How To Receive Texts From Non Iphone Users?

I have an Iphone, but can't receive texts from non iphone user friends.

Sounds like you don't have a texting plan, because imessage is free but you need a text plan for anyone without imessage.

I fixed it. Somehow a setting from my phone plan had gotten turned on

  • Why won't my iPhone send messages to non-iPhone users? I've had my iPhone 4 for a while now, I go through Virgin Mobile. I've never had problems until recently, but it's really strange. I can text certain people with non-iPhones, but some I get an error. I can receive theirs always. Any resolutions? I have changed the contact from iPhone to just mobile… Still doesn't do the trick. I have turned off MMS. No such luck.
  • New iPhone 6s+ won't let me send pictures to non iPhone users? I can send pictures just fine to anyone on iMessage but if they don't have it I can't. I use to have AT&T when I had my iPhone 5c and I could send pictures just fine. But now with my iPhone 6s+ with sprint I can't send them to anyone with a Samsung or basically anything not Apple. Help?! It's really frustrating considering not all my friends own iPhones.
  • IPhone won't receive group texts from non-iPhones? My iPhone won't receive any group chats if someone else in the group doesn't have an iPhone. Why is this and how can I fix things so I receive group texts from all kinds of phones?
  • IPhone 5c users or any other iPhone model users. Screen clicking issue. You might have it as well? My iPhone 5c screen on the lower right is making a clicking noise everytime I press it, same goes on the plastic back near the iPhone logo! I just got this phone brandnew weeks ago. A lot of people are having this issue at the moment on their 5, 5s, 6 and even the 6s! Idek the cause why its making this noise. Never dropped this thing. Just wanted to ask if you're experiencing the same. If it weren't for my OCD i wouldn't have noticed i've had this thing for weeks now lmao
