Sending text messages to nin I phone users? My texts won't go through! Any ideas?

Hi - I can't send texts to non I phone users! What am I doing wrong? Thanks so much!

You probably aren't doing anything wrong! Check 'Settings' > 'Messages' > 'iMessage' and ensure that iMessage is turned on (a toggle button to the right will be lit up green if on).  If that's okay, then try holding the power button on top and the home button on the bottom-front of the screen down together for 10-15 seconds to reset the phone.  Report back if still no fix. Good luck!

  • My iPhone has suddenly started sending texts from email address. Any ideas on how to fix?

    Hi my iPhone has just started sending texts from email account. This only happens when the text is sent to other iPhone users. Weirdly it jumps between normal text address and back to email. Any ideas?

    When I turn iMessage off, it sends from my phone number.  When I turn it back on and check the caller ID, it has my phone number checked, however, when I start texting again, people are still receiving the messages from my email.  Any advice?

  • I am having tremendous difficulty sending simple voice text messages, or typed text messages to non I-phone users. Picture text messages will not send at all and can only be sent to other i-phone users. Is anyone else haing this problem ??  Big concern

    Well this is stupid - I wrote the question above and now it is telling me the message is blank - how dumb is this.
    I am having tremendous difficulty sending sipmle typed texts, voice texts and picture text messages to non I- phone users.
    Simple text messages are sporadic and seem to be impacted by whether I incluse a subject or not - picture texts will not go at all.
    Anyone else having this problem ???

    It's a corporate phone so will need to check. Will not send text messages to non I-phones if they contain a "subject" or a picture.  Wierd - regular voice or typed text messages are fine.

    No phone can send photos via SMS. You would need MMS (or iMessage or a 3rd party app such as WhatsApp). SMS messages are limited to 160 characters of text only.

  • 2 days ago I was able to manually send my text messages to my email in box. Now I can't.. any ideas?

    2 days ago I was able to manually send my text messages to my email in box. Now I can't.. any ideas?
    I was always able to go into the particular text that I wanted to save. Press on the text and it would give the option of either copy, more or speak.  I would click more and on the far left side the text would be checked and I was able to click and check multiple texts within. Once I had selected what I wanted to send to my email account. I would click on the arrow on the bottom right side and a new screen would come up I would tap within and all the text messages that I checked would appear and I would then enter my email address and hit the send and it would appear in my email send box.  NOW I CAN”T DO THIS.. I have been on the phone with Apple 3 times with no reason… Anyone have suggestions?

    Without knowing what settings you are currently using, its impossible to say what has gone wrong.
    These are the 2 (different sets of) settings Apple provides:

    Yes I have turned imessage off a number of times and that does not seem to he doing the trick, and it is not delivering them then I have to press on the photo and either chose try again or send as text message, I have had the setting on to not allow sending pictures as texts (so they can only send as imessage) since I got my phone in January and it has always worked until now, I have turned that off to allow me to send them as picture messages now but it's still not working over iMessage, I have also tried it using 3G and not wifi

  • You can't send a message on behalf of this user unless you have permission to do so

    Hi,
    We are on Exchange 2010 SP2 with multiple domain name. All works ok. We need to be able to use other domains while sending email. For example, i have a default reply address set for [email protected] along with other addresses i.e [email protected] etc on
    policy. I am receiving emails and can reply only using [email protected] I get the following error if i try to send email from [email protected]
    [email protected]
    You can't send a message on behalf of this user unless you have permission to do so. Please make sure you're sending on behalf of the correct sender, or request the necessary permission. If the
    problem continues, please contact your helpdesk.
    Users should have the ability to choose an address as they need rather that fixing to a single 'set as reply address'. I am sure it is possible. Can some provide some help/direction?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Byron,
    Looked like a workable solution but could not get it to work. I am getting NDR with permission issue. I have created the distribution group with email address. Added the user in it. Given the user Full access and SEND AS permission. 
    Hi, I'm not sure what issue you are running into, but you can definitely give a user Send As permission for a group and then send as the group. I just verified in my test environment.
    To assign the Send As permission, the easy way it in AD User and Computers.
    Enable Advanced Features from the View menu first. This allows you to see the
    Security tab.
    In ADUC, find the group and open the Properties.
    On the Security tab, Add the user.
    With the user selected in the list, Allow the Send as
    permission.
    There may be a bit of lag time before that begins to work as Exchange may have cached some AD permissions, but it definitely works.

    Hi there HotFerrari,
    It sounds like you are unable to restore your device from a backup you have in iTunes. I recommend the troubleshooting from the article named:

  • HT204368 I am trying to link via bluetooth my apple iphone 3 to a plantronics voyager 520. Everything is charged, bluetooth turned on etc. My phone searches but cannot find the signal. Any ideas? Alan

    here is an interesting thing: take the iphone and set lock screen to never. Now make an email with siri--be sure to activate her with call button. get to the body and get some text in there. then just stop talking. LOCK SCREEN APPEARS!!!!!! and of course you draft is gone.
    There does seem to be a work around for some--maybe all these issues. Don't use the call button--use the buttons on the phone.
    Siri seems to behave properly with scenerio above---sans call button. She does not go to lock.

    I have created a series of pdf schematics in a portfolio that revolves. For the field service techs I would like it to work on a smart phone or tablet. On the phones and tablet, they do not revolve. Any idea's? I am using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. It looks great and works as expected on my system, but the techs cannot scroll through the different prints.

    Edge has very clear restrictions, one being that you must have 6 months of clean payment history which you don't. Either wait until April 14, or good luck at Sprint.
    I am unsure how it can be determined the payment mix up was the fault of CS, but regardless, the mix up was done. There can be any number of reasons why a payment could be missed without any fault on your part, however you are still the responsible party for the account and must live with the repercussions.
