Sending AND Receiving Text Messages on PC through iPhone without jailbreaking

how can i send and receive text messages on my pc with my iphone number? i also would like these messages to still show up on my phone.  i know if the phone is jailbroken, wifisms used to work. is there anything for non jailbroken phones?

Is there a checkmark by the phone number, or is it just grayed out? If there is no checkmark, then turn off iMessage, wait a moment and turn it back on. See if it activates. If so, then go to Send & Receive and you should see the checkmark. The phone picks up the number from your phone when it activates iMessage.

  • Is there a software in which I can hook up my iPhone 4s to my computer and send and receive text messages and calls (via headset) through my computer?

    Is there a software in which I can hook up my iPhone 4s to my computer and send and receive text messages and calls (via headset) through my computer? Whether it's free or cost money, can someone please give me a name of a program or software that allows me to do this? I can't seem to find anything like this for the iPhone.

    No.

  • I'm sending and receiving text messages in pairs (iMessage & Text)

    Hello Apple Support Community,
    I recently started sending and receiving text messages in pairs, one as an iMessage & and the other as regular text message (through Verizon). 
    This is happening automatically and apparently I'm not the only one with this problem. 
    Does anybody know the reasons to this problem and is there a solution to this?
    Is Verizon just trying to charge my text messages so that I can't utilize apple's iMessage anymore?
    Thanks,
    -Daki

    The same thing is happening to my fiancé. Whenever someone sends him an iMessage as a text message, he will first receive the text, and when he'll connect to wifi or 3g, he'll receive the iMessage as well.
    He has an iPhone 4s (in case that has anything to do with it - I have the 5s and we both have the same iOS, but somehow this never happens to me).

  • My wife and I share the same email address and Apple ID.  We are not able to send and receive Text Messages to one another.

    My wife and I share the same email address and Apple ID. We are not able to send and receive Text Messages to one another. Is the cause of this because we share the same Apple ID? Will we have to set up 2 separate primary email addresses to be able to  send and receive Tex Messages to one another? Like I said, we share the same email address and woul like to keep it that way to keep up with our email together. Is there a way to by-pass having to set up 2 primary emaill addresses if this is the problem?
    Thanks.

    go to the settings and turn off imessage
    but that don't change the issue that you will never be able to facetime eachtoher
    the appleID is really meant as the handle that identify you it was not meant to be shared
    but can see that people may want to do not buy apps more then once

  • HT1355 Can you send and receive text messages in airplane mode?

    Can you send and receive text messages while in airplane mode?

    No. Regular SMS's require a cellular connection. However, iMessage will work in Airplane Mode, as all that requires is an Internet connection. You can turn WiFi back on while in Airplane Mode.

  • My iphone 4 will not send and receive text messages at random times

    My iphone 4 will not send and receive text messages at random times.  My brother has the same phone, lives in the same home and doesn't have this problem.  I can't receive messages without my iphone displaying a message asking for my phone number at random times. It happens intermittently.  Does anyone know why this happens? I am referring to regula text messages not imessages.  I have turned it off and also updated to the most recent software. thanks

    I've been an AT&T customer since they were under different names in the 90s and have never heard/seen that. I would check with them. I'd really like to see that error. To get a screenshot on the phone, press the home button and sleep/wake button together quickly and release. You will see the screen flash slightly and hear the camera shutter noise.

  • Why can't I send and receive text messages on my new 5c ?

    Why can't I send and receive text messages on my new 5c ?
    I can send imessages. I can sometimes send texts. But I cannot ever send picture texts. and I am not receiving texts.

        Antny,
    Yikes, this is no bueno let's get these messages back up and flowing. Are you able to send out regular text messages ok? Ensure your Picture Messages feature is turned on, follow these steps: Settings>Messages>MMS Messaging. Also ensure Send as SMS is turned on as well. If these features are turned on then try this: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings then retest. Keep us posted please.

  • Can't send and receive text messages

    Hello,
    For around 2-3 weeks I can't send and receive text messages. When I try to text somebody, the message appears as "Not delivered". On the ! there are only 2 options: Try again and Cancel. If I choose to "Try again", the results is the same: the message is not delivered.
    When somebody is trying to text me, the message appears as delivered on their phone, but does not reach mine.
    Please advice
    Regards
    Irina

    Yes, I contact them and the problem was on their side. Now my problem is solved

  • Why can't I call out when I'm in Mongolia? I can receive calls and send and receive text messages.

    I'm currently in Mongolia and can not call out from my iPhone 4S using a Mobicom SIM card. I can receive calls and send and receive texts. I use my regular SIM card from Canada and it works fine. It worked fine 6 months ago.

    Having incorrect APN settings shouldn't be stopping text message from coming though. But to get the correct APN setting just delete any APN profiles on the device. And the EE ones should just get installed but you can just to make sure use the link that has posted.
    You don't need a online account to top-up unless your using the account to top-up through.

    with text messages not coming through I have to ask are you getting a signal ?

  • Cannot send and receive text messages

    (1) My 4S cannot send text message using SMS/MMS, have to use iMessage. Without WiFi signal, I cannot even receive incoming text messages, unless I have to turn on Cellular Data all the time.
    (2) I cannot send picture message using SMS/MMS, have to use iMessage.

    Verizon rep fixed the text message problem.
    Here is the 2nd question.
    If there is no WiFi available and Cellular Data is OFF, I cannot send picture using SMS/MMS with iPhone 4S. SMS/MMS works for me to send picture message when I use basic phone.
    You need the Cellular Data ON to send MMS messages.  SMS messages should be able send and receive with out the cellular data on.

  • Sending and receiving text messages

    How do I get my phone to send and receive messages through my phone number instead of my email address? When I go to the settings it wont let me click on my phone number to send and receive.

    Is there a checkmark by the phone number, or is it just grayed out? If there is no checkmark, then turn off iMessage, wait a moment and turn it back on. See if it activates. If so, then go to Send & Receive and you should see the checkmark. The phone picks up the number from your phone when it activates iMessage.

  • Brand New Iphone 5c can't send or receive text messages of any kind!? I've tried everything, why does no one have a solution for this? There's no way we're keeping a phone that can't even perform one of it's most basic functions. Help!

    Got the new Iphone 5c from Verizon today and was really happy with the phone until we realized it is unable to send or recieve text messages AT ALL. We've tried everything, searched the internet for hours, I've tried live chatting with Verizon and Apple ALL DAY and somehow keep getting "disconnected" even though my internet is working perfectly. The phone is pretty much useless if it's unable to perform one of it's main functions and it's really dissapointing to add a line, get the phone, only to discover a major problem with seemingly no solution whatsoever. Is there any fix for this? Because a phone that is incapable of sending or receiving a simple SMS message is pretty much useless. It's too bad too because I really love the phone if not for that. Does anyone have a legitimate way to solve this problem? We've done everything, network resets, turning imessaging on and off, factory reset, etc. etc. etc. and nothing works. Please help.

        Hello Idkallday!
    I know your device sends and receives text messages! Let's get to work on this! Did you port your service from another carrier, or is this a new number? Is your previous device still powered on?
    I also want to ask if you are able to use iMessaging, and if you see any error message when sending?
    Please test it by sending a message to your own mobile number, and keep us posted!

    I cannot send or receive text messages on my pantech breakout. Anyone know the solution

    There could be many reasons - and you've given us no clues.  Let me ask you some questions that may help us find a solution:
    Is this a new phone, or a new account?
    Did you recently port your number to Verizon from another carrier?
    Did you recently change your plan?
    Have you been able to send and receive text messages, with this phone or another Verizon phone?
    A few background details will help.
