Text messaging in other languages

Seems like 3G does not support text messaging in Korean. Messages sent or received in Korean appears as blank or question marks. Is there going to be a firmware update in the future that will allow text messaging in foreign languages?

Well, it's a bit complicated, so please bear with me here!
1. An American in the Seattle area whose Window$ PC just got upgraded so that Chinese will display on her computer - not that she can read it - got the Chinese characters from my iPhone, but the European accented letters (é, ê, è, ü etc.) as well as... quotation marks showed up as blank boxes in her reply when I read it on my iPhone. But when I read her reply in *Apple Mail*, each of those showed up as a box with a little cauldron(?) in it.
2. A French Window$ PC / Outlook user in Paris got the same blank boxes when I read his reply on my iPhone, but when read in Entourage on my Mac, they also came through with those little cauldron(?) boxes.
3. A (traditional) Chinese Window$ PC / Outlook Express user in Taiwan got all the foreign accented characters, quotation marks and the Chinese characters, whether I read his reply on my iPhone, in Apple Mail or in Entourage, even though the é went through as if borrowed from a different font.
Any ideas???

I can call out but all incoming calls are going directly to VM with no signal that I missed a call or have VM. I can send/receive text messages from other iPhone/iPad/iTouch users, I am assuming this is really "iMessage." Is it apple software?

I have spent hours on the phone with Apple and AT&T. I went thought reset, on/off, etc, etc with both companies to no avail. Each company pointed fingers at the other....as being the source of the problem.
Problems: Suddenly ALL incoming calls were going directly to VM with no signal I missed calls and/or had VM. I was also unable to receive all Text Messages...Oddly, I could send text messages to anyone (even non-apple users but I could not receive their responses)........then I when I got home I started receiving text messages from other apples users ONLY. I assume now - iMessage kicked in and I could text (send/receive) other iPhone/iPad/iTouch users ONLY. ....yes, I could still (send) text messages to my husband's blackberry (he received my messages fine) but my phone would NOT receive his text respones.
Finally, I googled the problem and found this community where other people have had the exact same problems! One person said he "turned off 3 G" which was the solution for him....so I did the same and VIOLA! My problem solved! Nevermind the fact that I pay for 3G and cannot use it....so here's my question, if 3G is the problem on my phone is this an APPLE issue or a NETWORK problem? Do I purchase a new phone and slip in my same SIM card and hope the same does not occur or do I get a whole new SIM card and phone? What is the long term resolution to this problem?
I am happy however to find that my problem is NOT an isolated incident and wish Apple or AT&T had told me this is not so uncommon because I thought (based on the baffled response from Apple) that this has never occurred before. Where is Steve Jobs when we need him?

It pains me to hear about your experience with the Home Phone Connect. This device usually works seamlessly and is a great alternative to a landline phone. It sounds like we've done our fair share of work on your account here. I'm going to go ahead and send you a Private Message so that we can access your account and review any open tickets for you.

How to display Forms messages in other language?

Hi Folks
I have installed Forms and Reports Services 10g (9.0.4.0) in a Linux RHAS3 box
and deploy my applications with IE, the messages are in English (e.g.
frm-40100: At first record) now I want to change to Spanish.
I try to modify the default.env, with the follow variables:
NLS_LANG=SPANISH_SPAIN.WE8ISO8859P1
NLS_LANG=LATIN AMERICAN SPANISH.WE8ISO8859P1
and restart the OC4J_BI_FORMS component, but the message don't change to
Spanish.
Please, could you say me in which file I have to change the NLS_LANG? and which .msb file I need to display the messages in other language?
Thanks and regards,
Wilson

Hi,
1. Set the nls_lang=language_territory.characterset in the default.env or any
custom .env file.
2. Check whether the required language's .msb file exists in
<iAS_MidTier>\forms90
Note: With 9iAS rel 1 all the supported languages .msb files are installed by
default. For 9iDS and 9iAS rel 2 and above this has to be done explicitly by selecting the "Product Languages" option.
3. The Locale of the Client PC (Windows), which displays the Form in browser,
has to be set to the same nls_lang. Only then you would be able to see the
Form's characters in that language.
Best Regards,
Eugen Misailescu

Both of yall need to go to settings, meassages, send and recieve, scroll down to start new conversation from, and make sure you have different email addresses with a check mark beside it. Right now sounds like they are the same email addresses.

Text Message in Different Language

I am currently using iPhone 3GS and when i text in Korean, my other friends can receive and able to read it. However, when they text me in Korean, I cannot read it. It just shows question marks. My friends have _Droid, Verizon iPhone4 and Galaxy S_. Is there any way for me to read *Korean text messages*?

IPhone won't send cellular/text messages to other iphone

So, I'm out of data and I had no wifi either. For all my contacts that have iPhones, messages recognised this and switched it from iMessage to just message. Except for one contact. Even though I had sent that contact text messages before, as well as iMessages. I have no idea what hapoened or how to fix it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I had this same problem. I could send group messages to people that had iPhones, but when ever I tried to send a group message to people that don't have iPhones, it would never go through. I was searching and searching for an answer, and I finally found it.
I went to the Settings --> Messages --> Group Messaging
Turn OFF Group Messaging
Doesn't make sense, but it worked for me. Hope it works for you too.

I gave my granddaughter a mini. She says she can only text message to other IOS devices. Is this true? If so, is there a work around app?

I gave my granddaughter a mini as a gift. She says she cannot text message to non Apple users. Is this true? If so, is there a work around app?

With the imessage app that is pre installed on the device it only works with idevices. But there are many free apps for texting. For example text free is a great one.

Messaging in other languages not working

Hi,
Since the update to iPhone 3.1, I'm unable to select input in other languages when messaging. Every time I hit the "Globe" button, the phone just pops back to the home screen. Anyone has similar experience ?

I'm still able to change languages...have you tried a hard reset yet??
If you turn off all keyboards but English and then maybe hard reset, then add the keyboards back...it may resolve...

By typing in a language other than English. You can change the keyboard to more suitable forms for many languages.

The number of active keyboards appears before the right arrow.
2 Tap “Add New Keyboard…,” then choose a keyboard.
You can add as many keyboards as you want. To learn about using international keyboards, see Appendix A, “International Keyboards,” on page 248.

Can't receive text messages from other iphone users but can receive them from non-iphone users

I had to recently reinstall mavericks to my MacBook and suddenly I haven't been able to receive text messages from iphone users on my iphone. I can send them but not receive them. Recently I was able to receive a text from an iphone user who turned off his imessages before he texted me. That came through. Of course, this would be difficult to ask every iphone user i know to turn off imessages in order text me. I've also tried to turn off my imessage on my macbook, iphone and ipad and still can't receive them. Lastly, I've also tried resetting my networking settings and that didn't help either. Any suggestions???

I am having the same problem minus the fact that I don't have a Mac computer I just can't receive any messages from iPhone users and I can't turn my iMessage back on at all it keeps just turning it off every time I try to turn it on. any help would be greatly appreciated.

I cannot send text messages to others not on my iphone4S.

Can anyone out there help me with this? I can send text messages (imessages) to friends with a newer iphone, but no messages come in or go out to those that are not on iphones. I tried every combaination of settings in the Messages area of the settings - and nothing works. i have checked with AT&T online, and my account shows I have full unlimited text on my plan - and it worked 3 days ago on my old iphone. Any suggestions?
Thanks!!!

I have the same issue. AT&T members can't receive messages from me. This started for me back around June 9 while I was actually a Sprint user. Switched to Verizon on June 19, hoping to solve the issue. However weeks later, AT&T users still can't receive messages from me.
They can receive MMS, just not SMS. I receive message from them. It is affecting both Android and iPhone users. I have always had an Android device.
PLEASE HELP!
