IPhone not showing FaceTime or iMessage option?
My iPhone4s won't give me the FaceTime or iMessage option? How to fix
Update your firmware by going to settings on iphone.
IMessage is not an option.
The phone automatically decides if it will use data (imessage) or text (SMS)
based on if you listed the phone/person's Number with applid/"iPhone" as their contact No
you will see the text go as a blue or green message (depending iMessage or text)
Facetime,
again is only for apple ID or iPhone listed phone numbers.
So sounds like you have not
- added Apple Id's
- put the phone No as an iPhone Number (in the contacts)
They must be in contacts or imessage or facetime will not work at all.
- Why is my iPhone 4S not allowing me to FaceTime or iMessage? I have about five people who have an iPhone on my contacts. My phone will not let me send and iMessage or FaceTime them! What's wrong with it? I'm getting annoyed because I have FaceTimed and iMessaged last week and both stoped working Saturday. The only thing my phone sends are text messages. Can anyone explain why?
- Names not showing in iMessage? Ok, so I have my friend in my contacts, but in iMessage it doesn't say her name, only her phone number. We both have an iPhone 4S with ios7 and I did nothing different and my other friends don't have this problem with her number. Does anyone know how to fix it?
- My iMessage and Facetime will not work? I reset my iphone and my imessage and facetime says "waiting for activation" and I have turned my phone off and on, but it still says "waiting for activation" please help!
- IMessage and FaceTime on iPhone sending not one but up to 15 activation SMS? Why does my iPhone send so many SMS to activate iMessage it should on send one or 2 and then should stay activated as I have never turn iMessage on and off again. I got a new plan and now I get billed for international SMS it is no longer included. $0.45 each SMS adds up quick as my plan is already $120 a month just for the included stuff.
