Problem sending text messages to other iPhones
When I send a text message to someone who has an iphone, my name doesnt pop up how they have it in their contacts, my apple ID pops up ([email protected]) in their text. It only happens when i send texts to people with iphones. it doesnt do this with any other phone. This started happening right after i installed ios 5.0.1. please help me figure this out!
Make sure that iMessage is turned on and completely activated. Settings>Messages>iMessages>On

I cannot send or receive text messages from other iPhone users. I don't get an error I just don't receive any messages and the other users do not receive mine.
Reset the devices: Hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go.

Anyone have a problem sending text messages being delivered after few minutes up to five minutes?
Has anyone have a problem sending text messages and the messages won't get delivered after few minutes? From time to time I would have this problem and it's annoying. I would expect someone to receive it by then and response to my text right away. But when I look up the text it hasn't been delivered and it's in the process. I would hear that the message get delivered after few minutes? What gives? I never had a problem with my iphone 4 i think? Now with iOS 5 it let's me know whether it is delivered or not. This new feature is awesome but disappointing when I know my text hasn't been delivered right away. I'm not sure if it's the software or my iphone 4s or my carrier? anyone suggestions? Thanks!!
I have the same problem when sending iMessages.. Wasnt sure if it was apple or Sprint? But it happens VERY often and I end up having to send it as a text message instead

Why do text messages from my iPad appear to some people as if they came from my email address instead of my phone number? This does not happen when I send text messages from my iPhone.
You need to link your iPhone number to Messages - and Facetime if you use it. For Messages go to Settings>Messages>Send and Receive at>You can be reached by iMessage at. If your phone number is showing there, select it as your Contact address. If it doesn't appear in there, take a look at the end of this article for help.

Do you have MMS turn on in Settings?
Are you provisioned by your carrier to use MMS?
Lastly, give your phone carrier a call, as MMS is a carrier feature. -

How to stop my iphone 4s from forwarding my text messages to other iphone on my service plan
support with my iphone 4s.after the recent update to iOS6, my phone sends my messages to other iphone 4s on my phone service plan and send others 'notes' contents to my phone.what do i need to do to stop this?
There is no "un-sync".
It may have meant to simply uncheck sync movies and sync, thus removing any movies from the iphone. -
I have spent hours on the phone with Apple and AT&T. I went thought reset, on/off, etc, etc with both companies to no avail. Each company pointed fingers at the other....as being the source of the problem.
Problems: Suddenly ALL incoming calls were going directly to VM with no signal I missed calls and/or had VM. I was also unable to receive all Text Messages...Oddly, I could send text messages to anyone (even non-apple users but I could not receive their responses)........then I when I got home I started receiving text messages from other apples users ONLY. I assume now - iMessage kicked in and I could text (send/receive) other iPhone/iPad/iTouch users ONLY. ....yes, I could still (send) text messages to my husband's blackberry (he received my messages fine) but my phone would NOT receive his text respones.
Finally, I googled the problem and found this community where other people have had the exact same problems! One person said he "turned off 3 G" which was the solution for him....so I did the same and VIOLA! My problem solved! Nevermind the fact that I pay for 3G and cannot use it....so here's my question, if 3G is the problem on my phone is this an APPLE issue or a NETWORK problem? Do I purchase a new phone and slip in my same SIM card and hope the same does not occur or do I get a whole new SIM card and phone? What is the long term resolution to this problem?
I am happy however to find that my problem is NOT an isolated incident and wish Apple or AT&T had told me this is not so uncommon because I thought (based on the baffled response from Apple) that this has never occurred before. Where is Steve Jobs when we need him?jsavage9621,
It pains me to hear about your experience with the Home Phone Connect. This device usually works seamlessly and is a great alternative to a landline phone. It sounds like we've done our fair share of work on your account here. I'm going to go ahead and send you a Private Message so that we can access your account and review any open tickets for you. I look forward to speaking with you.

When I send text messages to my wife's iphone I receive the sent message to my iphone. Is there anyway to prevent this from happening?
Having seperate apple ID's will fix it, but here's how to fix it without adding a new ID.
Go to settings, messages, send and receive, be sure your number is the only one checked. If her number is checked as well you will receive your texts to her as well. -
I cannot send text messages to others not on my iphone4S.
Can anyone out there help me with this? I can send text messages (imessages) to friends with a newer iphone, but no messages come in or go out to those that are not on iphones. I tried every combaination of settings in the Messages area of the settings - and nothing works. i have checked with AT&T online, and my account shows I have full unlimited text on my plan - and it worked 3 days ago on my old iphone. Any suggestions?
Thanks!!!I have the same issue. AT&T members can't receive messages from me. This started for me back around June 9 while I was actually a Sprint user. Switched to Verizon on June 19, hoping to solve the issue. However weeks later, AT&T users still can't receive messages from me.
They can receive MMS, just not SMS. I receive message from them. It is affecting both Android and iPhone users. I have always had an Android device.
PLEASE HELP! -
