Why am I being charged to text another iPhone user from my iPhone

I have a pre-paid AT&T phone and am charged per text. Normally it uses iMessage when I text other iPhone users and I am not charged. When my friend that also has some kind of pre-paid, non-standard plan (not AT&T, t-molbie, or verizon) texts me on her iphone, I am charged for it. Initally, I had some problems with being charged from other iphone users, but that may have been resolved when my IPad captured of the text first, before the phone did.
anyone had any experience with fixing this?

My daughter is unable to send text to other iphone users from her iphone! Other types of phones receive texts. What is wrong with the setting that is causing this?

why can my daughter send texts to other brands of phones, but not the iphone, She can received texts from iphones, but when she tries to send me a text from her iphone (or anyone else with an iphone), the messages don't send!

Turn iMessage off, then on again.
Make sure 'Send as SMS' is turned on.

Apple "veriifes" your Apple ID account information everytime you download media whether free or paid thus the authorization hold. Your account will be credited the amount of the holds usually within 24 to 48 hours.

Why am I being charged for data when connected to wifi AND not using my phone?!

WHY am I being charged for data that I'm not using? At times when I'm asleep AND my phone is connected to wifi?! This happens at really specific, alternating times like 9:54 pm every day, or 12:01 am, 6:01 am and then 12:01pm and 6:01pm. When I called I was told "maybe your wifi at home is disconnecting" or "maybe your phone is connecting to atnt or sprint". It's not possible that my phone is disconnecting from wifi every six hours on the dot and, at that exact time, I'm always using data. I find it hard to believe that I live in a HUGE city and my phone magically connects to other networks and I NEVER notice this. Verizon is full of LIARS (and maybe’s) and I'm not convinced that these data charges are a coincidence. I was told to turn off my cellular data to see if the problem resolves itself. Why should I alter my daily life when Verizon is clearly the one with the issue? I hope there's a class action lawsuit because Verizon is trying to get over on everyone! I need answers!

Hello NotHappy101,
I think it's quite odd that your data usage is at very specific times. We can certainly take a closer look. Please reply to my Direct Message, so we can get some additional details.
Thanks,

Why am i being charged twice for 11.04 and 11.46 when I did not purchase those songs, I used an itunes card 25$ and I still have 0.04 cents left?

Why am i being charged twice for 11.04 and 11.46 when I did not purchase those songs, I used an itunes card 25$ and I still have 0.04 cents left?
I couldnt redeem w/o an apple ID so when i did it asked for a credit card. And I want to discontinue and remove my account from itunes but it wont let me, there is no account discontinue or removal of account

Because too much time has passed I can't edit this into the prior comment, but here is the info regarding reverting to iTunes 11.0.2 (assuming you do have a time machine backup) from https://discussions.apple.com/message/22057703#22057703

Repairing permissions doesn't fix it.
I reverted to the previous version, 11.0.2.
1. Quit the new crash-prone iTunes.
2. Delete the app.
3. Restore v. 11.0.2 with Time Machine.
4. In your iTunes folder look for a folder called "Previous iTunes Libraries", find the latest one.
5. In the iTunes folder itself you'll see "iTunes Library.itl", delete it (or compress it and save a copy for later just in case.
6. Copy the newest .itl file in Previous iTunes Libraries to the iTunes folder and rename it "iTunes Library.itl".
7. Launch the older version of iTunes.
My crashing has seemed to have ceased with a revert to an older version. I noticed today that the newer crashing iTunes had been launched for hours but not playing anything, when I played internet radio it crashed within 5mins, fed up I reverted to an older version.
Btw, a simpler way to do this is to revert to older iTunes app, then hold Option when it launches and choose an older library.

Why am I being charged more than $3.00 per month?

Why am I being charged more than $3.00 per month?

The taxes would make sense, except that the song cost .69 cents and I was charged .77 cents. Even if the additional charge was due to taxes, it should have only cost .74, maybe even .75 if it was rounded up. So I am still being charged 2-3 cents more and this isn't the first time this has happened. I was charged $1.03 more for an album than it cost originally. At first I thought itas because I had bought a couple of songs from it and then decided to buy the album, but I clicked on the "complete my album" button, not the "purchase album" button. The cost for the album was $12.99 and the cost for completing my album was supposed to be $10.99. I know that 3 cents isn't much of a difference, but when you consider how many songs I've bought from iTunes, it makes quite a difference. Thanks for replying and I did think about this as a possibility, but the math is not adding up.

I would very much like to understand why Siri is being marketed as something new. before the latest Iphone Siri was a free app. Now it is no longer available??? Assumption is to use Siri I must buy a new iphone

i would very much like to understand why Siri is being marketed as something new. before the latest iphone Siri was a free app which was present on my old iphone. Recently purchased another 3G and Siri is is no longer available??? Assumption is to use Siri I must buy the latest and greatest iphone.

Siri that is in the iPhone 4S is "new". It is based on technology the old app used (Apple bought the company), but it has been extended, enhanced, improved and integrated into the OS in a way the old app never could.
So, yes, now to use Siri you need an iPhone 4S. It is no longer available as a separate, third-party app.

Why can't I send a text to a contact from my I-pad but can send to that contact from my I-phone?

Why can't I send a text to a contact from my I-pad but can send to that same contact on my I-phone

Are you saying you are successful in sending text messages to Android users from your iPad? I doubt you can do that as iPad does not SMS, which is what a cell phone does, but iPad is not a cell phone. The Message App in iPad was designed to let you send messages to other iOS based devices.
There are Apps you can get from the App Store, like TextFree, which will assign a number to your account, but from iPad you can text all your contacts regardless of type of device. You will however need to let everyone you message with know what number a message would come from as it won't come from your cell number.

When I send a text from my iPad, it shows that it comes from my email address. If I then text that same someone from my iPhone it still shows as if its coming from my iPad. How do I stop this?

On your iPhone, go to Settings -> Messages -> Receive At -> Caller ID and make sure the phone number is selected - this will cause new messages sent from your iPhone to appear to come from your iPhone phone number.
(I actually prefer to have my email selected, so that when I message someone from my iPhone and they reply, it goes to both my iPhone and iPad)
Also, when you send a message from your iPhone, make sure you're not replying within an existing conversation (that was created on your iPad and linked to your email). Just start a new conversation (even if it's to the same person) by going to the Messages app, going back to "Messages" (top left corner) if you're already looking at a conversation, and then clicking the Compose icon in the top right.

Do you get a send error message or a red "!" when you send? Do you have a data plan on your account? Check that your carrier has you provisioned for MMS.
