5.8) using a wireless mouse and keyboard, desktop computer

    My pointer keeps turning into a colorful spinning pinwheel. Mac OS X(10.5.8) using a wireless mouse and keyboard ,desktop computer.

    The spinning wait cursor (or "beachball") generally means there's some problem that's causing the current app to freeze, or slowing down the current application, or that's slowing down the whole system. 
    Here's an overview of the spinning wait cursor.
    Make a backup first, using the Disk Utility tool booted from your installation DVD to external storage.  This backup to ensure you still have access to your most current and complete data, shut this be a problem with your hardware.
    Then use Utilities > Activity Monitor.app and the Utilities > Console.app tools to see what's going on, and whether there are related errors being logged. 
    There are some general troubleshooting articles around, too.

  • HT2500 I had sent an email that was too big to go. It keeps popping into my "Recovered Messages folder I empty my "Recovered Messages"& it comes Back & its blocking all my incoming emails

    First, you need to show folders and files which are normally invisible. To do this, open Terminal in Utilities and copy/paste
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool true
    Hit return, then copy/paste
    killall Finder
    and hit return again.
    Next hit Cmd-Shift-G and enter ~/Library/Mail and hit return
    Open the triangle next to Mail and  look for a file named
    .OfflineCache file
    and move it to the Trash. If this file exists, doing this will probably fix the problem.
    You will need to reverse the show hidden command by just adding false to it, instead of true and them killall Finder again.

  • Imessage stopped sending my SMS text messages, do you know why?

    I updated my MacBook Pro a while ago to Yosemite - and surprisingly it worked out (together with my iphone4) to send imessage AS WELL AS normal text messages. However 2 days ago it stopped working and logs out all the time. Only imessage come through (but not always).
    Do you guys have a clue, what the problem could be?
    Thanks a lot!

    Thanks Malcom! I just tried inserting the short characters before the message and it works.
    But it's really boring having to type *# etc in front of a text message. The iPhone keypad doesn't lend itself very well for such exercises...
    But thanks a lot for pointing me to a temporary workaround.
    It's a bit embarrasing for Apple that Nokias, Ericssons, Samsungs etc do this automatically and you can chose delivery report on/off in settings for all these phones. But with Apple iPhone you have to write your own little string of code to get this basic functionality...
    YOu actually have to make an extra 10-15 key presses in front of EVERY sms/text message you send for this to work... Something truly time consuming and boring. When I just want to send a text-message saying "yes" I have to type in *#KV and jump between character sets etc. Not nice.
    How come Apple has failed to make this central thing of SMS/text work?

  • Since ios 8, imessages are turning into texts. And the receiving person has an apple device. why?

    Since ios 8, imessages on my iphone are turning into texts. and the recipients are using apple devices. Their reply messages come back in a new message, without the history. and often their address is an icloud one and not their phone number (which is where I sent it). Why?

    As in the link when you send an iMessage your text bubble is blue. If it's sent SMS your text message is green. Both parties will receive the message or reply in a grey bubble. When you contact them ask them what colour their sent text messages bubble are.
    As for group messages check your settings. MMS must be turned on; Settings > Messages. Send as SMS must also be turned on.
