Is the messages thing on iphone 4s free?
I don't text but want to start texting by using the messages thing on my iphone (it is the icon in the top left of the home screen). I want to text for free and not have to be charged per text on my AT&T account. Is there a way to send a text through the "messages" thing by just using Wi-Fi? In other words, is it possible to send free texts without having to install the "free texting app"? Your input would be appreciated.
Hi your iPhone should have iMessages. It will leave you send messages over Wi-Fi and/or edge for free but only to another iDevice i.e. IPad iPod touch and iPhone. If you want to send a message to another iPhone then I would use "Jelly sms" from the app store. All messages sent are free because as far as I know you use the "Web Texts" that most network providers give you free. Hope this helped…
- Why is my iPhone5 sending some messages as iMessage and others as Text Messages? I understand that messages are sent as Text Messages when there's no signal or poor Wi-Fi connection. However, I'm successfully texting some people using iMessage but others (still iPhone users) as Text messages. The other person will send iMessages and then my responses will be sent as green Text Messages.
- Why do iPhone messages come up as picture messages on other phones? When my friend sends me texts, she has an iphone, they come up as picture messages and i can't revieve them on my phone because my plan doesn't cover picture messages. Can she change the settings so it won't come up as a picture?
- When I receive text messages with emojis from an iPhone, why do the messages only appear partially? My phone is a "Verizon Samsung Intensity II" slide phone. (Also it's blue but that doesn't matter.) Also, if I'm included in an iPhone group chat (spoiled rich friends, but not snobby…), I get each posted message as a separate message, so I'll end up randomly with 67 unread messages clogging up my inbox.
- Read messages on my iPhone sometimes show up as unread messages on my Mac? - 1 I'm talking about email messages. I have my accounts hooked up to iCloud, so if I read an email on my iPhone or Mac, it should count it as read on the other device. It has worked, but sometimes it doesn't. What can/should I do?
