I just got a replacement iPhone 4s and now whenever I iMessage someone, it shows that I sent it from my email and not my cell number. People that save my contact info have just added my email to my info and now it shows up as me, but for those who don't need to know my email, how do I change this to just show it sending from my cell number???
This problem started today. All singular imessages are not responding in this way, so far only the group. After researching I have done the following so far and nothing is working.
1. Turn off/on the phone.
2. Checked for updates. (none)
3. Reset the factory settings.
4. Cleared and re-entered icloud name/password.
5. Turned off/on "group messaging", "mms", AND "sms" just to be sure.
6. Made sure "send/receive" has both icloud and cell number.
I just came home from an international trip and am wondering if some settings or restrictions may be limiting the group messages.
- Messages are not delivered (or they are delivered hours later)
- I sometimes don't receive messages (or I receive them hours later)
- I type in blue (so I think it's an iMessage) but then when I send it turns green.
You can't imagine the consequences of this and how it affected my relation with my girlfriend !!I switched it off and I don't care to find a solution (the same with iCloud).
since a few days I have a strange iMessage problem. When I write an iMessage to someone from my iPhone it shows up as not delivered after a few seconds, but the message does arrive at the recipient. If I look on my iPad the same message looks ok, it shows the delivered/read status perfectly normal. When I switch devices, the problem exists the other way around. I get the not delivered status on my iPad but the same message shows up OK on my iPhone. The problem exists on different WiFis and on the 3G network.I already tried to "reactive" the iMessage service on my iPhone but to no avail.
When I send an imessage through my iphone it delivers and the other person receives it, but on my phone it says "Not Delivered". When the other person sends to me, it does the same. Here is what I have done so far:
Reboot the phone Reloaded the firmware Disabled/reenabled imessage. Turned off "Time Zone Support" iMessage works fine on my iPad, doesnt work at all on my Mac.
i have jailbroken my iphone and i currently don't have a SIM card, according to every website i have set up my iMessage account right but everytime i send a message to someone it says "Not Deliverd". I have an active wireless internet connection and my iphone is connected to the wifi (Tried the DNS), but still doesnt seem to send any messages? Is there a possibility that there's someting wrong with the phone it's self or i might have the wrong things on in the settings?
me and my friend both have iMessage but on his end it, the messages are green, and every time I send him an iMessage it says it has delivered but he does not receive it.
Whey when I try to send photo along with imessage on iPhone 4s and IPad does it say This iMessage was not delivered. Try again, which doesn't do anything, or Send as Text Message. They are going to iPhones when I send text.
It doesn't say it's not delivered right away but a minute after it was sent. I don't use any other devices for iMessage. I was in a group chat with two other people and they were having the same problem. I've tried resetting my network settings then I reset all settings and it didn't work. I also tried turning off iMessage for a while and it didn't work. What's up with this?
Today I have noticed that when I try to send a sms to a friend in iMessage it doesnt say delivered underneath, and my friend is not getting them, I know that iMessage is working on my phone because it function correctly with other people.
I have an iPhone 4s and whenever I use iMessage and send photos though iMessage, it takes about 5-10 mins to actually be sent and sometimes it does not get delivered, what's some reasons ?
Is it possible for a text message to show "delivered" but actually not be delivered. I sent a text, received the "delivered" notation and the recipient is saying that they did not receive it.
i've change my YM password, now email messages are not being delivered to my BB device. I have validate the password in the BB Internet Service on the Home Screen, Setup, Email Setting. But when I do that, there's message that my user account is wrong.
My email was hacked so I set a new password and added security questions. All good there. But email messages are not being delivered to my blackberry until I validate the new password on BlackBerry Internet Service. I cannot seem to access the BlackBerry Internet Service - on my device, under SetUp, Email Accounts, Internet Mail Account it asks for my User name and Password. I cannot find that nor can I find a way to create one - I've tried searching the BlackBerry site as well as my wireless provider (AT&T) site, but to no avail.
I received an email on my Blackberry Storm 9530 that stated emails were not being delivered to my email address, and then gave me instructions to "validate my password". I went to my email settings on My Blackberry and put in what I thought was the password, but that failed. I tried a couple of others, but those failed also. Then I went to the Blackberry Internet Service website and reset my password there, but it still did not work. I noticed when I went to "Account Details" on the Blackberry website, the password was only 10 characters long, nothing close to any passwords that I might have used. I have Verizon Wireless, but should maybe mention that my email address has been supported by AT & T U-Verse for the last few years, and one month ago I cancelled U-Verse internet and went with someone else. When I delete e-mails on my Blacberry, they do not delete on my computer email
I have just got my new iphone 4 today and when I try to send a message to my friend who also has an iphone she says although sent as an imessage it comes through as an email. When I go to receive at in settings it has my mobile no which is greyed out and it has my email address in bold so she suggested deleting my email from this but the option to delete is greyed out.
Ive upgraded my phone to the 4s and plan to use my 3GS as an ipod for my kids. I cannot get the imessage to connect through email? Im not sure if it is because it wants to verify by a phone number that is no longer active? I tried resetting it and still no luck.
Every once in awhile, i will receive my imessages in my email account. Most of the time it will work properly, but those rare occasions it sends the other party's response to my email account and does not show up in the imessage window at all. like it was not even sent. my apple id is based off a regular email account like yahoo, gmail, or hotmail. how can I make it stop doing this? I want to be able to communicate properly and use my other idevices too. please help... would it just be better to start a whole new apple id with just a specific email acct desginated just for that?
When i send messages using iMessage on mac to an apple iphone, it shows that message was received from my email address not from my number. Is there a way to show that messages are received by the mobile number not by apple ID?
I have the wrong email address in the imessage field and am not sure how to change it. I have logged in with my own Apple id but messaging isn't recognising it.
Ive read all the other 1000 responses on this topic, however none of them work. Added another Iphone 4 to my account and we acctivated it lastnight. Imessage is activated on the phone. However when sending imessages its showing her email address rather than phone number. Noww before I get the same replies I have went to Settings<Messages<Recieve at and there is no option for phone and there is no option for caller ID. So im lost. And I was on the phone with Apple for an hour lastnight and got NO where.
When I turned on my iMessage setting, it automatically used my apple ID/email address instead of my name when I text someone and I don't know how to change it to just my name.
i have been using imessage for months now and then today it is sending from my email address rather than my mobile number. i have tried turning imessage off then back on, turning it off then turning my phone off and back on then switching it back on. anyone know how i can change it to send from my phone again?
