I'd like to send texts to my friend who owns an iPhone, but not on iMessage.(That friend owns an iPhone, but can't connect on 3G. So she gets my texts only when she can connect on wi-fi...)
Info:
iPhone 3GS, iOS 5.1
I want to know how to disable iMessage for one contact. My friend lost her iPhone and now owns a Nokia, though her number is still the same. She does not receive iMessages that I send her, and I don't know how to disable iMessage for one contact only.

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?

this might be a simple question but: how do I disable that annoying long sound each and every time I receive an incoming iMessage? I tried setting the sounds in "message" but nothing changed. Can someone walk me thru the necessary steps to turn off the sound?

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy iPhone has suddenly stopped sending iMessages but only to my husband. It will send iMessages to all my other contacts with iPhones but when I try to message my husband it seems to send as SMS with no option. I used to be able to send him iMessages. How can I turn it back on? I have tried logging out and back in again with my Apple ID and also tried rebooting iPhone but it's still not working.

turned off data roaming.  Only contacted one iphone user by text whilst off wifi. So his messages went and came back by standard SMS text message. Now I'm home, back on 3G wifi etc, iMessage is working fine, except this one contact which my phone now insists on using text SMS only. I can not get him back on iMessage no matter what I do! His iPhone hasn't changed but also insists on sending texts to me as SMS only! Yet all worked fine before I went away!

Now she has returned to the US, but my phone continues to send her SMS Text Messages. I tried deleting the entire conversation, as well as turning iMessage off and back on in Settings, but no matter what I do my messages to her continue to be SMS.Â

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 iMessage won't work with a specific contact. It says, "Turn off airplane mode or use wi-fi to send and receive messages". I can send and receive messaged from other people but not one particular contact. We are both connected to the wifi.

I used to be able to iMessage my mother on her iPhone on both my iPhone and my mac. All of a sudden, these messages are not going through. I am able to send iMessages to other contacts on both devices. I have restarted my phone, reset the network settings and even deleted the contact, but it still only sends messages to her as SMS.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI updated my iphone 4s to ios 5.1 last night and then today when I texted someone else with an iPhone using iMessage, my contact came up as my Apple ID email on their phone instead of my name that was associated with my phone number. This obviously caused a lot of confusion because my email isn't my name and the person I texted didn't know who the message was from. The message looks completely normal on my phone and their contact came up fine but mine didn't work on theirs. I also determined it was my phone that was the problem because I texted another person with an iPhone and the same exact thing happened again. I checked to see if anyone else had this problem and I couldn't find any postings on the Apple forum. So if you are having the same problem and/or know how to fix it,

I am currently on my second iPhone 4s after losing my first one. I have encountered a problem where my contacts which also have an iPhone, thus receiving iMessages are seeing my contact name as my email address. How do I change this in the settings? I have tried to manually change it but even if I switch to the number option there seems to be no change.

my husband's number even when added into the contacts only appears as a number in sms/imessage and call log. I have tried deleting and adding again as a new contact but still the same issue.With other contacts that I have saved there was no issue only for my husband. He has 2 numbers from different providers here in UAE both numbers have the same issue. I have restored network settings, turned phone on and off.

A few days ago, I tried to send an iMessage to my wife who also has an iPhone. The iMessage service was down (got the 'Delivery Error' icon). I then chose the option to send as text message.Â
Now whenever I try to message her, the message is always sent as SMS (her name is in green as is the text). How to get it back to sending her iMessages. Tried turning iMessage on and off. Turned SMS on and off. Nothing.Â
Since Apple released iMessage my friend and I have been iMessaging. As of yesterday, I can still send my friend iMessages as usual, but she can only send iMessages to my email (I have "Receive at" set to my phone number and email, Caller ID set to my phone number). If she tries to send an iMessage to my phone number, as she did before, it will only send as a Text. All of my other iPhone contacts can still send iMessages to my phone number. We've each tried rebooting and switching iMessage on and off (we both have iPhone 4, IOS 5.1.1) without any luck. I realise that iMessage is still technically working with her sending to my email, but we just don't understand why sending to my phone number has suddenly stopped working.

I send a lot of group texts and the groups vary quite a bit. I have not set up the various combinations of recipients as actual "groups" in iMessage. Let's say I sent a text to Tom, Dick & Harry. Then the next day, I sent a text to Tom & Dick. Then the next day, I sent a text to Tom, Dick, Harry & Jane. If I now go to send a new message to just Tom, his contact now appears fourth on list of contacts when I type "Tom" in the "to" line, behind:
Group
Tom, Dick & Harry
Group
Tom & DickÂ
Group
Tom, Dick, Harry & JaneÂ
It's even worse because in some instances, I've included names like Tom in over a dozen random texts involving many people. It's like iMessage is claiming I want each of those group texts to be saved as an actual "group" or at least saved in the results when I'm typing in someone's name for a new text. I DON'T want that. I may have sent a text once to Tom, Dick, Jane, Mary, Ted, Bob & Homer to meet me by the third base line at Cellular Field but obviously I'll only actually need to use that group once because everyone knows with a group that large, there's only a slim chance everyone will get out of the Cell alive anyway. I just want to send Tom a text, after he lost a bet and had to go to a White Sox game, and I don't want to have to scroll past all the random "Groups" he's been in just to find his contact.

I turned off the sound notification for "new mail" because I don't want to hear everytime I get a new email. But I found that when someone sends me an iMessage, there is no sound. How do I make it so I can still get a sound notification for iMessage but not email?

Using Lotus Traveler for email. My contacts link themselves all the time. If I fix them/unlink them, within a day or two they are linked again. Im talking 20 contacts all linked under one name, and this happening to most my contacts
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an AT&T Blackberry Torch 9800. I am using Blackberry Internet Service (BIS).I need to disable the AT&T Address Book contact synchronization feature from my device.Prior to the activation of the AT&T Address Book contact synchronization feature, I was successfully syncing my Google contacts with the Default address book on the device. Now that the AT&T Address Book has been activated, syncing with my Google contacts is no longer possible.I have not discovered how to disable the AT&T Address Book contact synchronization feature. The only option available is to "sync now" (with AT&T Address Book).
I have performed a Security Wipe on the device. It appears that it does not disable the AT&T Address Book contact synchronization feature, which reappears again.On the AT&T Blackberry Torch 9800, under Setup, there are different icons for features you want to set up. One of them is called AT&T Address Book. When you click on that icon, it begins the registration process for AT&T Address Book. You have the choice to Accept or Decline.Once accepted, all future contacts created on the device can only be listed on the AT&T Address Book contact list. It is no longer possible to create contacts in the Default address book on the device.
<Blackberry Knowledge Base reference: AT&T Address Book>KB24080 - Synchronization with the AT&T Address Book in BlackBerry 6 the AT&T Address Book provides the ability to synchronize contacts on the BlackBerry® smartphone to an online AT&T Address Book that can be accessed by visiting [URL]. After an account is created, contacts can be added, edited, and viewed using this online resource. The contacts are saved on the AT&T network, and can be easily recovered or restored in the event of an upgrade, damage, or loss of a BlackBerry smartphone. Below is a list of features advertised with the AT&T Address Book: Automatic Backup: Your contacts on a compatible AT&T mobile phone are backed up to your AT&T Address Book, and changes you make are automatically saved. Online Access: Conveniently access, manage, and text message your contacts from a computer. Note: Contacts stored within the AT&T Address Book on the BlackBerry smartphone will not synchronize via the BlackBerry® Desktop Software to a Personal Information Management (PIM) application on the computer (for example, Microsoft Outlook). The BlackBerry Desktop Software is designed to synchronize information between a PIM application and the BlackBerry smartphone using the smartphone's default contact list service. As the AT&T Address Book creates its own service that is not accessible for synchronization (as it cannot be set as the default service for synchronization), the BlackBerry Desktop Software continues to synchronize with the default service and not the AT&T Address Book.Users will notice that their AT&T Address Book data does not transfer to their PIM application on their computers, but that the computer information is stored in a separate service on the BlackBerry smartphone after synchronization. This is by design.

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.
