Why my iPhone 4 wont send SMS from apps

i installed "Faces Visual Photo Dialer" app (tried other apps) and when i am sending txt messages, i still have to go into  the original messages and send it from there.
why cant it send the SMS directly, as it should.
thanx

Then ask them too. It sounds like the Messages app is working fine. I'm not ever sure 3rd party apps should be able to interact with it in the way you expect. If the developer(s) say it should, then contact them.

  • Overseas. iPhone 4S wont send sms

    My husband is in the Philippines on business. He can make and receive calls from home numbers in Australia on his iphone 4s but he cannot sms, only receive them. This has also happened once before in Thailand, on the same phone. Any help would be great.

    SMS is regulated by your husband's cellular carrier.  He (or you) should contact the cellular carrier and ask about this.  Here's how to contact them:

  • My iphone 4 wont send photos from my pictures

    My iphone will not sent pictures to email

    Hey Brendan!
    iPhones do not by default always have picture messaging enabled, as not all wireless carrier plans include picture messages (also called MMS).
    Make sure that in Settings > Messages that MMS Messaging is on.  At that point, pictures should start sending just fine!
    If that does not work, contact your carrier, as at that point it would be possible that you are not 'provisioned' (signed up for) picture messaging (MMS), at which point your carrier will need to either sign you up for it (messaging rates apply) or to reprovision you for it, basically turn picture messaging off on your account, and turn it back on, sometimes fixing issues like this.
    If this does not work, call Applecare!

    Try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    If that does not resolve, SMS is a carrier feature, contact the carrier.

  • IPhone wont send email from a certain mail account

    I know the settings are right, but the iPhone wont send mail from one of my mail accounts (hosted by the company i work for, which offers mail hosting as a service, and has hundreds of other iPhone users with the same account settings.)
    The progress bar that indicates "sending" zips by suspiciously quickly when I hit Send, but there is no audio confirmation. Then the email is gone - its not in my Sent Items folder, and its not in the Drafts folder and its not in my broom closet.
    From what I understand, if one SMTP server isn't available, it should default to the AT&T SMTP server, but it apparently doesn't even get that far, because the phone must think it's sent the message, or it would end up in the Drafts folder (or Outbox, I can't recall), which is what I would normally experience if I had no service at the time I was sending the message. I have two other accounts that work normally on the iPhone. Nothing has been recently changed with the SMTP server in question, which works fine with all my other devices.
    I've tried:
    • deleting the account and re-adding it manually (four times)
    • deleting the account and syncing it with my computer (three times)
    • hard resetting the iPhone
    • ensuring that the primary SMTP server for this account is, in fact, switched to "On" in Settings->Mail, Contacts, and Calendars, <mail account>-->SMTP (which brings me to another question: how do I edit this list? Is it automatically populated by the accounts in my Mail app?
    • screaming from my back porch
    Ideas?
    Email Account type: IMAP
    Authentication type: MD5 with SSL
    Port: 587
    8GB 3G iPhone, Software version 2.2.1

    One thing that might help.
    If your primary server is hosted by your company, double check the outgoing settings.
    Host Name:
    Use SSL:
    Authentication:
    Server Port:
    If it zips through your primary server without effect, try turning the primary server off and one of the secondary on.
    If connected to Edge or 3G, you can use ATT's SMTP server.
    If issue still persists, then set up a gmail or yahoo account to test with.
    Both are free email services.
    If still fails, then general troubleshooting might help.
    Here are a couple of articles from the apple support website that might help out.

    You might need to reset and or restore the iphone to resolve any software issues.
    Hope this helps.

    Hello,
    Skype doesn't support receiving SMS messages.
    TIME ZONE - US EASTERN. LOCATION - PHILADELPHIA, PA, USA.
    I recommend that you always run the latest Skype version: Windows & Mac

    I can't send SMS (from Greece) with my iPhone 4 to USA. I mean that i send it but they don't receive it and i don't receive their SMS. Could please anybody help me?

    That's more likely to be a carrier issue than an iPhone issue. You should each contact your respective carriers.

  • My iphone 3gs wont send or recieve calls but sms is working

    My iphone 3gs wont send or recieve calls but sms is working.Signal is good & plenty of credit

    First step is to clean the iPhone charging port with a clean dry toothbrush, also use a bit of Isopropyll Alcohol, and clean especially the pins which are on top of the dock midrib.
    Let it dry for a minute. Then open iTunes on computer, then connect iPhone to computer, then hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone is recognized by iTunes in Recovery Mode. Usually about 20 seconds time of holding both buttons. Restore the iPhone Firmware.

    How to send sms from iPad via iphone?

    You don't easily.
    The pad, with I message turned on, will send text like messages to any other ios5 user that has I message turned on.
    The pad is not a phone, and does not have the radio to send 'real' SMS messages, which use the phone channel.
    There are a few apps in the store that will convert messages to SMS, for use with non apple folks.  Check out the app store.  Search SMS.

    Hey lozza567,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues sending MMS messages. The following resource may provide a solution:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2755
    Issues with sending and receiving MMS
    You will need these to send and receive MMS:
    - An iPhone 3G or later.
    - iOS 3.1 or later.
    - A cellular data connection. MMS isn't available if you are using only Wi-Fi.
    - A domestic MMS plan from your cellular provider. You may need an international messaging plan to send MMS to an international contact. Contact your carrier for more information.
    - A roaming MMS when using a cellular provider's network different from your billing cellular provider's network. Learn more about roaming and contact your carrier for more information.
    To resolve issues with sending and receiving MMS, follow these steps first
    1. Go to Settings and turn airplane mode off.
    2. Go to Settings > Messages and turn MMS Messaging on.
    3. Go to Settings > Cellular and turn Cellular Data on.
    4. Go to Settings > Cellular and turn Data Roaming on if you are roaming on a cellular provider network different from your billing provider's network.
    5. Verify that you have a cellular data connection in the status bar at the top left of your iPhone.
    6. Go to Settings and turn Wi-Fi off. Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify that you have a data connection. Turn Wi-Fi back on to continue using Wi-Fi for other features. If your cellular data connection isn't available, follow these steps.
    7. Verify that you can send and receive SMS. If you are unable to send and receive SMS, see the "Issues with sending and receiving SMS" section, above.
    8. MMS may not be available while on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn more about which network your phone supports.
    9. Restart your iPhone.
    10. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
    11. Reseat your SIM card.
    If you are still unable to send or receive MMS, follow these steps
    1. Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
    2. Go to Settings > Messages and turn on group messaging if you are sending a group message.
    3. Make sure that you are using the area code with the contact's phone number. When sending messages internationally, you also need the contact's international code.
    4. Verify a "Pay as you go" MMS plan has enough available balance. Contact your carrier if unsure of your MMS plan or available balance.
    5. If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
    6. If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and re-create the contact from the Contacts application. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
    7. Back up and restore your iPhone as new.
    8. If your carrier has recently ported your phone number, the porting process may not be complete. Contact your carrier to confirm that the porting process is complete.
    9. Contact your carrier to verify that you are provisioned to send SMS and are in an area with cellular coverage.
    10. Contact your carrier to verify that there are no blocks or filters placed on your wireless account preventing you from sending SMS.
    11. Your carrier may require APN settings to be modified to use MMS. Learn more about when you should adjust APN settings.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Iphone 4s text messages sms from Japan

    Hi! I use to travel oftenly to Japan. The issue is that I don't use japanese carrier.
    Before I used to use an Iphone 3GS, and with 3G turned ON and data roaming OFF, it was possible to send SMS from Japan.
    Now I'm using Iphone 4S and surprise: cannot send SMS from Japan. No way to change 3G, since this Iphone doesn't allow to turn on/off this. Anyone can help me? Any settings to change?
    Thank you!

    Autoreply for all those foreigners that need to send sms from Japan and are not Softbank or Docomo customers:
    Just turn on, in settings, cellular data
    Turn off data roaming
    Turn on 3G
    In this way you can send text messages while staying in Japan.
    My problem to send text yesterday was not due to the Iphone, but due to any kind of problem in the network
    Cheers
