Skype numbers can receive and send SMS?

Hey , i need to buy a Skype Number. Will i be able to recieve and send SMS ?
Regret is unprofessional.

Hi, Kitharass, and welcome to the Community!
Let us start by explaining the only thing that a Skype Number will do for you: a Skype Number will provide a real land-line (or, fixed-line) telephone number for people to call you on if they do not use or have Skype. You receive the call on Skype. Believe it or not, that's all there is to it!
So, your Skype Number neither sends nor receives SMS messages.
In other words, you can send SMS messages directly from your Skype account and do not need a Skype Number to send SMS messages; please note Skype does not currently support receiving SMS messages.
Kind regards,
Elaine

Hello there,

You cannot convert an existing account, but you can set up your Yahoo account as IMAP in parallel to the existing POP account. See

Imessage won't send texts/pictures, but can receive if send them to myself

I can't find the answer to this:
I have imessage on my iphone4s, but i can't send pictures to other imessage users. If I send them as SMS/MMS to another user, through the carrier, it works fine. I have tried sending the pictures to myself through imessage and I can receive them well.
What I have tired:
Having my brothers iphone next to me and making sure imessage works (blue text), he won't receive some of my texts and pictures.
Turned off imessage and sent text (SMS) to my brother's iphone, he will recieve the message.
Disabled Imessage and restarted my phone, reinabled imessage, tried again NO LUCK
I sent text to myself on imessage, can receive and send, sent picture to myself on imessage, can send and recieve.
sent picture to myself from my brothers iphone using imessage, can receive.
My thoughts, seems like something got corrupted? Might have to restore my phone but wanted to see if anyone has had any better solutions.

I have the exact same issue! I have tried compeltely restoring my iphone, turning off and on imessage different itunes accounts etc etc NOTHING will work. I am on the latest 5.1 and no luck whatsoever! Any help would be aprreciated thanks.

I have an ipad mini 16G wifi - why can't I send SMS txt msg and only imessages? On the settings, there is no option for "send SMS when imessage not available" like on my iphone.

Why can't I send SMS messages from my ipad mini 16g wifi?

Even when your iPad Mini has a 3G cellular modem onboard, the iPad Mini still can NOT send or receive SMS Text messages.
The 3G modem is only used for a internet data connection and has no software to either send or receive SMS text messages even though the hardware is available.
I can confirm this with the iPad Mini iOS6.1 with 3G cellular modem.
Apple Support has this issue currenlty under investigation - you can follow this issue here:

What does "can't easily send SMS" mean? What problems are you having with SMS? Without details, no one could possibly give you a reason or solutions.
Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears?

Iphone 4s-when wifi is off and I am away from my home connection can I receive and send texts and text messages? I want to keep my wifi off to limit data (email etc) to when I want to check it. Cellular is roaming"voice only" it says.Can I get texts?

When my wifi is off and I'm away from my home connection - it shows wifi off (unless I turn it on to check my email etc.) - and in the settings cellular it shows "voice only". Will I be able to receive and send texts in those settings? Or check voicemail. I had wanted to keep my email from coming in all the time and only want to check it periodically - so I turn ON my wifi when I want to check my email. But when my wifi was off away from home- I hadn't seemed to be getting my texts. So- do I need to keep wifi roaming connected when away from home to receive and send my texts in real time. (which is what I want) or am I still able to send and receive texts with my wifi off when I'm away from home. (When I'm home I am connected to my home data plan automatically through wifi and I get texts when I'm home - but I'm thinking I'm not getting texts in real time - is it because my wifi is off when I'm away from home? My cellular shows voice only when my wifi is off away from home. Am I doing it right to receive and send texts away from home? Or do I need to open up the wifi in order to receive and send text messages. I know that I would need to turn on wifi roaming - which will use data - for email checking or sending - as well as to use browsing apps and now I'm guessing to receive voice messages I may have missed? So do I need wifi on to receive texts too? Thank you - GregorySC

Hello GregorySC,
In order to send and receive SMS or MMS messages, you will need to have an active cellular data or Wi-Fi connection.
You will need these to send and receive iMessages:
An iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
iOS 5.0 or later
A cellular data connection or a Wi-Fi connection
A phone number or Apple ID registered with iMessage in Settings > Messages

Droid X receives and sends calls but neither party can hear

My Droid X would receive and send calls but nether party can hear each other, however I can send dial tones on the line. The receiving side can not send tones. Resetting to factory is dramatic. What can I do to fix this. Thanks!

Sounds like the software could be corrupt, how is hard reset dramatic?
It is either hardware or software, you won't know until you eliminate one.

With the new OS X Yosemite operating system, yes you can. It can send and receive them. With Yosemite and IOS 8.1 (released today) you can send and receive them from your iPad as well.
