IPhone 4s :: How To Receive IMessages From Contacts Only
Aug 22, 2014
I am not sure if this feature is hidden somewhere in plain sight, or whether it is a feature that Apple will need to implement.Â
How can I Block BY DEFAULT everyone who is not on my contact list from sending me spam iMessages and FaceTime?Â
The problem is that my email address gives away that I have a Mac or an iOS device, and iMessage. I want to block all strangers, and I don't have the time or the will to block each spam phone number or email address.Â
Apple, if it not there already, implement a "From Contacts Only" Option for iMessage and FaceTime. Â

I recently lost my iPhone 3GS, and I'm now using a 3G that I found on ebay. As it turns out, I can't receive iMessages from iPhones which I used to iMessage with. This means I can't receive texts at all from these numbers.
Info:
iPhone 3GS (8GB)

I bought iphone 6 plus 64G to upgrade from my iPhone 4S. I have not been able to send or receive iMessages to iPhone users in my contacts with my cell number. It always uses my email when I create a new iMessage and is able to send that way. I cannot receive iMessages from iPhones to my cell number. which is a huge problem. I have tried turning iMessages on and off and resetting my network and nothing seems to be working. How can I resolve the problem?

I have had my iPhone 5c for around 4 months, it has only 8g of storage and up until this afternoon I have been unable to receive pictures. My iMessage is working fine and I can send picture messages but when someone else tries to send me a picture message it doesn't come through. I have never had this problem before and it was working up until this afternoon.

iPhone 3GS
model: MC637C
iOS version: 5.1 (9B176)
This issue started with the last iOS update and has affected not only my phone, but my wife's and father in law's as well (we all have the exact same model) When I attempt to send a text message to my wife, my phone suddenly won't send imessages anymore. Only text. I have tried rebooting my phone, and my wife's phone. We have even tried wiping our phones and restoring them from backups. The problem still persists, wether we are at home connected to wifi or out of the house on 3G. The only way I have managed to send my wife an imessage was by creating a new contact with ONLY her e-mail address. That only worked once. since then, its trying to send everything as SMS again.
This is unacceptable as we live in an area with very poor celular coverage and rely heavily on wifi connections, therefore we won't receive an SMS until our phones get access to the celular network. All other apps and phone functions are working correctly across all 3 phones mentioned. On both my phone, and my wife's, I have double checked to ensure that iMessage is still turned on. I suspect that this is a global software issue seeing as it only started once we updated our phones to the latest iOS. My question is this:
Prior to the update, we were all able to send iMessages to eachother, regardless of where we were. The only time we'd have an issue is if someone's phone was turned off or not connected to either the celular 3G network or a wifi with internet access (which is natural).

So I can receive texts from everyone in my contacts and who I normally text, but this one girl in my contacts has been telling me she receives my texts but then complains when I dont answer her, but I have not been receiving these texts. So I am curious as to what could be the problem with my Iphone 4? Ive updated it to 5.1 today to see if that was the problem but we are still having issues, and I also checked that she is also using verizon.

I recently encountered an issue on my phone, I previously could receive messages and send to all my contacts within and outside my location, but last week I could only send messages to my contacts abroad and it shows delivered (D), but not read (R). However, got a call from my friend in the UK that he reads my messages and whenever he tries to reply, the messages never gets to me. He also receives my broadcast messages.

I have a Blackberry Curve 8530 for Metro PCS, and for the last few days, contacts with different companies (ex. T-Mobile, Sprint etc.) cannot receive my text messages. However, those with Metro PCS can get them. Everything works perfectly fine on my phone, and ive tried the battery thing, and ive looked everywhere for possible information.

I had this problem at little while ago and it seemed to fix itself but now my iMessage has stopped working again, but only to my wifes iPhone. I'm not sure if it's related to the iOS update but i think it was working ok after that?I have a iPhone 4, she has a 3GS. They are both registered on the same apple ID I cannot send her iMessages but when she sends me texts (via iMessage) i receive them as messages but from my email address We are both in areas with 3G or wireless networks I have tried all of the suggestions that I have found on here and nothing is working on my phone!
