Why won't my iPhone let me send an SMS message?
My father recently got an android after having an iPhone. My iPhone won't let me send him an SMS message. It only tries to send an iMessage. I DO have my SMS message setting turned on, so I don't understand why this is a problem.
The imessage works on a data plan. You can try switching off imessage and it might help.
On the iOS devices, Settings > Messages
On the Mac, Messages > Preferences > Accounts > iMessages account > Use the Sign Out button (removes the Apple ID effectively)
- Will it charge me a fee to send an SMS message? Whenever I don't have Wi-Fi and I try to text one of my friends with an iPhone i can't send it through iMessage so if I send it as an SMS message will it charge me an extra fee on my phone bill? (My phone plan has unlimited talk and text)
- Why won't my iPhone 3G send this picture message? My iPhone's sent pictures before, but it's not sending this one. It's not even failing, it's just been 'sending' for, i don't know, fifteen hours. I just tried to send another one to my friend's iPod, but it's doing the same thing. What the *** is up? It's really pissing me off because now I can't send any messages to this person because these are still freaking 'sending'.
- Why won't my 5c send a message as MMS when it's a long message to a non iPhone user? Whenever I type a LONG message to an SMS user (says Text Message in the messaging "box") my 5c won't convert to MMS and the recipient gets the message in dozens of out of order messages instead of the whole fluid message. I have MMS on in Settings. What can I do and why is it doing this?
- Why can't I send or receive SMS on my iphone? I have an iPhone 5c. Recently the service was restored but now I can't send or receive text messages. I've tried everything on the website.
