I want to thank you Mike for your assistance in solving my problem. When you 
explained what had happened to your wife, I thought it was definitely worth 
making a call to see if my situation was similar. I talked to someone who had 
formerly been an Apple employee and he had my problem diagnosed in 30 seconds 
and taken care of completely in two minutes. I am so pleased. He sent me two 
texts to make sure I could receive them and then asked me to send one to 
someone who didn't have an I Phone. I did, and that was successful. My friend 
sent me two messages and I received them. Thank you so much. You have solved a 
problem I have had from the beginning no one understood.

Sometimes it is the least likely possibility that is the problem. Thanks so 
much. You have my heartfelt gratitude.

Hi Bonnie,

This is going to sound crazy as hell, but call your provider, & make sure they 
have your texting service turned on correctly!  This same sort of crap happened 
to my wife & I after we bought our iPhones.  We didn't have texting turned on 
with our prior cell phones, & the dipstick didn't turn it on when we bought our 
new iPhones after asking the dude to make sure & check to see that it is turned 
on!  Well, anyways we could get text messages from Verizon & other iPhone 
users, but not from anyone else!  Well, I called Verizon, & after wading 
through a couple of the Verizon tech support idiots I finally got a supervisor 
that checked, & found out that our texting service was never turned on!  Then, 
that begged for the question, why in the hell did it take so much effort to get 
this looked at?!  Why couldn't a lower tech support agent check this out?!  Why 
did such a simple task have to get elevated, & tempers get flared up?!

This might not be your problem, but it wouldn't hurt to ask the question.
Take care.

Since I first got my I Phone, I have had problems with sending texts to anyone

phone does not. I have friends in my contacts with all their information,

I was told I would fix this problem if I turned sms on. I checked that out

The texting on my I Phone was set in the blocked position making it impossible 
for me to send or receive texts from users of other cell phones other than I 
Phones. The person I spoke to was a former Apple employee now working for 
Verizon and had everything squared away in two minutes. He said he knew 
immediately what my problem was.

The text feature on my I Phone was set to blocked messages which meant I could 
not send or receive texts from non I Phone users. The person I talked to at 
Verizon said he didn't think it was something I did and corrected it on his 
end. I hope that clarifies. He said as things were I would only have been able 
to receive and send messages with other I Phone users. He did specify my phone 
was set to blocked messages with other cell phones and never said text was 
turned off. He felt the unblocking of messages had never been done at all, and 
that is why he didn't think I had caused this to happen. My phone was that way 
from the very beginning. I hope this helps.

Subject: Trouble With Text Messages

 

Since I first got my I Phone, I have had problems with sending texts to anyone 
who uses a cell phone which is not an I Phone. I Phone texts go through as they 
should, but any text message I send going to anyone with any other type of cell 
phone does not. I have friends in my contacts with all their information, 
mobile and landline numbers and email addresses. 

 

I was told I would fix this problem if I turned sms on. I checked that out 
today and my sms was turned off. I turned it on and tried to send a message and 
still cannot do it. Do you have any other suggestions of what I can to to fix 
this problem? I was so hoping this would work, but it didn't. Although I didn't 
think it would, I turned off the phone and turned it back on. I still can't 
send messages to others. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, all. Is anyone using Microsoft OneNote successfully with the iPhone and IOS 
10? I need to do some project management at work, and I am curious as to the 
experience of list members with this program.

Thanks.

Re: Trouble With Text Messages

2017-05-04 Thread Mike B. 
Hi Bonnie,

This is going to sound crazy as hell, but call your provider, & make sure 
they have your texting service turned on correctly!  This same sort of crap 
happened to my wife & I after we bought our iPhones.  We didn't have texting 
turned on with our prior cell phones, & the dipstick didn't turn it on when 
we bought our new iPhones after asking the dude to make sure & check to see 
that it is turned on!  Well, anyways we could get text messages from Verizon 
& other iPhone users, but not from anyone else!  Well, I called Verizon, & 
after wading through a couple of the Verizon tech support idiots I finally 
got a supervisor that checked, & found out that our texting service was 
never turned on!  Then, that begged for the question, why in the hell did it 
take so much effort to get this looked at?!  Why couldn't a lower tech 
support agent check this out?!  Why did such a simple task have to get 
elevated, & tempers get flared up?!

This might not be your problem, but it wouldn't hurt to ask the question.
Take care.
Mike

I just tell Siri to send text message to whomever it is and Siri says: "what do 
you want to say to the person's name. then I state my message and Siri repeats 
the message and  Siri asks me if I want to send the message. If it it contains 
what I wish to say to the person, I say "Yes." and off it goes just as a 
regular iMessage between iPhone recipients would. I hope this helps. I also 
hope the JC albums are giving you pleasure.
