I try to text friend of mine who has a Samsung Device, but it shows the message was sent but it never says delivered!! The sending bar is always went across the screen all the way but it don't ever deliver it!!  Please help I would like to text her!!

Why don't you call your carrier or your friend's carrier.  SMS is sent via cellular data.

    Why can't iPad mini send text to non apple users????? I wish I knew this before purchase

    iMessage is from Apple to communicate with other Apple devices.
    iPad is not a phone and does not have SMS/MMS services from a carrier. There are apps that can do this, search the App Store.

  • Why won't my phone send text messages but I can receive them?

    I have the iphone 5 and I updated my phone to the ios7. Within the past few days I have not been able to send text messages as imessages but I can receive them. When I try to send a message it will freeze at 95% and it wont go through. I even have 5 bars and I am connected to wifi when I send them. I reset my network settings but there was no change. Is there a way to fix this? A few of my friends have also expereinced this problem.

    From my original reply, "Why did you change your SIM card?" Did you change carriers, was there a problem with the original SIM, did you change plans?
    The iPhone has no settings for SMS. SMS is a carrier feature, call them back and have them check the provisioning on your account. If this SIM change caused the problem, it has nothing to do with the phone.

  • Why won't my iPhone send messages to another non-iPone?

    My iPhone will send A text message to another iPhone, but fails when a message is sent to any non-iPhone. Help?

    Check Settings>Messages, turn Send As SMS to On.  If it's already on you may want to check with your carrier to be sure that your messaging plan is properly provisioned.

  • Why won't Verizon iPhone send iMessage when on call and Wifi?

    I am new to Verizon and am aware of the simultaneous voice and data limitation, however I was under the impression that wifi would work normally while on a phone call, and it does.
    However I am finding that when on a phone call, and successfully on wifi, iMessages do not get sent. They fail.
    Anyone else get this? Can you please test it?
    I have a iphoen 5 on 6.0.1 already BTW but have no idea if it happened before with 6.0.

    He is correct. All data is in one giant pool once you are on Wifi. The prioritization is first come first serve, unless the phone is implementing some sort of QoS at the packet level, which is very unlikely. This is the same way a full computer works, everyone sends their data broken up into small packets (Each packet is ~1k in size at maximum.)  All of those packets just go into a queue in the order they were sent, and the modem handles sending them out.
    The question is if iMessage is really going over the standard data routing, or if they are still using some sort of SMS wrapper. If its just data, it shoud send/recieve without issue regardless of what other data applications are running.

    Why is it that when sending text messages, sometimes they go through in blue and sometimes in green?  What does that mean ?
    My second question is, at times after sending a text it says:  Sent as a text message.....I'm thinking, really? that's what I thought I sent in the first place !
    Some one please help me out.......

    Hi JoFan0465,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    Good question! 
    Blue messages are iMessage conversations (Apple's messaging service)
    Green messages are SMS - standard text messages. 
    SMS is the acronym for Short Message Service.
    MMS is the acronym for Multimedia Message Service (audio, pictures, video can be added to messages).
    With MMS turned on, you will see a little camera icon in the bottom left corner of your screen when you are in the Messages app.  Also you will see the word iMessage where you type your text.
    The link below will explain more:
    Apple - iOS 6 - Messages with iMessage, for unlimited texting.
    See the iPhone User Guide - pgs. 64-66 to learn more about Messages:
    manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    The article that you referenced, iOS: Using Messages explains all of the parameters and requirements for sending messages on your iPhone.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!

  • Why won't my iphone 6 64gb phone or my iphone 5 ever get 3g or 4g?  It always only shows LTE

    Why won't my iphone 6 64gb phone or my iphone 5 ever get 3g or 4g?  It always shows LTE instead of 4g.  I will be sitting next to someone with the same phone and service and they have 4g and I have LTE.

    Yup, you want LTE all the time.   As Loquat  stated, LTE = 4G
    when you are sitting next to someone and the phone says 4G, it is a ATT or T mobile connection.  They have fake or faux 4G that is a step down from LTE.  It really is 3G+ but they came up with the fake 4G.  This is why Verizon put LTE to indicate it is real 4G technology, not hype.
