Constantly texting instead of iMessage to a phone number.

I want to be able to send SMS to the phone number of my friend and iMessages to their emails, but the two conversations keep appearing as imessages. Is it possible that I could choose what conversations I want to use texts instead of having to 'send as a text message' all the time. Thank you!

They would need unregister iMessage cellular number.

  • I'm unable to send iMessage, because the phone number of the recipient is "non-registered" even if I got the same phone number iMessaged last week.

    How can I fix this intermittent problem with iMessage?  How do I "register" phone number of someone with iMessage?

    Hey aggiedoc69,

    I understand you have a problem with an iMessage sending to a friend of yours. Let's see if we can get this sorted out.

    One thing to try is to remove the conversation that you have with that person and send a message to them in a new conversation. Take a look at the article for this and other troubleshooting options. You can also suggest your friend try these steps as well.

  • My I - phone 5 s is acting funny. I call a friend and she sees "Restricted" at the end instead of my name and phone number.  In addition, sometimes I call someone and the message is "that number is not available.

    My I - phone 5s has problems. I called a friend who has my name in his phone book and she sees on the screen "Restricted."  I try to call someone and I get"this number is not available. I call the company that provides the 'ULTRA' cell phone service and they tell me that I have to remove my caller ID.

    Your problem is a problem of carrier. You will need to go back to them and sorting.

  • Texts of Mac from e-mail instead of phone number

    My texts of Mac recently started coming to my email instead of my phone. Unless I put my phone also the text of my e-mail does not sync the two so I have two threads to send SMS. I'm not sure how to solve this problem, but it is a problem when someone continues to text to my Mac when Im not on it. I usually never receive messages. I know how to set up my phone to send and receive texts/emails, but I don't want that it set up this way. I want that all texts - on my mac, iPad and iPhone to sync to my phone only number.

    'texts' - do you mean iMessages, right? (Do not send as SMS Mac).

    On your Mac: Messages > preferences > iMessage account > start new conversations of > select phone number in the drop-down list.

    On iOS devices: settings > Messages > sending & receiving > start new conversations of > check the phone number.

  • How to send SMS to users of iOS iOS 9.2.1 instead of iMessage

    How can I send a text to the user to iOS instead of iMessage. I disabled iMessage in settings but when I tried to send it, it says that I need to use iMessage. I have unlimited SMS so I don't mind not just using regular texts. I did not so much unlimited data and I don't always have wifi to send TEXT messages instead of iMessage are more convenient for me. I've also updated to iOS 9.2.1 and I have 6 s

    iMessage is of Apple ID Apple ID. If you send it by SMS, you need to send it to a phone number, not their email address. Make sure you have their telephone number provided for them in the Contacts application. And both phones have the intention to send SMS.

  • IMessage is not recognizing my phone number

    I have message does not recognize my phone number. Therefore, it is send and receive of my Apple which is my e-mail ID. This is why I don't get texts by cell means. I can't seem to add a phone number to my account so that Imessage can check and use it. There is no telephone number listed for select in send it / receive email addresses... only options.

    I consulted my Apple ID on Apple's site, and here again it shows only my email addresses, and phone number. So I can't "Handle" account and select or add the phone number.

    So imessage is constantly "in waiting for Activation and I cannot receive any cell texts." Ive tried all reboot areas / time / flight mode / reset network connections... everything that was suggested short of a factory reset full... However I think that is just the phone to recognize the number?

    When I first set up my ID apple years I didn't have an ipod Touch... obviously, no results here. But now I have an iphone 5 s and its not picking up the number in imessage... It could be related?

    I would be grateful for any suggestion...

  • Using Facetime and iMessage with multiple phone numbers

    I often travel internationally. When abroad, I get a local SIM card and so a local phone number. The problem is, anyone trying to send messages to my becomes phone number inside a bounced message until I go home. I am looking for a solution to this problem. What I want to do logically is to pass all my iMessage and Facetime messages to my phone number internal to any international phone number that I have the chance to have for the week or two, I'm out of the country, without actually transferring phone calls for the international number.

    How can I accomplish this?

    If during the passage of an international SIM inside, if I use a different AppleID to save the number, can I add the domestic AppleID to iMessage and Facetime and have forward SMS messages to internal phone to my phone number - actually give my 2 phone numbers for text and using Facetime?

    What happens if I have a second iPhone (say one IS minimal) think I swap my SIM home - then I have two iPhones, one with an international SIM card and the other with an internal SIM card - then - I associate the two phones with the same AppleID (as if I had the same AppleID on an iPhone and iPAD) and make it work? In other words, a text Message sent to my iPhone internal SIM also towards my international SIM iPhone? This I must have my internal iPhone with me, or I can leave home and have it still work?

    Any suggestions for other ways to solve this problem?

    Thank you!

    You should always be available for the Apple ID that is associated with a phone number at one point.

    SMS is out of scope for this, because it is a function of carrier managed by your carrier at that time and linked to your SIM card.

    You put a new SIM card in your phone, FaceTime and Messages should register again your Apple ID for/with this new phone number shortly after. I do not think it deal only with the functions of automatic reference to FaceTime or Messages, because they are themselves a transfer function.

    To the Apple server... "go get my friend with the Apple ID of [email protected]." Server Apple think and said: "OK, it uses the 888-555-1212 phone number right now, so I'll send your application there.

    Ring, ring... you download a FaceTime application.

  • Your phone number is not registered with imessage

    I tried to cancel online check-in since I did not have my old iPhone. Whenever I get a code and enter the 6-digit number, I get this message "your phone number is not registered on iMessage". But I still don't get the messages from people who have some ipnone. IDN what to do now. What is supposed to happen when you enter the Apple code send you?

    Is that your new phone has the same phone number as your old iPhone?

    Also talk to your provider if your text plan is available properly.

  • notification of iMessage on Mac displaying the phone number, not name

    Only, I imported my contacts from my phone to my Macbook Air, but whenever I get a notification of text at the top right of my screen, it shows the phone number, not the name of the contact. Once I go into iMessage, the name is displayed. That's all just annoying that I don't know who texted me until I actually open iMessage. iCloud is enabled for my Mac and my iPhone.

  • I can't add the phone number to iMessages on my desktop

    I get messages from people on my phone also used to appear on the iMessages on my desk and I see now that I can choose only add e-mail addresses to iMessages on my desktop. Is it possible to add phone numbers? I used to be able to do and now it is missing and I get a LOT of messages on my phone number.

    Hello

    On the iPhone, make sure that the Send and Receive messages indicates the active phone number.

    Make sure that the iPhone and Macs use the same Apple ID and that they are marked Active.

    Try logging (Sign Out) of the Apple ID on the iPhone and then wait a few minutes before adding it back.

    This should trigger the pop ups on the Mac to accept that the Mac is aware of the iPhone number (again).

  • Do I lose all the iMessages that have not been delivered to my iphone if I withdraw (from iMessage) my phone number? My current iphone is broken and I am planing to get a new one, with in a few months.

    Do I lose all the iMessages that have not been delivered to my iphone if I withdraw (from iMessage) my phone number? My current iphone is broken and I am planing to get a new one in a few months.

    You may lose everything.  iMessage, like most e-mail services, don't keep permanently undeliverable messages.  They only keep in the short period send queue (I don't know exactly how much time but some Apple tech sites indicate no more than 10 days to two weeks) until they are purged.  That's pretty standard as otherwise, large volume, messaging services would be sitting on tera-bytes of messages not delivered each month.

    You actually have to change my phone number?  If not, let alone sign and only in iMessage when you have the new phone with this set of numbers upward to the service.
