Searching app to send/recei​ve SMS text message to regular cellphone.

Hi everyone,
I have searched before asking this (on web and forums), and could not find an adequate reply to my question. Maybe someone can help me here: I am looking for an app (or website accessible from Bberry) that would allow me to text (sms) to a regular cellphone (in Asia) for free. Does this exist?
Thanks.

Try rebooting the phone by pressing and holding the on/off and home buttons simultaneously until the screen goes blank and you see the apple logo. It should take about 10-15 seconds to reboot. Then see if you can send a message.

    iOS 5 handles texts differently than previous versions.  Resetting the network connections helps, but that didn't seem to solve your problem, and neitherdid the simple reset. 
    Try deleting old messages from the messages app, then after clearing up a lot, just do a simple restart of your phone.  If you want to be extra sure, try resetting your network connections again.  I had this same problem.  Your last option would be a complete restore of the phone, but I don't think we'll have to go that far. 

  • How do i import outlook email addresses to iphone and send as a SMS text messages

    How do i import outlook email addresses to iphone and send as a SMS text messages?

    You can send a message through an email gateway so that it appears as a text on someone's phone. However, it's not their regular address. For example, for a Verizon customer, it would be [email protected] Perhaps that's what you're thinking of?

  • I cannot send or receive SMS text messages and my number is not showing up in the 'Recieve At' location..how do I fix this?

    I just bought and activated a new Iphone 4s and I cannot send or receive normal SMS text messages. Also, my number is not showing up in the "receive at" location. Any help??

    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    Beyond that... since you state you've tried all "recommended fixes" have you actually restored as new and not from your backup?

  • Can Messages beta send sms text messages?

    Is it possible to send and receive sms text messages from my Mac?

    I actually forgot to mention that bit, as I always turn on the instant messaging field by default in my template settings. For those that don't know how to do this, just open the address book preferences (Command + Comma) or from the Address Book menu, select Preferences, go to the Template tab, click the 'Add Field' drop down, and select "instant messaging'. I did define those SMS numbers as "AIM" for the 'type'.
    Not really keen on the idea that I have to leave my AIM account logged in as I rarely use it these days, but I haven't found a way to work around that yet.

  • Why do SMS text messages sent to my iPhone while its powered off fail to arrive when I switch it back on?

    Normally if someone sends you a SMS text message when your phone is switched off the message will be delivered to you when you switch the phone back on.
    My iPhone 4 running iOS7 doesn't do this. 
    If someone sends me a SMS text message while the phone is off it permanently disappears.  When I turn my phone on the message never arrives.
    The problem has been identified when the person sending the text is using another iPhone, an Android phone, a Blackberry or an old Nokia handset.
    The problem is repeatable 100% of the time.
    If my phone is switched on it receives texts ok.
    If I put my SIM card in another iPhone it works fine.
    Anyone know why this is happening?

    Same problem there. That turning off 3G fix didn't work for me.
    It appears to be a fault with IoS 7 and iPhone 4.
    Here are lots of threads reporting the same problem.

  • Can not send SMS text message.

    Hi, I'm a BlackBerry user for 4 years now and this is the first time that I have a problem with SMS text messaging. My precious BB is a Q10.
    The problem is that I can receive SMS messages but I can not answer and I can not send messages. When I tap the 'send' icon or press Enter nothing happens. My message dissapears and i can not see in the upper window, below the message that I've previously receive and I wanted to aswer for.
    Also, I can compose SMS message, but when I press Enter or tap send, nothing happens. No message in the hub, or in the text messages folder.
    I've rebooted the device, reloaded the OS, but didn't help.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    With a strong carrier network signal (e.g., not merely WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (step 1 should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
    1) Register HRT
    KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
    Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive
    2) Reboot
    Pre-BB10 Devices ONLY. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.
    BB10 Devices. Hold the top button down until the counter reaches zero. Wait for the device to be fully shut down (e.g., nothing at all displayed on the screen, no LED lights, etc.). Hold the top button until the red LED is lit. Wait through the full boot-up process. IF this fails, you can attempt the battery-pull method above, but it is normally NOT recommended unless nothing else works.
    See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should contact your mobile service provider for formal support.
    Good luck!

  • Imessage stopped sending my SMS text messages, do you know why?

    I updated my MacBook Pro a while ago to Yosemite - and surprisingly it worked out (together with my iphone4) to send imessage AS WELL AS normal text messages. However 2 days ago it stopped working and logs out all the time. Only imessage come through (but not always).
    Do you guys have a clue, what the problem could be?
    Thanks a lot!

    Thanks Malcom! I just tried inserting the short characters before the message and it works.
    But it's really boring having to type *# etc in front of a text message. The iPhone keypad doesn't lend itself very well for such exercises...
    But thanks a lot for pointing me to a temporary workaround.
    It's a bit embarrasing for Apple that Nokias, Ericssons, Samsungs etc do this automatically and you can chose delivery report on/off in settings for all these phones. But with Apple iPhone you have to write your own little string of code to get this basic functionality...
    YOu actually have to make an extra 10-15 key presses in front of EVERY sms/text message you send for this to work... Something truly time consuming and boring. When I just want to send a text-message saying "yes" I have to type in *#KV and jump between character sets etc. Not nice.
    How come Apple has failed to make this central thing of SMS/text work?

  • Sending Picture in SMS Text

    Can you send picture via the SMS text messaging? If so. How? Thanks.

    It was a pretty HUGE disappointment to realize that the iPhone does not support MMS. I've paid $400 for this awesome piece of technology that can't do something that my old, beat to ****, $100 plain cellphone can--send/recieve a text message with an attached photo to/from another cellphone or iPhone. I did this routinely with my husband and friends and losing this capability is a drag. The iPhone has such a nice camera that I'd like to be able to capture nice photos and send them to friends and family--directly on their phone. And frankly I'd like to be able to receive photos. Please, Apple engineers, reconsider your stance on excluding MMS capability.

  • 2013 Honda Civic Si, SMS Text Message Function says "Unsupported Device" when trying to use this feature with iPhone 5. Can anyone help with this?

    In my 2013 Honda Civic Si, I'm trying to use the SMS Text Message Function, but keep getting the error message, "Unsupported Device".
    I use an iPhone 5 with latest iOS 6.1.4.
    HandsFreeLink works perfectly fine with my iPhone for voice calls and for streaming Bluetooth Audio. Does text messaging not work because of iMessage? Does anyone have any suggestions for this issue?
    Thanks in advance!

    In looking for a 2013 Honda Civic (LX model, no Navi), the text feature was very interesting and important to me. Why not have my texts available on the dash and read to me rather than messing with my phone. Anyway I won't go into the whole thing about safety while you're in your driving and all that. We all know what we should and shouldn't do. Anyways...
    I spoke to a salesman who said that this feature was not compatible with the iPhone, only BBs. Of course this didn't impress me and I found it hard to believe that Honda would restrict themselves like that. Anyway, a few searches on the web later and Honda shows that the iPhone 4, 4S and 5 are compatible for receiving texts through the car, just not sending them. I believe you need a minimum of iOS 5+ for it to work though.
    Once I found this the salesman and I did some testing with our phones. He has a 4S with iOS 6.1.3 and mine is a 4 with iOS 6.1.3. Initially we setup the phone using the Bluetooth config on the Civic's iMID display. It was setup and hands-free calling tested o.k. Next the texting was tested. Both of us have iMessage turned on. Neither of us could get the messages we would send each other (1 of us had our phone setup with the car, the other sent the text and vice versa). The messages were received by the phones, just not the car). When we would go under the Text Message section, it would say "Unsupported Device". I knew that couldn't be as Honda said it was compatible. After more web searches and a phone call to Honda by the salesman, I found the following.
    1) It seems like the person who had their phone paired with the Civic had to disable iMessage to start getting texts. The salesman still had it enabled on his though when he sent me texts (as SMS) and the Civic got them so both people aren't necessarily required to disable it. Now under the Text Message section, it would list the messages received.
    2) I changed the Notifications on my phone for Messages from Banner to Alerts. Once I did this it started to work. The texts were showing up on the car. I had read where another person had tried this successfully but then changed it back to Banner and it continued to work. I experienced the same thing.
    Granted this wasn't extensive testing but I was able to get it to do something closer to what I wanted. I'm not sure why Apple and Honda can't put their heads together to make sending texts work on the car but maybe someday it will work when enough people complain. It's kind of a disappointment that I couldn't get iMessage to work but I haven't given up hope yet. As it's a proprietary protocol, I can see Honda not supporting it though.
    Hope this helps someone out!
    FYI I bought car!

  • Not found in Contacts - erorr message when composing SMS text message after Software Update 1.07 Sprint Centro

    Hardware: Palm Centro
    Wireless: Sprint
    PC OS: Windows XP Pro
    After installing the "Software Update 1.07 (Windows installer) for Centro for Sprint" (Article ID: 6012 - http://kb.palm.com/wps/portal/kb/common/article/60​12_en.html) starting from http://sprint.com/downloads, I noticed the stock Palm Messaging application that comes with the device did not work as it did prior to the update.
    I was able to fix it. Here's what the problem was and what I did to correct it.
    "Not found in Contacts" message appeared when composing and addressing a new SMS text message.
    In the Contacts app, Options>Preferences, I simply reordered the contacts from "Last Name, First Name" to "Company, Last Name", and saved the change.
    I then immediately went back into the same preference, and changed the setting back from "Company, Last Name" to "Last Name, First Name", and saved that change.
    Going back to the Messaging application, when composing a new message, now the Contacts database is linked again. Whew!
    Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

    Thank you for this information. This should help others out.

  • Setting up SMS Text message iCal alert

    Hey all, I'm trying to set up iCal to send an sms text message alert to my phone as describe on one of apples tutorials.  Either my phone isn't working, or iCal is not sending the alert.  Does iCal have to be open for this to work? Does macmail?  Anyone have any suggestions, or can someone link up to a previous discussion that covered this topic?

    Hey all,
    thanks for checkin up on it.
    The discussion posted by John has the information I was referring to.
    The problem might be with how the telephone company handles email/sms texts rather than with iCal
    I'll post a reply when I get this figured out. 
    Thanks for the replies
