Why can I not always receive iMessages on my iPhone?
After I updated my iPhone to ios 7 I'm not receiving iMessages until I get back home or put 3G on. Before messages would automatically turn to sms text messages if one person doesn't have Wi-Fi. This means I'm not receiving important messages until I get back home and it is too late. And my phone also doesn't receive pictures unless I put 3G on. So if I randomly put 3G on I get pictures from months ago. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Added (1). I already have iMessage and SMS checked off in my settings and it still isn't working.
Added (2). If you don't understand the question please don't be rude and say I don't know what I'm talking about. IMessage needs Wi-Fi.
Go to Settings > Messages
Check the settings for SMS and iMessage.
It has nothing to do with Wi-Fi, imessage is sent whether on Wi-Fi or celltower. I don't think you know what you are talking about.
Imessage only works through Wi-Fi. If the issue persists go into settings-messages and then remove your apple ID and re-add it.
- Why will my iPhone not receive iMessages for my phone number? I bought an unlocked iPhone and i was texting people through iMessage when I had Wi-Fi. Now I'm getting messages through normal texts only. When I go to the "Send & Receive" option under message settings, my phone number is there but it is gray in color and I can't select it. All the email addresses on the account can be selected but not my phone number. Can anyone help me?
- Why is my Iphone not sending as Imessages and receiving iMessages from one person? I'm texting my wife and we both have iPhone's and she is getting the messages as an iMessage but the ones I'm sending her on my end show up at green. Sometime it will go as blue, get the little red exclamation point then send as regular SMS. I'm texting someone else too and she has an iPhone, and she is getting mine as regular iMessages and mine are sending as regular iMessages. Why aren't they sending to me wife as iMessages?
- Why don't I receive alerts or a notification when I receive a text and I already checked my settings? I adjusted my setting and even put the ringer and notifications on and put the volume and ringer on and I receive no alert, no pop up, alert or notification when someone texts me. Why? This is the iPhone X! I went to the cell phone/ carrier store and they didn't help me. They said to go to the apple store or check the settings. I already adjusted the settings. So what do I do now?
- Why do my imessages always send as texts? It's not for everyone, just one person. Every time I try to send a text to that person, it's blue for a little bit, then later turns green, sent as a text. And I text other people all the time that have iphones and those messages are always blue. Why does this happen? I doubt their phone is always off or anything like that.
