TS4268 i can send imessages to a phone number but not to my daughter's ipad email address. does anyone no why
i can send imessages to a phone number but not to my daughter's apple ipad. can u tell me how or why i can't do this
- What happens when you try? Error message?
- Is the email addrese listed on her iPod in Settings>Messages>Send and receive?
- Is the same email address listed on your device in Settings>Messages>Send and Receive? If so it will not work.

All of a sudden this morning my iphone will not send imessages from my phone....
Hi Chas869,
Hmm, that is strange that your phone number is greyed out. There are a few things that we can try. First would be to turn iMessages off, then back on. See if you are able to select your phone number. Then if that doesn't work, turn iMessages back off, then reset the network settings....settings>general>reset>reset network settings, this will reboot the phone. Don't worry, it won't delete anything from the phone, it simulates a battery pull. Once the device comes back on, then turn iMessages back on. Keep us posted if that works!

For some reason I can go into the App Store on my ipad2 but then when I touch the update tab nothing appears on the screen. I see the number indicating I have updates available but since I can't see anything I can't update. Anyone know whats wrong or what I should do?
Just found a similar question and the reboot of the iPad has fixed the problem and the app is back :)

Hello I send imessages to a phone number I receive delivery notice but sms does not show on receiving phone. Otherwise when receive imessage from other phone I reply and receiver sees SMS !!! Any explanation ?

The other users would need to have send read receipts enabled on their phone. -
How do I send iMessages via my phone number from my iPad 2 on iOS 6
I have an iPad 2, an iPad 3, and an iPhone 5 all running iOS 6. I can send messages from my phone number from the iPad 3 and the iPhone 5 but the option is not available on the iPad 2. I am signed in with the same Apple ID across all three devices. What am i doing wrong???
Here's the go to info on Massages app. Perhaps knowing your own kit you can figure out where the configuration on a device is incorrect.

I had an iphone 4s and it worked nice with facetime and imessage using my phone number but it was stolen on December so I buy a new iphone 4s using the same cellphone number but now imessage and facetime does not work with my number, it only works with my apple ID. Please Help me I speak Spanish so if my English is not ok I´m sorry about it.
Do you think that apple has to reset in their database of the old serial number attached with my phone number and that’s why I can´t activate imessage and facetime with my number in the new iphone 4s??I understand all of this Meg; that is why I bought an Iphone; but never expected my phone not even give a at least a 24 or even 12 hours....I work 12 hour shifts and also would expect to have to charge each night but not twice a day or more. I am not always somewhere I can charge my phone.
Your points are true; however it doesn't help me...... -
I have original ipad and however I cant add my phone number to lmessage it will only take an email address . Is this correct ?
I copied this from an Apple Support article.
If your phone number is not listed on an iPod touch or iPad, follow these steps:
Update to the latest version of iOS.
Verify that you're using the same Apple ID that you are using on your iPhone.
On your iPad or iPod touch, sign out of your Apple ID in the following locations:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Sign in to your Apple ID with FaceTime and iMessage.
If your phone number is still not listed, follow these steps:
Sign out of your Apple ID on all iOS devices, including your iPhone, in the following locations:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Sign in to your Apple ID on your iPhone.
When activation is complete, your Apple ID and all verified email addresses should be visible in Settings > Messages > Receive At and also in Settings > FaceTime.
Now sign in to your Apple ID on your other iOS devices.
This is the website for the support article.

All of a sudden, emails adressed to me are received on my iPhone, but not on my MacBook. Same email address. Can somebody help? Thanks
You cannot, all content is tied to the Apple ID used to obtain them.
Content from one Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID.
You need to recover your Apple ID for updates.

Sometimes my friends I'm in a group message with ecieve my iMessage from my email address and other times its from my phone number. I have the caller id for iMessages set as my email address so I can receive them on my iPad too but my iPhone randomly decides to still send it from my phone number sometimes. Why?

Hi guys, so we have 2 iPhones in my house, both on the same Apple ID so that my mum and I can share everything. I have just got an iPad mini, and would like to use iMessage on it with my phone number, but the iPad only picks up other more recently added number (not mine, my mums) when I go to message settings. Is there a way to make the iPad default to other number?

Can you choose to block phone calls but not texts from a number?
So I have searched all over the place and have not found an answer. I am sure someone has blocked me from calling them because when I try to call them I recieve this message: "Welcome to Verizon Wireless. The number you were trying to reach has calling restrictions which has prevented the completion of your call."However I am wondering if they can still receieve my texts. I have sent two and they both show that they have been delivered on my phone and they both also show up on my online bill as having been sent from me and recieved to the number that I am pretty sure has blocked me. Does Verizon allow someone to block just phone calls but not text messages? Or if you block a number from calling does that mean texting from that same number is automatically blocked as well (or is it two seperate processes)? I understand it may look like it has been sent on my end, but I am wondering, since I never got a "message failed" indicator or anything else telling me they never got it, if they were able to receive and read the 2 messages? We both are Verizon customers by the way. Thanks!!!
That person did block you, and no they cannot receive or read your texts.

How can I send imessages from my phone number instead of my email?
My phone reset and now my imessages only send from my email address instead of from my phone number. I tried settings> messages> send and receive and unchecked the email listed like i saw to try on previous questions, but instead of fixing my problem, it just made it so that now i cant send imessages whatsoever! How can i fix this? I just want to send imessages from my number instead of my email address!
Hi gracem0324,
Go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, and click on your Apple ID and sign out of Messages. Then sign on again. Sometimes it needs to reset itself....
Cheers,
