Cannot send SMS to users no iMessage!

This is probably my fourth post on this same issue that nobody is to give me an answer, or telling me to try something that I said did not work.

I have an iPhone 6s with MetroPCS, for someone who is not using iMessage, the 'Add photos' icon is grayed out and it won't let me even to send an attachment. Before the last update, I was able to select the "Add attachments" button, but it is still impossible to send to the other person. I can't receive messages from group to anyone, unless they are all using iMessage, also to receive photos of users who are also no iMessage. iMessage is turned on, and I tried it works and stop. SMS is selected. I tried to take the sim card out, turning the phone, return, and reinsert the sim card and which worked for only 5 minutes, before aging again on the attachment button Add. WiFi and cellular data are both on, the two won't let me send an attachment. I reset the network settings, I did a hard reset on my phone. I did a reset based on my phone, I know that's not a problem of the carrier because it allows to work, until after I did an update in November 2015. Since then, she has been less effective. Please someone help me.

Hi keakuki,

I understand that you have difficulties to send SMS and MMS messages or receive group messages since you last updated your iPhone.   Your profile says you are using iOS 9.3.  You have updated to the latest version, which is iOS 9.3.1?  Once you have done this, the next step would be to see if MetroPCS has updated their software. given that the SMS and MMS messages must go through their system.

If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

Restart your device and check for updates

  1. Restart your device.
  2. Looking for a carrier settings update.
  3. Looking for an updated software iOS.
  1. Make sure that you are connected to the Internet through cellular data or Wi-Fi.
  2. Go to settings > Messages. Check that the type of message you are trying to send is lit (iMessage, SMS, MMS or e-mail group):

If your messages are not sent or you do not receive the messages

Check your details:

  1. Make sure you use the right phone number or email address of the contact.
  2. Go to settings > Messages > blocked and make sure that the contact is not on your list of blocking.

If messages will not send to a certain person or you need assistance with group messages

Sometimes it will not send your messages to a particular contact, or you might have problems with Group Messaging. For example, you could meet a group conversation and receive your own message. Or you could get a new phone number and see your old listed as a recipient in an existing group conversation.

Delete the conversation * who has the problem and start a new conversation:

  1. Open your Messages and view your list of conversations.
  2. Straight shot left on the conversation you want to delete. Then, remove faucet.
  3. Open your Messages, type and enter the phone number or email address of your contact or contacts.
  4. Write a new message and press send.

* When you delete a conversation, you will not be able to recover. If you want to save parts of conversations or their attachments, you can take screenshots. You can also tap a bubble attachment or message, and then tap more > save.

Take care

    Cannot send SMS on Verizon device
    Posted the: March 7, 2007 20:11
     
    The following code snippet to send a text SMS using WMA works very well on a T-Mobile (e.g., 8700 g) and a Cingular device (e.g. 8700 c):

    Con MessageConnection = MessageConnection) Connector.open (address);

    TextMessage msg = (TextMessage) con.newMessage (MessageConnection.TEX T_MESSAGE);

    msg.setAddress (address);
    msg.setPayloadText (content);
    con. Send (MSG); throws IOException on Verizon devices

    However, the same code does not work on Verizon devices (e.g., 8703e and 7130e). The line: con.send (msg) throws an IOException exception. I tried to use different formats for "address" (e.g. "1234567", "+ 1234567", "8001234567", "+ 8001234567", '18001234567', ' + 18001234567 ", etc." "") but they all failed.

    Does anyone know if sending messages SMS using WMA is supported on devices from Verizon?

    I also note the same problem on a Sprint BlackBerry Pearl and 8830. Namely, impossible to send SMS messages and we get an IOException with null message when it fails. Exactly the same code works fine on blackberry mobile PHONE.

    Is there a solution to this problem?

    I think the quality of RIM devices on CDMA technology is of bad quality. RIM rushes these devices at the door. In addition to not being able to send SMS, Sprint devices also seem to inexplicably lose network and requires a MASTER WIPE to restore network connectivity. None of these problems occur on the bays of GSM.

    Someone could rim please chime in here and confirm whether or not sending SMS CDMA phones should work? I burned just 3 hours playing with different things and play with smsdemo.

    If this is a bug, it would be nice to have confirmation that we can all stop wasting our time.

    If it's something that requires the operator level signature, it would be nice to know, too.

    By program, sending messages on mobile CDMA is currently not supported. As a possible workaround, you can use the API call to send SMS messages via the Messaging Application:

    True... but this just opened the app with pre-filled information. How to send without user intervention?

    This is possible by using the EventInjector and the trackball/wheel orders to send the message using the menu of the injection.

    Here is an example of code that seems to work on Sprint and Verizon devices:

            DatagramConnection connection = null;
            try {
    
                byte[] bytes = messageAsString.getBytes();
                connection = (DatagramConnection) Connector.open( url );
    
                Datagram datagram = connection.newDatagram( bytes, bytes.length );
    
                connection.send( datagram );
            }
            catch (Throwable t) {
                log.error( "Unable to send SMS to " + entry.getRecipient() + " with the url " + entry.getHttpRequest().getUrl() + ".  Message: " + t.getMessage(), t );
                throw t;
            }
            finally {
                IOUtility.safeClose( connection );

  • Cannot send SMS

    I have a Apple Watch watch OS 2.2.2 (13V604) running and one 5 iPhone with iOS 9.3.5 (G 13, 36). Previously, I found that the watch would not send SMS free hands unless I turned on iMessage; These messages would simply disappear, but things seemed to work for a few weeks after iMessage has been activated.

    Now, I find that the following will happen if I try to send messages to someone who doesn't use iMessage (e.g., Android users):

    'Hey Siri, send a message to $PERSON saying $MESSAGE'-> in a few seconds, a notification indicating that the message is not sent. The message does not appear in the mail app on the iPhone, but I know that many have unsent messages in the message shows application (it seems impossible to return or reject these). If I select a message manually via the mail app on the watch (whether by you answer or make a new) then it is sent correctly.

    Unfortunately, the sending of text messages hands-free for Android users is very high on the list of the essential requirements for the use of this watch. Can anyone suggest how to deal with this? NB. I already turned iMessage market again and power cycled shows and the iPhone.

    Hello

    I had problems with iMessage for centuries, but this time he makes me crazy. I have a few contacts where I can not simply opt to send the message in the form of SMS, only iMessage. Received SMS messages are carefully updated in iMessage, I can make and receive phone calls, but simply cant't send as SMS. See the image below. Note fortunately to dial, but refuse to send messages in the form of SMS.

    I tried to delete the contact, contacts of disconnect to iCloud and back in (on the phone and iMac), disabled in iCloud, rebooted the iPhone, restarted iMac and which do not. Nothing helps.

    Someone has any idea how to do this job?

    I use the Apple as the Iphone products for centuries. Eversince I have spend provider to another (which has no contract with apple), my custody Iphone sms sending abroad without knowing me, until I receive my Bill.

    All messages are a number in the United Kingdom. I tried to find out which application is causing the problem. To read other users ' questions, I guess that's iMessage.

    I use my phone for sms not talkative iMessage. All the app are disabled, iMessage and FaceTime. How do these apps still send sms? I never authorized iMessage or any application to send sms. Apple why phone texting without knowing me?

    How can I block apps to send sms? If anyone knows how, please let me know. It is ridiculous that I have to pay for something I don't use. If apple likes to make apps that sends messages, apple should foot the Bill for the users.

    If this issue cannot be resolved, then I need to consider using android.

    Are these people that you send using iPhones or iPad?  iMessage is Apple free internet e-mail service and works in Apple devices, but not just iPhones. If someone has an iPad only and uses an iMessage account on the iPad, then they can't get SMS text (unless they pair the iPad with an iPhone).  iPads cannot natively receive or send SMS texts.

    Hello

    My father is in the hospital and trying to help my mother to use the computer.

    There are 3 email accounts set up - hotmail, yahoo and aol.  AOL is the Internet service provider.

    The hotmail and Yahoo are working very well.

    In the AOL inbox sent, there is no messages - (note: the messages have been sent and not deleted).

    When sending emails to AOL, they will but do not appear in the field sent on their computer.

    It works on my computer when I log onto their account I have send a message and you can see the old messages and the ones I sent.

    The error message that appears: "unable to send or receive messages for this AOL.

    I'm not a fan of the AOL software. Personally I would not use AOL as my Internet service provider. I only had a close encounter with the AOL software in recent years. Finally, the problem has been solved and it was not caused by the AOL software but he could have easily.

    AOL has always provided a brand of software developed by others. Thus, they mark Outlook Express and all changed the menus etc then any that have a reasonable understanding of Outlook Express met with unnecessary difficulties trying to solve a problem. It was of course on a Windows XP platform.

    With AOL, another problem is that they are slow to update their versions software brands and users to register on AOL in the retail stores are supplied with CD/DVD with versions to software. What I suggest you do is confirm with AOL that you have the latest version of their software for a Vista computer. When you ask pointed questions you get better answers.

    The software for AOL email on a Vista platform is based on Windows Mail. Do not confuse Windows Mail with Windows Live Mail, which is part of the package available to you if you sign up for Windows Live Essentials. They are not the same.
    http://explore.live.com/Windows-Live-Essentials-system-requirements

    I don't know how Windows Live Mail would work with AOL as Internet Service provider, change to unknown software in a difficult period for your mother could create problems when his thoughts are elsewhere.

    My following link can provide a way to correct the problem. My hesitation is that you're dealing with a customized version. Before you try, it checks if there are messages in the Outbox.
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/941090/en-GB

    If the KB 941090 solution does not work, it may be that a solution that worked with Outlook Express might be interesting to try.
