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?

Someone I know left the US to spend a week in Bermuda. While she was there she couldn't receive iMessages but i could send her SMS Text Messages just fine. 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

It seems that my iPhone 4 has decided that it wants to randomly switch of iMessage and Factime at random points during the day. This has only happened since the os 5.0.1 upgrade! I have not reset it because i have heard that this does not work! I have tried just using my phone number, then just my apple id account, then both together on the settings for both, but it is still randomly switching off.

When I send a picture through iMessage, sometimes it takes up to 3-4 minutes to send. Sometimes when I text using MMS/iMessage, it takes a minute or so for the sending bar to make the swoosh noise. Kind of weird it takes that long to send a message, and it's not all the time. Is this normal? Any help would be great.

i recently got an iPhone 5s running iOS 7.1.2 for my birthday. I'm having no trouble sending/receiving texts from non-Apple devices, however when I try and send a text message to a friend with an iPhone (running IOS7) it sends through iMessage. I hate iMessage. I don't want it. I just want to send an SMS to my friends... What's wrong with that?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am exchanging some messages with friends and family that live in Europe. The problem is, occassionaly, the iPhone will give up as sending as an iMessage and then send as a text. As a result, I am being charged for sending an international message, when I would rather just write an email or skype (if iMessage wasnt going to do its job). Is there anyway to set strictly iMessage to certain contacts?

I made a birthday movie in iMovie, for a friend - but I cant send it to her!I dont want to send it as email, FB, Twitter, I want to send it as a iMessage. On my Nokia it was sooo easy to transfer files, make folders for work files, send any file the way I want to and so on.I have used Mac since the late 80s, but I still cant find out how to send it!(My apple heart bleeds when I have to say, iPhone is not working well as a phone, or a help at work like the Nokia did, it is just a fun, fun, toy, as long as I dont want to make a movie on my MacBook Pro and send it on my iPhone...).

My iPhone 5 is about to go in the garbage, and it's only a year old.
For months I've been dealing with being unable to send pictures to contacts by iMessage. Now in the last week I cannot send by MMS either.
I also cannot send on my iPad.Â
I've read through numerous forum postings and let me assure you that absolutely nothing has worked. Here is what I can remember doing so far, but to be honest I've been troubleshooting on my own for a while so I am probably forgetting things. Restore iPhone Troubleshooting on this blog: [URL] ..... Reset network settings. Change iCloud and AppleID password. Remove AppleID from iMessage, use only phone number. Double-check that MMS is turned on. Double-check that numbers aren't blocked. Double-check that it isn't on the recipient end. Considering it's all of my contacts and they can send everything to me just fine it is obviously not their fault. Contact service provider, they say it's an issue with AppleClear out iPhone memory, I have almost 8GB of free space. Update to latest iOS. Tried sending on WiFi and LTE, doesn't work on either ...
I can iMessage everyone on my iPhone but I can't iMessage this one person I've tried like three times but it just says "not delivered".

This has only happened in the last week. Prior to this I had no problems and don't believe I have made any changes. I have taken the suggestion to reset my network settings but that does not seem to work with the problem. I can send them using regular text message and I can send SMS with iMessage, just no photos. I get a not delivered message each time. Â

My iPhone 5 sends and receives text iMessages just fine, but I cannot send any pictures. Â
Whenever I try to send a picture, iMessage indicates at first that the picture has been "delivered". Then, about 10 seconds later, it changes the status to "not sent". The picture never goes through.  I can send the picture as an MMS/Text, just not as an iMessage.Â
I've tried resetting my carrier/network settings, turning off/on iMessage, rebooting the phone multiple times, removing the SIM card and everything else I can think of without any success.

iMessage is not working to my husband number. We both have the iPhone 4 on orange network but when I select to send him a message to his phone number it only ever sends as a text message, not iMessage. I can send as iMessage if I select his email address instead or if I respond to a message from him.
