My iphone wont send all texts to droid user

Ok. You know how when 2 iphone/apple users are texting and both have the same software update with the Icloud that their conversation bubbles in the text message are grey and blue. Grey being what they sent you and Blue what you sent them. Furthermore, when you are texting a non-iphone/apple user the conversation bubbles are Grey*what they sent you* and Green*what you sent them*
Now my fiance switched from her iphone 3gs to a Droid just 2 days ago.
I have a 3gs as well and we have noticed if I or her friends using an Iphone send a text message to her and it shows up on our phones as a blue conversation bubble *as if she still has her iphone* she does not receive our texts. But if our phones send her a text and they come up as a green conversation bubble, she gets them..
any idea on how to fix this to where all of our texts we send to her come up as a normal Green conversation bubble since she is no longer an iphone user.
We are constantly busy and need to be in contact with each other.
PLEASE HELP ASAP

My husband has a new Droid (used to use an Iphone) and I have a new Iphone (used to have a 4, now have a 4S). All texts I sent to him came back to my phone. How we finally solved the problem:
1) Turned out I'd registered my phone under his ICloud account. I went onto the Apple site and registered an account with ICloud.
2) My husband unregistered his old Iphone per the above advice.
3) I went into Settings - ICloud - and all the way at the bottom of that screen, selected "delete account" and deleted the account.
4) Going back into ICloud, I re-registered under my new ID.
5) We both rebooted our phones.
Solved!
Hope that helps.

HT1349 my iphone wont send normal text messages to one person but it works for everyone else, what do i do?

IPhone wont send email from a certain mail account

I know the settings are right, but the iPhone wont send mail from one of my mail accounts (hosted by the company i work for, which offers mail hosting as a service, and has hundreds of other iPhone users with the same account settings.)
The progress bar that indicates "sending" zips by suspiciously quickly when I hit Send, but there is no audio confirmation. Then the email is gone - its not in my Sent Items folder, and its not in the Drafts folder and its not in my broom closet.
From what I understand, if one SMTP server isn't available, it should default to the AT&T SMTP server, but it apparently doesn't even get that far, because the phone must think it's sent the message, or it would end up in the Drafts folder (or Outbox, I can't recall), which is what I would normally experience if I had no service at the time I was sending the message. I have two other accounts that work normally on the iPhone. Nothing has been recently changed with the SMTP server in question, which works fine with all my other devices.
I've tried:
• deleting the account and re-adding it manually (four times)
• deleting the account and syncing it with my computer (three times)
• hard resetting the iPhone
• ensuring that the primary SMTP server for this account is, in fact, switched to "On" in Settings->Mail, Contacts, and Calendars, <mail account>-->SMTP (which brings me to another question: how do I edit this list? Is it automatically populated by the accounts in my Mail app?
• screaming from my back porch
Ideas?
Email Account type: IMAP
Authentication type: MD5 with SSL
Port: 587
8GB 3G iPhone, Software version 2.2.1

One thing that might help.
If your primary server is hosted by your company, double check the outgoing settings.
Host Name:
Use SSL:
Authentication:
Server Port:
If it zips through your primary server without effect, try turning the primary server off and one of the secondary on.
If connected to Edge or 3G, you can use ATT's SMTP server.
If issue still persists, then set up a gmail or yahoo account to test with.
Both are free email services.
If still fails, then general troubleshooting might help.
Here are a couple of articles from the apple support website that might help out.

You might need to reset and or restore the iphone to resolve any software issues.
Hope this helps.

My iphone wont send my mail. It says the username or password for Yahoo is incorrect. I double checked and they are both correct.

My iphone wont send emails

Enter your user name and password in the Outgoing Mail Server section of the Mail Account even if it says that is optional.
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > your Email Account > SMTP > the Server name > Add your User Name and Password.

my iphone wont send mms, does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

Had same problem. After seeing another post, I disabled an app I was running called "onavo". Did the trick!! If you don't have it, I'd suggest it could be something similar? This was an app that reduced data usage in the background...

IPhone 4 sending duplicate text messages. ideas?

My iPhone is sending repeat text messages to my contacts that do not have iPhones. I have tried updating my iPhone and this doesn't seem to help.

That info is just as useless as the info from 02 lol, reboot device, update firmware, reset network settings, bla bla bla, I've heard them all as solutions to every problem I've had and it's never worked for any of them,
I've had no 3G for weeks O2 said it was because I was on ios6 (I lied) as they originally said it was because I didn't update to ios6, then they had me resetting settings even tho I told them problem was on their end, sure enough 100+ minutes of phonecalls and they finally admitted 4 of their transmitters in my area were damaged due to floods! Would of been easier to tell me that in the first place, they won't even speak to me unless I said I had updated to the latest software as they blame everything on apple, and if you do update they then blame it on updating!
Anyway...
My issue is my wife sends me a SMS and I get it twice within seconds of each other
I'm running 5.1.1 shes running 6.0
Problem was here when we both had 5.0
Problem was here when we both had 5.1
So it's not a firmware problem and apple has done diddly squat to fix it
The first is a text message the second is an iMessage both together or within seconds of each other
Pretty sure its her 3G connection at work failing to send the iMessage then sending a text message instead but then sending the iMessage at the same time because it just so happened to connect
No need to reset anything

IPhone 4 wont send a text

Wondering if anybody has had this problem yet. I have had my iPhone 4 for about 2 months now and twice when I have tried to send a text, it wont send. I receive an error message saying that it wasn't sent. Phone calls still work. I read somewhere else to turn on air plane mode for 10sec then off. Tried that and it worked. Its annoying having to do this to send a text when they arent working. Anybody with the same problem or a solution?

Texts are going through your carrier's servers, so you should check with them if they ocassionaly have issues. It's unlikely an iPhone issue........

Iphone 4s wont send/receive text messages.

my iphone 4s isnt sending/receiving text messages. when i try to open messages it just says "messages" at the top and then it is a blank page underneath. all of my previous texts were also erased. i updated to IOS 8 2 days ago but the problem just started today.

detti,
Text messages are a vital part of a working phone. We encourage you to reset your device. Please back everything up via iTunes or iCloud. Then go to Settings/General/Reset/Erase All Content and Settings. This will reset the phone and correct anything that maybe causing the issue.

Iphone wont send text messages for 10-15 minutes

Occasionally I will send out a text to somebody and it will get to about 95% and stop for about 10 minutes. At this time, I can't send a text to anyone, receive a text from anyone, and all my conversations with my friends become erased. After about 15 minutes, they will return and I get bombarded with texts and such. Anyone experience this and know what exactly to do to make it stop? Thank you.

Hi billyhil25,
Let's see what causing the problem! When did the issue begin? Current zip code? Are you using standard messaging or iMessage? I look forward to hearing form you soon.

IPhone 4 wont send a text to one person

i am unable to send a text to one person in my contacts. i have tried everything i deleted the contact and re input it. the only thing is when i start a new message the phone number comes up as other even though the contact has been deleted. Please Heelp

I've been having this problem as well, and it's incredibly frustrating. I called Verizon Customer Service and they were unable to help me, and I'm at a total loss. The person who is not receiving my texts is on a Droid and has T-Mobile. I was able to text her without any problems until Tuesday evening. She can text me, but she does not receive my text messages. There is no problem with actual phone calls. I already tried deleting the contact and resetting my network settings.

IPhone wont send pictures to non IPhone users

For the past couple of months I have not been able to sent picture messages to people who don't have iphones. I thought it was because a new update was coming soon. Once the update came and I downloaded it, it still was not working. I can send regular texts to people who don't have iphones but just not pictures. I have tried sending pictures to both people with iphones and without. I can send them to people who have iphones. Also, the ones who are non iphone users can't send me pictures either. And it's not just certain phones because I have tried with 3 different people who have different phones and different service providers. I have searched online and tried what other people have suggested but can't figure it out. All my settings seem to be fine. I have a 4s. Someone please help!!

Yes, it could allow the app to change the types of photos allowed to be viewed and sent, but also change the format in which they are taken. Essentially, if the App is only functional for JPEG2 images, then it will stop the phone from editing, and sending/receiving pics in any other format. If Removing those apps doesn't help, then first, I would do a network reset.
Settings > Genreal > Reset Settings > Reset Network Settings. This will not cause you to lose anything on your phone, but rather, it will reset all WiFi settings, and your connection to your carrier tower. This could be the issue.
Also, you could contact your carrier... For example (because I don't know the details of your contract), if your hubby doesnt want you sending/recieveing pics, or your on your parents contract, they could have turned off the feature to send./recieve pics... But if your communicating to a phone via iMessage, then that feature can't be stoped via the carrier because it's essentially an instant messanger dont over the internet.. Also check you restrictions.. If you acidentally restricted phonos on your phone, it will do the same thing... It will stop texts from sending/receiving pics, but cannot control iMessage as its an instant messanger and not a Text.
If this doesnt help, then I would consider restoring your phone off iTunes. You shoul dbe backing up regularly(once a week min) and then you may be able to correct this issue. If a restore doesn't help, then I would visit an Apple store.
