SMS relay from work iPhone to personal iPhone

8.1 and Yosemite installed. I have two 5S', one for work and one personal. Both phones are registered under my single Apple ID.
I'd like to get SMS relay to send texts from the work phone (silver) to the personal phone (gold), so I can leave one phone home and just deal with one phone. SMS relay is working fine between my phones and my Mac.
When I try to select my personal phone from the "Text Message Forwarding" setting, it says to enter the code that is displaying on the iPhone, but no code displays on either phone.
I have made sure that my email is selected under "You can be reached by iMessage at:" on both phones.
Both phones are on the same Wi-Fi subnet and can definitely see each other, as the Phone handoff functionality seems to work fine as one incoming call makes both of them ring.
Any ideas?

This worked for me!
I have an old iPhone 4S that I use around the farm and at the gym.  I wanted it to connect using continuity services to my iPhone 6+ which has the mobile service plan attached to it (the 4S does not).    I had to turn ON Airplane Mode and then turn on WiFi and Bluetooth.   In the FaceTime settings the "iPhone Cellular Calls" is turned on as well.
I can not make OUTGOING calls on the 4S it says I must re-enable Airplane Mode; however, I can receive calls on the 4S as long as the 6Plus is on the same WiFi network.
Hope this helps.

  • How do i print sms messages from my iphone without a 3rd party app?

    How do I print a complete SMS message from my iphone without using a 3rd party app?

    If you have an AirPrint compatible printer, or you have a print app, then you could take a screenshot of each page of the message and then print them. Otherwise, there is no native solution to print SMS messages on the iPhone.

  • SMS relay not working with non-iMessage users?

    One of the features I'm most looking forward to in Yosemite is the ability to text people without iPhones. I attempted to do this tonight, but the message failed to send and the person's name was in red. I got the standard "message failed" note, like I get on my iPhone when a message doesn't go through, but I thought it should have gone through just fine.
    More info: the contact is in red, not blue or green, and when I type the phone number I get the "this contact is not registered with iMessage" error message. Of course it's not - the contact is not an Apple user!
    My iPhone is an iPhone 6 running iOS 8.0.2 and my Mac is running Yosemite 10.10.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks!

    I am fortunate to report that it is, in fact, working for me, as evidenced by the fact that I sent and received an SMS to and from an Android user. There was a bit of a hiccup when I enabled SMS relay on my iPhone, as the code which was required popped up and then canceled itself. Once I canceled the entire process, and re-linked the two (Macbook Air and iPhone 6) the pairing and relay went off without a hitch.
    Try this: start from the phone, then the iMac. Only input the code in Messages on your iMac after the link is established. I have a feeling it might not truly be synced yet.

  • SMS relay only works with one iMac or Macbook Pro, but not both?

    I recently got a new iMac (5K). I already own a Macbook Pro 13" (bought in 2013). When I got the new iMac, I wanted to transfer all my data from my Macbook onto the new iMac, so I used the most recent time machine back-up from my Macbook to install onto the new iMac. No issues there. I also own an iphone 5s and ipad mini (1st generation), all with the most recent software updates. Approximately 1 week ago, SMS relay stopped working between my iMac and my iphone. I could type an SMS text message on my iMac, send it, and although it would transmit to the recipient, it would say "not delivered" on my iMac (it would show up as delivered successfully on my iphone). Consequently any SMS messages received would not show up on my iMac. I use the same login for my macbook pro and my iMac and for some reason my iphone stopped listing my iMac as one of the devices for SMS relay. I was on-line with Apple support for 3+ hours yesterday trying to figure out why this wasn't working. I did an SMC reset which temporarily fixed the problem, but as soon as I tried to use SMS relay with both the macbook pro and the iMac, the phone would only recognize one of them and ultimately always choose the macbook pro.
    iMessage chats still sync just fine but the SMS chats do not any more. I was wondering if anyone else had the same issue, and if they did, are there any fixes?
    Thanks,
    Jon

    Both the mini-displayport plugs and TB plugs are physically compatible which is why you can plug it in.   But if the iMac has a mini-displayport for video it won't work with the TB display.
    Check your System Profile to see if it tells you whether you have a TB port.  And if there is no information about that post here or look up for yourself the kind of ports for that model of iMac.  System Profiler will give yo that information (click Hardware on the left).  From the model information it can be definitively determined whether that imac supports TB.
    Also, so long as the Displays system preferences is not showing an Arrangement tab then it is not detecting the second display.

  • Getting SMS relay to work with 2 macs

    Hey guys,
    So I have an iMac (late 2013 running OS 10.10.1) and a Macbook Air. (mid 2013 running OS 10.10.1) I've just noticed that SMS relay (from iPhone 6 running 8.1.1) only wants to work with one of the computers at a time, and on top of that, the devices listed under Text Message Forwarding in settings will have the wrong name.
    To try and explain, if I have my iMac set up for SMS relay then in my device options for forwarding I'll have
    Quinn's iMac
    Quinn's iPad
    Nick's Mac
    All my devices should be Quinn’s X.  However Nick is my first name.
    Whereas if I do some jiggery-pokery (signing in and out of iCloud, turn iMessages on and off etc) and set up the MBA first I get this
    Quinn's Macbook Air
    Quinn's iPad
    Nick's Mac
    So the correct name for MBA is recognise now, but not the iMac.
    It refuses to acknowledge both computers at the same time. The wrong name is always the same and it just switches about depending which computer I set up forwarding on first. And if I try and activate it using the wrong name, nothing happens.
    A couple of points which may help to explain this.
    The wrong name is my first name and so it's what the device name was originally called when set up, but I change that straight away to just Quinn’s X.
    I set up my iMac from a Time Machine back up of my MBA
    I think possibly somewhere between the 2 is where it's getting confused. That a) the device names aren't the pre-assigned ones and b) they are set up from the same settings initially.
    So my question is this. Has anyone had this problem, and how did they resolve it?
    I fear I may have to wipe one of the computers and start over, probably MBA as it’s my secondary computer. Try and rid my settings of what ever it being used to identify both computers. Pain in the arse to do that and would rather not have to so if anyone else has any suggestions let me know
    As I said earlier, I've done all the off/on sign out/sign in business with all the devices multiple times and that's doing nothing.  Also, I have just noticed, last thing I did was to configure my iMac to be the one to receive SMS relay. Now I’m out of the house with my MBA, my iPhone is showing that as being the computer that is set up and a quick test confirms this.
    Man I’m so confused.
    Cheers

    I have this exact problem now.  I can only "pair" my imessage to 1st macbook and 1 iPad.  iMessage won't recognize nor sync messages on the second macbook.  When I open the imessages screen on the 2nd MBP, the text bubbles are all green indicating I am sending via SMS and not even sending via iMessage (which has blue text bubbles).
    This is really a problem because I need 2 mac's, one for home media use and 1 on the road for work use and I love using iMessage.
    Help...

  • SMS relay on 2nd iPhone without Sim-Card?

    hello guys i have a iPhone 5s that i use as my main device it has a sim. i use SMS relay a bit now on my macs or iPad now i was wondering if it is possible to get sms relay and calls to work on a second iPhone without a sim installed if i allow it to access sms relay on my main iPhone it will only receive texts and I'm guessing calls too.
    also if i did get a sim for that phone would it send responses via that sim number or my main phones number?
    thanks, luke

  • Can't receive SMS texts from non-iPhone users

    My phone suddenly stopped letting me receive texts from non iPhone users yesterday. Since then, I have powered my phone on and off, reset the network, and power cycle. My mother has been in the hospital and I have to be here with her all day. I have no time to go to a verizon store. I've only had the phone a week and I'm really disappointed with this. Seeing my mom is in the hospital, I really need this to be working, but I'd don't even know of something else to try.

        Ktoole, I can understand how frustrating this could be. How long has this been an issue? Have you ever been able to receive texts from non-iPhone users? Do you have iMessage on or off? Have you tried to restore the phone through iTunes?

  • SMS Relay stopped working

    Ever since upgrading to iOS 8.1, I've been using SMS relay, no problem with my iMac. Today not so much. When I try to message someone without an iCloud account, I get an error that says they are not registered with iMessage.
    Both devices are on the same wireless connection. Text Message Forwarding is turned on on the iPhone and it is paired with my computer. I have rebooted both devices and logged out and back into iCloud on both devices.
    Very frustrating!

    In Yosemite, deleting the cache from Macintosh HD/Library/Cache and rebooting fixed the problem.

  • Can't receive SMS messages from Verizon Iphone 6 user

    I have had an iphone 6+ since it came out.  I've had my imessages turned off for several months because it was eating up so much data (all of a sudden...never an issue with my 4s before my upgrade.).  Just in the last day, I've noticed I have not been able to receive message from my husband, who also has an iphone 6+ wtih Verizon.  I've never had an issue with receiving his messages before yesterday when they just stopped.  It shows on his phone that it was sent via SMS on his phone, but nothing shows on mine.  I called other family members with iphones and Verizon as well and they have said they have sent me messages as well with no response from me, but I never received them.  What's the deal?
    1. All are iphone users
    2. All are on Verizon's network
    3. Sporatic timing of non-retreival of messages
    4. iMessages work, but I do not want to use them as it has already caused me to up my data plan twice since upgrading to a new phone.
    5. I've restarted my phone several times with no improvement

    Hi Yosef,
    I had to delete every one of my apps that I transferred over from my 4s and I was still going over data.  I used all the same apps from my 4s and in the same manner and frequency. (I tracked my data useage for 2 years and i never went over 2gb of data).   I turned cell data off on EVERYTHING except for facebook which I check occationally and google maps.  Once I turned imessages off, I wasn't getting overages.  (but I had to increase my plan twice to insure that).  Now I can't use the apps I used to have and can't use them except on wifi without going over my data allowance within a few days of my plan starting each month.
    I've messaged some family members and they indicated that their messages to me were automatically changing to imessage, though i have had it shut off since October.  I did restart my phone yesterday, but changed no settings, which is when I suddenly couldn't recieve messages anymore.  All the previous threads were in SMS.  Why would it change to imessage within an SMS thread just from a phone restart?

  • My contacts arent recieving any SMS messeges from my iphone

    when i recieve a text from someone i of course text them back but they are not getting it. it shows it as sending but they arent getting it. they are getting everyone elses text but mine. anyone else having this issue?

    1) how long ago did you get your iPhone? If you ported over a number from another network, it can take up to 72 hours for all your data features to be released one by one from the other network until they finally work with ATT.
    2) If you HAVE had your phone for awhile, then call ATT and ask them to reset your SMS, there is nothing you can do from your end, they have to use their computers to do it from their end.

  • Is it possible to NOT get texts (SMS) sent from my iPhone to all my devices

    I haven't yet set up iCloud and want to know if there is a choice about what gets pushed to all other devices. I want everything except text messages from iPhone sent to my other devices. Is this possible?

    SMS messages are not pushed to other devices.
    iMessages (if you have it turned on) will be pushed.

  • Is it possible to transfer sms conversations from one iphone to another?

    Hey Guys,
    I accidentally cleared the sms conversation between my girlfriend and I on her iphone, she doesn't use itunes so I cant just restore it from her last sync. I still have the conversation on my iphone tho, is there any way I can transfer it from my phone to hers. Any help would be great
    Cheers.

    I doubt it.
    You could investigate PhoneView or MobileSyncBrowser (or maybe TouchCopy), which could let you get the SMS messages as a text file and then she could save it on her computer. I'm guessing it has sentimental value?
    But I don't think there is any feasible way to get it onto her phone. Oh wait, you could also take screenshots of the conversation and then email them from your camera roll to her. Probably easiest.
