Will iMessage deliver to recipients iMessage through email address if their phone off etc..?

Most discussions keep saying it will revert to SMS but that is only when iMessage is sent to cell #. With email method it just sits not showing delivered message.
Will it deliver once they turn on their phone or come into range or should I delete it and just try sending it later?
Also my friend has read receipts on and all along we were texting (iMessage ) by cell#. Then one day she sent by the email address instead. I get those read receipts but suddenly if I imessge to her cell# I never get the read receipt eventhough it shows delivered. I don't think she ever got the message to her. Cell#. That method of imessaging her used to work like a charm.
I find with the iMessages to email address , during instant chat it will take 10 min for me to get her message after seeing the three typing dots.
Any explanations for these issues?

correction... it is 'receive at'.. not 'receive from'..

  • Why can't I copy contacts' email address from their name card in lync 2010

    so here is the issue I have, when I need to copy someone's email addresses or their phone numbers, normally I will find them on lync, move the cursor on them, and their name card will show up, then I move cursor to their email address or their phone numbers,
    right click it, there will be an option to "copy", right? but sometimes, right clicking doesn't work. that copy option just won't pop up, this issue happens randomly, I need to restart lync, then it will work again. Also, there is one thing
    that's weird, after I restart lync, whatever I have copied in the clipboard will disappear, like if I press ctrl+c to copy something from word, then this issue happened, I restart lync, I can copy information in lync name card again, but all that
    content I copied does not exist in clipboard anymore, I press ctrl+v, there is nothing coming out.
     this is not a big problem, but it's really annoying, does anyone know why this issue happen and how to permanently? I tried to reinstall, does not work.
    this issues happens with both lync 2010 32 bit on 32 bit win7 and lync 2010 64 bit on win7 64 bit.

    Hi,
    Please try to delete Lync user profile and information in registry.
    The path of Lync user profile: <user profile>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Communicator\
    The path of Lync information in registry: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Communicator\[email protected]
    Please also make sure Lync client update to the latest version.

    You might want to try contacting Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click See All Products and Services>iTunes>iTunes Store>Passwords & Security Questions>Lost or Forgotten Apple ID password.  They should be able to explain what's going on and help you reset the password for the old ID if necessary.  The call should be free.

  • HT3529 Will iMessage send messages to non Apple phones? If so, is it automatic or do I have to keep changing settings?

    Will iMessage send messages to non Apple phones? If so, is it automatic or do I have to keep changing settings?

    If the recipient does not have an iOS device (or Mac) with iMessage activated on it, then it will send as SMS or MMS as appropriate. You don't need to change any settings.
    The only time you'll run into an issue is sending to someone who used to have an iDevice and neglected to turn off iMessage when they got something else. They will have to address that so that you don't have to forcibly send messages as SMS/MMS.

  • Does IMessage turn off when someone turns their phone off?

    If you both have IMessage and they turn their phone off will it automatically revert them back to text message instead or should their Imesssage icon still be available?

    Even if you select Shutdown and then close the lid before it is able to it will go into sleep mode. This is normal and has been consistent for quite a long time. Even though it is in the process of shutting down the system is still running while it happens so will respond to certian actions until it actually does… like asking it to sleep (by closing the lid). All you need to do is wait a few seconds for it to shutdown before closing the lid.

  • My icloud and Apple ID aren't the same email address. My phone wont let me change my icloud email. I don't know the password to my icloud account, and every time I try to email myself the password, it doesn't go through.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Your Apple ID and iCloud email address don't need to be the same, you can't change an iCloud email address.
    Also check your Mail rules and filtering, the verification mail may be going to a junk folder or even being deleted altogether. You may also wish to contact your mail provider to see if their spam filters are removing the email before it gets to you.

  • Text message is showing sent from my email address instead of phone number

    I just reset all my settings on my Iphone 4s and now when I send text messages my friends say it is coming from my email address not my phone number. Why is that? Any advice on how to get it back to normal (from my number not email?)
    Thanks in advance!!!

    I assume your phone is using your phone number. Select an E-Mail also. Under the Select Area a new Area should show up offering to choose whether to use the number or the E-Mail to start new conversations. Pick the Phone number. Go to iMessage and start new conversations.

  • TS4268 My friend just got iPhone 5.  His texts now show up as his email address not his phone number.  Whats wrong?

    My Friend just got iPhone 5.  His texts to me now show up as an email address not his phone number.  Whats wrong?  when I text to him via his # they sent as a text not iMessage. Help I dont like to have two contacts.

    It has to do with his settings in iMessage. His iMessage has to be activated and it has to show his phone # as the "start conversation from".

  • Someone is using my personal email address for their apple ID and I'm sick of it! I can't sign up for my own itunes account or anything using MY OWN email address. My email address is my property, not theirs.

    Someone is using my personal email address for their apple ID and I'm sick of it! I can't sign up for my own itunes account or anything using MY OWN email address. My email address is my property, not theirs.
    I'm using their account and will continue to reset their password and settings until they either get the message or Apple do something about it and disable or migrate their account so that I can use MY OWN email address for my own purposes.
    I don't want to be informed about Apple products and services for someone else on my email account.
    I want to be able to use it MYSELF for iTunes
    All I am asking you to do is migrate their apple ID to their alternate email account settings and free up my email address so that:
    A. I can use it and B. I stop getting messages about their account history.
    Either that or just cancel their account as they have no right to use my personal details.
    Yes I could set up a new email address but WHY THE **** should I? I've been using this email account for years for personal stuff, it's not mu fault if someone can sign it up as an AppleID without me being able to confirm their sign up process!
    Your move Apple, make it count.

    Hi Sister Kate,
    If you change the Apple ID you are using on an iPhone or other iOS device, there are several places you need to change it on the device. See this article -

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • When I send a text message it shows up as coming from my email address not my phone, can i change this

    when I send a text message it shows up as coming from my email address not my phone, can i change this

    another way to change it is :
    go to settings -> phone -> my number (iput your phone number)
    and then do what razmee209 said,
    after you change it, your phone number will authenticate with the operator that you use,
    I hope this could help you,

  • HT5624 Someone I don't know is using my email address as their Apple ID to sign and purchase apps ect and I keep getting notifications in my emails. How do I stop them from using my email address????????

    Someone I don't know is using my email address as their Apple ID to sign and purchase apps ect and I keep getting notifications in my emails. How do I stop them from using my email address????????

    If a person is using your email address, you should change your email password and make sure there aren't any forwards to some strange email address.
    An example if you were using gmail, under account settings, a forward can be set up to send messages to another email address.
    If your email address is say, you own domain, such as somename@somename dot com, make sure the forwards are forwards you set up.
    If your email account was hacked and the bad guy has access, you need to cut him off, first by changing the password and second cut off any message forwarding to the bad guy if he set it up.  Just changing the password would keep a bad guy out, but if the bad guy set up a forward, he will still get your email.
    A confirmation from Apple would have come to your email address in order to confirm that Apple ID.  If you are getting the other person's purchase notifications, you would have gotten a confirmation of that account from Apple.

  • I have an I pad2, an iMac desktop and an I phone 5, how do I get them all to be bale to face time with each other, do I need different email addresses, use the phone number, or the sim number in the iPad ? Ay help gratefully received !!

    I have an I pad2, an iMac desktop(2012) and an I phone 5, how do I get them all to be able to face time with each other, do I need different email addresses, use the phone number, or the sim number in the iPad ? Any help gratefully received !!

    Graham,
    For the iPad, iMac you need to create verifyible e-mail addresses created with one of the providers such as Yahoo, Gmail,etc.  For the iphone you should use it's phone number, but an e-mail could be used for it too.  If you want to associate these e-mail addresses with a single ID, I'm including a link to give you info about how you can do that. Read it carefully, as it can be a bit confusing.

  • There's a email address in my phone how do I can be it

    There's a email address in my phone and it's wrong ow do I change it

  • Does facetime use the email address or the phone number to make a call

    Does facetime use the email address or the phone number to place a call

    Depends on what the receiver has set up on his or her device.
    Also depends on the device. iPhone uses the number, iPad, iPod touch uses Email. But can be set up for phone number too if the person has an iPhone.
    Hope this helps.
