My texts are being received as email

I have an iphone 4. I just upgrade the software but have been having this issue for some time. Why does my colleague receive my texts in his email when others receive as a text? How do I fix this so he can receive my texts?

Did your colleague ever have an iPhone? When you compose the text, are the text bubbles blue or green? If this person sends you a text and you respond, how is it going then? Can you check your contact for that person and see if by chance the email address is listed in the wrong area, like the phone number area? These are some things to check. Also, you can power the phone off/on, and do a reset, hold the sleep/wake and home button together until you see the Apple logo and then release.

  • TS2755 SMS messages are being received as emails

    Hello.  I have an iPhone 5, and as of a couple of days ago, when I send an SMS text message to another iPhone user, the recipient receives those messages as emails.  Also, if other iPhone owners send me text messages, I don't receive them.
    If I send an SMS text message to someone else (someone with an Android phone, for example), they are able to receive the messages normally, and their messages come to me.
    I tried having a person with an iPhone 4S send me a text message.  Rather than coming through as an iMessage, the message showed up on that person's phone as a normal SMS text message.
    Has anyone seen this issue, and/or had any success in resolving it?
    I'm running IOS 6.1.3, and I purchased the phone about three months ago.

    Messaging between Apple devices is called imessage.  To correct your problem go to settings - message - send&receive - make sure your cell is the defaut.  You may need to uncheck or remove the apple id.

  • Texts sent being received as email

    I have an iPhone 4S & my son has a 4.
    When I send him a text he states that he always receives it as an email.
    So, I deleted his email address from my contacts & sent him another text. This time he received it as a text, but he said it was sent from my email.
    When I look at my screen the text bubble is blue and it shows it's been delivered. This has occured every time I've sent him a text.
    Everyone in my family has an iphone and we use imessage w/o any problems, except between my phone and my son's.
    Any idea how to fix this?

    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and make sure only the phone number is checked.

    Anyway, I followed the steps you provided, and changed all of the settings including <-- Settings <-- FaceTime and Settings <-- Messages <-- Use your Apple ID for messages.
    Just to be clear, while you have to use an Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime, you should not be using that e-mail address to receive at or send from since you're using your father's ID.  Later in your post it sounds like you de-selected e-mail addresses that were not yours, which is correct, but I wanted to make sure you understand that you should not be using this ID for a contact point since it is not yours.
    If your father is still getting your text messages from your friends, I suspect that either:
    (a) after making these changes you need to turn iMessage and FaceTime off for a brief period, then turn back on, or
    (b) your friends are replying to older messages that you sent from your father's Apple ID, or
    (c) your father's iPhone somehow has your e-mail entered as one of the possible contact points for his iPhone.
    If the cause is (a) turn iMessage and FaceTime back on since you've already turned them off.
    If the cause is (b) see the last paragraph of my 1st post.  Send your friends a new iMessage and tell them to only reply to that conversation and delete prior conversations.
    If the cause is (b) have your father de-select (or remove) your e-mail address from his iMessage and FaceTime settings.

  • Why do senders receive a delivery failure notice although messages are being received?

    Why do senders receive a delivery failure notice although messages are being received?

    What you have there is either a jailbroken unit with some crazy custom UI or an eastern knockoff. Give us some photos of the ipad itself, mainly the back and some experts can help.
    If you plug it into iTunes does iTunes even acknowledge that an ipad is connected? If it does then try a restore.
    Failing that, head down to an apple store and see what they can do for you.

  • TS3276 Acknowledging email/internet parameters are functional when attaching, in any fashion, jpegs of 6GB+ they are being received as 70KB attachments? Have i missed some setting?

    Having issue with sending jpeg attachments. Acknowledging that all my email/internet providers are functional and the usual parameters have been checked I currently have the following concern. When attaching, in any fashion, via all methods, jpeg files of 6GB+ they are being sent and received as 70KB+/- attachments? Have a I missed some simple setting or is this a function of iPhoto. I can send the same full size jpeg attacments via Windows based laptops usuing same services, same location; and have had no previous issue using a previous Windows PC.
    Appreciate any input.

  • Why are text messages being received as gmail addresses?

    In the last week, I began receiving text messages from my friends that are being sent from their "gmail" address.  Therefore, it seems to replace the other contact that I had in the phone.  Has anyone else experienced this? Thank you

    This has worked for many to solve this problem:
    Open the phone and dial *228. This is a Verizon over-the-air programming number.
    When the system answer press 1 for "Program or activate your phone"
    Wait for the call to disconnect. You should get a prompt stating "Settings updated."
    Double tap the Home button to bring up the recently used apps list at the bottom.  Locate the Phone, Message, and Contacts apps, swiping if necessary, and press and hold until they jiggle then press the red minus sign to stop them.
    Wait a 3-5 minutes.
    Open the Message App to see if they're fixed.
