    From your end, it is likely you cannot. Some cellular providers do not allow anything other than simple SMS, or the person you wish to message may not have elected to include those feature, or have them turned off. It has nothing to do with any settings or capability on your phone.

    The person I am trying to send audio messages to can send them to two of her contacts and I can send them to two of my contacts. But we cannot figure oit how to send them to eachother. Is there a reason why we aren't automatically linked?
