SMS vs iMessage

• Siri are not sent by SMS in iMessage (OS Sierra)

  This seems to be a strange problem that I can not find a solution. My Macbook is connected to my iPhone SE. They all run the two most recent software updates.

  When I manually type my messages (in iMessage) on my Macbook to a non - iOS user, everything works perfectly (message sent is green). The problem is Siri. When I use Siri orders to send text messages to a user non - iOS (on my Macbook), she will not send SMS, only iMessage (blue). This causes the red exclamation point saying that the message send failed. If I click on "try again" on this error, the message (green now) sends very well.
  On my iPhone, text messages transfer is set up and send as SMS is turned on.

  So, how can I me Siri to use SMS and send text messages to my contacts non - iOS without having to press 'try again' on each message? Note that this command works fine on my iPhone.

  When you type a message what receiver do you use?

  When you use Siri one used?

  You have several entries in your application to Contact for this person? Maybe it's select the wrong one.

• questions about iOS 10 SMS and iMessage notification

  Hi all

  Having some problems with the SMS and iMessage notification since the upgrade to iOS 10. The problem is that sometimes there is no noise or vibration or anything like that when I get a message. I will just have to pick up the phone and there is a banner on the lock screen. And until someone asks, it isn't that I was away from the phone, or I didn't hear it go off... there was just no notification. It's as if the phone was in DND (which it was not).

  The other thing is, I NEVER receive a notification when I am sent an iMessage from a sender that is the only email address (like an iPad wifi only). In this situation, my phone never plays a sound never vibrates... you open the lock screen, but there's a new banner of message sitting there... as I said before - just as the phone is in DND... which is not.

  This problem happens on mine and my wife's phone. For any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

  Here is an update. I think I can find a solution to the problem. I used to have my "send and receive" in the messages app implemented with my phone number and checked e-mail address. I have deselected the e-mail address and have now received a notifcation for every message I've received so far. The sample size is a bit small at the moment but before this change, it is 50-50 at best.

• After the restoration how to recover my sms and iMessages

  Hello

  I restored my iPhone using iTunes restore, but I lost my SMS and iMessage. I have the call history, but not messages. Nevertheless, I have messages in the application of Message from my Mac. Is it possible to retrieve this information in my iPhone?

  Note: The setting on my iPhone I have activated the option iMessage Message.

  Thanks in advance,

  David

  There is no way Apple supported to retrieve messages, even if you have them on the Mac.

  Historical calls is related to icloud.

  There are a lot of scam 3rd party paid software out there that claim to be able to retrieve messages, but I've still seen no claim they work...

• 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

• Set a time to send SMS and iMessage

  Is there a way to set a time when an SMS or an iMessage must be sent, for example type the message in the middle of the night and set a time to send it in the morning.

  Hello

  Not with the current parameters in the Messages.

  You might be able to write an AppleScript or Automator item to do this, but both are out of my fixed skills.

• txt on the new iPad 2 Air messages only works with other Apple users.   How to send and receive SMS users iMessages?

  I can only use iMessage on my new iPad Air 2 with other Apple users.    Why can't send and receive text messages with SMS people?

  You need an iPhone and then use continuity iOS features to do - continuity use to connect your iPhone, iPod touch and Mac - Apple Support

  An iPad is natively unable to send SMS text messages such as those that require a connection of cellular voice channel.

• Block sms and imessage for number/contact without their u call blocking?

  Is it possible to block a contact or number of smsing only you and not from u call?

  No, blocking is an option all or nothing for any given contact.  Since the calls and SMS are based on the number of mobile phone there is no way to separate contact information in separate entries for separate blocking.

• Cannot start a new conversation with relay of sms on the Mac or iPad.

  Very strange problem and I have tried seemingly everything. SMS relay works fine on all my Apple devices. I can send and receive messages either SMS or iMessage. However, I can't start a NEW conversation with relay. I can only answer to the conversations that are already started. (does not matter if I started or the other party)

  When I want to send texts to my boyfriend who doesn't have an active conversation in the list of messages I have to text him to my main iPhone (that the relay is activated on) and after that the convo appears right in messages on mac, the other my iPhone and my iPad, and I can continue to send messages from any device.

  I tried to close off the coast of relay and allows once again. Restart the phone. Restart the mac. Disabling iMessage on the iPhone. Ensure that all devices are on the same wifi network. A lot of things that shouldn't matter...

  A few tips here after a reset of the iPhone?

  Also note that my iPhone is running iOS 10 beta 2 now, BUT I had this problem for some time. Long before I had the beta version.

  Well, that's disappointing...

• After the OS and IOS updates SMS problems

  I recently updated to IOS 9.3 and OS x 10.11.4. Since these updates, I had difficulties to send SMS.  iMessages forward vigorously. But I often get errors failure-to-send three and four times in a row when trying to send an SMS message longer than one short sentence. NOTE: I'm announcing this issue in section OS X El Capitan, but this applies to generated no SMS messages only on my iMac, but also on my iPhone 6 and iPad Air2, with 9.3 updated IOS updated.

  I have friends with non-Apple devices I have text frequently. Before the latest updates, my SMS messages would pass them quickly. Not now.  I don't know how to make Apple aware of this situation. I sent a direct message to @AppleSupport on Twitter. Not sure how that will be effective.

  Does anyone else have this problem?

  Note to moderators: don't know where this question from the list. Please go to the Board. Thank you.

  Hello

  Make sure the iPhone is on the same network local (he will exploit Wifi)

  Check the settings of text transfer.

  If everything looks OK, but it does not reset the text Forwarding (turn it off for a few moments and then On Again to generate and new Code on the Mac).

  Why would you make Apple aware of a program that has nothing to do with them or the update.

  SMS / text from always a function of carrier and not apple.

  If you are unable to send/receive text you can watch here If you cannot send or receive messages on your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch - Apple Support

  If this does not work then contact your cell phone provider and ask them why their functionality does not work on your phone.

• iMessage sending text

  Hello:

  I have a daughter who is now abroad. It can receive iMessages free, but the texts have a charge. Most of the time that I have no problem with it, but sometimes the e-mail, I see where the message is sent as a text. I'm still confused of differences between messaging and texting, so I do not understand why it is that some of the messages are sent in the form of texts. Is it possible to set this so that when I message her she will not send as a text?

  Thank you

  If you don't want to send SMS messages when iMessage is not available, go to settings/Messages and disable the option 'send as SMS if iMessage is not available '.

• How to text the iPhone 5 s. Is this all iMessage

  I have passed to iphone android and can't find a generic text on the phone application. Can I use iMessage to users not mac text? Thank you

  iMessage is not the app on the phone, the application is only Messages. This application manages the SMS and iMessage. If you have someone who is not an iOS device, when you send them a message, it is sent as an SMS. He must only ensure that you have an SMS plan via your cellular operator.
