Motorola v551 Hello, My name is Richard and I am having a problem with text messaging. I can send and receive all text messages unless they have an attachment. I click on the message and it has download in the lower right corner of the screen and when I push the right soft key it will say downloading and after awhile it will say unable to download message or something like that. I assume they are pictures or animations but I can never get them to download. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Chuck
Before you do that and erase everything on your phone, check with your cellphone provider. Some companies allow you to receive text messages, but not send unless they are in your package. Also you may have a limit to of the number you can send.

With iPhone, check you are sending Text message rather than iMessage.

Hi Richard. Thers a good chance you have mail preferences setup to compose new emails in "plain text". And/Or, "Use the same message format as the original message", meaning if you reply to someone who sent you an email that is in Rich Text Format, then your reply will be in Rich Text Format but, if they send you an email in Plain Text Format, then your reply, and possibly any forwarding will be sent in Plain Text also.

For website addresses to be "clickable links" in mail, you need to ensure all emails you send, forward, or reply are in Rich Text Format.
go to Mail... Preferences... then select the Composing tab and ensure Message Format is set to "Rich Text".
Further below in the same tab you will see "Responding" and a tick box for Use the same message format as the original message (Respond using Rich or Plain Text).
If you always want to respond or forward in Rich Text only and every time, then deselect that option.
All links should work and be clickable from then onwards.

You can highlight a non working website link in the email body, right click, then select "Link" then "Add Link" to make it clickable but, you will receive a notification about converting this message to rich text format?"

Basically, the links will not be clickable if you are setup to compose new emails in Plain Text. Nor will any replies or forwards you send that are changing to Plain Text to match the format received by you from others.
Always end, reply and forward in Rich Text Format

Hope that helps.
Regards
Paul

Hello Dawn,
You cannot send or receive text messages with Google Voice, unless you have your own, Google-issued Google Voice telephone number. You don't -- you have a Google Voice "lite" account, which uses generic Google relay numbers instead.
If you are located within the 48 contiguous US states, then you can get your own GV number.

Hi, this is simple, there is what is called a message center number on every mobile phone that allows you to send and receive text messages. Since you can not send and receive text message, then it's either the message center number is not there or that you have a network problem from your service provider. Contact the customer service section of AT&T to make a complain about it and the problem will be resolve immediately..

First you need to get into your phones setting, then touch the pannel for text messages and click get settings.

After you are in your settings there will be a pannel to put in your voice mail and text message number.

hello willdee
best thing is to contact your sim operator and check with them if you have the correct settings for sending texts.
there they should give you the correct number to send txts.
