Problem with Text Messaging on new iphone with non iphone users

Ever since I set up imessage forwarding to be able to send/receive text messages on both my mac book pro and iphone people with non iphones are not getting my text messages from either device. 
In my settings - messages - text message forwarding it only has one device enabled which is my mac book pro.  There is an option to enable my iphone. Do I need to do that? I did try and it's asking me for a code.  If i do need to do this where on my phone do i get this code? Thank you.

Have you tried reporting the problem to AT&T?

  • HT6154 Why are my texts sending as a text message to another iphone user instead of an imessage?

    I just got my new iphone 5s. Well I have been sending text message to another iphone user and my text are going in as a text message instead of an imessage. The never happened with my iphone 4s.  Also I do not recieve some of my text message till almost an hour later.  This has nothing to do with where I am because I can be down the road from someone and I did not get their message until I got closer to her.  Me and my husband just got these new iphone 5s and we are both having the same problem.  Can someone help?  I don't want to return the phone but if I continue to have this problem I'll just keep my iphone 4s because I never ran into any problems like this prior.

    imessage will send as a SMS when it is unavailable either thru a weak wifi or cellular data signal.  OR the other side has imessage turuned off.

    Reset the devices: Hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go.

  • HT4528 i upgraded from an iphone to a Samsung galaxy and now i am unable to receive text messages now from iphone users.the iphones think that my number is still another iphone and always sends a message as imessage.

    Upgraded from iphone to a Samsung and now i am unable to receive text messages from other iphone users unless they disable imessage .
    Being my original number was on an iphone is why this is happening .
    Please help. Almost everyone has an iphone

    You should have turned iMessage off before disabling the phone. Do you still have the phone so you can turn iMessage off? If not, you will need to go to Apple support on their website and delete the product from your profile.

  • TS2755 Cannot receive text messages from other iPhone users.

    My iPhone cannot receive messages from other iPhone users after updating to ios7. I do not have internet access on my iPhone. Sender tell me the message has failed.

    If they are trying to send you iMessages, & you don't have any Internet access, the message will fail, as iMessage requires a data connection.

  • Problem sending text messages to other iPhones

    Make sure that iMessage is turned on and completely activated. Settings>Messages>iMessages>On

  • Retreiving previous text messages from new iPhone

    I was eligible for an upgrade from an iPhone 3GS to an iPhone 4s. I went to restore my new phone, and it deleted all previous text messages from my 4s and only restored a couple of my apps, but not all. Is there a way to retrieve these messages and apps?

    Thank you. We are trying the carrier. They are having trouble too but it looks like it might be them. Thank you again for pointing us in the right direction.

  • Can't receive text messages from other iphone users but can receive them from non-iphone users

    I had to recently reinstall mavericks to my MacBook and suddenly I haven't been able to receive text messages from iphone users on my iphone.  I can send them but not receive them.  Recently I was able to receive a text from an iphone user who turned off his imessages before he texted me.  That came through. Of course, this would be difficult to ask every iphone user i know to turn off imessages in order text me.  I've also tried to turn off my imessage on my macbook, iphone and ipad and still can't receive them.  Lastly, I've also tried resetting my networking settings and that didn't help either.  Any suggestions???

    I am having the same problem minus the fact that I don't have a Mac computer I just can't receive any messages from iPhone users and I can't turn my iMessage back on at all it keeps just turning it off every time I try to turn it on. any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Blank Text Messages from other iPhone users. Possibly when iMessage is on.

    I have had this problem a couple different times. I know for a fact that this has only happened to me when other iPhone users send me a text message. I do have iMessage on (not currently because I am thinking this could be the problem) and it seems as if I turn it on for a couple of seconds their message comes through. Can anyone help me out? Thank you!

    What I learned from Apple Support, who is just as perplexed as I am, is that when I deactivated this phone, it actually didn't deactivate in their system right away.  It took several DAYS for it to appear to deactivate in their system.  I think it was a Monday that I deactivated it and it showed to Apple that I deactivated it on following Friday.  I was then told that it could actually take more time (24 hours) for Apple users to get the "undeliverable" message on their iPhones. 
    We still don't know if this has worked (Saturday) because still no iPhone text messages.  I will keep you posted.

  • TS5185 i have turned off imessage on my old iphone but still cant recieve text messages from other iphone users on my non-iphone device

    You can try the following on your friends phone:
    1.  Remove the contact card
    2. Then turn off iMessage and then back on again
    3. Go to Messages and compose a new message
    4. Press +.  This will make a list of recent contacts pop up.
    5. Click on the info button number of the contact you are trying to reach.
    6. Remove from Recents
    7. Try to compose another message
    8.  If the message attempts to send as blue (imessage), press on the message.
    9 Option to send as SMS will appear (as long as they have SMS turned on.
    10. Repeat and rinse.
    11. Messages will start changing over to all SMS as the user will show as non-imessage user.
    Hope this helps
