iMessage in Egypt

hey..actually i have same problem 2 days ago n yesterday my imessage finaly worked..

in my case i use another sim card/not original bundling,then i use my original sim card/carrier, n it instanly worked..

so actually carrier does take the problem..

im sory my english is terrible bad,im from indonesia..thank you

Hey guys i had the same problem and i figured out the solution.

IMessaging from ipad to iphone:

the ipad needs the region to add the country code to the phone number. So u only need to select any region (i used united states) and then use the country code for egypt while entering a number(i.e. +20100*******). And now itll work

IMessaging from ipad to iphone:

Trying to send to an email address will not be allowed (the @ and . characters are intypable) so you will just write down the email address without them... I know it nonsense but in my case i added the email address to a contact and then sent an iMessage to that contact (using his email address), and then i noticed that the iphone removed these characters from the email and sent an imessage normally.

Have fun contacting ur ipads and ipods with other iphones..

Feel free to contact me for any questions

And dont forget to tell me the results ... :)

Ok forget about adding an email address without the characters, i wont work. Just add an email address to a contact, and then send to that contact using this email address. Note: you cannot write the email address directly in the "to" field. Another important note, trying to write the name of the contact directly in the "to" field for the quick list wont work, as the contact email wont appear; u have to choose the "plus" sign and then choose the contact.

If ur interested to know how to recieve messages on both devices instantly and send from both as well, please contact me

Thank you.

Dear iPhoners,

Dont forget to switch off this feature in the link or ull b charged 4 every #iMessage that didnt find connectivity at the reciever

Hi Moataz,

I did not quite understand your question.. i assume you have iMessage working correctly and your asking about how you will be charged... is that true ?!

OK, first of all iMessage is a FREE service, it means all your iMessages (those that appear in a blue bubble) do not charge you for anything, coz they are sent over internet connection (wireless or 3G).

However, there is one case that you WILL be charged for iMessages; if the receiver did not have internet connection, the iMessage will be sent as an SMS (those that appear in a green bubble).

if you want to forbid your iPhone to charge you for your iMessages, i recommend that you turn off the option "send as SMS" in Settions->Messages

Hi mohabayman , i got ipad 2 wifi model only , qhen i came to activate imessage service i asked to enter my apple ID and password the ID is exist by default and i entered the pass correctly and i have pop up message said " u have entered incorrect username or password " even they all correct , is it not available in egypt or for this model or what ,,,,

And i'd like to aske about siri doesn't support traffic or business or maps in egypt for iphone that right , and for i books store for educational purpose exist or what , and finally itunes educational account available in egypt or not as well , thnx

iMessage prob... yes it does that sometimes, youll just have to retry it (check that ur IOS is up to date and try rebooting your device)

Siri... We dont have traffic support in Egypt, as for the maps routing, i tested Siri and it consulted me very good (Of course there are some places where the maps are not fully updated, but for what ive dealt with, it works very well), maybe you have to check your internet connection.

iBooks... i dont think i get what ur asking about !!

hope that helped....feel free to contact me anytime 🙂🙂

Neither did I!

Same problem... Egypt is not included in the countries list!

I noticed a typo, the first paragraph is to iMessage from ipad to iphone, the second paragraph is to iMessage from iphone to ipad

I believe these steps will also work on an ipod.

Hey guys i had the same problem andi did wt u said but i can't figured out the solution.

any one can help me ...?

thanks
