Hi Bonnie, Just for clarification for the future, was your problem, a matter of your texting plan being disabled, or was it an iPhone setting problem of some sort? If it was an iPhone setting problem, would you please specify? You're most certainly welcome, & thank you very much. Take care. Mike Sent from my iBarstool.

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.

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 Sent from my iBarstool.

Other than that; I give up. You are definitely in a conundrum of sorts. From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Bonnie Blose Sent: Thursday, May 04, 2017 3:09 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com 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.
