What to do if iMessage sends SMS to number + 44 ... and other bugs related to the Apple
service.
These mistakes are a hundred years old at lunchtime, but there is no definite solution yet.
iMessage is a cool service with the introduction of which there was no need to pay for each
SMS. One problem is that it periodically falls off . And if in some cases you can simply
set up the iPhone correctly, in others you will not do anything. One gets the impression
that the operators are deliberately putting sticks in the wheels of the free messaging
service.
Problems
Do not change from year to year. We have written about these errors several times .
Putting it all together, you get the following list:
1/16
Quite often you can face “eternal” waiting for activation. It seems like the slider is in the
right position, but iMessage does not turn on. I got this "sore" when I flew to another
country.
That is, if the SMS gateway of a Russian operator incorrectly sends a service message, the
iPhone takes it for a regular SMS. And asks for more.
Solutions
You need to restart your smartphone, update the OS, or recover from a backup. But
everyone knows this anyway. Typically, these steps will not resolve iMessage issues.
There are a couple of other ways to get free messages back on your iPhone. Here is a list,
from simple to more complex:
Refill
2/16
Often iMessage cannot be activated due to lack of funds on the balance. As mentioned
above, the service SMS costs about five rubles. We replenish the account and, perhaps, the
first problem will disappear, iMessage is activated.
Better to enter your phone number and indicate your contact in the settings. We fill it to
the maximum, the iPhone will take information about the owner from there.
In the list of contacts, you need to create your own and specify it here: Settings - Mail,
addresses, calendars - My data .
3/16
And you can check the number here: Settings - Phone - My number .
Probably the most popular way to solve iMessage problems. Apple technical support also
advises to do this. Go to Settings - General - Date and Time . The slider next to
"Automatic" should be enabled, and the correct time zone should be below.
4/16
If all else fails, you can drop the network settings. Be careful, saved passwords to Wi-Fi
points will fly off. Go to Settings - General - Reset and click "Reset network settings".
Another SIM
If iMessage still won't activate, you can try starting it with a different SIM card. After that,
return your SIM card to its place and turn on the service again. Such a reboot can solve
the first two problems, but it is unlikely to stop the flow of SMS to another country.
Link to mail
It's a shame, but there is no one hundred percent way to solve the problem of endless SMS
to British numbers. After all, perhaps it’s not the user's iPhone, but the operator’s SMS
gateway. If you just can't turn on iMessage by your number, then it's easier to link the
service to your mail than to lose money.
Turn off iMessage, take out the SIM card, connect to the Wi-Fi network.
Go to Settings - Messages , turn on the service. Enter Apple ID, confirm if
asked.
5/16
We go to "Sending / receiving" and see that the phone number is inactive,
put a tick next to the desired e-mail address.
Ready.
I agree, it's inconvenient, you have to give your mail to correspond via iMessage. But it's
still better than nothing.
It would be nice for Apple itself to limit the number of service SMS in order to level the
costs of users in the event of unscrupulous behavior of operators.

Небольшой оффтоп…
Ребят, у кого-нибудь есть такая проблема, что в некоторых приложениях
(например WhatsApp) периодически (можно сказать постоянно) становится
неактивна кнопка диктовки голосом на клавиатуре. Помогает принудительное
закрытие приложения и его запуск заново. Может есть более изящное
решение проблемы? (в интернете ничего не нашёл)

Текст норм отправляется, а вот фотки нет. Может кто знает как исправить? С
мака норм на айфон, а вот с айфона на айфон никак.

@Groover86, у меня вместо фоток шлётся пустое облачко. Думал не шлются –
а оказалось надо нажать на кнопку “всё” в верхнем правом углу экрана.

Оператор yota не взымается платы за служебное смс, а вот МТС помню так 100
рублей сожрал. С МТС часто чудеса с деньгами случались!

@Максим Клименчук, ну вот с МТС у меня вот так решилась проблема. Сам
кучу форумов перерыл, но ничего не помогало, смсок на 500 рублей ушло )))
На Билайн, Мегафон и Yota никаких проблем не было.
