SMS app on iphone

I am using Skype App to send international SMS. However, it sometimes sent via carrier instead of skype so I got charged expensive fee. Is there any way that I can set on the app only send via skype? Thanks

Do a RESET but use ERASE ALL CONTENT & SETTINGS. It will erase evrything though. CHeck my answer with the same question here.

That is because they only work on iOS devices.
As for the other issue, connect the device, select it in the left hand pane. In the right pane, select the Apps tab. Is Sync Apps checked? Is the specific App(s) checked? Is Automatically sync new apps checked?
Any errors in iTunes or on the device when syncing?

IPhone Messages (SMS) app problem

I've been having a problem with the Messages (SMS) app on my iPhone 3GS. As a matter of personal choice (or rather by nature since I'm slightly prone to OCD), I like to "close (or kill)" all my apps from the multitasking bar and have it stay nice and clean every time I use my iPhone. However, I've been getting lazy over the past few weeks and so I let the messages app stay "open" or on the multitasking bar so it opens quickly. The problem I'm having is that whenever I "close (or kill)" the Messages (SMS) app, (tapping on that little red sign when the apps are wiggling on the multitasking bar), my iPhone freezes for a while (anywhere from 10 seconds to minutes). This time is directly proportional to how long I leave the Messages app "open" for, and how many messages I receive/send. Sometimes, it does a hard reset on me by crashing completely to the Apple logo.
Now I'm not sure why this is, but my uneducated guess is that it has to do with the messages that I send/receive being indexed for search or something. Since the longer the app stays "open," the more messages it has to index, it overwhelms the iPhone and sometimes crashes, and almost always freezes.
But, I'm not an expert by any means. So can anyone explain to me what this is/how to fix it (if there are any solutions at all)?
Thank you in advance!

Here are 3 things to try, starting with the least intrusive:
1. In Settings, General, Spotlight Search, uncheck Messages (you might also want to uncheck other stuff you don't need - it all help to speed things up a bit)
2. Kill all the apps, then restart the phone - hold Home and Sleep until the Apple logo appears - about 10 seconds
3. Restore the phone via iTunes

Can anyone suggest an app to download for SMS messaging for iphone 3G as the message application factory installed is pretty useless and doesnt keep your sent messages in a sent folder

Can anyone suggest an app to download for SMS messaging for iphone 3G as the message application factory installed is pretty useless and doesnt keep your sent messages in a sent folde and has no folders unlike most messaging features on other phones.
Many thanks
Mark

Why do you need a Sent folder? iOS's Messaging interface lays each conversation out like a chat or IM. Personally, I find that much more convenient.

IPhone app that will lock SMS app?

I'm looking for an app that will lock the SMS app down with a password? I know you can lock the whole phone down but a friend is looking to secure the SMS app as a friend of his had his phone abused by another.
I searched the app store and couldn't find anything. Any ideas?

I don't think Apple will allow 3rd party developers to create a new SMS app to replace their native SMS client because it duplicates functionality of their SMS app.

Iphone 4. Updated to IOS5 is slower now than ever before. Locks up in various applications. Group sms app no longer works and phone only allows minimal groups.

Since the upgrade my phone is slower and has locked up in various applications. I also can no longer send group sms through my group sms app. My groups have 30 plus members. I have tried turning off imessage. Is there anything else i can try? Thanks

HT201269 Is there a way to download/port the missing data/SMS to one iPhone without overwriting the new SMS on the newer iPhone?

SMS Transferring/downloading/backup : Is there a way to download/port the missing data/SMS to one iPhone without overwriting the new SMS on the newer iPhone? Here is my dilemma. My iPhone quit working and I couldn’t get it fixed as quickly as I needed to. I bought a used iPhone and started using it normally and downloaded the backup from itunes/icloud. There was a large gap in data where the first iPhone didn’t backup when I thought it had. I have SMS data on both phonesnow and I need them for a court hearing. I have since had the other iPhone repaired and working perfectly. Will downloading a backup wipe out the newer SMS data? I am nervous because I can’t lose the information or my case mey be compromised. Any “Real Help” including programs that work to accomplish this would be very helpful. Thank You in advance…

No, direct access to manipulating the phone's filesystem is not permitted for 3rd party apps in the iOS. It can't be done without hacking the phone, which you certainly don't want to do. The messages can be combined and viewed on your computer, but not on a single phone.

Search doesn't work properly in iOS SMS app

For many many years I've used search in the SMS app to find the name of someone I want to text. So I'll type "Jon" in the search area expecting it to pull up all of the my conversations with people named "Jon" in descending order by date.
This has ALWAYS worked before. Since I switched to iPhone 6 it's stopped working about 50% of the time. It' INFURIATING.
At first, I thought the problem was that I hadn't texted these people on the new phone and somehow that mattered. But it doesn't.
I've tried everything.
I'm 99.99% sure this is a glitch in the software.
Can someone offer an explanation/solution???

There is no such thing as private API's working "properly" or not. You cannot use private APIs because it is highly likely they will change. That is the reason they are private.

Duplicate contact on sms app

Since I have Installed iOS6 when I send a sms to a contact his answer arrived from another new contact (with the same name) So in sms app Iam having duplicated contacts.

Hi,
Check in iTunes if your computer is syncing its contacts to your iPhone (not by iCloud).

Why is the SMS app trying to connect to the internet?

Hi all,
I have an iPhone4 on a pre paid sim, and I noticed that my credit/load was being used up even though I had all push notifications etc turned off. I change the APN so that the phone couldn't connect to the internet without me knowing.
So now, each time I open the SMS app I get the message of "Could not activate cellular data network", so for some reason the SMS application is attempting to access the internet each time it is opened, and this is the reason why my credit/load was being used up.
I have NO MMS messages in my inbox so there is no reason that i can see why the app would try to connect to the internet.
Interestingly enough, this used to happen on my old iPhone 3G, however it suddenly just stopped one day.
So my questions is two fold...
1) Why is SMS connecting to the internet?
2) How the **** do i stop it?
Thanks

nick <<<SMS sends/receives data over the cell phone network - it doesn't access the internet. The reason it tries to access the network when you start it is to check for any SMS messages you have and also, I suppose, to establish and validate a connection so that you can send or receive when you need to.>>>
so does the above mean that if someone sends an sms it doesn't come through until you click on the message icon to check for them? i am having problems with delayed sms/mms but find that the backlog all come through sometimes when i have 'woke' the iphone, click on message app or launched an app.
Any thoughts ?
No - what ought to happen is that the SMS message is pushed straight to your phone. If you're in an area of weak service, the SMS messages might not be able to get through straight away and, when that happens, it can sometimes take a long while after you move to an area of good signal for the messages to arrive. I recently spent some months working in a building where my carrier (O2 in the UK) had very poor to non-existent reception. People would SMS me during the day and, even though I came out of the building frequently, I often didn't get the messages on my phone until late evening.
Hope that helps

thank you

No it's not exactly the same, see the links:

Copying legally bought apps from Iphone 3G to Iphone 4

Hi
I'm new to this forum, checked the latest posts but couldn't find any solution.
Is there any possibility to copy or transfer apps from Iphone 3G to Iphone 4? On both Iphone's i have IOS 4.1. I payed a lot for my apps on Iphone 3G, backed up the Iphone in Itunes, but when I loaded the back up to Iphone 4 it only copied the phone numbers and SMS. I don't feel the need to use the apps on my Iphone 3G, because I want to use it as Ipod now, so I guess it's not illegal. Is there any way to do it or I just lost my money and have to buy same apps again?

There is no device limit for the number of iPods, iPads, and iPhones that can be synced with the same iTunes library and iTunes account on the same computer and this includes 3rd party apps. If you have an iPod Touch, an iPad, and an iPhone, you can transfer the same 3rd party apps to all 3 devices. Each device can have its own sync preferences with iTunes with a backup created and maintained for each device which is updated by iTunes automatically as the first step during the iTunes sync process for each device.
All apps on your 3G should be in your iTunes library on your computer. Apps are not included with the iPhone's backup but 3rd party app settings and data created and stored by a 3rd party app is included with the iPhone's backup.
If you have Sync Apps selected under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and this should be selected for a number of reasons, after downloading an app with your iPhone the app will be copied to your iTunes library the first time you sync your iPhone with iTunes after doing so.
If this is not currently selected under the Apps tab for your iPhone 3G sync preferences with iTunes, before selecting this with the 3G connected, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of the iPhone which should transfer/copy all 3rd party apps from the iPhone to your iTunes library. After confirming all apps on the 3G are available in your iTunes library, select Sync Apps and make sure all apps on the iPhone are selected below.
With your iPhone 4 connected to iTunes, select Sync Apps followed by selecting the apps below that you want installed on the iPhone followed by a sync.

TS2755 My SMS app isn't working, help!

My SMS app isn't working, I have the iPhone 5. Every time I go to open the app, it appears that it's going to open, but closes seconds later. I've restarted it a few times, nothing has worked. Help?

Since you've said SMS app, now we known it's Messages app since there's no stock SMS app (it did with the iPhone 3G).
BTW, SMS is a carrier service. Have you contacted them?
If you did try 1 step at a time
1. Try in Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID > Sign out and sign back in.
2. Did you tried Restore from backup using iTunes.
3. If no joy, restore as new
