How do I know if someone blocked me from text messaging on their phone?
Generally, you won’t know if someone has blocked SMS messages. The message will send as usual and the recipient’s phone will receive it, but they won’t get notification and it won’t show up with their other messages (most phones store messages from blocked contacts in a separate folder).If you have an iPhone and you iMessage someone who has blocked you, typically the iMessage will fail and your phone will resend the message as an SMS message. A failed iMessage that resends as an SMS is a good sign you’ve been blocked.You could also call the contact in question. Typically a blocked contact’s call is sent to VM after one ring. So if you keep getting VM after one ring, that’s also a good sign that you’ve been blocked.
If I give someone my email for iMessage, will they see my phone number?
No, if they iMessage you first, using your email address, which you’ve already added in settings as one of your receive iMessages from and reply to addresses, and you continue the conversation, they won’t see your phone number.If you start the conversation, and if you have changed the:iMessage settings > send and receive > start new conversations from > [your email address]They also will not see your number. Only your email address will show up on the message.Caveat: If your iMessage gets sent as an SMS (you can turn off this send as SMS option) during times when you experience poor connectivity, for example, it will show your number, since the iMessage rules don’t apply in these cases.

Why can't imessage & Facetime verify my phone number?
I have an iPhone 5 & every since I had to erase my iPhone in order to get back into it because I forgot my pass code I can no longer use FaceTime or iMessage with my phone number. The check mark beside my number is greyed out. Now all my texts shows up as my email & nobody knows who I am. I can only use my email to use those two features. Can anyone tell me what's wrong?
Why can't I send pictures on my iPhone when it's NOT on iMessage?
I have an iPhone 4 and it sends text messages perfectly fine. It sends pictures only on iMessage! Why won't it let me send pictures when it's just a regular text message (aka when the conversation boxes are green). Not all of my friends have iPhones so I can't send pics through iMessage to them, why won't my pictures go through? It will just say "did not send" or something like that. Help!
Do imessages show up on the phone bill?
I personally have a very strict dad who pays very close attention to my phone bill. All of my friends have iPhones, but I'm scared to let them actually text me. My phone is an iPhone 4s and updated to the lastest ios, and it's the AT&T. My dad doesn't like me talking after a certain time and talking too much. I was wondering if iMessages show up on the phone bill, and if they do, what it says. Does it say the time or the number you text? Or how many texts you send? Like I need to know that if my dad checked his phone bill right now on the internet if it would show up. Please only answer if you for sure know how it works. Thank you so much.
If iMessage someone in another country, will I get charged?
Me and a friend both have iPhones but I live in Canada and she lives in the US and I can't text her because of long distance charges. Right now, I am using a shitty texting app to text her but from my knowledge i can iMessage her with wifi. But I am out a lot and not always connected to my home wifi but I do have data, but will iMessaging with my data charge me because of my carrier?
What does it mean when there is no "delivered" text in iMessage? Does this mean that their phone is cellular-disabled or turned off, or just that they're in an area with no service?
What does it mean when there is no "delivered" text in iMessage? Does this mean that their phone is cellular-disabled or turned off, or just that they're in an area with no service?Apple's iMessage can send either regular text (SMS) messages over the cellular network, or send Apple iMessages through Apple's servers, bypassing the cellular SMS service.If the sender and recipient are both on Apple devices and are both logged into their respective Apple ID accounts on the devices, and both have working internet connectivity (cellular, WiFi, hotspot, etc.) the messages will be sent through Apple's servers. In this case, the messages will appear with a blue background and should be eligible for all the “enhanced” iMessage features.If either the sender or recipient is not logged into an Apple ID on their device (say they logged out or they're not using an Apple device, for example} or does not have an internet connection, then the messages will be sent as a regular, cellular, SMS, text message. These messages will have a green background.If the messages you are questioning have a green background, you should not expect delivery, read, or “typing” status updates. Such real-time updates are not part of regular, cellular, SMS, text messages, so you won't get them. (Some carriers, like AT&T, offer some real-time status messages, sort of like iMessage, in some very specific cases, but there's a laundry list of conditions that have to be met for it to work - it's not even close to iMessage's ease-of-use. I've been on AT&T for more than 15 years and I've seen it work only twice.).If the messages you're questioning have a blue background, but you're not getting the real-time status updates, it could be that the recipient is outside of a cellular coverage area, has their phone turned off (or is in Airplane mode), is set to do not disturb, lost their internet connectivity, or logged out of their Apple account at an inopportune time. There's no way for you to determine the exact cause.If the messages you're sending are of a time-sensitive nature (like, you need the answer right NOW and it cannot wait), but you're not getting the status messages or responses you expect, then I would suggest that it might be faster to try calling, rather than texting.
