Trouble receiving contact information thru text msg.

I cannot open contact info sent thru text msg (MMS) via an Iphone.  Is this to be expected?

Ok so you receive a .vcf from a friend via text msg.  It seems that you have to hold down until message options come up and save the attachment first prior to viewing it.
Seems like a long process.  With I phones you could tap the vcf and the info would pop up and you could dial from the contact info.
Sharing your contact info with Samsung you select the contact and the info you want sent and it is sent exposed and not in a vcf profile.
Oh well. Still transitioning from I phone to Android.

  • Can I receive photos via a text msg on a Treo 755p?

    I am a Verizon (formerly Alltel) customer with a Treo 755p.  Can anyone tell me if I can receive photos via a text msg and if so, what do I need to do to view the photos?

    Hello!
    You cannot receive media content from SMS but you can from MMS/picturemail.  This requires a different plan from SMS so please contact your carrier to see if you have this plan. 

  • HT4061 I lost all my pics contact e-mail text msg from I back up to factory setting l need my info back up to old setting.how I get it back?

    On may 24 I back up iPhone to computer when it was done I lost text msg,contact ,pic,e-mails,&2000 song.please direct me to get my old settings.

    Was this the same computer that you backed up to in the past? Do you have an iCloud backup? Have you tried restoring the backup using iTunes?

  • My husband is receiving all of my texts msgs

    Both phones are in my name with different plans and different numbers.  He is able to read and receive my text msgs as they come in. If he opens it, it no longer triggers me to read my msg.  Let alone a basic privacy issue!  I am not privy to his...
    We both have iphones.

    This caused by using the same Apple ID for iMessage on both devices.  It can be resolved by either:
    On one of the phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID.  Note: you can still share the same ID for purchasing in Settings>iTunes & App Stores; 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.

  • Forms trouble receiving form information from my website

    I have used the forms widget to set up a contact us form on my website. The form looks right on the website and when I(as a user) click send, I get the form sent confirmation message.
    The problem is that I do not receive the email containing the form information that the user has sent in my email that I have entered in the form widget dialog box.
    I am using go daddy as my web and email provider and other emails work fine. Am I missing a step? Why do I not receive user information?

    Report to your carrier. In the US, it is illegal to send spam SMS's & the carriers(in the US) will block the sender.

  • I can't receive text msgs from Iphone users-what gives?

    Hi,  I have had this issue for weeks.  I have been trying to find a solution through t-mobile but so far I still can't receive text messages from Iphone users. It is across the board.  I know about 5 people with Iphones and I can't get text messages from any of them.  Does anyone know why?  By the way, they all can receive my text msgs, no problem, but I can't receive theirs.  Is it because I don't have internet service on my blackberry?  But my friend who has an old Nokia phone with no internet capability receives texts from Iphone users, no problem??  Please help.  
    Thanks! 

    Sounds like you are on the right track. But dealing with carriers is, well, frustrating at best. And inconsistent. If you get a CSR that says they can do nothing. Hang up and call back...until you get someone who can really help.
    And maybe try different paths into support -- for instance, on the BIS login page for VZW, there is a number listed there that is different than any other of their support numbers. I had a problem with BIS once, called there and they got it fixed within 5 minutes. My account rep and other CSR's had been telling me that there was nothing they could do. So persistence wins out.
    Best.

  • Can receive text msgs but cannot send!?!?

    A few days ago I began to be unable to send text msgs. Using iPhone 3G, it appears that the 'send' button is dithered 'greyed' out. I tap it but nothing happens. I can email, and obviously type text online (as here) but cannot 'send' text. I deleted MSG history, cleared cache, cleared recent calls, cleared email history to no avail. I can receive text just dandy but cannot send. Can anyone shed some light here or do I go see the 'geniuses' at the store and get a new phone. ( it seems every time I have a phone problem like this, they can't fix it they just give me another phone) Would really like to not have to go to the store. Thanks in advance for anyones help!

    I would try a few basic things before scheduling an appointment with the Genius Bar.
    1) Sync your iPhone with your computer. I have noticed that sometimes my phone will have a hiccup and when I sync it, whatever was wrong automatically rights itself.
    2) Reset your iPhone holding down the "home" button and the Sleep/Power button on the top right side of the phone at the same time. It takes about 5-15 seconds and you want to make sure you hold down both buttons until you see the apple logo, ignore the slider.
    3) Plug your iPhone into the computer and perform a phone restore. There are 2 options for this:
    a- If you know when this problem started with your SMS messaging you can restore from a backup that was done on a previous sync. Chose a date prior to this issue starting and restore your phone to how it was on that date.
    b- If you don't know when this issue began or restoring it to an earlier date does not fix the problem you can restore it to how it was when it came out of the box.
    I hope that one of these things is able to solve your problem with SMS messaging. If none of these fixes the problem you should schedule an appointment with the Genius Bar and get this resolved with them. If you visit the Genius Bar make sure to sync your iPhone just prior to your appointment so if they need to replace the iPhone you don't lose any calendar entries, recently added contacts, pictures, etc.
    Good luck!

  • I can receive text but cannot send text msgs

    I can receive text but cannot send text msgs,can make outgoing calls..with full signals on my network provider and everytime i send message it displays" not delivered" and when i tap the retry it failed to send again.

Is the mobile number in the messaging center, my actual phone number??
    Sorry i asked this on you discussion, but its soo confusing .
    The mobile phone looking number is what you call the message center number. Contact your service provider to get the actual one. Then, make sure that you have the same number updated in Messaging -> Options -> Settings -> Text messages -> Msg. centre in use.
    This is not your "actual phone number".

  • Receiving text msgs on line

    I am out of the country a lot and would like to send and receive text msgs on my on line account.  How can this be done?
    I realize you can send test msg through the online account but not from your own account.  How would you check msgs.

    Unfortunately you are not able to receive messages, you can only send messages from the website. Visit www.vtext.com for more information. Hope this helps!
