Receiving texts and phone calls on new MB Air???

My new MBPro receives both Text messages and phone calls sent to my iPhone.
My wife has a new MB Air and is not getting hers.
What do I need to do to set her MBA up for those functions?

  • HT1222 having problem's receiving texts and phone calls and all contacts are coming up as unknown when they ring

    Hi. I recently bought a new iphone 4s two weeks ago. with the last two day's people cannot get throught to me, Even do i have full reception on the vodafone ireland network it says my phone is powered off. Also when someone does eventually get throught to me there number comes up "unknown" even do its saved in my contacts and there name used to show up. Also i receive text message a few hours after there orignaly sent... Please help!!!

    You shouldn't be charged if it's a hardware issue, it is under warranty for one year. As stated above, out sounds like something you installed like a messaging app. Keep in mind that not all applications in the market are safe. Factory reset and try again. If that doesn't help, go into a dealer and demand a replacement.

  • Email, Text and Phone call alerts

    Hi. I just got my BB Tour and was wondering if there is a way to silence email alerts while keeping text and phone call ring tones active? I've tried adjusting the profile under Message Alerts section but it doesn't work. I've silenced everything but SMS text and Phone but I still get a ring tone whenever I get an email. It's annoying since emails come relatively often.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    I was confused by this as well, but it eventually just sorted itself out.
    There was probably a reboot involved.
    I do remember selecting "None" for the email alerts, and still getting them.  Then, it was fixed.
    If you haven't already, try removing the battery and rebooting.  I know, it's the same lame suggestion for everything, but at least I offer hope that it's fixable.

  • IOS 7 downloaded fine but I can't back up restored. Tried 3 times. Tried turning off iCloud. Now I can only receive texts and phone messages. I cannot make calls, retrieve phone messages or send any texts. When I try I just get a blank screen. HELP

    I initially tried to do this at 11:39pm last night. I cleaned up my apps, backed up to my computer and then took the plunge. It downloaded fine, everything went ok until I tried to restore backup. I received a message that there was an error in iTunes and iPhone could not be restored. I tried this three times giving up at 2:00 am. I tried again at 7:30am. No fix. Now I can open up phone and browse in safari. I can get notifications that a text was received or a phone message left but I can't receive or make phone calls, retrieve phone messages, or access any text features. Also I have NO purchased apps. I use my phone got work and this has ruined my day - please help!!

    I would start with going to O2 with the phone and making sure it's set up properly - maybe the SIM they gave you isn't quite right or their network isn't acknowleding it like it should.
    Seeing as you've tried restoring to factory settings and resetting network settings, I'm assuming you've tried restoring the phone as new, just to see if that helped at all. If that didn't help, you definitely need to get in touch with O2 and work things out with them.

  • How to silence incoming text and phone calls on iphone 5

    I have an IPhone 5 and I cannot get it to silence the alarm sound when I am receiving a new text or incoming call.

    Howdy morrissign,
    I read your post, and it sounds as though you'd like to learn how to silence your device. I have linked to an article that will instruct you on how to do that:
    iPhone Buttons
    Adjusting the Volume
    When you're on the phone or listening to songs, movies, or other media, the buttons on the side of iPhone adjusts the audio volume. Otherwise, the buttons control the volume for the ringer, alerts, and other sound effects.
    To adjust the volume, use the buttons on the side of iPhone. 
    Flip the Ring/Silent switch to change between ring  and silent  modes. 
    When set to ring mode, iPhone plays all sounds. When set to silent mode, iPhone doesn't ring or sound any alerts or sound effects (alarms set using Clock do sound). By default, when you get a call, iPhone vibrates whether it's set to ring or silent mode. 
    If iPhone is set to ring mode, you can silence a call by pressing the Sleep/Wake button or one of the volume buttons once. Press a second time to send the call to voicemail.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • Why dont i receive texts or phone calls when my phones off or flat?

    I Have an iphone 4 and have had it for nearly 2 years. Ever since i got my phone i have not been able to receive text messages or phone calls when its turned off or flat.
    So if my phone goes flat and i turn it back on, i never receive calls or texts. I have tried turning my phone off then getting someone else to text me, then i have turned it on and the text does not come up?
    i really need help on this due to family or work texting me and i dont realise.
    Thanks.

    I don't understand why you would expect to receive calls when the phone is turned off. By definition, it's OFF; it is not going to work. If you have voicemail enabled on your line callers should be given the option of leaving a message, which you can then listen to when the phone is on. If a caller does not leave a message there is no way to know that they called.

  • Trouble with sending texts and making calls with new Verizon iPhone 4S

    A friend of mine just upgraded from a 3G on AT&T to a 4S on Verizon. She sync'd her contacts via iCloud. She is having an issue where if she takes the 1 out of a contact's name from her address book, txts don't send. If she leaves the 1 in, it doesn't recognize the name, and just lists the 1 (201) xxx-xxxx at the top instead. Worse, when making calls, if that contact does not have a 1 before the area code, it tells her her plan isn't set up for international calling and that it can't complete the call. I am on AT&T so I can't help her. My phone has the international assist option, I assume Verizon's does too.
    I can edit my phone number on my AT&T phone; it appears she cannot edit hers to either add or delete the 1 before hers.
    Surely this is easily fixable -- just thought I'd see if anyone knows what's going on here. Thanks all.

    I'm also a Verizon subscriber - have been with Verizon since the summer of 2001 and when my contract renewed last June, I selected the same phone as my free upgrade.
    I was looking forward to using the same features with my Mac when I discovered that Verizon purposely disabled these features and I'm not completely sure why but it must involve protecting a potential revenue stream for Verizon.
    My existing 2-yr contract with Verizon expires a year from this June and I plan on making the switch to Cingular at that time primarily due to Verizon disabling these bluetooth features but also due to the iPhone. Cingular has excellent coverage in my area - I have a number of friends who are Cingular subscribers that get better reception at my residence than I do and I use my cell phone in place of a land line. The iPhone will have been on the market for a year or so at that time and I expect a new and improved iPhone model to be available by then. And if I decide not to purchase an iPhone, I'm making the switch to Cingular regardless.

  • BB Curve 9300 doing random things, won't let me type my unlock password, send/receive texts or phone calls

    I have had my BB Curve 9300 for 1 day, today it appears to be doing random things, when I try to type my unlock password it is putting random characters in. Its also sending random text messages out and I am unable to answer any calls? Any ideas? Thanks

    Sounds like this could be a software issue. Have you upgrade any of the software or changes any settings or put a different OS on the phone?
    If Not
    I would suggest taking it back to where you bought it and have them issue it as an OBF (Out of Box Failure). Afew BBS have this problem and usually they come with a 7 days warranty in case of a manufacturing fault. Should that be the case I would recommend that you take your 9300 back and demand for either a replacement of for them to fix it for you free of charge.
    But should you have changed something or added new software then the fault lays on you and you're responsible for the fixing of the BB.

  • Cleaning up email, text, and phone

    Just moved from a BlackBerry to Droid Razr Maxx and don't intuitively find a way to Delete All for email, text, and phone lists.   Any advice?  Thank you.

        Congratulations on the upgrade to your new Razr Maxx.
    The OS with an Android is considerably different than the OS for the Blackberry.
    With that being said, there isn't a way to delete email, texts and phone calls all in one swoop.
    To delete  multiple emails, you can go to the email icon, select Menu, Select all.
    To delete multiple text messages you can go to the Messages, long press on the message conversations you want to delete and they will turn blue. In the upper right hand corner you will see a trash can and it will delete the selected messages when pressed.
    To clear call logs, go to the the Phone icon, press menu and Clear List.
    I hope this has helped.
