TS2755 SMS messages are being received as emails

Hello.  I have an iPhone 5, and as of a couple of days ago, when I send an SMS text message to another iPhone user, the recipient receives those messages as emails.  Also, if other iPhone owners send me text messages, I don't receive them.
If I send an SMS text message to someone else (someone with an Android phone, for example), they are able to receive the messages normally, and their messages come to me.
I tried having a person with an iPhone 4S send me a text message.  Rather than coming through as an iMessage, the message showed up on that person's phone as a normal SMS text message.
Has anyone seen this issue, and/or had any success in resolving it?
I'm running IOS 6.1.3, and I purchased the phone about three months ago.

Messaging between Apple devices is called imessage.  To correct your problem go to settings - message - send&receive - make sure your cell is the defaut.  You may need to uncheck or remove the apple id.

    Why do senders receive a delivery failure notice although messages are being received?

    What you have there is either a jailbroken unit with some crazy custom UI or an eastern knockoff. Give us some photos of the ipad itself, mainly the back and some experts can help.
    If you plug it into iTunes does iTunes even acknowledge that an ipad is connected? If it does then try a restore.
    Failing that, head down to an apple store and see what they can do for you.

  • My mail messages are being received as blanks

    I have been having an issue with my Mail (ver5.2) that when I send a message it usually goes through fine, but every so often (few times daily) it send the message, looks completly normal in my SENT items, but the receiver is getting the message with an empty body.  So the subject heading is there but there is nothing written in the email. 
    It is very frustrating because I never know when this will randomly happen and people are getting annoyed with these cryptic 'blank' emails being sent from my account.
    Has anyone experienced anything like this before and have advice on what to do?
    Much thanks!

  • Text Messages are being sent as email only to another vzw user. Not able to send text to a mobile device?

    I am on a Galaxy S4. Sending text as usually, recipient gets an email of the text. Is is my settings or theirs? What needs to be changed?

    Are you entering their name from your contact list to send the text?  Or typing in their phone number?  The email may be what's being populated by default when you pull their name from the contact list, if that's how they have replied to you previously, or how you sent your last message to them. Try manually typing in their phone number in the To: field and see if it sends as a text or as an email when you do that.

  • My texts are being received as email

    I have an iphone 4. I just upgrade the software but have been having this issue for some time. Why does my colleague receive my texts in his email when others receive as a text? How do I fix this so he can receive my texts?

    Did your colleague ever have an iPhone? When you compose the text, are the text bubbles blue or green? If this person sends you a text and you respond, how is it going then? Can you check your contact for that person and see if by chance the email address is listed in the wrong area, like the phone number area? These are some things to check. Also, you can power the phone off/on, and do a reset, hold the sleep/wake and home button together until you see the Apple logo and then release.

  • Long SMS messages are being cut off-- iPhone 5 (original model), iOS 7.1.2

    When I receive messages from people on different carriers, AT&T in particular, I only receive the first 160 characters. The reason I'm asking is because this is a recent problem. I had no issue receiving long texts from people before; it would either become one long message or several which were =<160 characters. Why is this happening, and what can I do? This is very frustrating.

        Sam7ii,
    Thank you very much for that information. Just to verify, when someone with an Android phone texts you over 160 characters you successfully receive the entire message, right? Please try deleting all iMessages or text messages from the ones you're having issues with and then see if your phone will successfully receive a long message.

  • Why is that when I downloaded the iOS 7 for my iphone 5 that it changed my send and receive for imessages to a random number but my SMS messages are still linked to my phone number?

    I just encountered this problem for the first time and stumbled upon this forum to find a solution.  I played around with it a bit and it seems that if you slide your finger from the bottom up, you will come upon that new screen that will allow you to do various functions with your phone (put it in airport mode, lock, etc.), you can select your Airport from this screen and play your music wirelessly from your phone; at least this was my experience. Hope this helps!

  • Messages are being deleted automatically

    We have been using TB successfully on Windows 7 for a couple of years having previously used Outlook.
    My wife's incoming e-mail messages are being deleted after one month. They are also deleted from Webmail. The ISP says that they have not been deleted by the ISP but by a 3rd party program. We noticed the problem when searching for an old message. (I just checked using an old XP-enabled computer and all the old messages are there except nothing since June 25 2014.)
    I noted this morning that all of my sent messages have disappeared. For the moment at least they are still on the ISP's webmail.
    I checked our TB settings regarding retention and deletion, including those of 3 addresses that don't have the problem. They all look OK.
    Can somebody please advise on what our next steps should be? Many thanks.

    If you had pop and now want to use imap you need to create another (new) email account in Mail.
    When you start creating a new account, press the option key when you click the Continue button and you will be given the choice of creating the account for pop or imap.

  • Chat messages are being delayed

    So recently, for one certain skype contact, my messages are being delayed for both of us. I will send a message, but it won't actually appear to that contact for possibly a minute and I don't receive their messages for a while either. They also show as away when they have said their status is online. And since it is a microsoft account, I use outlook.com to chat with them, but it shows they are away and they can't receive my messages at all, and their messages don't show up in that chat at all. When I create a group, it doesn't show for them at all. For my normal skype account, it's the same thing and it is not a microsoft account. I have sync enabled, and this only started recently. What's the problem?
