I can verify that once installed, it does indeed allow forwarding of text messages, as well as deletion of individual messages, a more detailed call log and the option to paste contact phone numbers into a message. It does not replace your normal sms application, it is a standalone component. You can forward text messages from your iPhone to an iPad, Mac, or other Apple devices.

What’s up! Happy New Year everyone.

Today I want to talk about Text Message Forwarding on your iPhone and some problems you might have experienced with it.

So, I don’t know if you knew this or not but when Apple dropped iOS 8.1 on us it included a pretty awesome feature known as SMS Sharing (or Text Message Forwarding with Continuity). When you turn this thing on you’ll never miss a text message because all your texts will show up on all your Apple devices.

Awesome right?

How Text Message Forwarding Works

First you need to make sure both your iPhone and any devices you want to forward your text messages to are joined to the same Wi-Fi network. It won’t work if they’re not connected to the same Wi-Fi network while you do this – so do that first.

Next, on your iPhone, hit the Settings app and then flick down until you see the green Messages App icon.

Flip the little on/off button to on so that iMessage is enabled then hit Text Message Forwarding.

All of your iCloud devices should show up with an on/off knob next to each one. When you flip the knob to ON two things will happen:

1. A short code will popup on the screen of that Apple device.
2. Your iPhone will prompt you to enter the code that is currently displayed on that Apple device

After you enter the code, any text messages sent to your iPhone will also get automatically forwarded the device you selected.

Why Text Message Forwarding Fails

Alright, so what should you do if it just doesn’t work for you or the code never shows up?

If you check your logs you might see something like this:

Here’s my list of five tricks to make Text Message forwarding work on your iPhone.

1. Make sure you have your iCloud email address enabled in your iMessage settings when you do this setup process or else you’ll never get the code. You can turn it off after forwarding is established but it needs to be on during the setup attempt.
2. If you’re waiting for the code to pop up on your Mac, flip iMessage off and then on again. Then do the same thing on your Mac and that should kickstart the process.
3. Your mobile number needs to be checked off in iMessages. When you go to Settings and tap Messages

Overview

Email problems can arise with your account itself or with the configuration of your email client (the software you use to access your email account), and it's not always easy to tell which of these is to blame. Keeping your account within its allotted storage size by deleting and/or moving messages, and properly specifying your preferred address, will save you from the most common problems with mail receipt. With regard to sending mail, correctly specifying your SMTP mail server in the configuration of your client, and using the proper addresses for your recipients, will avoid two of the most common problems.

Many people prefer using email clients (Microsoft Outlook, Thunderbird, Mac Mail, etc.) over accessing email via a browser due to their additional features.

If you are experiencing problems sending or receiving email using an email client, you may need to troubleshoot your account settings. Choose your account from the list below to find the settings for most popular email clients.
