Why do some SMS messages that I send to friends appear on my husbands iPhone? I previously sent them a message from my iPad.....

Why do SMS messgaes appear on my husbands iPhone, that I send to friends that I have previously sent messages from my iPad?
We have no pc, just iPad 2 and iPhones and the magical cloud!,
Cheers

Are you sharing an Apple ID?
Go to Settings>Messages>Send and receive and unselect his phone number from your iPhone and yours from his.
Also make sure that each of the phones are sending from their own numbers

I have iPad 2 with wifi and no 3G. I want to use iMessage to talk to a friend in Russia from here in the UK. For some reason I can't send messages to her. Please try to make your answers basic and easy to follow as I'm not any good with technology :)

Some how do not enter sign was added beside contact, now all messages previously received messages are gone and no new messages from this sender will appear.

I have been receiving messages from this sender fine and then all of a sudden for some reason there was a do not enter sign beside her name. I didn't know how or why it got there, some button got bumped or the mouse, and I didn't know how to take it off so I just left it. Since then, thunderbird has been reopened and all messages that I had received have disappeared and no new messages from this sender appear even though I know she has sent them to me. I have checked into filters and I have none set so it is not that. I can't figure out how the do not enter sign got beside the contact, but I'm sure it's the reason for my problems and I don't know how to fix it. Thanks

My phone won't send outgoing mail. Won't send some text messages and now when it's not on wireless and only 3g the internet won't load. Help!

These are ongoing problems. I really want to go back to my android. This moring the problem was sending outgoing mail. I have done a restart. I have cleared my cookies. Some text messages I have to send twice to non-apple phones. When I'm not on wireless and I'm on 3g there is no point in even trying the internet. Very disappointed in this phone.

if your having issue with your 3G service, then you should contact your cell phone provider as they handle cellular networks.
in the mean time you can try a reset, hold down the home/power button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for you phone to boot back up.

Cannot send or receive some text messages

I just got the iphone 4s, and am having problems sending and receiving some text messages, it is saying "Message Send Failure"

Same problem persists also here. Have crosschecked with friend, all same settings, have deleted the contacted, created again, still that number does not receive my SMS (no question on iMessage). Can not even reply her message. This problem persists with few numbers, nothing common, different phones, different countries, different operators. All others, with different operators, in different coutries receive my messages. Even other people can send their SMS to her.

Droid Razr Maxx HD is refusing to send text messages

I have had my phone for about a year now, and it has had a few glitches here and there being Android. But recently, it has just been refusing to send text messages. It just sits there and spins for hours until I delete the message, and never sends. I have tried turning off every data setting (Putting it on airplane mode, turning GPS off, turning data off) and restarting the phone several times and it has not helped. Any ideas?

There was an update recently. That could be why you're having problems.
Go to your Play store and make sure your apps are all up to date. Even apps installed that you don't use. Either uninstall it or update it.
Make sure mobile data is on and you don't have the phone set to block usage at a certain point. Droids can do that. Check your wifi connection as well.
Remove your SIM card for 5 minutes. Restart your phone. Replace the SIM card. To refresh your phone on the network.
Did you recently download an app that requested access to read/write to your SMS?
Go to App Manager. Check for running apps. Make sure only your default text Messaging app is running. Kit Kat only allows for one app to have permissions to write to sms. If multiple apps that want access are running you will not be able to send sms. Check for ALL text messaging apps on your phone. Look for any app that wants permission to read/ write your text messages and turn them off. All except the one app you use.

Delivery not authorized, message refused

Hi
I got one issue some domain can't send email to us getting this message
" Requested #571 Delivery not authorized, message refused ##"
Actually nothing issue before I reused the exchange certificate at my exchange server.
Here is how do I issue the certificate
get-exchangecertificate
copy all thumbprint normally 4.
get-exchangecertificate -thumbprint (paste thumbprint) |new-exchangecertificate
I did it for all thumbprint and finally remove old
get-exchangecertificate -thumbprint (paste thumbprint) |remove-exchangecertificate
And I do not use any 3rd-party anti-spam. BTW, I am not that experience user for those exchange
administration however I have fixed it.
Windows Server 2003 R2, Exchange Server 2007
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Soe,
Did you look through the NDR completely and did you see the NDR was generated from which server ?
Was the NDR generated from our server or its remote server ?
Did you look through the receive connector protocol logs and look for any errors generated in protocol logs ?
Can you please have a look at the message tracking logs as well to see if we get any info
Post your comments after having look at these things so that we will get a clear idea of the problem
Please mark as helpful if you find my contribution useful or as an answer if it does answer your question.That will encourage me - and others - to take time out to help you.

Suit refuses to send SMS to a "invalid recipient"

Sometimes the PC Suit for my Nokia 95 *MB refuses to send text messages to some numbers, for example a number in Israel. The Eerror message says "Recipient (number" is not valid. Can not send message." Who knows what is going on??? The number IS VALID! I called it and it works.

A workaround:
You can export the contacts as a .csv file and manually copy->replace the invalid character->insert a column as the valid numbers. Then you can import the .csv file into pc suite. When sending SMS, you can choose the "valid" number.
Still quite a lot numbers, but with a decent text editor, it's much easier than editing contacts one by one.
What's the law of the jungle?

Requested action not taken: message refused (in reply to end of DATA comman

Hello!
When trying to send an email to one particular domain (that I know of) the email is being rejected from the recipient mail server and my mail logs are showing this error:
said: 550 5.7.1 Requested action not taken: message refused (in reply to end of DATA command))
Can anyone tell me where to start looking?
(I have full logs of the postifx transaction within my mail server).
regan.

There's a myriad of reasons why the remote mail server may refuse your message. Since it's happening so quickly I'd bet on incorrect reverse DNS for your server, but it could also be an number of anti-spam filters that are running.
Do you have valid, working DNS for your server? in other words if you lookup your server's public IP address do you get the same hostname that the server thinks it is?
For example:
Good: nslookup mail.domain.com -> 12.34.56.78; nslookup 12.34.56.78 -> mail.domain.com
Bad: nslookup mail.domain.com -> 12.34.56.78; nslookup 12.34.56.78 -> some.hostname.your.isp.net
The latter is almost guaranteed to get your mail blocked at most of the big ISPs.

All of a sudden I can't send or receive messages on iPad. Iphone is working fine. It gives me "message failed to send" and is green instead of blue. The only thing I have done differently is turn iCloud on in my iPhone.

cant receive or send messages on my iPad. Keep getting "message failed to send" and it is green instead of blue. This happened after I turned on iCloud on my iPhone. Would that have anything to do with this problem? It's like its not sincing to my phone but I can send & receive emails ok.

iOS 7.1.2, huh? It MAY be having some trouble with the iOS 8.x devices and latest iCloud features. Although it meets the minimum system requirements, it does not meet the recommended ones - System requirements for iCloud - Apple Support
You should try Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support - this is generally the first step in troubleshooting, all devices - for all time
Message Colors
Blue is iMessage (Apple service)
Green is SMS (Carrier service)
What happens when you use your iPad similarly? (what iPad model & iOS version)
As a last resort*, Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support - *this document tells that all your data will be lost but provides steps to back-up (Before section) then restore your data (Restore section #4)

For some reason when my daughter sends a text to someone else I get it and vice versa. Also, when I send a text to her the text comes to me as well. How do I stop this from happening?

For some reason when my daughter sends a text to someone else I get it and vice versa. Also, when I send a text to her the text comes to me as well. How do I stop this from happening?

This is iMessages, not an SMS/MMS, and this means the same Apple ID is registered for iMessage on each iPhone.
You or your daughter need to activate your own Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime. The same Apple ID can continue to be shared for iTunes store downloads - for music and apps.
On the iPhone, go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Select the Apple ID at the top and sign out. Sign in with the new Apple ID.
Make sure the same email address is not available below You can be reached by iMessage at on each iPhone.

Messages failure to send but still goes through

I hope someone can help. This is a tough subject to search for since it's similar to other known issues but somewhat different as best i've found.
A few days ago i started getting 'messaged failed to send' notifications from my phone after sending an imessage. That has happened before, but this time the message was also delivered (and not via text).
The problem persists across my macbook (10.8.5) and my ipad. Each time the message shows as 'delivered' and then a failure notice or icon appears. Sometimes after i've received a response from the person regarding the message i just sent.
It's somewhat annoying because it causes my phone to buzz each time i'm warned, and doesn't inspire confidence because at some point a message will fail.
I've tried restarting all my devices and i've also tried turning messages off and on from my phone and with no luck.
Any other ideas of cause or solution?
Thanks

Since upgrading to iOS7 some text messages are not being sent, iMessage on my Ipad and MacBook doesn't have my phone number registered and my reminder colour on my Iphone keeps changing ... among other things

Since upgrading to iOS7 some text messages are not being sent on my iPhone 5, iMessage on my Ipads and MacBook doesn't have my phone number registered and my reminder colour on my Iphone keeps changing ... among other things. Any suggestions to fix these faults?

Make sure People Sending you via iMessage are sending their messages on your PHONE number not on your EMAIL addresses . My sister had the same problem, thats how i managed to solve it!
