Send texts between iPhones

I know, I can manually for text an iPhone with my iPhone, (no iMessage) or set it to text only, no iMessage, but is it possible to automatically send as sms when I'm on an edge network, or only as iMessage when I'm on wifi? Also why all the contacts have a message thread separate their phone number and email? (it is only of texts between two iPhones, not texting-iPhones)

No, you cannot choose which message protocol to use based on the quality/type of connection you have. You can leave your comments at Apple to suggest that they implement this function: http://apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.

Messages should not create threads separated for each of contact addresses. As long as you have all the addresses listed for the person in the Contacts application, they must be grouped.

  • 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.

    The article below provides a lot of information and tips that can help you solve the problem of sending and reception of items between your iPhone and your MacBook Pro troubleshooting 6 using airdrop.

    Use AirDrop to send the contents of your Mac - Apple Support

    Tips for sending items

    If you do not see the recipient in the AirDrop window or sheet:

    • Make sure that the two devices have on AirDrop and are less than 30 feet (9 meters) on the other.
    • If you send to an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch:
      • Your Mac must be a 2012 model or newer with OS X Yosemite or later.
      • The iOS must have Personal Hotspot device disabled in settings > cellular.
    • If you send a Mac:
      • If the receiver Mac uses OS X Mavericks, Cougar or Lion, then open a window AirDrop: choose go > AirDrop in the menu in the Finder bar.
      • If the receiver Mac is a 2012 model or, click "Don't see you looking?" in the drop window or the sharing of the sending of the Mac spreadsheet. Then click on "Search for an older Mac."
      • Know if the Mac has "block all incoming connections" enabled in the privacy & security preferences. A Mac does not receive items using AirDrop if this setting is enabled.
    • If AirDrop on the receiving device is set up to receive points of contacts only, make sure that the two devices are connected to iCloud. Also make sure the associated e-mail address or phone number to your identifier Apple is in the Contacts application on the receiving device.

  • Problem syncing between iPhone 5 (iOS 9.2.1) and iMac (OS 10.11.3)

    I have a problem syncing between iPhone 5 (iOS 9.2.1) and iMac (OS 10.11.3). Purchased or updated on the iPhone apps are not copied on the iMac, during synchronization.

    Howdy Paul Peeters,

    I understand that you purchase apps on your iPhone and you want to synchronize on your iMac.  For these applications automatically added to your iMac, you may want to activate the automatic downloads on the Mac.

    This article explains what you see.

    If your applications are not transferred from iTunes to your device after the update to iOS 9 - Apple Support

    iOS 9 includes a new feature that allows you to download only the parts of a necessary application for your device. This saves the storage space on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch when you install an application that supports this feature. Update to iOS 9, iTunes is not used to restore your applications when you restore your device. Instead of this, optimized versions of your apps download from the App Store directly on your device.

    If you can see the apps on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, and they seem to be waiting to download, make sure that you are connected to WiFi or Internet. Once you are connected, the optimized versions of your apps download automatically to your device.

    Similarly, applications that you add to your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch won't sync or transfer to iTunes on your computer. If you want to download apps from iTunes, turn on automatic downloads in iTunes preferences. You can also download previously purchased apps to iTunes.

    Best regards

  • Bluetooth connection between iPhone and iPad

    My iPhone 6 does not connect to my iPad via bluetooth.

    I previously used the bluetooth connection between my iphone and iPad to connect the iPad to the internet. Despite the two devices were among the recognized bluetooth devices and they were previously linked/partner, it was not possible to establish a connection.

    Perform the actions recommended for repair/reissue apple support - 1. Toggle bluetooth, 2. turn on/off the unit, 3. remove the iPhone/iPad bluetooth connections - 4. Reset network settings - 5. Reset all the settings-, nothing works.

    IPhone/iPad devices isn't even on the list of bluetooth devices available on the iPhone, or iPad. Everything that happens is the animated icon turns all the time.

    Deleting a connection to a device and bluetooth speaker/amp from the pairing of the speaker/amp system process made a new connection.

    iPhone 6:

    Model: MG4F2QN/A

    iPad:

  • Cannot send texts

    I can't send texts from my phone Moto G 1st generation. I can't even meet one that I received. I get a message "send", but the text is never sent. After a while, I'll see the text displayed with a triangle and an explanation mark in the Center and my phone is my text and warns me I am waiting for messages.

    What app do you use? SMS are not like emails and a subject is not a normal part of a message.

    I suggest that you use the 'messages' or 'Messenger' of Google stock.

  • 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.

  • Device of blackBerry Smartphones, sending text messages invisible to the unknown mobile number

    Hi, just bought a unlocked 9360, having a strange, new problem in Blackberry, so be, permissions or something, but the device sends texts to a number of mobile which is not in my repertoire, recent calls or texts. My allocation of text on O2 came down, I changed to a Giffgaff sim and who goes down also.

    I know that the phone number as Giffgaff sent me a list of numbers, the texts were out to and they are all the same one.

    Sorry to be a beginner, if it's as simple as the app permissions.

    Let's be clear. There are SMS messages are automatically sent from the device and you're not sending them? If this is the case, then now, follow these steps:

    Turn off the mobile network radio. Perform a full backup. Do a security wipe. When you do the wipe of security, check the box to delete applications.

    See http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB14058 about security wipe.

    After clearing security, do a selective restore of just your personal data. Do not restore settings or application data. But, if you can start from scratch and go do a restore, do.

    Go ahead: set a device password and lock your device when you have eyes on her. Don't lend your device. Don't let anyone use it. There is a setting in the options to require the device password in order to install an application. I recommend that you enable that. Finally, be careful what apps install.

    My best guess is that there is a malicious application on the device. Maybe it was when you bought it, maybe someone put there after you acquired it, or perhaps you have inadvertently installed. Cannot be sure. But obviously this is not something you want, at the very least, and you don't know what it is to delete.   This is my reason for the security wipe.
