Reply by message instead of taking a call - automatically sends as iMessage?

I like the new reply by message feature when someone calls you and you can't answer it. But my phone keeps sending them automatically as iMessages, even to contacts who aren't on iPhones. Normally when I'm sending texts to these people they don't go as iMessages, it's only happening with the reply feature. Any ideas? Is it a bug?

Your iPhone detail provided is 3G and 6.1.3.
6.1.3 is not supported with the 3G. With the 3GS and up.
Send as SMS is available as an option with iOS 6 and iMesssge.

    I want to use iCloud for every thing else except for Messages. I do not want to send an iMessage and receive it on both my iPhone and Mac.
    How do I do that?

    Howdy kingtonz,
    If I understand you correctly, you want to limit to limit your use of the Messages application to non-iCloud sources such as text messaging through your phone carrier, is that right?
    You can turn off the use of iMessages in Settings > Messages > iMessage. See this help article -
    Messages settings - iPhone
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • Message body is empty, when calling wf_notification.send ,

    hi,
    i am sending a messages to 5 peoples, using wf_notification.send api.
    but the when i check the emails, mesage body is empty.
    prior to calling wf_notification.send Api,
    my message body has been generated by the message attribute of type document(plsqlclob), iam using wf_engine.setItemAttribute and the argument avalue is like this
    avalue=> 'plsql:koc_overtime_web_pkg02.show_mgr_message_TST/'||itemtype || ':' || ItemKey) for setting this message attribute(this will generate html)
    Shall i need to use any callback function in my send api.
    regards.
    zameer.

    If you are using WF_ENGINE.SetItemAttrText API, I see that you have a workflow item that is launched. In such a case you could just have a notification activity within the same process that will send the notification and the e-mail appropriately.
    Why do you use WF_NOTIFICATION.Send using an attribute value that is set from a Workflow item.
    Typically WF_NOTIFICATION.Send function is used to send a notification outside of a workflow process. Typically you would use a workflow message definition and corresponding message attribute definition and use the following code to send the notification.
    declare
        l_nid   number;
        l_user  varchar2(320) := '&1';
        l_begin_date date;
    begin
        l_nid := wf_notification.send(l_user, 'CS_MSGS', 'FYI_MESSAGE');
        wf_notification.setattrtext(l_nid, 'SENDER', 'Oracle Workflow Testing Mailer');
        wf_notification.setattrtext(l_nid, 'MESSAGE_TEXT', ' Message sent at '||to_char(sysdate,'DD-MON-RRRR HH24:MI:SS')||' DB server time');
        wf_notification.denormalize_notification(l_nid);
        commit;
    end;
    /As you can observe, I do not depend on any workflow item for any attribute information. Please note that in case if there is a requirement to depend on a workflow item, it is required that you need to pass a Callback function and Context to WF_NOTIFICATION.Send function in order for the workflow item attribute information to be copied over to notification attributes.

  • I have Messages...but I can't send an iMessage??

    I'm really sorry because I'm sure this is a repeat, but I couldn't find my exact problem in the forum already...
    I downloaded Mountain Lion successfully and I love everything...but I cannot send any iMessages on the Messages app.
    I used "Messages Beta" and sent iMessages just fine, so I'm not a total idiot or anything.
    When I try to add my contact (whom I know has iMessage on their phone, and yes I have their phone number in their contact profile), all that comes up is their name and I can't click on it to add it or anything.
    I'm sure this is a common problem...is this just a bug on Apple's behalf??

    Um, I wouldn't hold my breath and expect Apple to release an iOS exactly one year after the previous one.
    Did they release any previous iOS on an anniversary? Apple likes to delay, and I highly doubt that any anniversary is part of their release date logic. I do hope you're right though cause I'm looking forward to iOS 6 very, very much.
    They're still running iPhone 4S commercials (and making new ones as well), and the iPhone 5 is expected to be released sometime this Fall as well, although I don't see that happening and personally suspect a Winter late '12/early '13 release date.

  • My friend has an iphone with no data plan, how do i send sms messages without my own iphone trying to send an imessage

    i have an iphone5 with a data plan, my friend has an iphone5 with no data plan, 
    how do i send sms messages to him without my own iphone trying to send an imessage
    im sure we can tap on the message and select "send as text or sms"
    but is there a setting that says 'if recipient has no data, then send as text' - so its more automated
    almost like the setting that says 'if i have no data then send sms'.

    I have an iPhone 5s with a data plan but I have iMessage turned off. Everyone I know with an iPhone has no problem sending me texts and they automatically go out as sms. If your friend doesn't want others to send messages via iMessage even when he has wi-fi access he can turn iMessage off in Settings > Messages.  If that doesn't resolve the issue see the quote below from (ignore the non-Apple phone references): Can’t receive text messages on a non-Apple phone
    If you don't have access to your iPhone, or if you can't deactivate iMessage from your iPhone, please contact Apple Support. Support for this issue is free.

  • Iphone 4s wont make calls or send texts/ iMessage not working

    My iPhone 4s just recently started showing 'No Service" in the top left corner of the screen and iMessage will not activate either. It switches off from no service to having service. I cannot make calls either. Ive tried calling *228 but my phone will not make the call. I cant send regular text messages either it just comes back as message failed to send. As you can see this is very frustrating as I need my phone to do the basics of texting and calling. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Here are some things to try.
    Call Customer Service and ask them to check your local towers
    Hard reset of the phone.
    Reset the Networks on the phone settings.  Settings > General > scroll to bottom > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    Back up to iTunes on a computer and restore

  • Reply with message issue

    I have a 3GS, my wife has a 4S. Both are on IOS6. Her reply with message works fine when i call her. Mine doesn't. Basically i get a message saying delivered, but in a new stream, and the message doesn't get to her.
    If i turn off imessage, all is well, but that sort of defeats the object.
    Also, in this new stream if i try a normal message it doesn't get there either despite saying it is delivered. I have even tried selecting her number from the contact info butoon and it doesn't work.
    Basically, there is a bug with imessage and the reply with message service. Its almost like the reply with message is picking a null address.
    I haven't tried with a non iphone user, as its all we have, but i will be trying this out tomorrow. I expect as i'm not using imessage it will work.

    I found it!!! General, Passcode Lock, and make sure that under "Allow Access When Locked" catagory Reply with Message is ON

  • I just upgraded my iPhone4s to iOS7 and now I am unable to make phone calls and send/receive text messages. Network signal indicator on the upper left side of the display shows hollow circles instead of full circles. Any idea how to fix the problem?

    I just upgraded my iPhone4s to iOS7 and now I am unable to make phone calls and send/receive text messaes. Network signal indicator on the upper left side of the display shows hollow circles instead of full circles (but with the network provider name). I checked with my colleagues in the office who use the same network and theirs work just fine on iOS7. Any idea how to fix the problem?

    I have also called my service provider and my service remains active in the network. I tried removing and reinserting my SIM but to no avail.

  • How to setup reply with message

    how to setup the "reply with message" feature on the iphone5

    This feature is automatically enabled on the iPhone 5. When you get a call you will see the "swipe up" icon next to the "slide to answer", when you sail up you will have the option to reply with text message.
    There are only three messages to choose from but you can change them at Settings > Phone > Reply with message > you can then overwrite the existing text options.

  • How to disable reply with message

    I find that I constantly reject calls when I pick up my iPhone because the "Reply with message" screen is touched before I can find the "Answer" button.  I can't find a setting to turn off the "Reply with message" "feature" only to change the message.  How do I get rid of this annoying "feature?"

    I have had the same problem. Last week, I actually responded with "what's up" to a client!  It was horrifying and embarassing and I had to perfusely apologize. How unprofessional. A lot of consulting firms are starting to use iPhones, so Apple had better get a fix for this quick.
    Has anyone found a way to disable this? 
    I have only found one solution: to put a password on my phone, and then go to settings -> general -> passlock -> reply with message OFF. Is there a way to do this without having to add a passcode?

  • How do you set a pre-recorded message to play when a caller calls your iPhone before you pick up?

    How do you set a pre-recorded message to play when a caller calls your iPhone before you pick up? My office is trying to use an iPhone for our business, and we want to give a brief introductory message that the caller will hear, before we pick up the line. Are there ay apps for this? Thanks!

    There is no setting for that on the phone. Some carriers provide ringback tones, which play instead of the caller hearing a ring. But I am not aware of an app that would play a message prior to you picking up the phone. The amount of time before you pick up is not a constant, and if it lasts too long, then the call would go to voicemail.

  • The new Reply with Message or Reminde me Later options are not showing on iPhone 3GS after upgrade to ios 6

    I just upgraded 2 iPhone 3GS to ios 6 and on neither one is there an option to "Reply With Message" or "Remind Me Later" when there is an incoming call. There is no little phone icon (like the camera one on the lock screen) that you can drag up to expose the new options. Is there something more that needs to be done to enable these features? I tried changing the 3 canned messages from the settings but with the same result. From what I read this is suppose to be available on iPhone 3GS

    Swiping up does nothing, the options do not appear. I tried swiping up all over the screen when a call comes in and nothing. The incoming call screen looks identical to how it appeared in ios 5. My understanding was that with ios 6 there is supposed to be a little phone icon in the bottom right hand corner (similar to the camera icon on the lock screen) appear on the incoming call screen and you swip up on this icon to reveal the options. This icon is not shown on the incoming call screen on either phone.

  • Replying to messages in thread view replies to the first message

    I have set Mail so that I see messages in threads together with other related messages (across mailboxes).
    However, when I try to reply to a message using ctrl-R, by deafult Mail replies to the oldest message, rather than the newest one.
    Any idea why this may happen?
    thanks!

    That is not the way it behaves for me.  I just tested it by selecting a "conversation" and hitting command-R, and it replied to the newest message.  Are you using the classic layout (like Mail in Snow Leopard) or the new Lion layout?
    If you're using the Lion layout, note that clicking anywhere in a message in the conversation will select that message, and then replies go to that message instead.  Selection is subtle, but you can tell a message is selected from a blue "glow" around the edges of the message and the number in the upper right corner of the message turns blue.
