Android phones in text feed with iPhones

Joaner
I plan to stick around

This is the last time I’m trying before I switch providers. I can’t send texts or pics, videos or screen shots. Sometimes, rarely a text will go through without those. Please fix. This issue has followed me from an old phone. I have a 14 Pro now. I sent a request previously and it worked for awhile. I do not have a VPN on my phone anymore. Please solve this issue. I can’t locate my previous request but I k is it was sent to a back office or somewhere. Joan

Good day @Joaner !

 

Gosh, I'm so sorry that this same issue seems to have reared it's ugly head, once again. 😞

 

I'm not sure if you saw it, but I did respond to your PM from a few days back. If you'd like us to investigate your issue and try to get things working again, please continue chatting with us via PM. 

 

Thanks so much!

Yes Yasmine. Please continue to investigate.
Cannot text to a group that has an android in it (or send photos etc). Also cannot send photos to individual androids either. I DO receive photos and texts from all types. Thank you.

I'm an advisor

The issue is with Apple, as iMessage is completely controlled by Apple and doesn't use the standard text SMS and MMS protocols that Android and other devices use.  I have seen the same issue mentioned on the Telus, AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon forums.

But why random phones

Re: Android phones in text feed with iPhones

This is not true for me. It is not an Apple thing. It is a Rogers issue with their Anti-spam software. If you have any group chats that you are involved in and send images or multiple texts, the Rogers software blocks you and you will no longer be able to send SMS and MMS on the Rogers network. This is a problem that I have been having trouble with for 6 months... Rogers has offered no solutions and my only option seems to be to change providers.

Re: Android phones in text feed with iPhones

Are you sending a lot of texts containing links? I know that can get people flagged, especially when using their personal lines for heavy business purposes.

I have one group chat that is very active with my girlfriend and a few of our close friends. I have never had any issues with texts yet that were the fault of Rogers. Google and Samsung Messages apps have had their fair share of issues lately for se
As a person on beta 9 of Android 14/One UI 6 for my s23 Ultra and in the beta program for Google Messages. The last two betas for Google Messages have been solid and beta 9, released this morning, has been great so far.

Re: Android phones in text feed with iPhones

Depends what you consider a lot. I send texts to a group of fishing buddies and some have YouTube links or links to articles and some pictures. I have been on Rogers for 6 months and have been placed on the banned list 7 times now. The only resolution I have been offered is to use WhatsApp or risk being permanently banned. I have communicated with this group for 10 years without issues while on Telus and Shaw previously.
