Why sometime sending a text message reads sent as text message instead of Delivered?

Why dose sent messages read as sent as text message instead of Delivered? and this person has an iPhone too

In order for a message to be sent as an iMessage, both parties have an active data connection. If one or both of you doesn't, then the message will be sent as a regular SMS (assuming you have it set that way). Only iMessages will give you the "Delivered" update. SMS do not.
Best of luck.

What is the difference between the green text bubble that reads "sent as text message" and the blue text bubble reporting "delivered?" Is the green text bubble not delivered?

iMessages are sent using Apple servers, using either WiFi or Cellular data. They can only be sent to/from iDevices or Macs that have the Messages app. SMS messages use the cellular network. Both methods can deliver the message to the recipient.

So my friend bought an iPod and she used my apple id because she knew my password and now all my messages get sent to her messages too. Is there a way to stop that?

Change your password.

Text message said Sent as text message not deilvered. did it get sent

When sending a text, I received a message "sent as text message" not the normal "delivered" Did it actually get sent?

Anything is possible. It's also possible that the person who received it deleted it by accident. Or, it's possible that they received it and are telling you they don't. I would say that the first is the least likely, though.

I live near Albany, NY but the reply to a message I sent shows my message as originating in China

1. I live near Albany, NY. Today I sent a message and got a reply that showed the date, time and place of the original message as follows: "On Tue, Apr 29, 2014 23:55 CST (China) Steven Schreiber wrote:

Thank you

Ask your email provider. Thunderbird connects to them and hands them the message. They route it through their servers.

I had the same question and problems. I tried the on and off thing, didn't work. I have an iphone 4 and it too doesn't show caller ID option in the Messages settings.
CallerID options are not in Settings> Messages. and that has nothing to do with how your messages are sent.
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive at and tick your phone number.
If you cannot see Send & Receive at, then you do not have iMessage set to On and you will only send/receive at your phone number.

Cannot sent photos via messaging

I have the Droid Charge, with the latest update (EE4). I've done a factory reset, hard reset/battery pull and just about everything else to solve this issue.
Messages being sent via the messaging client (text) with photos get hung up and I get an error message that the message failed to send. On occasion, the recipient says that the photo gets through; largely though, it doesn't get sent.
Anything else I can try? I have tried third party (handcent) messaging apps but have the same error.

Spoke to someone in the network engineering department who thought the issue was with the phone. Just got the new phone, set it up, and still have the same issues.
To recap. Photo (MMS) messaging works 90% of the time in 4G. In 3G or less, the phone hangs on "Sending," I get a general failure to send message and then the phone never closes the connection and continues to attempt to send the photo, draining the battery. Maybe 20% of the time, I get a general failure message and it goes through anyhow. If I attempt to send another MMS, I get "too many unsent multimedia messages" failure error.
Battery pulls have no effect on the phone's attempt to send the photo message, even hours later. This is a new phone, stock everything - I haven't even added my personal apps yet to see if it would work.
This occurs when the recipient is Verizon (tried on two Blackberrys, on Fascinte and one HTC Thunderbolt), Sprint (tried on Blackberry), AT&T (iPhone, Samsung Captivate).
Someone please help.

This feature only works with people who have iMessage on their iPhone. If you are sending a text to someone with a blackberry etc, you will not get the delivery messages.

I have one contact that I've been texting for months, about 5 hours ago, I started receiving an error that the text was not sent. However, if I text a picture and then text with the picture the message goes through. Why am I getting this error?

You can also try out few things >
1) check if the ipod constantly appears in mycomputer section .
- if it does try changing the drive letter of the ipod and try to format the ipod drive(Right click format)
2) if its not comin up in mycomputer then.. there has to be problem with the USB drivers in your computer
you can try

The best way to check whether the ipod is faulty or the computer is creating the problem is,
connect the ipod to a different computer which has itunes on it(If possible)

Why are the text messages people are sending to me also being sent to my sisters phone?

I just set up my new iPhone and as soon as people started sending me text messages, my sister realized that they were also being sent to her iPhone. She can read my text messages as well as reply to them. This is a problem because she can read all of my messages, and when she replies to my messages, my friends think that the message is from me! Please help me fix this ASAP!

are you using imessage ?

Why are my group text messages being sent as pictures

My group text messages are being sent as pictures or images and I don't know why. It just started happening, I've sent them before without to the same people without this happening. I can sent text messages to each person individualy and they are delivered as text. Is there some setting I can change?

HI. I had the same thing the other day. I sent a link to 40 people and got charged for 40 picture messages. I phoned my network provider and they said it is an apple fault (iphone).
If you send a group 'Text' to more than 6 people, the iphone somehow marks it as a MMS or picture message. I get free texts and was shocked to be charged, but they did look into my messages and could see it was not an image and refunded me.
If they are right, its an apple problem. Can anyone shed sme light on this?

You can't send SMS or text messages to a non-Apple phone (such as an Android, Windows, or BlackBerry phone), because the messages are sent as iMessage

Yes, you can. I do it many, many times a day. If you're trying to send a message to someone who used to have an iPhone and who didn't disable iMessage before switching phones, they will need to unregister their number with iMessage:

You also need to have SMS enabled with your carrier to send messages to non-iPhones.
