My iPhone 4 will not send messages as iMessage

It will only send messages as text. There is nothing wrong with my network connection. Safari and Mail work fine. I know it is sending as text because the message is in green. I don't even have Send as SMS on in Settings.

is it giving any specific error message? Have you tried a different outbound smtp server?

  • My iphone 5 will not send texts by imessage

    Just last week, my iphone 5 will not send text messages to other iphones or ipads.

    I believe there have been some sporadic problems with iMessage.

  • My iPhone 5 will not send mms through iMessage, any help?

    I have recently been abroad and since returning to the UK, my phone will not send pictures over iMessage, I never had this problem before travelling. I have my wifi switched on and I have checked my send and receive settings. I can receive picture messages through iMessages but cannot send them. The person I am sending them too has an iPhone and has their iMessage turned on, I have checked my updates and my phone does not need updating, I can not think of anything else it could be. I have also checked and I am able to send them through text just not iMessage. Any suggestions would be great!

    Yes I have turned imessage off a number of times and that does not seem to he doing the trick, and it is not delivering them then I have to press on the photo and either chose try again or send as text message, I have had the setting on to not allow sending pictures as texts (so they can only send as imessage) since I got my phone in January and it has always worked until now, I have turned that off to allow me to send them as picture messages now but it's still not working over iMessage, I have also tried it using 3G and not wifi

  • TS2755 How come my iphone 5 will not send messages or receive them ever since I updated it a few hours ago?

    Why will my iphone 5 not send or receive messages ever since I updated it to iOS 7.0.4 a few hours ago?

    I have no idea, works on mine. Does it still do that after you do a Reset? (Hold down the home and sleep button, wait for the Apple logo, let go of the buttons.)

  • My iphone 4s will not send messages to certain people?

    I picked up my new iphone 4s at the weekend, since i turned the phone i found some people where ''ignoring me'. People who have rang my new number have said it says ''no number'' and ''not regonised''. Some of my messages haven't been recieved by my friends, and likewise i have not recived theirs. Would really appreicate some help? Really disapointed that my brand new Iphone 4s can't do a simple function as SMS messaging.

    If it isn't sending to non-iPhone users go to Settings>Messages and turn Send AS SMS to On.  If it isn't just non-iPhone users then the problem could be with your carrier or theirs, and you'll have to follow up with them to investigate it.

  • My phone will not send or receive imessages.

    iphone 4s will not send or receive imessages.  Some messages were going to ipad but not phone.  I turned off ipad messaging.  turned off and on imessaging on iphone.  backed up phone to itunes and restored it.  It seems to accept my apple id.  Tried changing the date stuff from suggestion on another discussion. Did hard reboot a few times. Any Ideas?

    Go to Settings>Messages> turn iMessage off. The go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings. Do a reset on the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone restarts, go back into Settings>Messages and turn on iMessage. See if it activates.
    Apple has acknowldged an issue with iMessage and is working on an update. Look for that to be released sometime this week.

  • My iphone 4 will not send and receive text messages at random times

    My iphone 4 will not send and receive text messages at random times.  My brother has the same phone, lives in the same home and doesn't have this problem.  I can't receive messages without my iphone displaying a message asking for my phone number at random times. It happens intermittently.  Does anyone know why this happens? I am referring to regula text messages not imessages.  I have turned it off and also updated to the most recent software. thanks

    I've been an AT&T customer since they were under different names in the 90s and have never heard/seen that. I would check with them. I'd really like to see that error. To get a screenshot on the phone, press the home button and sleep/wake button together quickly and release. You will see the screen flash slightly and hear the camera shutter noise.

    When you said you went to Settings and everything seems good. Does that mean the MMS was turned on? If so, and this is only being experienced when dealing with SMS/MMS, then you should contact your carrier to have them check to make sure your account is provisioned for MMS, and that everything is alright with your account. SMS/MMS is a carrier function.

  • TS5185 My IPAD will not send messages to non APPLE users.

    Today, Christmas Day, while trying to send a message my IPAD wanted me to turn on iMessage. There was no option not to do this. After it was turned on I could no longer send messages to non Apple users. After reading online that I could set send SMS on my IPHONE I did. Now I guess it send everything as an SMS message. Now my IPAD will not send messages to non Apple users. I guess Apple wants us to pick our friends only if the use Apple products. This is about as stupid as it gets. They want us to only communicate with Apple users. The only other option is to turn the feature off. Why have iMessage in the first place.
    So my situation is I can send SMS Messages on my IPHONE. I cannot send any messages to non Apple users on my IPAD and iMessages to my Apple users.
    This kind of stupidity is why I switched from Windows to Apple in the first place. Don't they test anything out anymore at Apple?

    Please don't take this the wrong way, but I think that you might be doing something wrong.
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support
    To use Continuity for SMS and MMS with your iPhone and your Mac, iPad or iPod touch
    Your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch need to use iOS 8.1, and your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.
    Sign in to iMessage on your iPhone, your other iOS devices, and your Mac using the same Apple ID.
    On your iPhone:
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By, and add a check to both your phone number and email address.
    Go to Messages > Text Message Forwarding, and enable the device(s) you would like to forward messages to.
    Your Mac, iPad, or iPod touch will display a code. Enter this code on your iPhone to verify the SMS feature.

  • TS3899 I am receiving emails but my phone will not send messages.  It says my password is incorrect but it doesn't allow me to enter it.  Any ideas?

    My phone will receive emails but it will not send messages.  It says my password is incorrect but doesn't allow me an opportunity to enter it again.  Any thoughts?

    Under settings>mail, contacts and calendars if you click on the account... then the account name again on the next page.... then click outgoing mail server... then click under the words primary server... here is where you can enter your password... it's most likely missing or incorrect.
    good luck
