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?
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?
When using iMessage, is it normal for it to be sent as an email? My friends with iPhones will txt me and when I txt back it starts a new conversation entirely with my email as the contact. Is there a way to set it to my phone number? When I recieve iMessages it's never an email.
I have an iPhone 4s. My problem is that my iMessage is stuck on sending messages through my email, i tried to add my phone number and it does not let me! I already reset my phone!
iMessaging has been fine until this last week, and now, 75% of the time any imessages don't send to my girlfriend - they don't change to delivered either - they just sit there, in blue, but not sent or delivered.
We have both restored our phones and backed up from icloud - this didnt fix anything.
We both changed our imessage "recieved at" email addresses yesterday - to make our tests weren't sending from the old attached email account, I'd send a message to her, then get her to reply and vice versa - basically to make sure it was the newly setup email (as I believe there's a propogation period when adding a new email to imessage?) - either way, this didn't work.
I've tested via my ipad2 - shockingly enough, this didn't work.
A friend in Thailand is trying to use iMessage with an iPad, the iMessage has been working OK up to 2 weeks ago but now it will neither send or receive iMessage. She has: signed out and back in to iMessage checked that the email address is correctly registered turned iCloud off and back on Done a hard reset of the device Has the latest ios installed. iMessages sent to her phone show as 'sent' but no longer as delivered.
I send a imessage to another iphone, a little while later it changes to a regular SMS text message. I have turned on imessaging on both phones. i went to the Apple store and of course it wored when I tested there.
When I send a message to other iPhones it just says "Sending" and nothing goes through.Â
Under Messages>Send&Recieve my phone number is there but not checked off and there is no way to select it. My email IS there and checked, so my messages are only going through to other iPads.Â
I seem to have lost my "IMESSAGE" when I send a text to someone else with an IPHONE. I noticed when looking at my ATT bill which is showing the texts in my allottment.
I upgraded the operating system on my 3gs to the new 5.1. When I imessage my friend Amy it also sends that message to my friend Joe and then their response is also shared.
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?
Is my wi-fi supposed to be turning on and off all the time? That frustrates me! iMessage won't even let me send messages! i type in the contact name, then type my message but it wont let me click in 'send.'
is there's a way to check the numbers i have been sending imessage too? for example if i send a normal sms it will show up on my bill but what about imessage?
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.
My boyfriend and I text every day and we both have iPhone 4's So it sends as iMessage. Ever since last night our texts have been sending as text message rather than iMessage and we cant figure out why. Were guessing it's on his end since I can text other people on iMessage. yesterday his keyboard wouldn't come up so he turned it off and back on and shortly after that our messages would only be sent as text. We've checked to make sure iMessage is on and that our 3G is up and running . Would doing a restart (ie. Holding power and home) do anything?
when I send a picture message to someone with an iPhone 4s who doesn't have wi fi on, the message goes as a text message. This is fine for normal text messages but pictures are expensive to send. Is there any way to set it so it sends normal text messages if the receiver has no wi fi but never sends picture messages as text?
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.
I've been put in charge of setting up email on co-workers iphones.I just recently upgraded to iphone4 and had no problems getting mine set up (AT&T carrier). However, my co-works have switched carriers to Verizon(from AT&T) and I cannot get them to send emails. I've tried cwmx.com....no luck. I set up SMTP:outgoing.verizon.net and it then gave me message that server did not relay. I even set up an vzwmail account.I need to know what SMTP server to use!
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???
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.
