Popup upon Startup indicating I can send Texts via my iPhone

I'm sure this is somehow due to a new feature for those with iPhones, iOS 8.1 and Yosemite, but the thing I'm not getting is what is New about this.  My MacBook Air showed the popup upon Yosemite Startup saying if I want to send Text Messages via my Cell Phone Number just click OK ...then a Code popup said to insert it into my iPhone.  I decided not to continue setting this feature up because I have been sending Messages via my MacBook Air using my Send and Receive Cell Phone Number forever.  The next time I picked up my iPhone a popup gave me an opportunity to insert the Code for this Text Send capability from my MBA.
Maybe I have only been sending iMessages and not following through with a Text from my MBA ...who knows?

I have now found this feature on each Device and enabled it.  No problems although I don't actually know what now can happen that is New.

  • My wife recently switched from an iPhone to a Samsung and she can send text messages but she can't receive texts or emails. Any suggestions?

    My wife recently switched from an iPhone to a Samsung and she can send texts but she can't receive them nor receive emails. Her iPhone has had her info removed and the settings have all been set to default. What else does she need to do to correct this?

    In particular the last link is for you

    If you move to another phone and forget to turn off iMessage then read “if you no longer have the device in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5661  If you still cannot resolve it call Apple http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

  • I can send text msgs to every contact except one

    So I can send text messages to all of my friends just fine; however, I can't send text messages to my gf! I can receive her texts but she can't receive the ones I send. She used to be able to receive them. I'm going to contact AT&T very soon, but I was wondering if anyone else has this problem?
    I called apple today and they recommended a soft reset and updating the firmware. I tried both to no avail. Any help? Should I delete and re-add her as a contact.

    I wish it was that easy. Apple said to do a "soft" reset which is just turning the phone off then on. Another solution was to update the firmware which I have been doing. Either way it hasn't worked.
    update: So I even restored as the other customer service woman said, and still nothing. I have absolutely no idea. I would only find it really weird if I couldn't call her plus text. Another more feedback is still appreciated.

  • I can send text messages but I cannot receive them!  Can anyone help?

    On my iPhone, I can send text messages, and other people receive them, no problem.
    But when people send me texts, I never get them. What is going on, and what should I do?
    Frustrated,
    Dave

    I'm having the same problem. I came from Verizon, and activated about an hour ago. I got the 2 free text messages from AT&T and can send, but not receive. My friend who transferred from TMobile on Friday night had the same exact problem. He had to call a number, and have them fix some thing in his billing that was not correct. I am trying to get the number from him. It is an AT&T thing.

  • Why can't I send texts to non iPhones?

    Just started today. I can send texts to iPhones, but to no one else in my contact list. What causes this and how do I fix it?

    There are too many to list here and as everyone I text to has an iOS device I've never bothered to download one. Two of my teenaged grandchildren do use one of the free ones but I don't know which.
    I suggest you do a search for SMS in the App Store and pick out a few to see if they would suit your requirements.
    You could also do a Google type of search for 'iPad SMS' and get a list.
    Be sure to read the reviews before picking one.

  • My phone can send text messages but won't receive them.

    ItI

    My fiancé and I are also having this issue. He has a droid X and I have the lg env 3. We can send texts but don't get texts until about 2 hours after they are sent to us. However.. We can speed up the process by sporadically making phone calls.. If we suspect someone has replied to our texts.. If we call each other or voicemail or wherever.. It pushes the texts through whatever is holding them back and we can then receive them. We have full bars and I did shut off my phone, take out the battery and then put it back in and turn it on. Hopefully you can help?

  • HT1688 Can anyone tell me why i might not be receiving texts any more on my i-phone.  I can send texts, but cannot receive?

    Can anyone tell me why i am not able to receive texts anymore on my i-phone?  I can send texts, and can receive texts on my i-pad, but they don't come through on my phone?

    Are you referring to a regular SMS text, or an iMessage. The solution is different based on what it actually is that you are not receiving. Are these from non-iOS devices (SMS) or iOS devices (iMessage)?
