Why can't I receive sms on skype?

I paid for skype credit specifically so that I could send and recieve texts. Why can't people return skype texts? I would not have paid for the service if I knew it was only for sending, since you can send text messages for free online!

I also want to know the answer to this question. I'm willing to buy a Skype ONLINE NUMBER if it means that I can recieve return SMS.
You can't receive SMS messages with Skype's Online Numbers.
In most countries, these Online Numbers are either "landline" or some other special Voice-over-IP class of number, not a mobile number. If you have a mobile number set up as Caller ID with your Skype account, SMS messages can be sent from Skype and carry that mobile number as the "sender" of the message. Replies would then go to the mobile number, not to Skype.

Try going to setting->general->reset-> reset network settings. And see if that works.
You may also want to contact your carrier and see if there is anything funny going on with your profile.
Best of luck let me know if this helps.

I have an ipad mini 16G wifi - why can't I send SMS txt msg and only imessages? On the settings, there is no option for "send SMS when imessage not available" like on my iphone.

Why can't I send SMS messages from my ipad mini 16g wifi?

Even when your iPad Mini has a 3G cellular modem onboard, the iPad Mini still can NOT send or receive SMS Text messages.
The 3G modem is only used for a internet data connection and has no software to either send or receive SMS text messages even though the hardware is available.
I can confirm this with the iPad Mini iOS6.1 with 3G cellular modem.
Apple Support has this issue currenlty under investigation - you can follow this issue here:

Why can't I receive messages from a Droid phone on my IPad?..

SMS is part of cellular voice communication.
iPads do not do voice over cellular.
iMessage is Apple devices only.
If you want to send and receive SMS you will have to download an app from the store, such as text+.

Do I really have to have my LTE/3G data enabled in order to send/receive group text messages???? YES.
If so, that's a complete waste of my data package as far as I'm concerned. ... I'm not sure why I can't send/receive group text messages as plain texts????
Group messages are considered MMS, not SMS. MMS is transmitted over the cellular (data) network. It does NOT use your data plan, it uses your texting allowance. But data DOES need to be enabled to send and receive group and picture texts.

Hi Nortarian,
The article below will walk you through the troubleshooting steps for email on your iPad:
iOS: Unable to send or receive email
If you are unable to send or receive email, try the following steps:
Restart the iOS device.
Tap Safari and attempt to load a webpage to ensure that the device has Internet access. If you're unable to load a webpage, try the Wi-Fi assistant.
Try an alternative Internet connection.
If your email is provided by your Internet provider, try connecting from the home network.
If your iOS device has an active cellular data plan, try to disable Wi-Fi: Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn off Wi-Fi.
If not, try a different Wi-Fi network.
Log in to your email provider's website to ensure that the account is active and the password is correct.
Delete the account from Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and then add the email account again on the iOS device.
Hope this helps ....

Can't send an SMS on Skype 5.0

If you have a Skype name AND a cell number associated with a contact, the new version of Skype only lets you send an IM to the Skype account - it doesn't let me pick SMS to the cell number any more.
You do realise that you are losing revenue now you have screwed that feature up?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Sending SMS to s stored phone number / mobile number for a Skype contact is currently not supported in Skype 5.0 for iPhone. There's a workaround though: Save the phone number from the dialpad as a separate contact and you can continue to send SMS from Skype. Hope that helps

Why can't i receive an i-message from an i-phone user?

Why can't I receive/send i-messages? If recieve them, they go through text-plus. I can only send messages to certain people.

Look at the Contact Info for the person you are trying to message under "Contacts". If their number is listed under "Mobile" and not "iPhone" then it won't let you contact them. All you have to do is list the number as an iPhone number. You can only recieve and send messages to/from people with an iOS device.

Why can't I receive gmail on my mac

Why can't I receive anything on my gmail account on my mac, but I can on my phone which is Galaxys 5?

You're using Apple's Mail as your email client, I'm assuming?
Your settings should be:
For your incoming IMAP server; Incoming server “map.gmail.com” with the default port of “993” and using SSL to connect.
For your outgoing server; “smtp.gmail.com” with the post assignation of “465” using SSL to connect and using authentication with your user name and password.
I know that these settings work in Apple’s Mail for me (although I don’t use it regularly - I prefer Microsoft’s Outlook).
Check your settings again on your client and also on the gmail server.
Good luck,
Clinton

If you're talking about not being able to see your spam folder, you can. In your mail app you see each account listed twice. When you explore the bottom list you can access your folders in your mail accounts and should be able to see the spam folders.
