Can disconnected iphones use imessage with the same number? - 1

Yes, that's what I did. You just need a apple account/icloud account

I've tried it multiple times and it'll send and receive with the email account your apple account is with. Atleast in my case.

Not through the number… Since that would have been disconnected, but could through the Apple ID email on a Wi-Fi connection only.

  • Why can my iPhone text other iPhones when my phone is disconnected? Today around 10am my iPhone got disconnected (hadn't paid my bill yet), I went to text my aunt (who doesn't have an iPhone) and the messages wouldn't send, 30 minutes later I texted my friend who does have an iPhone and I could successfully send and receive messages. And as of 9hr later, I was able to text another person with an iPhone. What's up with this? Not complaining or anything, just curious why it's happening.
  • Why can i Imessage from the same number, two different iphones? I just recently got a new iphone because the other is messed up. But for some reason as i switched over to the new phone, i could still text people who had imessage on the old phone. But people who didn't, i couldnt text on my old phone. Why does this happen? Is it because its not really a "text" message?
  • What number does imessage use? I found an iphone today so i took it home and master reset it. When i reset it i never took out the sim card so when it booted up i took out the card. I'm using the thing like normal now and tried imessaging one of my friends. How is this working with no sim card in it? I have ios 7
  • What happens if you text and call a disconnected number from an iPhone? I'm trying to figure out if someone's number has been disconnected. When I call it says your call can't be completed as dialed no matter what phone I call from. When I text from my iPhone it appears that the text was sent and I don't get an error invalid message and the text doesn't turn red. Could this just mean that incoming calls are not working for this person?
