RE: Text Message Question

[Carolyn]

Go to Sounds and Haptics, and when you get on Messages, click on it, and go 
through the sounds to get the sound you prfer. I can't hear Ding all that well 
either and have a clearer sound.

After I upgraded to 16.02 I don’t get my message tone but get the ding tone 
that comes with text messages.  Also I don’t get voice over reading the 
messages but Siri.  How can I fix this?  The ding tone isn’t loud enough for me 
so I don’t hear all of my messages come in especially if my phone is in my 
purse.
 
Thanks for any help.

Hi,
OK, I think you have been bitten by the new layered notification settings which 
are not my favorite things.
 
Open settings, notifications, messages, sound, and select your tone again.  Or 
try a different tone, then come back and set it to your tone again.
That, in theory, should fix it.
BTW, if you go to the customize notification button at the very bottom, you can 
set how many times it repeats the notification before you read your message.  
So, if you like to be nagged about reading a message, you can set it to several 
repeats, .

RE: Text message question

[Christopher Chaltain]

Carriers still break up messages if they're using SMS. Carriers and messaging 
apps have gotten better at concatenating long messages, which is why you're not 
seeing it anymore.

Here's a good article explaining the situation. It's a bit dated though. 
https://joyofandroid.com/android-break-text-messages/

Here's another more current article that says it's still happening, but it 
isn't as thorough as the first article.

I don't see carriers breaking up messages these days. I think that applied back 
in the CDMA days. It could still be happening, but I don't see it when I text 
people or receive texts from Android users. I haven't seen broken up messages 
in years.

Re: Text message question

I don't see carriers breaking up messages these days. I think that 
applied back in the CDMA days. It could still be happening, but I don't 
see it when I text people or receive texts from Android users. I haven't 
seen broken up messages in years.

would bet that this should just mostly work, but there may be some clunky 
providers or messaging apps that have trouble with this.

I have send as SMS turned on because some of my contacts use Android.
Because of the 140 character limits of text messages, I am wondering whether 
all parts of a truncated message will be sent to the recipient or only the 
first segment. I should probably mention that I am using IOS 15.4.

Thanks.

Carolyn, I’m not trying to tell you what to do, but it’s so much easier to text 
from the messages app than the contacts app. Unfortunately I can’t explain your 
problem though.

iPhone. I got a text back from Android saying that somehow a message for 
someone else, who had a birthday today, went to her. Finally, I tried again to 
text to iPhone, finally, had to just get Siri to do it. She got it, because she 
texted back.

Neither text message was received in full.  Both text messages were around a

RE: Text message question

[Richard Turner]

Interesting.
I think the questioner was wondering if they sent a message say to an Android 
where they actually limit text message characters if it would be split into 
parts or just not complete.

Your SE should have received the whole thing unless the method of sending 
restricts to the 140’ish character count.

I’ve sent and received very long messages with someone with another iPhone with 
no problems.
The entire message goes through.

Re: Text message question

[Mike B]

I just sent my self 2 text messages to my SE 2020 iPhone using the, 
@vtext.com, domain from my computer.  1 text message was a little over 800 
characters and the 2nd text message was roughly 600 characters.

Neither text message was received in full.  Both text messages were around a 
144 character count

I copied / pasted the partial message into Word to get the character count. 
I'm curious if anyone gets the same results if they send texts using SMS. 
Normally I send text messages using MMS when possible.


Stay safe and take care.  Mike.

RE: Text Message Question

[Kathy Kalaluhi]

Hi 

Just want to let everyone know that turning on the option in settings to send 
message as SMS when Imessage is not available worked.  There seems to be a 
little delay in receiving the text but I am sure my son will see this as a good 
thing when the text is coming from me.  Thanks to all who provided me with 
solutions.  You are all wonderful.  So glad I recently joined this group.

Hello 

I have a question regarding text messages that is somewhat complicated to 
describe.  I hope I can explain this clearly.  

 

I have an IPhone 7 still using 10.3 or whatever the last update was for IOS 10. 
 After reading all of these emails from this group, I am holding off until IOS 
11 is perfect. Anyway, my son was also using an IPhone and I had him in my 
contact list with his mobile number listed as an IPhone.  Today, he decided to 
go back to using a Samsung Gallexy.  He sent me a text message as a test and 
asked me to respond.  I did and he did not receive the text.  I know that in my 
settings, I have IMessage turned on.  In order for him to receive my text 
message, I have to turn it off before sending him a text.  However, it is a 
pain to have to keep remembering to turn it on and off when sending texts.  My 
brother does not have a cell phone at all and uses an IPad so I need it to have 
it turned on when sending him a text.  

 

I tried to delete his contact card from my contact list and re-enter his 
information.  It is still showing up as an IPhone.  I turned my phone off 
completely and added the contact information again and it is still remembering 
his phone number as an IPhone.  

 

Meanwhile, he is trying to de-register his phone number from being an IPhone 
number through Sprint.  

 

So I guess the question is whether there is a way to make the iPhone forget 
that his number used to be an IPhone?  It is strange but he was using a Samsung 
prior to the IPhone.  When he went to using the IPhone, my phone automatically 
detected that it was an IPhone and now it seems to not want to forget it.  

 

One other thing I tried was holding down the “send” button to see if I could 
send it as a text instead of as an IMessage and it did not show it in the 
options that popped up.  Only sending with effects appeared in the bubble.  

 

My husband has the same phone as I do which is IPhone 7 and when he tried 
turning off IMessage in his settings, none of my texts would go through to his 
phone either.  

 

Any thoughts on this would be so much appreciated.

Re: Text Message Question

[Victor Gouveia]

I think this may have something to do with the fact that his number is 
integrated into so many apps that the iPhone is taking all those apps and 
compiling the data incorrectly.

For example, it might be using his phone number under the Face Time app, so it 
thinks it’s an iPhone, or Facebook  or Twitter apps might have something to do 
with it.

I would check the Face Time app first, just to make sure that isn’t the issue.

By the way, have you tried calling Apple support or doing a Google search for 
this issue?

  Hi Mike 

  Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.  

   

  When I deleted the entire contact and re-entered the information back into 
contacts, I did select mobile for my son’s phone number.  I even closed or 
turned off my phone off completely and turned it back on before sending a 
message to him.  It is still showing up as an IPhone in the message app.  What 
I mean by this is that when you go to messages and select compose,, the box for 
the text message appears as IMessage rather than text message.  I have only two 
other contacts who do not use IPhones and when you go to compose a text to 
them, they say text message rather than IMessage.  

   

  What I do not get about Apple is how it has a memory like an elephant.  When 
I hit compose to send a text to my son, and I begin typing his name into the To 
field, I get an option to send a text to him along with a sister and a couple 
of cousins from a group text we had going about a month ago.  Even though I 
deleted the group text, it is still appearing when I type his name or my sister 
or my couple of cousins into the to field in a text message.  I have to be 
awfully careful not to pick that as the name I want the message sent.  It could 
be downright humiliating depending upon who I am complaining about lol.  Just 
kidding.  

  Ok, thanks so much for your suggestion.  Hope someone else reads my email and 
has more to add. Have a good evening.

  1. Open your contacts, navigate to your son's entry,, & double tap to select 
it.

Re: Text Message Question

[Billy Maynard]

hi,

I have a thoguht about this.  is his mobal number the same from his iphone to 
his android?  I think I remember someone on here a while back saying something 
about numbers assosiated with iphones  had to be wiped or something it'll still 
show up as a iphone  in reguards  to immsage and maybe other apple things like 
facetime.  but, I forget how people said to fix this.  I'm sorry I couldn't be 
more helpful  but to offer up another reason your sons number is being weird.

  Hi Mike 

  Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.  

   

  When I deleted the entire contact and re-entered the information back into 
contacts, I did select mobile for my son’s phone number.  I even closed or 
turned off my phone off completely and turned it back on before sending a 
message to him.  It is still showing up as an IPhone in the message app.  What 
I mean by this is that when you go to messages and select compose,, the box for 
the text message appears as IMessage rather than text message.  I have only two 
other contacts who do not use IPhones and when you go to compose a text to 
them, they say text message rather than IMessage.  

   

  What I do not get about Apple is how it has a memory like an elephant.  When 
I hit compose to send a text to my son, and I begin typing his name into the To 
field, I get an option to send a text to him along with a sister and a couple 
of cousins from a group text we had going about a month ago.  Even though I 
deleted the group text, it is still appearing when I type his name or my sister 
or my couple of cousins into the to field in a text message.  I have to be 
awfully careful not to pick that as the name I want the message sent.  It could 
be downright humiliating depending upon who I am complaining about lol.  Just 
kidding.  

  Ok, thanks so much for your suggestion.  Hope someone else reads my email and 
has more to add. Have a good evening.

  Hi Kathy,

   

  Basically I think what you want to do is change the iPhone label to, Mobile, 
instead of iPhone.  To do this try the following:

  1. Open your contacts, navigate to your son's entry,, & double tap to select 
it.

  2. Navigate to the, Edit, option, & double tap to open it.

  3. Now swipe right to the,iPhone button, & double tap to open it.  This is 
where you change your son's phone label.  Swipe to the, Mobile, option, & 
double tap to select it.

  4. Find the, Done, button & double tap it to save your settings & you can 
close your contacts.

  I'm not 100% sure this is what you need, but if I'm wrong someone will 
correct me.  I believe you can leave iMessage checked as well.

  Take care.  Mike.  Go Dodgers!

  Hello 

  I have a question regarding text messages that is somewhat complicated to 
describe.  I hope I can explain this clearly.  

   

  I have an IPhone 7 still using 10.3 or whatever the last update was for IOS 
10.  After reading all of these emails from this group, I am holding off until 
IOS 11 is perfect. Anyway, my son was also using an IPhone and I had him in my 
contact list with his mobile number listed as an IPhone.  Today, he decided to 
go back to using a Samsung Gallexy.  He sent me a text message as a test and 
asked me to respond.  I did and he did not receive the text.  I know that in my 
settings, I have IMessage turned on.  In order for him to receive my text 
message, I have to turn it off before sending him a text.  However, it is a 
pain to have to keep remembering to turn it on and off when sending texts.  My 
brother does not have a cell phone at all and uses an IPad so I need it to have 
it turned on when sending him a text.  

   

  I tried to delete his contact card from my contact list and re-enter his 
information.  It is still showing up as an IPhone.  I turned my phone off 
completely and added the contact information again and it is still remembering 
his phone number as an IPhone.  

   

  Meanwhile, he is trying to de-register his phone number from being an IPhone 
number through Sprint.

that his number used to be an IPhone?  It is strange but he was using a Samsung

Don, you can also go into contacts.  Select a contact and double tap with 1 
finger.  When that contact entry opens, down toward the bottom of the hole 
thing will be buttons.  One of which will be send message.  See if that's 
any easier for you.

Conversely, if instead of typing the contact's name in the compose field
I type the phone number, I then can select the word message so as to
type the body of the text.  I wish I had verbalized this better, but
please someone tell me what I am missing.  It may be painfully obvious,
but not to me.  Incidentally, this is an iPhone 4 running IOS 7.1.1.
Thanks in advance.

Don Roberts
