I was able to receive and send text messages (NOT iMessage) from my Apple Watch, even if I had left my phone at work, 10 miles away.  How is that possible?

My phone does not connect to a WiFi to work because it's a restricted network.  I have a macbook and an ipad at home, but the iPad died (battery) and my macbook had power, but had fallen asleep.  I don't understand.  Think my phone has to be in my bag if I was getting texts, but he found in my office this morning.  Is my watch somehow 'work' through my macbook ASLEEP?

Hello

Subject to your carrier supporting the appeal of Wi - Fi and function has been activated on your iPhone, Wi - Fi calling can be used to make and receive phone calls as well as - when supported by the carrier - for text messaging / SMS over Wi - Fi.

When the Wi - Fi is enabled on your iPhone, the service is also available via Apple Watch, even when it is connected to a known Wi - Fi network and the pair iPhone is not available.

In the United States, for example, both AT & T and T-Mobile currently support send and receive SMS via Wi - Fi calling.

  • Windows XP SP3 - Outlook Express receives and sends mail but do not delete received messages. Can you help?

    Windows XP SP3 - Outlook Express receives and sends messages, but do not delete received messages.  Can you help?

    You have corruption of dbx files.
     
    Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox and move the messages you want to record off deleted items, and sent items. Locate the OE message store and then close OE.
     
    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.
     
    In Windows XP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.
     
    With OE closed, find the Deleted Items.dbx and Sent Items.dbx files and delete them. New files will be created automatically when you open OE.
     
    Compact all folders as described below.
     
    To avoid this in the future:
     
    Do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend all a 300 MB max for less risk of corruption.
     
    Information on the maximum size of the .dbx files that are used by Outlook Express:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=903095
     
    After you're done, followed by compacting your folders manually while working * off * and do it often.
     
    Click Outlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work offline (or double-click on work online in the status bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed.
     
    Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the processors and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:

  • I used chkdsk after trying to do a defrag and send a message that there was an error on the disc.

    original title: computer Dead after chkdsk

    I used chkdsk after trying to do a defrag and send a message that there was an error on the disc.  Asked me to use chkdsk after a statup as a volume is in use.  I did it but when I went through the suite, the computer was completely dead.  I think I gave the wrong settings of the chkdsk command.  How can I get my computer operational again?  I use Windows XP

    What do you mean by 'completely off '?  Is - literal?  All in all, nothing happens when you restart the computer?  No noise?  No fans? No beeps?  No video, no BIOS or POST information appear?

    I bought my laptop in 2009 and have the paperwork. Was supposed to receive and be upgraded to winndsows 7 but never received this notification and have always Yes paperwork to prove it. It was just 3 months before windows 7 came out.

    Sorry, the offer ended two years ago. The free upgrade was offered from the manufacturer of the computer.

The Windows 7 upgrade Option applies to Windows Vista Home Premium, Business and Ultimate editions. Your upgrade to Windows 7 will be the comparable version: so you will get either Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional (upgrade to Windows Vista Business) or Windows 7 Ultimate, respectively. The Windows 7 upgrade Option program works on June 26, 2009 through January 31, 2010. Manufacturers can choose to offer the option for a shorter period on the details of their PCs. offer, price, and delivery upgrade methods will vary.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones 9330 "SMS error 0, general problems. Can't send text messages

    My Blackberry 9330 cdma has been great work over the past 7 months.  From Friday 22 November, I can no longer send text messages.  I can receive texts, but every time I try to send a text I get the error message following the General problems""(SMS erreur 0, ID de Message XX). "

    I was using my phone as usual, sent the texts in the morning, but in the evening, I was unable to send a text with success to anyone.

    I have contacted my provider and they did not receive one of the error messages on the network, and there is no power outages in my area (I tried to send other areas of the city too).  I have pulled the battery to reset, deleted the data from the phone, reset all connections... all to nothing does not.  The issue seems to be with the blackberry.

    I'd appreciate any help or advice anyone can give me.

    Thank you

    It is usually a network problem if you have not any setting or update any software on the device. I contact your carrier and bring them to escalate your case through their support channels.

  • After that iOS 10 Upgrade, Siri can send text messages.

    I have an iPhone 6.  I have upgraded to iOS 10 (10.0.1) this morning.  Everything seems to work very well with the exception of Siri is unable to send text messages.  It was working fine before the upgrade.

    'Hey Siri' addresses.  I say to "send a message to Patti mobile xxxx."  Siri says and asks what I want to say.  I said the message.  It saves the message as usual and asks me if I want to send it.  I say 'yes '.  He says "your message has been sent.

    Then, I get an error message saying that the message could not send.  The message is then listed with a recipient of: _ $! < mobile >! $_ the message below is "Message send Failure."

    Any thoughts?  Thanks for your time.

    10 iOS update resets some parameters according to me.  It worked for me to go to Options - LTE data - cell - cell settings enable and toggle either 'Off' or 'Data Only'.  Texting non-Apple do not seem to work if "Voice & Data" is selected.

    Go to settings > Messages and make sure that iMessage is activated. iMessage will only send with other iOS devices. The iPhone will send SMS if you send to non - iOS devices. You must also make sure that you have given to lit and it is connected to the Wi - Fi or cellular data.
