How to stop sending my iphone messages as texts?

I'm sending texts to other iphones and they are sending as texts and I have service.

I'm guessing you are trying to iMessage by the sounds of it. You have to turn on iMessage. This will help you: 1.go to settings on your iphone.

2.go to message

3.turn on iMessage.

Now that should work.

  • Why is my iPhone5 sending some messages as iMessage and others as Text Messages? I understand that messages are sent as Text Messages when there's no signal or poor Wi-Fi connection. However, I'm successfully texting some people using iMessage but others (still iPhone users) as Text messages. The other person will send iMessages and then my responses will be sent as green Text Messages.
  • Why is my iPhone sending picture messages as texts? I have had an iPhone through Verizon since last June, and recently it has started sending all of my picture messages as texts instead of iMessages. I have a texting plan, but it's still frustrating that I can iMessage my friends any other time, but when I send a picture it becomes a text. I have checked all of my settings, and nothing has been changed. Does anyone know what could be causing this?
  • Why is my iphone 4s sending texts to everyone except one person in specific? I have an iPhone 4S, I've been texting a few people today but there's this one person in specific that my phone doesn't let my message go through to them? It just randomly happened in the middle of one of our conversations when I tried to reply but all it says is "message send failure." I didn't want to, but I deleted our whole message history and still nothing.
  • Why does my iPhone 5 stop sending messages? It worked for a few days and then last night it stopped sending and receiving texts. But I could still make calls. Then this morning it started working again. But now it is doing it again and it won't send texts. The iMessages won't go through either. I'm horrible with technology so I really don't know what to do. I tried turning it off but it didn't work. And If I do a network or hard reset, then will I lose everything on it? It is a Sprint iPhone if it matters.
