Why can't I send sms messages from my iPad anymore?

on one of the updates Apple did they changed it to where sms messages (green bubbles) could be sent from an iPad. I had done it several times however now when I try it the contact shows up in red and it won't let me send anything!

You will have to be a lot more specific about the issue you are having if you expect to get any help.  What exactly is happening?

  • 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 not send mms messages on my iPad???

    I can't send mms messages on my I pad???

    Not likely,
    An ipad is not a cellular phone even if it has a cellular module, that module is for data only so sms/mms messaging is not available to an ipad with using a third party app that transfers the messages from voip to cellular phone networks.
    So messages on an ipad is an Apple only protocol and only works to other Apple users that have also registered their devices with messages, attempting to send to a user with a different device (android for example) will simply fail.

  • 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:

  • How do i send sms messages from my mac to a phone

    the gurl from apple said i could send sms messages from my imac to a phone. How do i di that?

    Hi Lanny,
    Actually those two pics don't tell you what you need to know.
    The First is correct as it can be from the Messages app but the second goes to no way to tell you how to do and b fact does not even mention SMS messages.
    @ 10411
    You will need to have an AIM or AIM Valid name that you can add to the Messages > Preferences > Accounts at the + icon below the list.
    Next the Mac need to be in the United States.
    Go to System Preferences > Language and Text and set the Region to the Untied States.
    (In iChat this added SMS items to some of the Menus in iChat)
    The iPhone has to be on a Carrier that is in the United States   See list
    Which in turn means the phone number is a United States one (+1 country code)
    This means you add the Cell/mobile number as if it were a Buddy to an AIM list.
    So Creating an Address Card for "SMS Test" and adding the mock number +1234567890 to that I get this in Messages  (Mousing over the Name to see the "Screen Name" which is the number in this case)
    Basically this is a feature that iChat has always had since AIM included a link to SMS to certain Phones.
    Messages does everything iChat did/does and this includes SMS Messaging via an AIM Buddy list even though in this case the Menu items has disappeared.
    AS has been said there are also other methods.

    You can send iMessages to other iOS devices, like iPad, iPhone, etc. Furthermore, the other iDevices users must have set up their iMessage.

  • 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.

    Most likely your carrier has not enabled texting on your phone.
