IPhone 4 ios7- iMessages send when no service, only Wi-Fi?
I recently acquired an iPhone 4 from a friend who wasn't using it anymore. He was using AT&T, but I had it unlocked and I use it with T-Mobile. I'm not on a data plan, I use Wi-Fi where ever I have it. The problem is with iMessage- if I have bars for cell service and Wi-Fi, my iMessages will not send. When I don't have any cell service but I do have Wi-Fi, only then will they send. Any ideas why?
If defaults to cell service first is my guess.
- Why won't my iPhone send iMessages? I have an iPhone 4S and my friend has the 5. She kept the same sim, so when she got her 5, the old messages from her blackberry weren't deleted. But now, our messages aren't sent through iMessage and its really annoying. Any ideas how this could be put right? All my other friends that I message are sent on iMessage, just not her.
- Why won't my iPhone send iMessages to other iPhones? I can use iMessage on my iphone4 with no problems at all to iPods, but not to my partners iphone4, it always defaults to SMS. Its frustrating, because we live in an area with poor mobile coverage, so if I need to message him urgently, iMessage in theory should be the best way of doing it. Does anyone know how I can alter this please?
- Why won't my iPhone send iMessages? - 1 So ever since I updated my iPhone 4s to iOS7, I have only been able to send iMessages to a select few people. I'm doing an exchange this year, so I need to text my exchange student, who lives in Spain. It costs $0.25 per text, which adds up and I liked being able to do it for free with iMessage. I used to be able to use iMessage with her. I tried Resetting my Network Connection already, but it doesn't work. What can I do?
- Why won't my iPhone 5 send iMessages anymore? It's an iPhone 5 I got in February and it won't send iMessages anymore and yes I'm sure I'm sending the messages to an iPhone and my cellular data is on.
