IPhone 4 :: Sending IMessages Through Apple ID And Not Phone Number?
Dec 3, 2014So this question is actually about my friends iPhone 4... She and I text on a daily basis and we use iMessages. As of two days ago, every time I sent her an iMessage, it would fail and I would have to send it as a text message. Well we finally figured out it was because her iMessages were turned off (probably by her 2 year old daughter.) So she turned them back on and she sent me an imessage. But when she sent the imessage and I received it, I received the message from her apple id, not her phone number which is what I normally receive her messages from. Her and I can't figure out how to change it back to her phone number..

IPhone :: Can't Send IMessages To Contacts Containing Both An Email And A Phone Number
Mar 27, 2012iPhone 3GS
model: MC637C
iOS version: 5.1 (9B176)
This issue started with the last iOS update and has affected not only my phone, but my wife's and father in law's as well (we all have the exact same model) When I attempt to send a text message to my wife, my phone suddenly won't send imessages anymore. Only text. I have tried rebooting my phone, and my wife's phone. We have even tried wiping our phones and restoring them from backups. The problem still persists, wether we are at home connected to wifi or out of the house on 3G. The only way I have managed to send my wife an imessage was by creating a new contact with ONLY her e-mail address. That only worked once. since then, its trying to send everything as SMS again.
This is unacceptable as we live in an area with very poor celular coverage and rely heavily on wifi connections, therefore we won't receive an SMS until our phones get access to the celular network. All other apps and phone functions are working correctly across all 3 phones mentioned. On both my phone, and my wife's, I have double checked to ensure that iMessage is still turned on. I suspect that this is a global software issue seeing as it only started once we updated our phones to the latest iOS. My question is this:
Prior to the update, we were all able to send iMessages to eachother, regardless of where we were. The only time we'd have an issue is if someone's phone was turned off or not connected to either the celular 3G network or a wifi with internet access (which is natural).

IPhone :: Would Previously Sent IMessages (old Messages) Show Up On Another If The Same Phone Number Is Used
Jul 6, 2012recently, I used my uncles iphone 4 to imessage my friends. my uncle recently decided to give it to me and get himself the new iphone 4s. Since its from out of country, we went to unlock the iphone 4 and got rid of the old sim card and he got a new sim card with the old phone number (same number for iphone 4). my problem is that im scared he'll be able to receive my old and new imessages. I had deleted them on his old iphone and reset the whole thing twice.the problem is that on the old iphone, I did input my own apple ID to send messages, but I realized later on that it was using the PHONE NUMBER as the CALLER ID. Sure the messages still synced into my iPod 4g and back and forth.
I heard that sometimes, two iphones that had the same sim card or phone number tend to send to each other messages as if it was one phone and that concerns me. Is it possible that when he activates his new iPhone, the old imessages would show up on his phone as syncing? I really don't want him to get his hands on my old messages. I heard that sometimes, two iphones that had the same sim card or phone number tend to send to each other messages as if it was one phone and that concerns me. btw both phones have the new iOS 5.1.1

IPhone 5s :: IMessages Not Sending To Just One Person?
Aug 29, 2014I don't know what's happened, but for some reason my iPhone 5 has stopped sending iMessages to my boyfriend (the person I iMessage the most), it simply just says 'delivered' on my iPhone but they're not actually sending to him. It's working perfectly fine for everyone else.Â
I've reset my network settings and still nothing, what else can I do? Switch off iMessage and back on again? Not being able to text (iMessage) him is going to be a problem.Â

IPhone 5 :: Keeps Missing Calls And Sending IMessages?
Jun 20, 2014for the past five days my iphone 5 has been acting funny. My friend called me three times before I actually heard a ring and picked up. He told me that he kept calling, but I wasn't hearing anything. Afterwards, when I looked at my phone history, it says I had indeed missed a bunch of calls. The next day he tells me the same thing, except with Facetime. When I look at my history, it says "Facetime answered on another advice." It says this multiple times, especially when I do not hear my phone ringing. I do not have facetime on any other device besides my iphone 5.Â
At first I thought it meant that my phone was just acting weird and that the place I was at had no signal at all, hence why it took my friend three tries to reach me. But then the weirdest thing happened. Yesterday, my friend called me while I was driving. I wasn't picking up so he called again. When I got home, I called him back. Everything was fine. But when I looked at my imessage history with this said friend, it showed a message I never even sent! It was in English, but I definitely am sure I never sent that text at that time because 1 - I was driving & I knew where I was during that exact time and 2 - I don't even text that way!Â
This is odd. My phone is always physically with me and my phone is NOT jailbroken. I know it's not a glitch because after my phone sent that text message, I had a feeling my phone was being hacked or something! I just changed my icloud password, does that do anything? If someone has access, will it stop now that my password is changed? Do I take it to the Genius Bar?
IPhone :: Any Limitations For Sending Animated GIFs In IMessages?
Apr 25, 2012What is the deal with animated GIFs via iMessages on the iPhone? Does it work? Is it supposed to? Are there any limitations? I tried sending an animated gif to a friend. Both of us are using an iPhone 4S running iOS 5.1. On my end, I see the animation playing on the iMessages app. On her end she just receives a still frame. Why?
I tried it two different ways. First I tried it by simply copying the image from Safari and pasting it into the message. Then I tried it by saving the image to my camera roll and adding it to the message that way. Neither worked. Both times I could see the animation on my end, but the recipient only saw a still image.
IPhone :: 4s Won't Send Imessages From The Number
Apr 18, 2012I have an iphone 4s. Suddenly I was no longer able to receive imessages and the messages I sent to other iphon users were sending as text messages instead of imessages. I did a network reset which didnt work. Then i went into settings and toggled the imessage button. After doing that it now allows me to send imessages as an sms but says i can only be reached for messgaes at my email address and won't allow me to choose my phone number to get messgae. So now I can send imessages but they apepar to come from email account not my phone number.

IPhone :: Texts Come From Email Not Phone Number?
Mar 24, 2012After coming home from being overseas (where i used imessage through a Wi-Fi instead of activating an international data plan) all my texts look like they are from my email address, not my phone number. I have gone to Settings>Messages and toggled the iMessage on and off. I also changed the Settings>Messages>Receive At>Caller ID to be my phone number... Neither have fixed the problem. It even does it when I turned my wi-fi setting off and force it to use my data plan. The only way I could get it to work was to turn off iMessage all together.
