How to send a text via iMessage instead of regular text?
I have an iPhone 4s and I'm connected with my iTunes account and everything. My friend just upgraded from Android to iPhone 5s, so I changed her number in my contacts from 'mobile' to 'iPhone'. But now when I text her it still sends as SMS. I've already put in her iTunes email in my contacts as well. I've also tried turning iMessage on and off and resetting my phone. It doesn't have anything to do with the Wi-Fi because we're both connected and I can also text everyone else who has iPhones without Wi-Fi. I have no idea what the problem is. Any help or advice would be appreciated!
When you changed the number from mobile to iPhone that doesn't make it an iMessage. What you did there was simply change the label for that number.
The problem here is if she set up iMessage on her phone & if her number is registered as one of those numbers for iMessage.
- Why does it say imessage instead of text message? I have an iphone and whenever i txt my cousin who was a recent iphone user, but now she uses htc, it says imessage instead of a regular txt message so she doesn't receive my texts.
- Why can't I send/receive photos via text message on my iPhone? I have an iPhone 4S, which I bought unlocked and I use Straight Talk. I can't receive or send photos to contacts that don't have iPhones. Can anyone tell me why this is, and help me get it working?
- My iphone is sending out text messages instead of imessage? I checked Apple and iMessage is still working. I have iMessage turned on, SMS turned off and my send and receive addresses are correct. But my iMessages are all sending as texts!
- IPhone 4 won't send pictures to other via iMessage or text? My iPhone 4 isn't sending pictures nor is it uploading to fb or instagram. It did upload to twitter yesterday though. My MMS is on so any other ideas? I tried restarting it. Also it won't connect to Wi-Fi so I can upgrade it, it's needed it for months now but won't connect to Wi-Fi.
