Text message has blue background?

Hello. Normally the text messages I send have a green background and the ones I receive have a beige background. Today, however, without warning, the ones I send have a blue background. What would have caused that?
Thanks.

Thanks for the info. So, if I understand this carefully, whenever I send a message from my iPhone 5 which has IOS6 to someone else who has an iPhone 5 with IOS6, the message travels via Apple's network rather than via the phone network. If I send to someone who does not use IOS6 it travels as an SMS over the phone network. Is that the gist of it? Thanks.

  • Should my text messages be blue instead of green after the iOS 5 update?

    Should my text messages be blue instead of green after the iOS 5.0 update on my iPhone 4?

    Blue messages are iMessages. Dont worry they work pretty much the same as txts
    Instead of being sent via the sms service through your operator they're sent either as cellular data or wifi if you have it. The idea being that it functions in much the same way as BBM does on a Blackberry.
    You can IIRC turn them off.
    iOS 5 automatically determines if the intended recipient is using iOS5, and if they are, automatically sends the message as an iMessage rather than a txt. The colour change is designed to let you know whats what.

  • Is there any way to tell to whom a group text message has actually been delivered.

    How can you tell to whom a group text message has actually been delivered?

    I use Verizon's Messages+ app; when I send a group text, then long press the message, I get a menu and one of the selections is Message info.  That will show me the contacts I sent the message to.  It doesn't always tell me who got it though - for example, I recently sent a group message to my four kids.  The status shows:
    Child 1 - Delivered (On Verizon, separate plan/account)
    Child 2 - Delivered (On my More Everything plan)
    Child 3 - Delivered (On AT & T)
    Child 4 - Sent (On T-Mobile)
    I got replies from Child 1, 3, 4 - and all the replies all were sent to all in the group.  So I know Child 4 got the message and replied to the group, even though it doesn't say delivered.
    I guess if it says "Sent" or "Delivered" you can assume it was delivered to the recipients phone.  If it did not get sent, it will say it failed to send or something.  Whether the recipient has READ it or not can't be determined, unless, of course, they reply. In that case you know they got it and read it. 

  • How to tell if a text message has been sent to multiple recipients

    I was wondering if there is any way to tell if a text message you recieve has also been forwarded to other people from the sender and if you are but one of many to receive the same message. A friend of mine says she can do it on her phone-which is not an iPhone-by looking under either "properties" or "more", neither of which I have seen on my iPhone. Sometimes you just want to know a text was sent to only you...

    No, you cannot do that on the iPhone.
    You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.

  • I live in Canada and I just got a Ford focus with my ford touch.  I want to know if the iphone is available with text message through blue tooth?

    I would like to know if the iphone has the ability to hear text messages via bluetooth?

    Have you checked Ford's website if this is supported, or asked the dealership where the auto was purchased? Anything included with the auto manual?

  • Acrobat 9 Form Creation: Drop Down List Has Blue Background

    I am creating a form using Acrobat 9 on Windows Vista Pro. I have several drop down list fields. These fields have a dark blue background that is visible even when the pdf is printed. I have tried changing field's Appearance property to "No fill color", but this has no effect whatsoever. Turning off "Highlight Fields" also has no effect.
    I've found a couple of questions on forums using Google about this matter, but no answers.
    Is there any way to turn off this blue background?
    Thanks in advance.
    Pat Dumond

    Hi Bruce,
    This forum is specific to Designer, which comes with Acrobat Pro 9. It will be easier to create this type of functionality in Designer (compared to achieving it in Acrobat).
    Designer creates XFA Forms, which are wrapped in a PDF. The user doesn't see any difference: eg they see a PDF which will open in Acrobat/Reader. However for user with Reader to be able to save the data they input, the form must be reader Enabled. This is a topic in itself and there are many discussions on the forums - just try a quick search.
    Now to the question...
    Yes, you can achieve this with some script. Basically you would need script in the preOpen event of the Business sub-category, which would look back at the selection in the Business category. Based on this value, the script would populate the sub-category with appropriate items.
    There is an example here: http://assure.ly/jcTahK.
    Hope that helps,
    Niall

    So switch those phones if that is so important to you. At least the iPhone protects the privacy of the recipient. It is up to the recipient to activate message receipts on their part.

  • When I send a text message I do not get any confirmathat it has been delivered.  Is there a way of getting an automated confiramtion of deleivery as I'm used to having this on a previous phone, and need to know that my texts have been delivered.

    When I send a text message I do not get any confirmation that it has been delivered.  Is there any way of getting an automated message confirmation delivery and time?  I was used to this with my old phone and need to know that my text message has been delivered to the recipient's phone, and when.

    Thanks.  So there's no means of knowing whether a text message has been delivered, not to mention time of delivery.  Perhaps I've gone for the wrong phone.  It might do a lot but seems to miss out on some basics.

  • IPhone has just randomly erased all of my texts messages,can I get them back?Ask your question.

    iPhone had just randomly erased all of my texts,can I get these back?

    You are correct, they do keep a record of texts sent and received and subscribers can access this information themselves using their online account.
    They do do keep the content of text messages at all just like they do not keep copies of phone conversations. If the text message is deleted from the sending and receiving instrument it is gone. Getting a court order for the content of text messages from a provider would be a worthless endeavor as it is well known that information is not available.
    If a text message has not been successfully delivered the system will continue to try to send it by accessing the senders device and resending the message; you are right they are not from cosmic radiation or echoes from the moon, they are from the device that sent the message.

  • Text messages different colors?

    The text messages I send are different colors. Some of their background are blue and some are green. Why is that?

    cbracken428 wrote:
    So my sent text message is blue, does that mean the person didn't receive it? And some of the messages I have sent to this person are green?
    Blue means the message was sent as an iMessage, using data, not your SMS allowance. Green means it was sent as a regular SMS. It also means that at the time you sent it, one or both of you didn't have a data connection.
    For further information, take a look at the manual.

  • Calendar, Contact, Text message issue after upgrdading to 10.2.0.415

    Dear BB expert,
    During using after upgrading to os 10.2.0.415 (1767), I've met some following issues, they make me uncomfortable, and I think everyone like me. Please help to resolve or inform to Blackberry in order to fix in next release.
    1. Calendar:
    1.1. Calendar always chooses BBLink as default:
        When I create an event (by: open Calendar app, pick a day and add an event), app always choose BBLink as default, while I want event is Home (Local Calendar), though I had gone into manage and chosen ‘Home (Local Calendar)' before. I always must choose again. Please help to resolve.
    1.2. There are some/a lot of events that I've added before but current I don't remember them, so I must go through each month to look for, this make me inflexible. I want Calendar app has a menu called 'All entry' that When I pick it all events will show as a list. As you see, this thing will be very comfortable.
    2. Contact:
    2.1. Search field does not show x (clear) when I do not focus there, mean that, When I enter text into search field, press Enter, then pick a contact, after that I go back, text box of search field will not show (x), I must pick it, then (x) icon will be visible. This make me inflexible, uncomfortable, I want search field always show (x). It seems previous os had this thing.
    2.2. I don't understand why facebook contact always show in Contact app, though I set it off in Settings, I set again again again, and then everything does not change, It is still showed in Contact, just it. I have Google contact, BBM, BBLink, and they are in off setting. There is only Facebook contact that is always showed.
    2.3. How to create group contact in Contact app, this function is a basic function in old device, sometime I send message to a group of contact, how to do it. I want it appears in next release.
    3. Message:
    As you known, Text message has issue when conversation becomes long (a lot of message in conversation). When I pick a contact in Text message, some time, it is hang/freeze, no message is showed, cannot send new message,…Please fix issue in next release.
    Please help to resolve or inform Blackberry,
    Thank you very much,
    Look forward to hearing from you.

    Thanks to both of you for your helpful insights. Oracle Support confirms that the OCR has been corrupted. We can start the db using SQL*Plus, but SRVCTL will not start the db. I did a SRVCTL CONFIG and noticed that the cluster database was not listed, so I tried a SRVCTL ADD DATABASE. That failed, too.
    We are going to try to restore the OCR from an OCR backup prior to the upgrade. Oracle Support, after analyzing our logs and other configuration data, recommeded Metalink note 371378.1 as a guide to restoring the OCR backup. Other Metalink notes I found in my research, that were helpful, are 259301.1, 275919.1 and 330358.1.
    Again, thank you for your insights and suggestions. I will update this thread after we restore the OCR tonight from backup.

  • Text messages don't always send; I get a red flag message. How can I make them re-send automatically?

    This drives me nuts: Occassionally, but not often, I will send a text message and it does not go through. This happens both when I am using iMessage or regular text messages. It gets me into a lot of trouble: I assume my text message has gone through, then check my phone half an hour later and realize the message has not been sent. I don't even get a vibration or a notice that it hasn't sent; it's only when I check my messages that I see the red flag but my undelivered message.
    How can I get the iPhone to just automatically keep trying to re-send these messages until it goes through, or at the very least to give me a notification buzz when the message doesn't go through so I know to manually re-send it myself?

    At this time that option does not exist. The only workaround that I can think of is to watch and make sure the text sends before closing the app.
