Text messaging pics...any news?

I can't believe they did not give this phone the capability to send pics by text messaging. This is a very basic and widely used application with all cell phones. Does anyone know about any proposed changes to this? Is there any way around this? I hate having to go to that site (www.viewmypicture.com) just to see a picture. You have to put in a username & password and sometimes it dont work....and the picture is small and doesn't look good. This is very annoying.

Looks like you've got the pieces of the answer in the other posts, but just for info purposes . . . . I've been using email for pics and it works just fine. Like you, I'd prefer if they would add MMS, but the email works. Just add the MMS email address of your friends and family in the address book and then pick that address instead of the regular one when sending the pic. The worse part is that you have to ask your friends to put your email address in their phone and send pic messages to that instead of your phone number. Here are a couple of the carrier addresses:
ATT: [email protected]
Verizon: [email protected]
Alltel: [email protected]
As far as saving the picture, that too would be nice (and I hope they fix it), but I've just been saving the pics into iPhoto from Mail on my Mac and then it resyncs into the iPhone.
Not perfect . . . and yes, it should be better, but the work arounds do work.

If I have cellular capabilities turned on, can I send a text message to any type of cell phone thu iMessage?

If I have cellular capabilities turned on, can I send a text message to any type of cell phone using iMessage? Or do I need a app such as Text Plus to do this. I have a New iPad. Thanks for any info.

iMessagel is basically an online chat kinda service. It does not use a carrier service to send text message. It only does instant messages. At least on the iPad side. iPhones are given to choise of sending via iMessage and text depending on the receiver.

Why can't I send and receive text messages on my new 5c ?

Why can't I send and receive text messages on my new 5c ?
I can send imessages. I can sometimes send texts. But I cannot ever send picture texts. and I am not receiving texts.

Antny,
Yikes, this is no bueno let's get these messages back up and flowing. Are you able to send out regular text messages ok? Ensure your Picture Messages feature is turned on, follow these steps: Settings>Messages>MMS Messaging. Also ensure Send as SMS is turned on as well. If these features are turned on then try this: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings then retest. Keep us posted please.

I'm not receiving text messages on my new iPhone. What's wrong?

I'm not receiving text messages on my new iPhone. What am I doing wrong?

Nothing so far, other than to look for answers. I'm a newbie to this. I can successfully send messages, but I can't receive them, other than an initial message from my cell phone carrier confirming my plan with my new iPhone 4S.

Why can't people send a text message to my new iPad phone number

Why can't people send a text message tou my new iPad phone number? I just got this iPad for my birthday and my wife has secretly told everyone the new number to send text messages to as a surprise when I onpened it... but none came through.

Only individuals with iOS devices can message you and they must message you via the email address(es) associated with your Apple ID.
They cannot message a phone number unless you have an iPhone associated with the account.

Brand New Iphone 5c can't send or receive text messages of any kind!? I've tried everything, why does no one have a solution for this? There's no way we're keeping a phone that can't even perform one of it's most basic functions. Help!

Got the new Iphone 5c from Verizon today and was really happy with the phone until we realized it is unable to send or recieve text messages AT ALL. We've tried everything, searched the internet for hours, I've tried live chatting with Verizon and Apple ALL DAY and somehow keep getting "disconnected" even though my internet is working perfectly. The phone is pretty much useless if it's unable to perform one of it's main functions and it's really dissapointing to add a line, get the phone, only to discover a major problem with seemingly no solution whatsoever. Is there any fix for this? Because a phone that is incapable of sending or receiving a simple SMS message is pretty much useless. It's too bad too because I really love the phone if not for that. Does anyone have a legitimate way to solve this problem? We've done everything, network resets, turning imessaging on and off, factory reset, etc. etc. etc. and nothing works. Please help.

Hello Idkallday!
I know your device sends and receives text messages! Let's get to work on this! Did you port your service from another carrier, or is this a new number? Is your previous device still powered on?
I also want to ask if you are able to use iMessaging, and if you see any error message when sending?
Please test it by sending a message to your own mobile number, and keep us posted!

Wife and I have an Iphone 4s, she receives my text, but the history on my IPhone disappears as soon as I send a text to her. I also do not receive any of her text messages. Any ideas how to fix this?

Both my wife and I have an IPhone 4s. All of a sudden, when I text her, she receives my text, but the history on my IPhone disappears as soon as I send the text. Also, I don’t receive any of her text messages. Though while testing and trying to troubleshoot, I have sent a text message from her phone to my phone and I do hear the text sound message go off on my phone but no text. Though I on my icon, I do see I have 1 new text message and as soon as I click on it, the text message will disappear if it’s from her. Now I have noticed when I call her the history also disappears now. I can call her and she can call me from the phone successfully. Just can’t receive any of her text message and no history is retrieve from my phone. Can anyone please help??? Just to share, I have hard booted both phones, deleted and re-added our contact information and in the ‘Message’ settings, we both have the message ‘on’, Send as SMS ‘on’, MMS Messaging ‘on’ and under the ‘send and Receive’ field, it has my number listed with a 1 and area code…1 (210) xxx-xxxx.

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.

I can't send a text message with this new iPad 3

I cannot send a text to a friend with an older iPhone. I tried turning iMessage off but it keeps prompting me to log in instead of sending the text via SMS with my cellular plan. Any suggestions?

So you did not read about iMessage before you bought the iPad? If you did, you would know that you can only text other iOS 5 users.
http://www.apple.com/ios/features.html#imessage says:
iMessage
iPad and iPod touch join the conversation.
With iMessage, we’ve created a new messaging service for all iOS 5 users. You can send unlimited text messages via Wi-Fi or 3G from your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch to anyone with one of those devices. iMessage is built into the Messages app, so you can send text, photos, videos, locations, and contacts. Keep everyone in the loop with group messaging. Track your messages with delivery receipts and optional read receipts, see when someone’s typing, and enjoy secure encryption for text messages. Even start a conversation on one of your iOS devices and pick up where you left off on another.

Netstream.send only text messages or any type?

In Netstream.send() documentation it says: " ... arguments
— Optional arguments that can be of any type."
In the documentation to the Netstream class it says "You can
also use NetStream objects to send text messages to all subscribed
clients (see the NetStream.send() method)."
I tried to send a Rectangle with Netstream.send:
Code on Sender:
var rect = new Rectangle(1,2,5,5);
nc.call("serverShowRect",null, rect);
Code on Flash Media Server: (FMS 2.0.4)
STREAM_NAME = "myStream";
Client.prototype.serverShowRect= function(msg)
myStream = Stream.get(STREAM_NAME);
myStream.send("@setDataFrame","onRectangle",msg);
Code on Client:
function onRectangle(infoObject:Object):void {
trace ("Rectangle received.");
trace ("tracing properties:");
var key:String;
for (key in infoObject) {
trace(key + ": " + infoObject[key]);
try {
var rect:Rectangle = infoObject["rectangle"] as Rectangle;
trace("Rect as rect:" +rect);
catch (error:Error){
trace(error.message);
The function onRectangle() ist called ok. The infoObject's
properties can be shown by trace. But I cannot convert infoObject
into an Rectangle. var rect will be either null or I get an
type-conversion error.
Does anyone know how to send other data than Strings using
Netstream.send()? Or can one actually only send Strings using FMS2

You should receive an email receipt with every purchase that you make in iTunes on the computer or in iTunes, the App Store or the iBookstore on an iOS device. I always get a receipt via email. You are not getting them?
If you are asking if Apple will send you a detailed purchase history, the answer to that is no since you can access that information in your account in iTunes on your computer. Click on Account under the Quick links on the right side of iTunes, enter your password at the prompt, and then click on "See all" to the right of Purchase History in the next window.

Xperia T text message faults, any ideas?

I am currently unable to read text messages. When I open a conversation and scroll it cuts back to the home screen. Also when I write a message it will cut back to the home screen before I've finished and I lose the message.
I have re-installed the software and I'm still having problems. Anyone out there who can help??

When you re-installed the software, did you use the repair phone function or how did you perform this re-installation? Did you restore any backup?

Help! Where are my contacts & text messages after syncing new iPhone!

Hi anyone who can help!
I've just had to replace my iPhone 3G which was faulty, and got my new one today without any problem.
I did all the right things by syncing all my iPhone content last night with iTunes so that I could reload them onto the new one.
But when I plugged in the new one to sync from 'back up', it said the new iphone's software was too old, and that I would first need to
1 - set it up as a new phone
2- upgrade the software
3 Then sync again using the 'back up' content.
Well I've done the first two but after that I've found it impossible to back up using the original content and now I fear it's synced it again with new material, ie an empty phone basically! What I really need to know is all that content, ie my entire phone book AND text messages thread (going back a year) still retrievable? I've located all my contacts in the address book and I may have to re-enter them manually, which I can live with, but what about the text messages??
Any help at all much appreciated!
simon

Text messages aren't included with the iTunes sync process except for being included with the iPhone's backup, and the same for contacts unless you are syncing contacts with a supported address book app on your computer, which must be manually selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
Before syncing contacts with the Address Book app on your Mac, enter one contact in the Address Book app on your Mac. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select.
The same applies to calendar events before the first sync with iCal on your Mac.
If you transfer your iTunes library from your PC to your Mac per the instructions included with this link, no iTunes content on your iPhone will be erased with the first sync with iTunes on your Mac.
