Received mysteries text regarding a code send from my own Iphone after using a unprotected public Wifi-hotspot
Today I received a text from my own Iphone number displayed as +28 18 xx xx that I have not written myself. It said I now had a new code thas was xxxx without specifying what for. Just before I got that text I had used a couple of different public wifi-hotspots. Should i be worried? After i searched Google all I could find was that it was a possibility your Iphone can be hacked on Wifi and the other option was that the code I received maybe was from the Verified SecureCode by Visa & Mastercard that I did sign up for a long time ago. If that was the case someone would be trying to use my credit card. If anyone could help me to disclose why i got the text from my own Iphone I would be very grateful.
This is likely a Phishing message

My husband and I both have Iphone 4's. I do not receive any text messages that he sends me. He gets mine though. He sends texts to other iphone users and they get them. I get text messages from other phones including iphones. Please help.
Both of yall need to go to settings, meassages, send and recieve, scroll down to start new conversation from, and make sure you have different email addresses with a check mark beside it. Right now sounds like they are the same email addresses.

My husband made the mistake of "upgrading" to IOS 7 last night. Now he is receiving every text message that I send or receive. How do I make this stop. We have always shared the same Apple ID in the past and never had any problems. I've seen posts where they say to create separate Apple ID's, but that means that whichever one of us does that, is gonna lose access to everything that is in our current ITunes account, correct?

Until yesterday I could text to non-Apple friends from both my iPhone
Until yesterday I could text to non-Apple friends from both my iPhone 5S (iOS 8.1.2) and my iPad Air 2 (iOS 8.1.2). Then for several hours last nothing was deliverable unless to another iPhone or iPad. Today, once again, I can text to non-Apple friends from my iPhone but not my iPad. On the iPhone there are buttons for MMS & SMS messaging, but not on the iPad. What happened?
Thank you,
bobbiI was having this problem today with my 6 plus and my air 2. Additionally, I kept getting the message that iMessage needed to be turned on to send my messages. It was turned on in both devices. I wonder if there was a problem at Apple. My carrier is t-mobile, perhaps there could be a problem there.

when I scyn photo from pc to iphone , by using cable and selecting iphone on itunes, the photo which stored in my iphone , i am unable to delete some photo from them and even can not arrange them accoring to my wish, please let me know what to do ?
you can only delete the photos you take on the phone itself as in from camera roll
sync mean syncronize as in make the 2 side the same if you could delete the photos syncronized to your iphone then the nature of what syncronize mean result in the logic step being deleting the photo on your computer too
you get rid of the photo by sync with another dir/ sourse or by moving the photo out of the dir of the computer and then resync -
please help me resolve this issue
Thank you. The troubleshooting guide online suggest resetting network settings and I did a restore to factory default. Since then I was able to receive another text message from the sender and it worked fine. He also left a voice mail message (several) and I'm not able to retrieve those either. Thank you so much for responding.

I received a text on my IPhone 5C that is obviously malware, erased it, powered off iPhone, installed IOS 8.1.3. Has information on my IPhone been compromised? What should I do to protect the information and rid it of any loaded malware? Message was a "Seaboard Federal Credit Union Alert" that my Visa check card had been deactivated, with an 1-801-209-1388 call back number.
Nothing to worry about. There is no malware that can infect an iPhone. Nothing has been compromised unless you clicked on a link in the email and entered personal information.

I used to have an iPhone but switched to the dark side and went with a Samsung Galaxy Zoom (yes an android) I used to be able to receive and send text on my iPad. I no longer can receive text. Am I required to have an iPhone to do so? I backup my iPad on iCloud and have my email associated with it. But everytime I go to text I get an error message.
and other people who text me their messages show up on my iPad. But there are others who are not showign up on the message when they send to me. So puzzled as to why I can't send out and why some messages come through iPad and others do not.

How can i transfer my deta from my old iphon to a new one without wifi conection
how can i transfer my deta from my old iphone to me new one withat wifi
Backing up the old iPhone with iTunes and restoring to the new one is a good solution. However, if you have difficulties in doing so, you can transfer the data from the old iPhone to the new one directly with the help of iPhone PC Suite or MobileTrans.

I have a new 4S. So does my friend, Mike. My daughter has the original iPhone 4. All 3 of us are running 5.0.1. Whenever I send an "imessage" to Mike or he sends one to me, a duplicate of our texts is being broadcast on my daughter's phone.
Her phone is under my shared plan. His is not.
This only happens for texts sent between Mike and I. It doesn't happen to any other contacts that I have or he has.
I have never used group messaging and frankly, don't know how to set up the groups. I saw the feature group messaging in setup and all three of us did a test by shutting it off, but it still replicated our texts onto her phone.
What could be causing this?It's called iMessage, new in iOS 5.0...these messages are going as iMessages, and as designed, they appear on all of your iOS devices(your Apple ID on your daughter's phone). Either turn iMessage off on your daughter's phone or get her her own Apple ID & wipe her phone & then setup it up again using her own Apple ID. Your daughter having her own Apple ID is recommended if you want to fully take advantage of iCloud, FaceTime, iMessage, etc. She can still use your iTunes account.

Not receiving Gmail that I send from my own account
Hi -
I seem to be receiving Gmail just fine on my BB device except when I send or copy a message to myself. I am able to receive those emails without issue in other email clients (Gmail via web, IMAP/Outlook). Has anyone experienced this and have a solution?
Details:
VZW Blackberry Tour 9630
Email setup on BB - default, plus setup to synchronize & reconcile deleted items between mailbox & device.
Gmail POP setup: I had previously had this disabled, but seems that Blackberry turns it on when the account is setup on the device.
Gmail IMAP: Enabled, this is how I access my Gmail from Outlook.
Please help - this is driving me crazy!
Thanks-My system is OS8 and X10.9.5

I have been unable to send a regular text message since the other day when I arrived in Houston and took my phone off airplane mode. I have went thru the carrier and nothing we did solved the problem. What are some options I could try. I have no problems sending imessages as long as there is a data connection.
Text messages are a carrier feature so if you are having problems sending them I would check with your carrier
