How come my texts aren't going through but my iMessages are?

Every time I try to send a text message to a non IPhone user it doesn't go through. But when I send an iMessage it goes through. Although it is coming up as an email on the other person phone? Why is this?

This is most likely because where you are, you only have a Wi-Fi signal. Move around until you get bars to show up in the top left corner. Also, in settings make sure your phone, in general, make sure under cellular that cellular data is on, and also LTE if you have it.

Hope this helps!

Your phone maybe sending from your Apple ID not your phone number. I us iPod so I can't tell you how to solve.

  • Why is my Iphone not sending as Imessages and receiving iMessages from one person? I'm texting my wife and we both have iPhone's and she is getting the messages as an iMessage but the ones I'm sending her on my end show up at green. Sometime it will go as blue, get the little red exclamation point then send as regular SMS. I'm texting someone else too and she has an iPhone, and she is getting mine as regular iMessages and mine are sending as regular iMessages. Why aren't they sending to me wife as iMessages?
  • Why does my iPhone sometimes send texts to other iPhones as iMessages then regular texts to iPhones? Like when I send a text to my friend that has an iphone, it usually sends as an iMessage then it will randomly send as just a regular text and it will be green and not blue.
  • Why aren't texts coming through on my iphone? For some reason some of my messages aren't coming through on my Iphone 4s. Yesterday I was texting a few people, no more than usual, and turned my phone on and off again at around 11pm to receive all my responses that were sent at around 3pm. I keep having to turn my phone on and off again so my messages will come through. Is there a setting where this can be stopped? My messages from fellow iphone users come through as usual.
  • Why aren't my iMessages in a blue bubble? Usually when iMessaging/texting somebody else with an iPhone, your messages are in a blue bubble. I have a friend who also has an iPhone, but when I text her my messages aren't in blue. Is there a reason for that?
