Text messages wont send but imessage will

I always have my data off so my imessage runs off wifi, when im speaking to someone on imessage and i turn my wifi off my text messages wont come through but when i turn the wifi on my messages come through but on imessage, why is it doing this? Hope you can help

Parts of what you're saying don't make sense to me, but I'll address what I think you are saying.
First, whether you have your data on or off doesn't matter for SMS text messages, as they do not use cellular data.
iMessages rely on having the WiFi on. So it makes sense that you do not get them when WiFi is off.
It sounds like you are saying you never get SMS text messages. So that would be a cellular carrier issue - make sure you are set up for SMS texting with them.

Text messages wont send - 'Request facility not subscribed'

Hey guys...
Any idea what 'Request facility not subscribed' means as its not letting me send texts. I've turned my phone off and on again, still nothing. I've taken the battery out for about 15-20 seconds and still nothing
Anyone got any fixes?

do you have the text service blocked with the provider?

I only have access to wifi, imessage started defaulting to green text message instead of blue imessage, thus they fail to send, I have turned off SMS and restarted the phone and the problem gotinues. Any suggestions?

iPads only support iMessage. You cannot send SMS with any of the native iOS functionality on it. There may be some apps in the app store that will, and certainly several messaging platforms (but read the descriptions carefully).

I was sending text messages this morning but all of a sudden I stopped receiving them. I have found out that I can send them but can't receive them. Can anyone help me?

I was sending text messages this morning but all of a sudden I stopped receiving them. I have found out that I can send them but can't receive them on my mac book or on my wifes mac book, but can receive my messages on the iphone!!! Can anyone help me?

If you're referring to iMessages, then the problem is that Apple is having server issues. If the problems your having are with standard SMS, post back with further details.

I send out about 40 text messages every week but when a person responds to me it goes to everyone else I sent message to why?

I send out about 40 text messages every week but when someone responds to me it goes to everyone else that I sent message to I never had this problem sending out group text before I got Iphone I called Verizon but they were not very helpful. How do I fix this very frustrating for my friends and me.

Tomatoe, I've had this issue with my device and understand how frustrating it is when the message that is meant for you is seen by others. YOU have the option to turn your group texting off but the person sending the message reply back to you will need to turn their group texting off so that it does not go to everyone. I will list the steps to turn your group texting off but I recommend having the person who is sending you a reply to turn their off.
1) Click Settings
2) Click Messaging
3) Slide the Bar from on/off for Group Texting
Please le me know if you have any further questions or concerns.

When I send a text, it goes through as a "text message" instead of an "imessage" and the person I am texting has an iPhone. what could be the cause of this problem?

It's not enough for the other person to just have an iPhone. They must be on iOS 5, have iMessage enabled and connected to the Internet.

The first thing you should do is contact your carrier and make sure that your account is properly provisioned to send text messages.

Text messages not sending

Hey,
A few weeks ago i bought some skype credit to text my girlfriend in Peru, from the UK (england). For the first week or so it worked fine, she would recieve the message very quickly, and the price was very reasonable. No problems.
But, suddenly it changed: i will send a message to the same number, which is correct, and the message will attempt to send, but it will fail, with the advice to check number coming up. I am at a loss; the number is correct, we used it for a week with no problems, she is recieveing texts from people (granted, in Peru) ok, and i can call her using my home phone. What is going on?
Possibly a related problem is that my mobile cannot text her either using normal credit. Anyone got any ideas?

I can make calls to mobiles but all of sudden text messages I send do not get thru

I have been with Skype for a couple of years now and the principal use a make of Skype is to send text messages to mobile phones, because I can use my keyboard to type messages. This problem has only occurred during the last two weeks
* One and half hours later and referral to some one who can help*

I'm so sorry but in cases such as this, there is nothing we can do as the problem is not on our end. Please note that the SMS travels from us to the phone's provider and finally to the phone itself. If the providers reports to us that the SMS was sent, then the status of the SMS in Skype is delivered.

Hi Team,
MSN - 0429394904
I don't believe there is anything that we can do for this particular issue, customer is more looking for clarification to take back to Skype. But he is unable to receive Skype SMS messages, can receive standard SMS without any issue.
Skype has claimed that they are receiving the delivery confirmation message that the message has been received but nothing is being received to the mobile. I have confirmed with customer that other people that have been sent a Skype SMS are unable to receive the messages also, so is likely an issue with the Skype service.
Would you have any further feedback?
Example SMS - Sent via Skype on Monday 6pm.
Kind Regards,

Good morning Matthew,
We have added SMS and also GPRS/Data on the customer's service. Skype has nothing to do with us and we in no way support SMS travelling over a third party platform.
***If the customer is not receiving the messages, he will need to follow up further with Skype.***
Thankyou

Randomly, text messages I send with my new iPhone 4S are delivered as all squares instead of text. Any idea how to fix this issue?

Randomly, text messages I send with my new iPhone 4S are delivered to the recipients as all squares instead of regular characters. I have heard other people complain about this too. Any idea how to stop it or why it is happening? Hardware issue?

There are a lot of posts in the forums today with people having problems with iMessage. There was also a published outage yesterday, so it's possible there are still some issues that may be impacting you both.
I would just wait it out - I'm sure it will be sorted out soon.

Droid X, review lengthy text message before sending?

When composing a long text message I find it very difficult to review the entire message before sending it. Is there a way to do this that is not obvious? I have tried scrolling line by line and I end up changing words unintentionally. Holding your finger over the text pops out a magnifying glass, but even that is not very useful.

Unfortunately there is not an option within the device to change to make viewing your text messages any easier. You will have to scroll through the message.
Hope this helps!

HT4847 My sons iPhone is under my apple id. He completed a software update earlier and now receives my text messages I send and receive- how do I disable this feature??

My sons iPhone is under my apple id. He completed a software update earlier and now receives my text messages I send and receive- how do I disable this feature??

This happens when you both use the same Apple ID for iMessage. You can continue to share the same ID for pruchasing from the iTunes & App stores, but you should be using a different ID for iMessage. To fix this you have two choices:
On one of the phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID (so you are both using a different ID for iMessage); or
On both phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and uncheck the email address(es) shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at". Also uncheck anyone else's phone number, if present.

Upgrading my Iphone 4 I am not able to access my text messages or send texts.

Hi Everyone:
Since the last 9 days after upgrading my Iphone 4 I am not able to access my text messages or send texts. I have attempted to delete the "68" messages however, once deleted for a period 2-3 seconds. The deleted messages reappears! I have reset. restored. did back-ups! Nothing has altered this problem. Has anyone else experienced this? Please help? Thanks :-)

Thanks Diesel:
But I have been back and forth with my carrier and they are adament that this is not their issue but Apple's..... I do appreciate your reply!

I upgraded my iphone to 5.0.1 and ever since, it has decided to delete old text messages. Only with one contact though, not everybody. So for every new text message I send this person, an old one gets removed. Why? I don't want this to happen.

Connect the phone directly to the computer, not a hub.
Disconnect all other USB devices except keyboard and mouse.
Disable your firewall
Disable your antivirus
In iTunes if it recognizes the phone click "Restore"
If it doesn't recognize the phone:
Disconnect the phone from the phone end, leave the USB cable plugged into the computer
Hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons until the screen turns black, excactly 10 seconds, then release the SLEEP but continue holding the HOME (If an Apple logo appears you have held SLEEP too long; do it over)
While holding HOME connect the cable to the phone
As soon as iTunes recognizes the phone release the HOME button and it should restore.
If neither procedure works note the exact error message and post it.
