Send SMS on MacPro and not on iMac

Hi all

I have an iPhone, my friend does not.  Of course, we can text each other all the time between our phones.

I have also a MacBook Pro (OSX El Capitan), and my friend and I can text each other, it via his phone and me via my MacBook Pro.

I have also an iMac 27 "(also OSX El Capitan) but my friend and I can't text each other through my iMac."

On my iMac, try and get the following "[telephone number] is not from iMessage.

His contact in the AddressBook information are not listed as an iPhone just a mobile phone.

And we can still text via my MacPro (which has the same address as the iMac information (thanks iCloud) and his phone.)

If someone knows why and has a solution, I would be grateful!

THX.

    Help appreciatede

    The first thing you need to check: are you able to access other services my connection your phone by USB to the computer (line GPRS, calling). Because it requires the call or SMS access to the port. And you said that it is economic by sending an SMS using mobile, that depends. But most of the time, it is best to use the SMS service provider getway. They provide details http or FTP, there just put or message in the form accepitng, things happen by providing it service.

  • Send sms - timeout

    Hi all

    I have a simple code to send sms. It works very well. Just a glitch. How will I know that sms cannot be sent? Some timeout for the connection or otherwise? Let's say that if there is no network, no sim card or any credit. Thank you

    Here is the code:

       public static void sendSMS(String content, String number) {
            MessageConnection mc = null;
            TextMessage msg;
            try {
    
                mc = (MessageConnection) Connector.open("sms://" + number,Connector.WRITE,true);
                msg = (TextMessage) mc.newMessage(MessageConnection.TEXT_MESSAGE);
                msg.setPayloadText(content);
                mc.send(msg);
    
            } catch (final Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
                UiApplication.getUiApplication().invokeLater(new Runnable() {

                        Dialog.alert(e.getMessage());
                    }
                });
    
            } finally {
                try {
                    if (mc != null) {
                        mc.close();
                    }
                } catch (IOException e) {

    I solved it by killing the thread that sends sms if it does not have 15 seconds. It's the best solution I've found.

  • iMessage not send SMS

    I have two Mac OSX 10.11.3, a mini and a MB Pro.   IMessage on my MBPro using is like on iOS (2 of them).  This allows me to send and receive messages text iMessage.   However, on the Mini, I am not able to send/receive messages text no iMessage users.

    I awake tonight and found that my iPhone6s + no will not send SMS to anyone. iMessages work very well. I have to be able to roll over the phone. I have hard to restart the phone. iMessages are very good. Other iPhones in the house (older) send fine. Any ideas?

    Hello. Here try the troubleshooting steps: If you cannot send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch - Apple Support

  • 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.

  • BlackBerry smartphones not able to send SMS

    Hi all

    I am not able to send SMS from my smart phone BlackBerry for the last day. I checked all the possible things, including my network, the settings of message, etc. I am able to choose contacts and messages of type, but when I try to send it it gets hanged, the track pad doesnot send it... even if I try to click on the Green tab for options to choose from, it doesnot wrk... so I have to press back, once I press back I see the typed message highlighted in green in my message box and if I click on it it goes away. The Envoy of sending doesnot show the message also when I check with the recipient to inform that the message is not delivered. Could someone advice why this can happen? also is it due to a virus? If so can the analysis and restore back up my curve with difault settings... reuqest you please please reply back soonnnnnnnnnnnnnn... My curve model is 8520, VODAFONE and OS v5.0 carrier...

    Thank you

    Steeven

    Perform a simple reboot on the BlackBerry this way: with smart BlackBerry poweredphone, remove the battery for a minute and then reinsert the battery to restart. A reboot in this manner is prescribed for most defects and errors of operating system, and you will lose any data on the device doing so.

    Now after restarting and baseline activity calmed down, try again your SMS.

    And no, there is no virus on your BlackBerry or any BlackBerry. Has never been yet, you're not the first.
