• Apple Watch is unsent SMS (texting) iMessages only

  I try to send through Siri texting (sms). I managed to write the message, I see it with a blue buble, but underneath, I have a "DO NOT SEND" only and not a button 'SEND '.

  I realized that to send the message, I just need to ask my wrist and it should go, but it does not work.

  If I activate iMessage on the iPhone, it works (not always, but very well).

  So is it possible to send SMS messages (no iMessages) with a Apple Watch?

  Thanks for your response

  Yes, it should work without problem. Try disconnecting your watch and re Peel. Also you restart phone and watch

• Travel - iMessage without data Plan?

  I'm on a long trip and having some problems with my iDevices and missing my laptop... but anyway...   I had a local with a minutes and SMS plan Sim Card, but the data is too expensive so I gave.

  I wish I could iMessage (send and receive) while WiFi, like many friends use iMessage.  I would also like to SMS while not on WiFi because I have not a data plan and SMS is the only way I can communicate (cheap).

  Is this possible?  I met problems with messages from people that I sent SMS as their response goes into my account to iMessage.

  Also, I tried to disable iMessage just mysteriously turn during the night, for some reason any.  Why we do this?  Is it because I'm on iMessage on my iPad?  iReally have no idea.

  Any help clarifying just how I can make communication work with my iDevices would be appreciated.  I don't want to have to buy a burner not expensive to connect Android phone.

  Thank you!!

  iMessage will certainly work over wifi just fine, no matter where.  iMessage only requires an Internet connection, but doesn't care if it's wifi data or cell - so no cellular data but wifi is fine.

  SMS texts however, by definition, require a cellular telephone and the service.  They do not use a wifi or cellular data channel.  Specifically, they are nailed to a small unused portion of cell vocal range.  The only way to send SMS texts through wifi would be to use a middle-tier application or a web service, or to use the e-mail and send to e-mail recipients specific carrier SMS gateway.

• Uninstall/reinstall the sticker pack in iOS 10

  I had some unusual problems with new stickers in the Messages. I had a few different packages installed and found that two of the packs do not appear in the box to 'Manage' the message store. However, the store shows them as installed. I've disabled all pack that I installed it, which seems to have made those able to be reinstalled, with the exception of those two who are seemingly invisible.

  I was not able to find another method to disable/remove these packets of stickers of my camera. They are Super Mario racing stickers and Stickmappers.

  I have a second phone for work and no problems with the new features of Messages here. Ask yourself if there is a way to reset the default message store or another way to delete/manage somehow the packs.

  Thank you!

  Greetings DGL,

  Thanks for your post here on Apple's Support communities. I see that both of you have installed packets of stickers do not show up to use and do not show on the page manage the iMessage App Store for you to manage. I know how much I appreciate the use of sticker packs. I'll be more than happy to help.

  If the packets of stickers was bundled with another application, they can be uninstalled by going to settings > general > storage management, in the first section of storage. Locate the application and press DELETE. If they are iMessage only apps they can be managed through the Manage tap in the app store of iMessage.

  If it's apps only iMessage, have you tried restarting your iPhone to see if they have or can be removed on the tab manage?

  Let us know.

  Take care!

• Receiving a few iMessages on rMBP only.

  Yes, I know, there has been problems with this in the past. I searched the forums extensively.

  Initially there were only one or two people only appeared on my rMBP Messages, and I swept.

  Now, it degrades, and I have about 6 people who I can only text me through Messages on my cell phone. It happens to iPhones and other similar. These messages on my phone at all. It's bad because I often miss business texts since they were sent to my laptop and not phone.

  I tried logging in and out of Messages, as well on the phone, then the phone with no luck. Then I got fed up with it and reinstalled OS X 10.11.5 and iOS 9.3.2. Still not good.

  I have both iOS and OS X messages set to send and receive on my phone number and the Apple ID and to start new conversations of my phone number. Text message forwarding is enabled on my iPhone

  As long as you are connected to the exact same Apple ID on your Mac and your iPhone, there is nothing that should only go to your Mac that was sent to your phone number. This is the right way to him. Things to check would be that you check "you can be reached for the messages to" article of iMessage in both devices. On Mac, Messages > Preferences > accounts. On iPhone, settings > Messages > Send and receive. Make sure that all addresses are checked on both devices. If someone has sent their message to an address that is not configured to receive on your iPhone, it will go only to your Mac if that is configured to receive via this address list.

  I also guess that you still have ownership of your phone number for making phone calls and SMS Messages with your carrier, Yes? As long as you do, and what I mentioned above is in place, I'd get Apple of Contact for support and service - Apple in charge. Support is currently free, and if it came to this day, they probably need to collect some capture data and climb the logs to an engineer for review as to the cause of this problem.

• iMessage works only with cellular data, only in wifi since the last update

  I did a few days ago was last updated (iOS 9.2) and since then I can only send and receive text messages to cellular data no iMessages, I have friends with iPhones that messages are only of text messages sent and received as, even if we have all two iPhones! I get this message when you try to activate iMessage "enable mobile data or use the wifi to configure iMessage.

  I turned on wifi and it accepts the iMessage parameter, but once I go back to the cell data, it shuts down my ability to send iMessages! I'm on a plane, so no credit, turned the phone on and off, have three bars of service (Telstra in Australia)... help anyone? !

  Make sure that your signature in the same Apple ID on both devices. Disconnect from the iMessage on both devices. Then, log back in to the iPhone. Once it was activated, log back in to the iPad. Then, on the iPad you should be able to go to settings > Messages and select your mobile number.

• IMessage works only with the last update in elcappitan

  Why not send iMessages on my iMac since the upgrade to the latest version of El Capitan?

  Hey lahugus,

  I use iMessage every day and if it stopped working for me all of a sudden I wouldn't be happy.

  I would first double check the messages preferences and check iMessage is enabled and that you are connected with the correct ID of Apple.

  If that is correct, turn off the computer, and then turn it back on and test again.

  If it does not sign iMessage and then again in it.

  These steps should solve your problem.
