Will an iphone 4S voice read back to me a response to a text message?
I can send a text with voice control but can the 4S read to me the response on the phone. Phone is being used by a blind person and SIRI will be very helpful but someone told me that SIRI will not read a text response.
Go to Settings, General, Accessibility and go under Vision. Turn on Speak Selection. I believe that requires a bit of sight to be able to select the text area.
To get Siri to read back a text message, I believe you have to turn on Preview, and after that when a text message comes in, you can active Siri to "read last text message". I believe that is the only setting you need for Siri.

I have the iphone 4 and just updated to iOS 6 and all my text messages are gone. Can I get them back?
Group messaging simply puts all replies in one conversation in Messages. It doesn't prevent the behavior you experienced.
My suggestion which would be much easier in my opinion, is rather than do a text, send out an email and use bcc: , which will keep the audience hidden from each recipient.
Otherwise, if you're determinted to do only texts, the only way is to send your message to one person at a time. You can of course copy/paste your msg each time which might be helpful. -
I have tried to send photos through text messaging and it will not send. I thought my iPhone 3 was giving out so I got my iPhone 4 last night and still can't send photos through text message. What is the deal??
Also MMS is supported on a carrier by carrier basis. While mostly every carrier does support ths feature make sure that your carrier allows this functionality.

i have 2 iphones on the same account and all of a sudden my text messages are also appearing on the other phone. i haven't changed any setting
you most likely have imessage on both iphones and sending/receiving to same number on one of the iphones. go to settings messages > send and receive > check the numbers/emails on both iphones. once you uncheck the numbers/emails you dont want you will not be getting the messages any more. a little bit more info is helpful read this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538.

On previous iPhones you could go to settings and block the the actual text message from pooping up. Only the sender would show up. On the i4gs the sender and message show up. This is a major flaw as far as privacy. There are no options with in settings to stop this from happening. PLEASE TELL ME IM WRONG ???
YOU ARE WRONG.
Go to Settings > Notifications > Messages. You can turn Notifcation Center off for Messages, or select None for the alert style, and turn Show Preview off, and view in Lock Screen on or off. -
Where did my photo stream pictures disappear to after I backed up my iphone4s to retrieved deleted text messages. I need them back to my phone.
Or ask in the iTunes forum which you use to backup iPhone contents.

HI, I recently upgraded my operating system IOS 5.0.1 on an iphone 3gs. My question is, how do I get the text messaging preview to just pop up so that I can see the name only when the lock screen is on? The conventional ways of doing this, such as using turning off the SMS preview under the "passcode lock", well that option no longer exists, or if it does, I'm somehow missing it.
When I go to the "messages" setting under settings on my phone, I still don't see an option of turning it off.
If I can just get the name of the person sending the message, as I had it before, I'd be happy.
Help!That option still exists in Settings > Notifications > Messages > Show Prview (OFF) and View in Lock Screen (ON). Here's how to configure your Notifications and Notification Center for iOS 5: http://iphone-and-i.blogspot.com/2012/01/how-to-customize-notification-center-in .html

I Have purchase an iPhone 6plus and currently own a Droid Phone. I don't want to lose my text messages, will my backup to Verizon Cloud ensure this transfer?
Wondershare Mobile Transfer works! Everything on your droid phone including text messages can be transferred to your IPhone! I just completed a transfer from my Droid 4 to an Iphone6+! I am so very happy! Make sure you have iMessages enabled on your IPhone before starting transfer and all your text history is brought into iMessage. Please Verizon Customer Service tell all your customers about this easy solution. I spent over 13 hours with Verizon Customer Service to be told it couldn't happen. NOTE: Verizon Message will only sync with messages created after it is installed (no history will ever appear on another device prior to Verizon Message install) as I was misinformed that downloading this to my droid would enable my IPhone to see those messages.

My iphone 4 is about a month old ad it continues to send multiple repeat texts message to the point where I have stop sending texts because everyone is annoyed with me, is there a solution that anyone knows of? I am hearing from sprint that it is apple's issue and from apple it is a sprint issue. They said I can take it to the store but its one month old and I find it hard to beleive that they do not have an easier solutions, i dont have time to or the patience to give up my phone for three days. This can't be right correct? If anyone has founf a solution I would really appreciate some help as Im sure you can hear I am frustrated.
thank youIt is a sprint issue and other carriers have that same problem. I get multiple copies of texts from other carriers all the time to my iphone. It isn't the iphone, it is the carrier sending the text message several times because they haven't received and ack message from the recepient.

It was the strangest thing. You would think that once you delete a message off your phone it is gone.
But in the "search iPhone" feature several key numbers like an area code reveal phone numbers of people
who aren't in my contact list, specifically the first few words of text messages that I deleted long ago.
I would like to eliminate these once and for all.
Will "Erase Content and settings" do this for good? Once I restore the phone will they come back?
Thanks.

Is there a way to see/print ALL text messages exchanges from my previous phone (Blackberry Storm) to iPhone4 3G? I want to be able to print ALL text messages from 2 lines on my account. Thank you.
If they are still stored on your phone, with the BB you may be able to print them; if not natively, you may be able to download an app that will do that. Offhand, I'm not familiar with one, but google may help. -The iPhone may have an app that will allow this as well. Two to three YEARS? That' s a lot of texting!!

My husband and i have our iphones set up. He is getting all my text messages that are coming through to my phone, how can i elminate this problem? Does it have anything to do with out icloud?
Well, you use the different accounts such Phone Numbers, email addresses. And make sure that your iPhones have no receipient address in common, then you can avoid this issue.
I use iMessage on my iPhone, iPad, MacBook Pro, iPod touch.
Each of them has a individual address to receive messages, so they won't combine all the messages among all the devices.
Try this, if it doesn't work, tell me, I'll figure another way out. -
