Another thing you can try is to ensure that the setting for ( send as sms if imessage unavailable ) is turned on, this can be found in Settings : Messages. If this doesnt work you can also try changing the contact details to read mobile instead of iphone.
That setting is not relevant to sending SMS messages to non-iPhones. It only affects what happens when an iMessage won't go through to an iOS device. And, what the phone number is labeled has no effect on anything. You could create a custom label "Rutabaga" and the SMS would still go through if the account was properly provisioned. Those labels are for human brain convenience only.

Under Settings - Messages, do it state Sens SMS ON? Should be (this applies to imessage but just in case).
Same area, MMS Messaging is on? Should be.
If all else fails, go into Settings General Reset - Reset Network Settings (this will lose WiFi info but fixes a lot of messaging errors). -
Why can't I send or receive text messages to some users from my iPad mini while there is no problem texting them from my iPhone?
With the Apple iMessage app, You can only Message with other iOS users - iPads, iPod Touch, iPhone users and Macs running Mountain Lion or higher. With your iPhone, you can send standard SMS text messages to any phone, including Android phones.
The iPad cannot send SMS messages or receive them either. -

Why can't I send and receive text messages on my new 5c ?
I can send imessages. I can sometimes send texts. But I cannot ever send picture texts. and I am not receiving texts.Antny,
Yikes, this is no bueno let's get these messages back up and flowing. Are you able to send out regular text messages ok? Ensure your Picture Messages feature is turned on, follow these steps: Settings>Messages>MMS Messaging. Also ensure Send as SMS is turned on as well. If these features are turned on then try this: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings then retest. Keep us posted please.

Make sure that MMS is turned on in Settings. Sometimes that can get turned off during an update, if you recently did that. Next try would be a reset. If that doesn't help, then contact the carrier, as SMS and MMS are carrier specific functions.

I cannot send or receive text messages from other iPhone users. I don't get an error I just don't receive any messages and the other users do not receive mine.
Reset the devices: Hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go.

New iphone 4S doesn't let me send/receive text messages to non-iPhone users...how can I change this?
wondering if it is due to a brief stop in service but I am not receiving messages from non-iPhone contacts and not allowing me to send--even though it appears as I sent a text--recipients are not getting the texts I send IF they do not have an iPhone...what to do to change this?
Contact your carrier and make sure that your account is properly set up for texting.

On or after January 1, 2013 (that was the last day that it worked), I lost the ability to text pictures to a non-iPhone user. Can you help, because my daughter misses the pictures. If it matters, I am on AT&T and my daughter on Verizon Wireless.
99.9% of the time, if you can send/receive SMS's, & MMS is turned on in settings, the problem rests with your carrier, not your phone. So, call your carrier & have them reset MMS for your account. MMS is a carrier feature & must be properly provisioned to work.

How do I send photos via text message to non-iPhone users?
I can send photos to only iPhone users, but not other phones. WHAT'S GOING ON?
Do you have MMS messaging turned on? Does your plan allow for MMS messaging? Are you using T-Mobile in the US? T-Mo's US network is not fully compatible with the iPhone and MMS messaging may not work.

I can no longer send or receive text messages on my iphone 3g.
Any suggestions? I have version 4.2.1 installed.
Try a hard reset, hold down the sleep and home buttons, ignore the red Off slider, wait for the Apple logo, let the buttons go.

Cannot send or receive photo messages from non iPhone users .
MY sister is having same issue with her phone no new updates overnight I could use this feature yesterday have tried everything I can think of please help
(Insert fact!) Nothing that KiltedTim provided you was incorrect. While your device may have needed and responded to a reset (which there is no such definition in iPhone troubleshooting as a hard reset), what he provided is still true. MMS is a carrier feature, and is controlled by their settings.

Most likely your carrier has not enabled texting on your phone. -
Picture messaging via text messages to non-iPhone users.
Hi I have an iPhone 4 with bell, I am unable to send pictures via text message/to non-iPhone users. I've been able to send them before using wifi, but not now. I've tried turning off iMessage, resetting network settings, mms on SMS on, I don't have data but wifi always worked before hand. I've tried sending to iPhones using text message, to HTC, and a blackberry but neither work and I cannot receive from the black berry nor HTC, please help, this is frustrating.
MMS is a carrier feature, so make your queries to Bell.
