  • I have a new iPhone 5 and receive the following message when texting some people within my contacts.  Message sent using invalid number of digits please resend using 10 digit number or valid short code Msg:2114

    I have a new iPhone 5 and receive the following message when texting some people within my contacts.  Message sent using invalid number of digits please resend using 10 digit number or valid short code Msg:2114. Online I found a discussion that stated i needed to delete contact and re-add. I have done that to no avail. Any ideas?

    I had the same issue with the iPhone 6 and tried everything!  I now understand that at some point I stored a number for a contact without including the area code and sent a text message.  So, to correct the issue, you must literally "erase" all references to the contact, not just the number.  Deleting the contact and entering a new one is not enough because the iPhone stores references to that number in multiple places.  The steps below worked and are very simple:
    1) On the contact screen, delete everything stored for that number.  You can't just edit the contact to fix the problem, so write down or record the info somewhere before you complete this step.  Choose edit and then select DELETE to eliminate the entire contact which means home, work, cell, email address, etc.
    2) Delete the entire string of messages you sent to that number.  That's every single message...
    3) Now delete the entire string of invalid 2114 messages you received after your text(s) failed.
    4) Finaly, remove the contact from FAVORITES if you saved it that way. 
    5) To validate that all this worked, simply go to the keypad or contact screen and enter the number associated with the contact to verify successful removal.  I used the keypad and dialed to confirm.  If the contact number still shows up, you need to go back and recheck your steps.  Trust me, I had to do this a few times.
    Several posts suggested that you should  reset and turn off your phone.  After following these steps, it was not necessary for me to reset or turn off my device. 
    is there a much faster way to achieve the same results?  Probably, but this was safe for an iPhone novice and may help you avoid inadvertently deleting other contacts or replacing factory settings that you need.

    How can this be fixed? Most of my numbers are saved as 7 digit

    So I THINK I've figured this out. Hopefully. I was getting the same problem when I was trying to text my boss and my dad. I went back to try to delete the contact and try again and I noticed that I had the little phone icon next to their numbers and not the messaging text bubble. But I'd also left their type of phone as "home" in the drop down menu. I edited that to mobile and boom, got the text messaging bubble. Tried texting them both, I could now send the message.
    I think if the number is set to home the phone assumes it's a landline and doesn't even try to send. I think the people who have had success deleting and re-inserting the contact edited that piece of information without realizing it.
    I really hope this solves your problem!

  • Trying to activate my iphone 5. when connected to itunes its says i need version 10.7. but when i try to update, it says that im current at 10.6.3.

    trying to activate my iphone 5. when connected to itunes its says i need version 10.7. but when i try to update, it says that im current at 10.6.3.

    iTunes version 10.7 requires at least Mac OS X version 10.6.8 if you're running a Mac, or Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later if you're running Windows.
    Is your computer up-to-date enough for iTunes 10.7?

    Make sure you're using the correct code. For most iTunes cards, the code is under the scratchoff area on the back of the card. For more information, see this support article:

    If you can't get to work after perusing that page, contact the iTunes Store Support; instructions are at the bottom of that article.
    Good luck.

  • When I text someone their email flashes briefly in grey?

    I've had a hard time googling this one but have a picture. Basically when I text someone from my iPhone 4S the screen does something weird and very quickly the email of the person I'm texting flashes above in grey. This just started happening today. Thanks in advance :)

    Turn off imessage and it should show your name on their device and not your email address. 

  • When I text someone my Icloud name appears

  • Okay so my friend just got an iPhone 4, and when i text her (i have an iPhone 5), and when she texts me its an iMessage, but when i text her, its a normal message... Any way to fix that? its really annoying

    Okay so my friend just recently got the iphone 4 and I have the iphone 5. When she texts me its imessage, but when i text her it is a normal sms message.. I think ive tried everything at both ends... Any suggestions????? its driving me crazy

    It is no wonder she is not receiving your messages if she has iMessage turned off in her iPad.
    For her to receive iMessages on the iPad, she needs to turn iMessage ON in her iPad and then she needs to be connected to the internet in order to receive them.  This connection can go through WiFi or through cellular data if her iPad has this functionality, but those two requirements are a must.
    1. iMessages ON
    2. iPad connected to Wifi or cellular data.
