When I send a text?

After installing iOS 6 on both my iPad and iPhone When I send a text message from my iPhone to another iPhone user but not any other phone type when they reply it comes back to my iPad And not my iPhone any suggestions?

This sounds like an iMessage problem. Check in Settings --> Messages --> Send & Receive. That screen lists "You can be reached by iMessage at:" as well as "Start new conversations from:" with a checklist of possible numbers and/or e-mails for each. Make sure your phone number is listed and checked in your iPhone Settings for both.

  • When I send a text to someone, they receive it from my email address not my ph number, how can I stop this?

    I recently upgraded to iOS 6 and am being told by my contacts that when I send a text they receive it from my email address (in their messaging app) and not from my phone number.
    I have checked the send/receive settings in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, the phone is set to send/receive default from my phone, yet the email sends it first.
    I have removed and re added the email address, but have had no luck resolving the problem.
    Has anyone else had the same problem? Is there a way I can stop it without turning off iMessage?
    Thanks in advance.

    There is another setting for "Start Conversation from", that needs to be set to phone number.

  • On my iPhone 4s, how do I make it so it doesn't make a sound when I send a text?

    On my iPhone 4s, how do I make it so it doesn't make a sound when I send a text? Even if my ringer is set to high, I don't want it to make a sound when it sends my texts..can anyone help?

    Flip the Ring/Silent switch.

  • Can someone tell me how to set my name so when I send a text it shows up instead of my phone number

    Can someone tell me how to set my name so when I send a text it shows up instead of my phone number

    You can't do that. Only the sending number is transmitted by the carrier with an SMS message. If the recipient has you in their address book, with most smart phones and some others, the name will display, but that's a function of the phone on the receiving end.

  • I downloaded the new iOS 6 for my iphone 4.  I have 2 iphones on my account and after the "upgrade" text messages go to both phones.  When I send a text to my wife I recieve the same text and vise versa.  How can I fix this?

    "Sounds like you guys are using the same apple id for imessage.   You will need to create a separate id for you wife.  OR go to settings - message - receive&send and make sure your phone number is the default for both you and yoru wife.

  • When I send a text message I do not get any confirmathat it has been delivered.  Is there a way of getting an automated confiramtion of deleivery as I'm used to having this on a previous phone, and need to know that my texts have been delivered.

    When I send a text message I do not get any confirmation that it has been delivered.  Is there any way of getting an automated message confirmation delivery and time?  I was used to this with my old phone and need to know that my text message has been delivered to the recipient's phone, and when.

    Thanks.  So there's no means of knowing whether a text message has been delivered, not to mention time of delivery.  Perhaps I've gone for the wrong phone.  It might do a lot but seems to miss out on some basics.

  • When I send a text to my email, my wifes phone recives it as an iMessage.

    After setting up all 3 of our iPhone 3GS phones on iCloud so we could us ehte find my phone feature an anoying thing happened.  When I send a text message to my email address my son's phone and my wifes phone recive that message as a text message.  Also when she texts me I recive it as if it is coming from my email address.  I went threw my contacts any my email is not associated with her contact.
    After a trip to the apple store we found out that suposedly it was because we all share the same iTunes account.  So I created an apple ID for my wife and my son and set the iCloud to use thier respective accounts.  It appears that my sons phone does have the issue anymore but my wife and my phone still have the issue.
    A side note, my Son's phone when plugged into the computer (windows 7) pops up labled his phone.  When my phone or my wifes phone is plugged in it just says Apple iPhone.  It doesn't show our iPhones name.  iTunes does show the proper name though.
    This is a very anoying thing and I would love to get it resolved with out having to go back to the apple store.

  • When I send a text message from my iphone sometimes the recipient receives it twice...why does this happen.

    Why is it that when I send a text message, sometimes the recipient receives it twice. It doesn't happen every time.

    I am having this same problem. Sometimes it sends from my phone number, sometimes it sends from my gmail. Under my messages settings it says "receive messages at 2 addresses" and when I click on that I try to remove the gmail address from there but the option to delete that email address is grayed out so I can't click on it.
    I discovered this was happening because I am in a group imessage with 2 friends. They told me that for some reason the group convos were split into 2 different conversations in their message list. And we discovered it's because in one group the messages are coming from my phone number, and in the other group it is coming from my gmail address.
    I don't mind RECEIVING iMessages at both my phone number and my gmail - but I want control over which one is being used when I SEND iMessages.
    Any ideas??? Thanks in advance.

  • When I send a text message to my husbands iPhone he does not get it

    When I send a text to my husbands iPhone he does not get it.  It worked before the new update.

    Either one of you needs to uncheck the other's phone number under settings<messages<send & receive or one of you needs to sign out of the apple ID in iMessage settings altogether by pressing the apple id on the page and choosing 'sign out'

        Oh goodness! We want your text going through the first time, dria56. Does this happen when you're messaging someone in particular or is it every message you send? Is it a plain text or a message with more than 160 characters/graphics/pictures?

  • When I send a text message to someone, it also goes to my husband. Why?

    When I send a text message to someone, it also goes to my husband.  Why?

    You are both signed ointo iMessage with the same APple ID. It is always best practice to use separate APple IDs for iCloud, iMessage & FaceTime.
    If you choose to use the same Apple ID, check your Send & Recieve settings:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Recieve > Make sure your husbands number is not checked on your phone (in both the You Can Be Reached By iMessage At and Start New Conversations From sections) and yours is not check on his phone.

  • When I send a text message the receiving party does not know who it came from?

    When I send a text message to someone they keep asking me who sent this message?  Please explain what I need to change.

    I am not sure what you mean.
    Do you mean the From field?
    You can change it by tapping it, it will give you options based on the other email accounts set up.
    You can set a default account here:
    Sttings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > scroll down to the Mail section & you will see Default Account. You can change that to your gmail account.

  • When I send a text message, daughter's iphone records as also sending.

    When I send a text message, daughter's iphone records as also sending. I have an iphone 4 and she has an iphone 5. We both recently updated to ios 7. This problem did not happen before the update.

    Go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and tap to clear the check mark next to your phone number on her phone and her phone number on your phone. That should stop the dual posting.
