My iPhone just told me that my sim card sent a text message. What does this mean?

I've had my iPhone4 four just about a year and this has never happened before, can someone tell me what this is about?  Thanks for your help.

Dbauman, it sounds like you were previously using iMessage on your iPad and you recently signed into the same apple id on your iPhone in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive.

    Does this mean that the warranty still stands as new?

    I had the same problem, though mine was with an iPhone 5.  I phoned the Apple folks and they told me they had the record of my purchase, and indeed my purchase date had been recorded.  It took a couple of weeks, but the data eventually showed up correctly online.

  • I keep getting message "This page requires a plugin that can only run in 32 bit mode" what does this mean and how can I fix it?

    I keep getting message "This page requires a plugin that can only run in 32 bit mode" what does this mean and how can I fix it? It seems to come up randomly, but I'm fairly ignorant.

    Previous versions of Firefox were only 32 bit, Firefox 4 for the Mac contains 32 and 64 bit versions. If you want to always start Firefox in 32 bit mode, open up Finder and go to the Applications folder. Control-click the Firefox app and click "Get Info", then select the "Open in 32-bit mode" option.

  • TS4124 there are lots of songs that have no icon next to them. What does this mean?

    there are lots of songs that have no icon next to them. What does this mean?

    I'm going to take a guess that you are referring to iTunes match in iTunes on your Mac. (as in the screenshot below)
    Tunes without symbols, mean that the file is stored on your Mac.

    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers

  • I baught a new iphone (no contracts) and i found a t mobile sim card inside of it ! What does it mean ?

    I Found a t mobile sim card in my new iphone 6 but i baught it without a contract what does it mean ?

    You don't have a lot of choices. There is no Apple presence in Lebanon, so if you want an iPhone then any phone you get will be gray market. The T-Mobile appears to be unlocked, so it will work on GSM networks. Among gray market phones the US Verizon phone would be a better choice, as it will support LTE (4G) in the Middle East. The other choice is to get a phone in a neighboring country where Apple does have a presence (KSA, UAE, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Jordan). The disadvantage of that, however, is that the phone will not have FaceTime, as those governments have banned it. So in summary, the phone you bought is probably the best choice.
    There are likely independent shops that will repair the phone if it needs repair. Did the shop where you bought it offer a warranty?
    EDIT: Added Jordan to the list of neighboring countries

  • TS3694 trying to update software on my iphone 4s- "could not be updated due to unknown error" (6).  what does this mean.  my phone appears to be in a near complete state of update...

    Not sure what to do.  finally decided to upgrate software on my phone.  installed itunes on my new laptop. plugged by phone in and started process.  nearing the end i received an error message stating that the phone "could not be updated due to unknown error" (6).  HELP!
    the phone itself appears to be in mid update....

    This describes error 6:
    Errors related to third-party security software
    Error 2, 4 (or -4), 6, 1000, and 9006
    Follow the steps to troubleshoot security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    There may be third-party software that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting a TcpWindowSize entry into your registry. An incorrectly set default packet size can cause these errors. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet size modification for assistance or follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
    Verify that access to ports 80 and 443 are allowed on your network.
    Verify that communication to albert.apple.com or phobos.apple.com isn't blocked by a firewall or other Internet security setting.
    Discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps under "Advanced steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw)" below for file locations.
    Restore your device while connected to a different network.
    Restore using a different computer.

  • On the add-ons screen, I'm getting an indication that my Trend micro sofware is incompatible. What does this mean?

    When I open the add-ons screen, I get a faded out message that Trend-Micro NSC Firefox extension is incompatible with Firefox 4. Below it is another faded out message that Trend-micro toolbar is incompatible with Firefox 4.
    Do these messages mean that I'm not getting the Trend-Micro protection, or that I just can't open Trend-micro from within Firefox 4?
    I've been using Trend-micro for a long time, and I really like it.

    No that's wrong, the update for the trend micro toolbar will be issued the second week of JUNE 2011. How do I know this?
    http://esupport.trendmicro.com/solution/en-US/1058585.aspx%EF%BB%BF
    Says so there. Want more info?
    http://community.trendmicro.com/t5/Home-and-Home-Office-Forum/UPDATE-Toolbar-For-Mozilla-Firefox-4-0/td-p/32014/page/4
    Hope this helps, because I am one of the people as well with Firefox 4 and no Toolbar.

  • I get a message that I ned to check proxy settings. What does this mean?

    The proxy server is refusing connections
    Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections.
    Check the proxy settings to make sure that they are correct.
    Contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is
    working.
    I cannot open firefox because I get htis message above. Don't know what to do.

    I can't see what version of Firefox you're using because you've deleted that information. So here are the settings for both.<br><br>
    For Firefox 4.0.x<br><br>
    * Click the orange Firefox button, go to Options | Options | Advanced | Network (tab) | Settings (button) and checkmark "Use system proxy settings" or "No proxy".<br><br>
    For Firefox 3.6.x<br><br>
    * Click Tools | Options | Advanced | Network (tab) | Settings (button) and checkmark "Use system proxy settings" or "No proxy".<br><br>
    If you choose "Use system proxy settings" which is the default, Firefox connects to itself which provides a certain degree of safety.
    "No Proxy" connects directly to the Internet.

  • When I sync my ipad and iphone it says I have 9gb of "other' taking up mememory. What does this mean?

    When I sync my ipad mini it says there 9gb of "other" taking up space. How do I find out what this is so I can delete files????

    Most likely there is corrupt data on your iPad.
    Restore and see if that helps.
    Next try to restore as new.
    If neither of those help take it to Apple.

    I turned my Iphone 4 off. When I went to turn it back on, up popped a silver screen that read Iphone with no service. My service has not been cancelled. What does this mean, please help?

    If a reset doesn't work, try and force iPad into Recovery Mode:
    1. Turn off iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, slide to turn off.
    2. Connect USB cable to computer
    3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
    5. Release the Home button
    6. Open iTune (make sure you have the newest version of iTune)
    7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
    8. Use iTune to restore iPad
    Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

  • TS2755 in iPhone text messaging, what does the break between messages mean ---------Text Message---------------

    In iPhone text messaging, what does it mean when you see the following between text messages:   ---------------Test Message---------------?  Does it mean that messages were lost or not delivered, or was there an interruption in service, or what?

    I'm thinking you meant Text Message, not Test Message.
    The separation is only to separate SMS or text messages from iMessage.
