Why does text show up as imessage or text whats the difference?

WHY DOES MY TEXT SHOW UP AS IMESSAGE WHICH IS BLUE OR TEXT IS GREEN OTHER TIMES

iMessage is free while the regular green text cost money.  You can text anyone, you can iMessage other iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad users.
If you are having iMessages being sent as texts, I would turn off the setting in Messages Setting, "Send as SMS".

  • HT3529 I'm sending an iMessage from my iPhone to another iPhone but the recipient phone does not receive message because not on wifi. Why does recipient iPhone not automatically receive in text messaging?

    I'm sending an iMessage from my iPhone to another iPhone but the recipient phone does not receive message because not on wifi. Why does recipient iPhone not automatically receive in text messaging?

    Wi-Fi is not required for iMessage. Internet access is required for iMessage which includes when the iPhone is connected to the cellular network.
    If an iMessage cannot be sent, it will fail to send and you will be prompted to send as an SMS if text only.

  • Why does firefox show up as a plugin on volume mixer?

    Why does firefox show up as a plugin on volume mixer? After updating a flash plugin into firefox (when it had requested me to update it), it no longer shows up as firefox in volume mixer. It now shows up as some plugin icon. I really don't understand this, and wish it to be the firefox icon again. What is going on and what happened? It names itself "Plugin Container For Firefox" What does that mean? It has been this way ever since, and nothing I have done has fixed this. Restarting, refreshing, reinstalling, clearing cache, etc. Can anyone think of something please? :(
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == This happened just a couple days ago (june 25, 2010 exactly)

    I have this, but my volume on firefox doesnt work at all

  • I have an iPod touch 4th gen. why does it show the wrong album art only on my ipod and not on itunes? Is there any way I can fix it?

    I have an ipod touch 4th gen. why does it show the wrong album artwork on my ipod and it's fine on itunes. why is that and is there any way to fix it? please help!

    I think it can't find the right or any artwork and ends up putting junk in there.
    And can happen with artist and other tags.
    probably fine with commercial media but otherwise....? I think you have to manaully go in and edit
    I also don't like how it handles and stores non-Apple iTunes store content.

  • Why does listener show +ASM1 as BLOCKED

    I did a lsnrctl status on the listener and it showed that +ASM1 status as BLOCKED. Why does listener show ASM instance as blocked? How does the agent connect to ASM instance if it is blocked?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I assume the ASM entry that you are showing refers to what should be in db_1/network/admin/tnsnames.ora?
    My tnsnames.ora does not have an ASM entry at all, and I am experiencing the same issue as the original poster. Should I add one and restart ?
    Thanks,
    Colm.

    What is telling you that it takes a long time? Do you have a good cellular signal when trying to send a text. Text messages are controlled by the carrier. What troubleshooting have you done on the phone?
