Unable to text to a phone number not in contacts

On my Z10 I'm unable to text to a phone number unless I first add it to my contacts and attempting to do so causes the software to crash.  I text numbers that I don't necesarilly want to add to my contact list so any fix for that?

    The iPad is not capable of sending an SMS message so texts, pictures, etc., must go through iMessage.  The destination device must be registered with the Apple servers by turning on iMessage.  Therefore, the user with the iPhone must enable it for iMessage.

  • HowDoI copy a phone number from a contact and paste it into a text

    Z10 HowDoI copy a phone number from a contact and paste it into a text message?
    Help Please. It should be so simple but in the maze of approaches to contacts from the phone or home screen which ever way you get there; how do I select a phone number, copy it and paste it into a text message to another contact so that I can send it on?
    The logic of the interface is totally baffling to me most of the time. Can't there just be one contacts interface so that when you enter it from anywhere it presents the same options to edit etc. Cannot the three blobs be called up to allow a proper edit menu - copy/cut/paste/delete.
    Can the favourites be held permanently in screen at the top with the rest of the contacts scrolling below them?
    Can it be set up so that contact pictures do not show to save screen space?
    Any help on any of these - much appreciated.
    Solved!

    How Do I copy a phone number from a contact and paste it into a text message?
    The only option would be to to select the edit option on the contact and hold your finger on the number and select the copy option on the left side panel.
    Can the favorites be held permanently in screen at the top with the rest of the contacts scrolling below them?
    This feature is currently not available.

    Let me know if you have any other questions.
    Thanks.

  • Second phone number for a contact wont appear as an option for text messaging on iPhone 4/IOS6

    My iPhone 4 (IOS6) is a work phone and my number is blocked (I have to call a lot of people while out of the office who I don't want to have my cell number). Since I want my friends to know it is me when I call I save their phone number in my contact list with *82 in front of their number. However, I learned that text messaging doesn't seem to work with *82 in front of the number so I also have each contact saved as a second number without the *82 at the beginning for texting only. After "upgrading" to IOS6 I have found that my texting number won't show up when I type the contact name into the address bar in the text message app, just the *82 number that won't work. It used to list all numbers associated with that contact. I know I could just send them a message from the contact card one time and then just open the thread in the messaging app every time after that, but since I am often driving when I am out of the office I use Dragon dictation to compose my texts and then only have to type the contact name into the address line each time instead of typing an entire message. Long story short, I really need it to list all numbers for each contact and not only the one they randomly decide I might want. I have also checked my contacts and ensured that the non-*82 number is listed first in the contact card, that didn't change anything.

    There is an option in the Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout. Of course this means that your screen layout will be reset but maybe this will 'bump' those hidden apps out of the 'invisible 5th row'. It's worth a try I guess. Did you check to make sure the apps weren't pushed to like the very last screen instead?

  • Can someone hack my iphone and send texts from my phone number?

    Someone said they were getting texts from my phone number but I didn't send them.  Is that possible that someone hacked my iPhone and sent messages under my phone number?

    No. If your phone is not jailbroken, they can not do so.
    There are plenty of ways to spoof the caller ID string, though. It's illegal, but it can be done. The messages are not being sent from your phone. They are being sent from somewhere else by someone masquerading as you.

  • TS4036 I have backed up my phone to icloud, photos, music, contacts, but now most of my contacts don't show up on my actual phone, and all I have on the text is a phone number instead of the person's name. What happened?

    I am new to the icloud, and I have a question. I have backed my phone up to icloud, with photos, music, contacts, etc. but now most of my contacts have disappeared on my actual phone, and when someone sends me a text, just a phone number shows up instead of their names. What happened? How do I get all of my contacts back on my phone?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Do you see all your contacts on a computer at...
    iCloud.com

  • Why am I seeing outgoing and incoming text from another phone number that is on my plan?

    Why am I seeing outgoing and incoming text from another phone number that is on my plan?

    That is why. If you take the time to go into Settings>Messages>Send and Receive. Then uncheck everything but the phone number for each particular device, you should be alright after that.

    You go into recent calls then press the arrow next to it and then add to contact or like that.

  • On an iphone 4s, when I tap the phone number in my contacts list instead of calling the number it goes to a "Welcome to mail screen" how do I make it call the number instead?

    On an iphone 4s, when I tap the phone number in my contacts list instead of calling the number it goes to a "Welcome to mail" screen with icloud, Microsoft exchange, Gmail, Yahoo, Aol & Windows Live Hotmail listed beneath. How do I make it call the number instead?

    Never heard of that.  I suspect it thinks that's an email address and you're seeing that screen b/c you don't have an email account setup on your iPhone.
    Assuming the number is valid, try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • How do I change which phone number from a contact will be dialed when I push a favorite in phone?

    How do I change which phone number from a contact will be dialed when I push a favorite button in phone? For example if a favorite dials a contact's office number and I want their cell to be called instead.

    Thanks again Chris.
    I was simply going to write that you were incorrect and there are no plus signs either, but I was certian you knew what was supposed to happen, and that I wasn't going soft either. So after staring at it for a while it just came to me: the file was full! I deleted just one favorite and both the plus and the Add to Favorites button appeared where you described.
    Thanks for your help,
    Larry

  • How would i put a Australian cell phone number into my contacts such as 899-8930

    How would i put a Australian cell phone number into my contacts such as 899-8930

    Check the country of the contact, then use the international prefix number and iOS will sort out the display of the number.
    In addition to iCloud: Change the format of addresses and phone numbers

  • My imessage is hooked up to my email and not my phone number.  I delete my phone number and are unable to click on my phone number because its greyed out.  PLEASE HELP ME

    my imessage is hooked up to my email and not my phone number.   i deleted my email and am unable to click on my number because its blacked out.  WHAT DO I DO?

    But my whole issue is that I can't get on my moms phone to turn it off. I'm asking even if I make a new Apple ID and under send and receive click on these two options,
    send and receive messages at:
    -248-25x-xxxx(my number)
    [email protected](new Apple ID I made)
    will my messages still be sent to my moms phone even though I'm using a different Apple ID.  because on hers, it has her number, my number and her Apple ID  all turned on. If I'm not making sense I'll try and explain better. But currently her send and receive looks like this:
    send and receive messages at:
    -248-79x-xxxx(her number)
    -248-25x-xxxx
    [email protected]

  • Contact name not displaying for texts/messages, only phone number does

    When I turn on my iPhone 6 (iOS 8.0.2) in the morning (I shut it off at night), any received text messages (iMessages or standard texts) only show the phone number of the person who sent the text and the standard tone for texts is heard, when it should display the name and play the special text tone I setup on specific contact records.  It is not til after I use the Touch ID or enter my passcode that the name of the contact who sent the text displays AND the special text tone for that contact is heard.  This not normal behavior.  Even upon startup on my former iPhone (5), any texts received displayed the contact name and played the appropriate tone when the phone was turned on during the morning.  HELP!  I believe this is a bug; but, would like to have this confirmed.  If it's a setting or combination of settings that I'm missing in iOS 8.0.2, please let me know. 
    My contacts have never been stored in iCloud nor do I plan to use iCloud.
    Thanks!

    Try this: when device is ON remove the battery, wait a minute and turn the battery back to the device.

  • IPhone 4s will not let me text to one phone number

    My iPhone 4s will not let me text to my brother's phone number.  It keeps giving the message "Error Invalid Number.  Please re-send using a valid 10 digit mobile number or valid short code."  I have rebooted my phone; same problem.  I checked the number; it is correct with area code and 7-digit number.  I have no trouble texting anyone else in my contact list.  The number is not blocked. 

    I'd head to an Apple Retail Store or contact AppleCare at 1-800-275-2273
