Why can't I forward text messages using iMessage to my email address?

I recently upgraded my cell phone to an iPhone 5s.  I'm using iMessage and am unable to forward text messages to my email address.  Sometimes they deliver fine but on the whole they won't go through to my email.  Can anyone tell me why?  Or what I can do to get them to forward?  Thank you!

Do you just mean while you are in the car? Or do you mean while you're connected to a system in the car? What happens when you try? Have you consulted your dealer to make sure you have the most up-to-date firmware on your car system?

  • Why do some of my text messages get received "from" my email address instead of contact name?

    WHen I send text messages, sometimes my email address appears in the receipients message box instead of my contact name.  This also results in multiple people sometimes receiving the message (those set up under my apple id)...any ideas?  I'm thinking it has to do with the SMS messaging setup.

    Its because you are sending them as iMessages and not SMS.
    If you want to turn iMessage off, go to settings, messages and turn it off.

  • TS3274 Why can't I send text messages to some of my people in my contact list?

    Why can't I send text messages to some of my people in my contact list? What do I have to do?

    You can send imessages to anyone who is using an Apple device (recent models).It will try to go via wifi but if it can't then it will try to send as an SMS and for that you need cellular capability.
    Does your iPad have cellular capability?  If not then you can't send to non-Apple devices through iMessage.
    Hope this helps a bit.

  • Why can I no longer text message on the larger format by turning my phone?

    Why can I no longer text message on the larger format by turning my phone on its side?

    Hi,
    Since iChat 6 the SMS option in the Menus has disappeared.
    However if you add the number to a Buddy List as if it were  Screen Name but with the leading +1 (as in +1234567890) it will work over AIM.
    It only works to US phones on some Carriers.

    Usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

  • Why can't we whitelist text messages?

    I've been getting spam texts for a few months now.  About one a week and the message is always the same, except that the number they're coming from changes every time, as well as the number in the message to call (something about they buy used and junk cars) changes every time too.  Why isn't there some simple switch in text message settings to reject or not display text messages if the message didn't come from someone in your contact list on your phone?  Also, why isn't Apple allowing an app to do the same?  I have unlimited text messaging on AT&T so these unwanted texts don't cost me anything, but man I hate spam and I want to punch these bastards in the face!  It's so annoying! 
    Android has apps to do this, whitelists your contacts and rejects texts and calls from people not in your contacts on your phone and I was thinking of switching but this kind of thing makes me want to switch even more.  Such a simple thing and yet it's no available on an iPhone.

    That would have to be controlled by your carrier. 3rd party apps do not have access to the functions necessary to do this. It's largely a security issue. True blocking of calls and text messages can only be done at the carrier level.

  • Why can't I recieve text messages from an iphone while I'm on a phone call

    When I'm on a phone call on my IPhone5s I can not receive text message from other IPhones. Why is this and is there a way that I can fix it. Nor can I send I messages or picture text.

    That is a limitation of 4g networks, you cannot use data and talk at the same time except for few networks (I think AT&T)
    Unless you have the new iPhone 6, which supports enhanced LTE which will allow talk and data over 4g networks.
    This problem exists with many other phones as well by the way.

  • Why can't I receive text messages from certain phone numbers?

    I cannot receive a text message from one particular number.  We have both checked our phones to make sure we had not blocked each other, which we didn't.  She also is a verizon customer but has an android while I have the iphone.  She can receive my texts but I cannot receive her reply. 

        Hi Coggin. Sounds like you and your friend started in the right direction to find out why her messages aren't getting to you. Budone has a great suggestion to make sure she doesn't have your number stored with a 1 in front. That can actually cause the Android phone to have trouble sending the message to your number correctly. Since you are able to send with everyone including her and she is having trouble sending to you, that tells me it's more likely something we need to look at on her end. Is she getting any error message? Are you the only one she has trouble sending to? Has she ever been able to send you a text before? If she has, when's the last time it worked? Is she using any third party messaging applications from the market? I know that's a lot of questions, but they'll help me get you up and running with the answers.
    Thank you

  • Why can't I send text messages through my 2013 Honda Accord?

    It uses the Handsfreelink system, and is connected properly (seemingly at least) through Bluetooth. It will read the messages as I receive them, however it will not show the sender, and when I attempt to reply (when the vehicle is stopped) it says the message failed and prompts me to try again, which yields the same results.
    While I'm certainly not techno-savvy at all, I'm not completely moronic, but I cannot figure out why I'm unable to send a reply. The "call" feature works. The music works. Everything seems to be functioning fine, except replying to text messages.

    My experience has been that each dealership has an expert on making these systems work.  I'd find out who that is at your dealership.  Their name and direct phone number can really come in handy.  These systems always seem to be a bit finnicky, what with various device and system software updates occurring constantly.   

  • Why Can't I Send Text Messages in Group Conversati...

    I recently installed Skype 6 on my Mac OSX 10.9.2 but when I go to Skype and look at my group conversations in my history and click on it, it does not show any of the messages that other people have sent (only the times when people have called). It will not let me click call or the plus button because they are faded. It also wont let me click the textbox to type because it says: This is a legacy conversation from an old Skype client. Sending messages is not supported.
    Can anyone please tell me how to fix this problem? 
    Thank you,

    I can't do group text any longer either. Everyone else in my group call can. Some are on PC's and some on MAC's. I am using MAC OS 10.9.4 and have the latest version of Skype. Since I use it for business, I really need to find a fix for this and it seems that Skype support doesn't care. At least that's how it looks in the post threads. 

  • Why can't I send text messages from my Samsung s4?

    I have been unable to send a message all day. Can anyone help please.

    Because to send messages to non Apple devices you need to use SMS messaging which the iPad cannot do.
    SMS messaging is a carrier service based on the cellular carriers voice and text messaging channels.
    iPads, even cellualr ones do not have access to those channels and as such cannot message non Apple devices.

  • Why can I send a text message from my iPad mini from my contacts?

    I try to send a text message from my contact list on my ipad mini ,
    the contact name comes up in pink.....Can you tell me why?

    Hi,
    Because you are choosing an Contact ID (iPhone Number or Apple ID) that is either not registered or currently unavailable.
    A iPhone away from WiFi connection may also be out of range of it's Cell/mobile Service. (Or Switched Off or in Airplane Mode).
    An iPad may not be on a Wifi Network  at present. (or run out of Power)
    You may know a Buddy's email and it may also be an Apple ID but that does not mens that they have "registered" it for iMessages.

  • Why can't i send text messages to those who don't have apple products?

    I am unable to send text messages to those who don't have apple products.  Can someone help with how to do this?  I know imessages don't work to them, but I should still be able to text them.  Help?

    Hi there!
    If you want to send text messages on your iPad, you may be talking about the recent Continuity Feature. To do this you will also need an iPhone connected to the same wi-fi network.
    On your iPhone:
    Go to Settings
    Then to Messages
    Then 'Text Message Forwarding'
    Turn on the device you want to send a text message, in your case your iPad.
    Your phone should ask a code that it sent to your iPad. In the box type in the code that shows up on your iPad and press Allow.
    You should be good to go.
