I don't have texting added to my provider contract and need to prevent some folks from texting when they don't have an iPhone. Otherwise I get charge for just receiving message solicited or not.
If I receive a text and want to forward it to another person I select "Edit", mark the item(s) and select "Forward". I am then presented with the "New Message" screen and I enter the aprpopriate "To:" and hit "Send".
More time than not, when I hit "Send" I am dropped out to my iPhone home screen. Seem like an iMessage (SMS) bug to me
I am using an iPhone 4s on AT&T running IOS 5.1.1.
I have blocked a number through my service provider but they can still iMessage me because it is through Apple, not my carrier. How can I block them from iMessaging me without turning off iMessage?
I need to block a number, which I already did using AT&T but I keep getting IMessages from this person. I have changed my Apple ID and I am still getting messages. Is there a way to block IMessages from this person?
I have blocked my ex's phone number through my phone service provider, but he is still able to send me messages through imessage as if he is not blocked. Apparently, apple uses it's own server seperate from the carrier. How do I block his imessages without completely blocking the ability to use the imessage feature?
I am currently being harassed, and threats to my life are sent to me daily through iMessage, should I choose to enable it.
I pay each month a fee to AT&T to block that number from calling and texting me, but they have an open conduit to make my life ****, via iMessage. I have had this problem for a year now, and two police reports have done nothing to stop this harassment.
Why should I have to disable a feature like iMessage, or switch numbers yet again, just for peace of mind? Wouldn't it be a basic feature/service/capability that should be included, or at least thought about well in advance of a release of such a feature?
Why has no one thought about being able to block a contact from messaging another via iMessage?
My issue is i have been able to received mms from my contacts, however when i myself try to send one it comes up with an "error: please try again". The only thing is once i turn imessage on and send the picture it then works.
Can i disable iMessage, then just use normal messaging, a normal message will be sent like a SMS right?
And will Siri use SMS too?I'm not too fond on iMessage, I prefer the normal Messaging service on iPhone?Also does Messaging work fine without iMessage?
i have noticed that after switching to ios 5.1 my phone has been acting funny. for example: when i am messaging other iphone users with iMessage, it keeps switching from iMessage to regular text every 2 or 3 messages. at first i thought it was the other person since i am normally within my works wifi network and at my home wifi network, but it seems that this problem only occurs to other people when imessaging with me and not with anyone else. and this problem occurs to me while imessaging everyone, so i have come to the conclusion that the problem must be my phone. i have noticed this problem to occur since updating to ios 5.1. has anyone else experienced this problem? what can i do? i am 2 steps shy of reinstalling my phone.
I have an unusual issue I would like some assistance on since I just got a blackberry, I have the Curve 2 8530. I use Total Call Blocking with my carrier so that when I call anyone my number is automatically blocked / restricted. Therefore, in my contact list, I have my friends or family contacts listed with the *82 in front of the number to unblock for those people. This works fine for phone calls.
However, on Text Messaging / Picture Messaging, the *82 will cause these messages to fail. I am used to LG phones, you have the ability to edit the number while creating a message, before your send one of these messages. The problem I am having is when I send a Text Message / Picture Message it appears from the blackberry as only the 10 digit number (even though the contact has *82 in front of it)...and the message shows it is sent (with the check mark) but it NEVER received.
I got a text this morning from my sister and it has been repeating endlessly all day, I've had it about 700 times now and it's still popping up as a new message. I have to keep my phone on silent and turn notifications off just to get some peace and save the battery.
I started using my new iphone 4s yesterday but can not send any text messages to my contacts. I mannaged to get an iMessage to another iphone user but normal text messages to anyone who is not using iMessage won't go through. I have tried switching the phone off, taking out the sim, and a few other things in settings, but so far nothing has worked. Should the numbers in my contacts all include country code perhaps? I am in Australia.
