My Iphone / imessage / facetime continues to send sms without authorization

Hello

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.

See you soon,.

First, there is no Apple in this technical forum from user to user.

Second we user do not care if you go to an Android phone, you are more than welcome.

If you get an error when you try to activate FaceTime - Apple Support or iMessage

You use a carrier not supported iphone as you said in your post, this is why he sends sms to the number to the United Kingdom.

Take your problem with your phone operator.

  • Will not activate my iPhone iMessage/FaceTime

    I have an iPhone 6 s (T-Mobile carrier) and recently updated to iOS 9.3.4.

    Last night my iMessage ceased to deliver my messages in two group discussions and would only send messages through text messages that received no my friends. A friend uses his email on his iPod for cat. I couldn't send anyone or a group of messages to anyone in these group discussions, but I could always send messages to other people. My FaceTime work again very well. So this afternoon I was looking for solutions to this problem. Many people suggested closing iMessage and FT, then by restarting my phone, I did. But when I turned my phone on iMessage and FT wouldn't activate. Since then the iMessages and FT have tried to activate, but kept a failure, errors, or servers have failed. I can't send messages or FaceTime anyone.

    I tried:

    The network reset

    Change the Date and time on Auto

    Ignition and extinction of iMessage/FT

    I also try to discuss with the Apple Support, but it takes awhile.

  • Companies in the country of residence, said Apple devices can send sms from one country to another unless the owner knows. If it's true there at - it an explanation why and how to stop this shit.

    Recently, in Albania, I have an mobile number, and normally they have offers and their packages on calls and sms. the sticky thing is they also have the option to go short of the amount you paid. But that's only if you activate and I know that you can go out, even if it's a prepaid number, strange o my eyes and strange i just that apple can send sms to the United Kingdom without I know and this power use iPhone like at the beginning, but never seen anything like this.  Mainly I mind because of confidence in the company and the product, not because it s a small amount of monye, but because I have no idea and I'm checking all my sms with this strange issue that i don't know who he is.

    How ever I'd like to know can´t it possible to a iPhone can send sms without I know number that I have no idea as I have registered it in my cell phone. So what to do, before I report it to the authority and the Police because it seems like a fraud. And I don't want to pay for something I've ever used.

    If your device sends an SMS to the United Kingdom, it seems that you are referring to the SMS activation for iMessage and FaceTime. It is a text Message hidden so check with the Apple server to the United Kingdom. If you are using media supported for the iPhone, they normally do not charge for these SMS, so I think that you are not using a supported carrier. If you have tried to enable iMessage and/or FaceTime, which is the cause. You should contact your operator to find out if they support iMessage and FaceTime. If this isn't the case, then you can not use these features.

  • iPhone refuses to send SMS to people who have enabled iMessage

    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.

  • I recently bought an iphone 6s and I'm having a hard time activating my number imessage FaceTime.

    I recently bought an iphone 6s and I'm having a hard time activating my number imessage FaceTime. I migrated to an iphone 6 and where everything worked like a charm to a nightmare without end I tried all support apple suggests more change my sim card, twice, even try different phone numbers did not work. I spoke with my carrier to check any international obstacle on my serve - no luck there. Contacted by phone - apple support chance either. I EVEN DEMANDED TO REPLACE MY UNIT WITH a DIFFERENT ILS DID and guess what - STILL NOTHING! I'm running out of ideas and patience. I even tried my number deauthorised for imessage/facetime and the Lady at apple support had no idea they could that, even if Apple has a webpage set up for that matter! Last but not least, I charged a sum of rediculus of money for "Invincible" sms for activation of apple through my device for activation - ALL for NOTHING! Can someone in the Apple support give me a solution to this?

    What country are you in and who is your provider? iMessage and FaceTime activation use SMS to the Apple activation servers to the United Kingdom. If you use a carrier not supported, it may not work. If you use a supported media, make sure you have your account set up properly for an iPhone.

  • 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

  • iMessage/Facetime not to activate iPhone 5s

    Hey guys,.

    I gave my mom my old iPhone 5s to upgrade its iPhone 4S. While trying to activate iMessage or Facetime (using mobile phone) - activation fails. It is said 'Activation' and in 1 minute, it fails. I contacted my operator Vodafone Romania and they have confirmed that number of iMessage is not blocked and even reset some settings of my network at their end. Always the same question.

    If during the 1 minute the "activation" appears under the iMessage/Facetime activation code I choose ' use my apple ID to send iMessage/Facetime ", I get my credentials for appleID and I press activate it if sits for about 1 minute, trying to"activate using my credentials"and then fails.

    My questions are:

    1. his old iPhone 4S is not called factory. I just out of the sim card, replaced by a SIM from nano and placed in the iphone 5 s. Y at - it a mistake to activation by using his phone number because the apple servers see that same phone number has been used to activate his previous phone? (I disabled imessage and facetime on iphone 4S now)

    2. is there a number of devices that I am allowed to have use my appleID? Or use facetime/imessages with? I have 3 iphones (2 in fact, since 1 is the old iphone 4S) and 1 iPad.

    3. I already tried resetting the iphone and connected to itunes, tried to activate 4 g network using appleID on wifi and more. Any other place on the iphone5S where I get my credentials of appleid work - but not for facetime or imessage. You have any other suggestions for me to try?

    Thank you

    Raluca

    I just checked with my carrier again. There are 20 + messages sent in the imessage Center, and they have all been charged. Is there a problem with the apple servers? The number of messages have been sent to is:

    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.

    It is not Apple to inform you of your phone, send international SMS. Your network provider is one that informs you of the international charges. It is usually noted in the terms of your contract/agreement with your wireless operator. Know who your carrier is and then watch the General Conditions and communicate with them. Unfortunately, Apple, can help you with charges to send SMS International.

  • iMessage/Facetime activation on iOS 10 bug

    Hello

    The bug appeared after the first intentional reboot after iOS 10 updated, my iPhone 5 has been disconnected for a few hours. When it started I started to receive petitions of iM/FT on reboot or a random time after even if iM/FT completely!

    I did not move my SIM card. If I refuse to activate iM I can't see my phone number in the Contacts section.

    The same bug persists on the iPhone of my 5s wife while his phone has never been disconnected except 10.0.2 update.

    Hi Valsh,

    Here is how to fix iMessage / FaceTime activation do not question.

    Before you begin, you'll need sort these things:

    • Make sure that in the phone application, you got your registered number. On top of "Contacts", you should see your registered number (My Number :). If not, you will need to go to settings → → my phone number and enter your number.
    • Make sure that the Date and time (in general) are correct. Set to "Set automatically" to ensure that the time zone is correct and the iPhone is at the right time.
    • Also make sure you have a working network. Problems of Wi - fi can cause iMessage activation problems therefore have active cell.
      For some users, the message for activation goes out as an international SMS. Make sure that your carrier allows these and you have a sufficient amount to send them.


    1. contact your operator

    First of all, make sure that your carrier supports iMessage or not. Contact the support team of carrier and check any condition limiting on your iMessage, blocks or text filters.

    2. airplane mode

    As strange as it sounds, maybe you should try this method if nothing else works. We found the airplane mode activation mode in one of the discussions. It sounds simple, and if it is correct, it would be nice, right?

    Here's how it works:

    Step #1. Get off at scroll → settings touch Messages and turn offiMessage (also turn off FaceTime)

    Step #2. Turn on airplane mode. WiFi will be disabled automatically.

    Step #3: Turn ON Wifi.

    Step #4. Return to Messages and ignition iMessage.

    Step #5. You will be prompted for your Apple ID if you have not yet added it. (otherwise, you get no notification)

    Step #6. Now, go back to the settings and disable airplane mode.

    Step #7. For the most part, you will see a notification that says "your carrier may charge for SMS" - press OK

    Step #8. If this is not the case, go to Messages, disable iMessage and then turn on again.

    Step #9. In a few moments, iMessage should be enabled.

    Step #10. You will see a greyed number and e-mail ID. A little later, the number should be checked, and that's all.


    3 Apple ID disconnect, connect

    Sometimes, you just need to logout of your identifier Apple and then sign in again.

    Step #1. Under Settings → Message, scroll up to where it says 'Send and receive'and tap on it.

    Step #2. Type on the Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.

    Step #3. Now turn off iMessage.

    Step #4. Wait for a while (toggle Wifi) and then turn on the iMessage.

    Step #5. Enter the details of your Apple ID now and try to reactivate iMessage

    4. set or restore

    If things do not work, you must first reset the settings of your location, then the iPhone. Reset is just a force so restart your data stays secure. After the reset, you will just connect with your Apple and implementing iMessage like new.

    If this fails, you may need to restore the iPhone as new or from a backup.

    Hope this helps,

    See you soon.

  • 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.
