Not able to send or receive SMS messages on iMessage on mac

When I first updated to Yosemite the new SMS feature on iMessage was working. I had to replace my home button and screen on my iPhone 5s and after that it stopped working. I am not sure if having that repair done on my phone has anything to do with my above problem. Please help

Hi Ralph,
Thank you for your reply.
Ok, I will try to explain myself better.
When I say:
- Messages, I am talking about the software to send and receive iMessages and SMS.
- iMessage, is the blue bubble
- SMS is the green bubble
Facetime is because if someones callsme and I do not answer quickly on iPhone, and the Macs are using the same network as iPhone, the VoiceCall pops ups and rings, and usually I activate the Facetime option (when is a iPhone). Sorry about this confusion.
So basically, a week ago, I could send and receive SMS, iMessage on my Macs to/from anyone.
Now, I just can send iMessages (blue bubbles with blue name/contact on top [TO:]) and I can't send SMS (text messages, green bubble), I receive error (red exclamation point) and the name/contacts on top [To:] are red.
And as I told, I think it might be because of the new iOS update with iTunes recovery. Because it is the only similar thing I can relate with "loyalchiver" (when an iPhone goes to repair, the restore it.) That's why I tried signout/in in all Macs, but still not working.
About the Text Forwarding function, I had searched and what I was getting was to go to Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding, but this last option didn't appear, so I thought this was because the pages/foruns that I was reading was for the version 8.1 and not 8.1.1 (Apple could change it, I don't know). But while I was trying to put this working, I had rebooted some where and when I saw your reply, I went again there, and I had the Text Message Forwarding option, so all I had to do was activating it. Thank you!
To "labelchiver", I am not sure how I did it, but try this:
1. close all applications running on background.
2. reboot your iphone.
3. go to Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding .
4. If you can enter there and your mac is linked, unlink it and link it again.
5. Hope it works for you
Once again, thank you for your help and I apologize for my confusions about the labels. Cheers!

My wife and I share the same email address and Apple ID. We are not able to send and receive Text Messages to one another.

My wife and I share the same email address and Apple ID. We are not able to send and receive Text Messages to one another. Is the cause of this because we share the same Apple ID? Will we have to set up 2 separate primary email addresses to be able to send and receive Tex Messages to one another? Like I said, we share the same email address and woul like to keep it that way to keep up with our email together. Is there a way to by-pass having to set up 2 primary emaill addresses if this is the problem?
Thanks.

go to the settings and turn off imessage
but that don't change the issue that you will never be able to facetime eachtoher
the appleID is really meant as the handle that identify you it was not meant to be shared
but can see that people may want to do not buy apps more then once

Hello! Im having problems about my Iphone showing NO SERVICE on top. Im not able to send and receive msg, same with calls

Hello Guys! I hope someone could help me, Im having trouble with my phone's signal, I am not able to send and receive msgs, same as make calls and receive calls. At first, my phone is working fine (iphone 4, iOS 7.0.4) and all of a sudden, my text messages are not getting through, and I noticed that my phone shows NO SERVICE, I refreshed the phone by turning it off and turning it on after a couple of minutes, it worked. My phone is okay again after that, Im able to send and receive messages again. But after few hours, the problem came again. NO SERVICE sign is displayed again, but this time after refreshing the phone nothing good happened. I tried almost every possible thing I can to fix it but it doesn't work. What should I do.
Thank you

Hey Clara,
These are the recommended troubleshooting steps to resolve No Service issues on iPhone:
Toggle airplane mode: Tap Settings > Enable Airplane Mode, wait five seconds, then turn off airplane mode.
Turn iPhone off and then on again.
Remove the SIM card and verify that it's a valid, carrier-manufactured SIM. Also verify that it isn't damaged, worn, or modified. Then reinsert it.
Check for a carrier-settings update. Connect to a Wi-Fi network. Then tap Settings > General > About. If an update is available, iOS will ask you if you want to install it. If Wi-Fi isn't available, connect your device to iTunes.
Update your iPhone to the latest version of iOS.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings.
Restore the iPhone.
If you are outside the United States, please also follow these steps:
Go to Settings > Carrier > Automatic.
If the phone registers any carrier network, Settings > Carrier will be present.
If the Carrier option is missing in Settings and you are outside of the Unites States, please contact Apple for support and service options.
Set the option for Automatic to off.
A list of potentially available carriers appears after about two minutes. If the device is locked to a carrier, it may connect only to the carrier network to which it is locked. If the device displays carrier networks, then the device is working as expected.
Set Settings > Carrier > Automatic back to on.
If you're still experiencing No Service issues, contact your carrier to check for any network or account issues that could cause these symptoms.

Why am I no longer able to send or receive text messages from my Droid RAZR MAXX HD?

@slotjan49
I want to ensure you're able to stay connected using your Motorola Droid Razr Maxx HD! When did this problem begin? In what zip code are you experiencing this? Do you get an error message when attempting to send a text? Are you using a downloaded text messaging application or are you using the preinstalled text messaging application?
Please try removing and reinserting the SIM Card http://vz.to/1jxFQVZ and retesting. Please let me know so that I can further assist. Thanks!

I am not able to send pictures to anyone one without iMessage, it has never done this before. how do i fix this?

i am not able to send pictures to anyone one without iMessage, it has never done this before. how do i fix this?

The immediate solution that comes to mind is to email the pictures. You can open the photo, click the arrow out on the bottom left, and email the photo that way.
Otherwise, if you're trying to Text Message the pictures by MMS, go to Settings > Messages > Send as SMS and turn that on. Also turn on MMS Messaging below that.

Triple check the Outgoing Mail server info that you entered in your Mail account. If that area says the info is optional enter the outgoing mail server and your password anyway. Also if you have more than one email account check the server that is selected for the GoDaddy account and make sure it's the correct server for the account.

Send and Receive SMS messages from US to South Kor...

I want to be able to receive and send SMS messages from my skype to my friend's cell phone in Korea
When I send it they receive it, but they can't respond it back to me because it is an international text.
Is there anyway that I can buy a Korean online number when I'm living in US?
and with that number will I be able to talk and send/receive messages with my friend?

@ sberman -Hi-I have my settings as you described and I do have a text msg. plan with At&T. I'm still puzzled, however; I had the same plan with he former phone-the ancient 3Gs and with it, I was able to send/receive text, photos, etc. to non-Iphone users via WiFi as long as I was home and within distance of the connection. I did not have to have my cell data "on" in order to send/receive anything. Everything transmitted through WiFi-and did not impact my charges or cell data limits.. I know I must use the cell data ON when I'm away, but don't understand why/how I can't do the same as before I upgraded to the 5c. Admittedly, I am certainly NOT in the stratospheric league as so many phone experts here-I do make the attempt to understand, though..
I read on one of the numerous help/answer sites that apparently someone else had registered the same complaint with Apple and now has a pending lawsuit-and hoping to get class-action status on the issue. I'm fairly sure this is the same-although I cannot be 100% certain given my lack of expertise.
I certainly appreciate your rapid response-as a newbie to these communities, I didn't expect any answers to my questions so quickly.Thanks for taking the time to post-have a great weekend.

Fax not able to send or receive

I have the Laserjet Pro 200 Color MFP printer which I use wireless, and it has been working fine unil now. When sending, I get the "no fax detected, no fax received" and when sending a fax i hear the ringing but it never connects, no answer. I have uninstalled and re-installed, checked the phone line, changed small settings but nothing is working. I did a fax test and everything PASSED, I did a network test and everything is working there as well. There are 2 phone lines, one is a dedicated fax line only, and the other line does have a voicemail system by Verizon, but only the fax line is connected to the printer which goes directly into the wall jack. Both phone lines work and have a dial tone. So, any help on what to do would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You.

Hi bertley32,
Thanks for letting me know.
Try sending a fax to the HP Fax Back number: 1-888-473-2963, to see if you have the same results.
If you connect a phone to the printer, can you call out?
