No call or text?

Both my friend and I have Verizon. Everytime he tries texting me or I try texting him, neither of us receives a message. The same goes with calling eachother. We checked to make sure we have eachothers number correct and they are but our calls and text never go through. What's going on and can this be fixed?

    Unm0ral,
We always want to make sure you can stay in touch with your friends and family! Let's figure this out. Are you both able to call and text everyone else? What happens when you try to make a call to your friend? Do you get any error or anything like that?

  • Incoming Calls and Texts not recognized by Phonebook

    Hello,
    I just bought an iphone today. It is unlocked with 1.1.4 version. It is also jail broken. I bought the phone in lightly used condition. Today i started entering in all my contacts which was easy, however, whenever i recieve a call or text, it shows the phone number of the sender/caller, instead of showing their name. Even if the number is formatted the same in the contacts list. Its just not syncing. I know nothing about iphone. any and all help is appreciated.
    i dont even know what jailbroken is?!
    Thanks!

    I am having the same problems. Called Apple and they told me to turn off 3g. I just paid $599(already had a contract) for a 3g phone that I can't even use 3g on. I use this phone for buisness and this is unacceptable. Does Apple do any Q/A on thier updates? The previous update bricked my phone. What a joke. I will never buy an Apple product again.

  • Why does my 3G iPhone no longer rings nor vibrates when receiving calls and text messages?

    Why does my 3G iPhone no longer rings nor vibrates when receiving calls and text messages?
    During a two weeks process, little by little I notice my phoe doesn't ring when I get a phone call.  So Far I have missed 22 calls that I am aware of.  Moreover, the phone does not alert me when I get a text message.  Sometimes I receive notice the next day that I received a call or a text message. 

    Follow the basic troubleshooting steps outlined in the user guide... reset, restore from backup, restore as new.

  • IPhone 4 iOS 5.0.1 stops receiving calls and text messages

    Hi all,
    My iPhone 4 (iOS 5.0.1) suddenly stopped receiving calls and text messages. However, I'm still able to send them.
    The workaround for fixing this issue is to make an hard reset to the iPhone.
    This only occured with 5.0.1 version. It's very annoying because I'm not able to know if it's working or not (I can only suppose that it's not working when I'm a long period without receiving calls/messages)
    Do you know how to solve this ?
    Thanks in advance!

    First, who really cares what you do?  I certainly don't, and I doubt the vast majority of users on this forum don't either.  Ridiculous statements like that just make you look stupid.
    Second, this is a user to user technical support forum.  I saw a lot of whine here, not a question.  What is your technical support question?

    You can call you're carrier and have them unlock it.

  • Receiving calls and text messages but it wont make tjem

    Hey G.Alby,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    There are some steps in both of these article you can still try to resolve these issues.

    Ensure that your software is up to date:
    Check for a carrier settings update.
    Check for an iOS software update.
    Note: Some updates may require a Wi-Fi connection.
    If the iPhone has a SIM card, reseat the SIM card.

  • I can't call or text a certain person and he can't call or text me

    We both are Verizon customers and both of us have the iPhone 4s. We were able to call and text each other for 3 weeks with no issues and then all of a sudden, out of nowhere, we stopped receiving each others calls and texts and even voice mails. It has caused so much anger and confusion between us. He thought I was ignoring him and I thought he was ignoring me. Then out of nowhere one random night last week, he decided to call me cause he was upset having not heard from me in 2 weeks and his call came through to me. That's when we discovered there are some communication issues going on. We were then able to text each other for one full day before our phones yet again have stopped working together. Why is this happening? We do not have each other blocked. We both have unlimited call and text plans. I tried resetting my phone and updating my roaming capabilities. Nothing is working. I deleted him as a contact and tried to send him a message by entering just his number and still nothing. He is not linked with a Facebook account so I know that is not the issue. I have no issues with any of my other contacts. I don't get it. How can this be fixed? I have spent hours online looking for an answer but have had no luck. I called Verizon and they were of no help. They just had me go through all the things I have already tried. Has this happened to anyone else? Does anyone know how to fix this? I'm losing my mind here!

    The same thing is happening to me.  Yesterday it started, and I had no way of knowing what was going on until I connected with my girlfriend on Facebook to figure out that we had been texting each other for two days and none of the texts were going through.  She is on a Sprint Galaxy S phone and I'm on a Verizon iPhone 4.  Texts I send to her do not arrive.  Texts she sends to me do not arrive.  But she can exchange texts in both directions with other people, and so can I.  Only between our two phones, texts are not being delivered.  How can we fix this?

  • No incoming calls or texts for 9 days!!!

    My number of 15yrs ported over from tesco last week and worked fine at the start but for the past 9days I haven't received a call or text? I have been onto 150 every single day and nobody has a clue. I have had all sorts of resets, refreshes, sim swaps...and now I'm being told to just sit tight by a different person each time.
    I use this number for business and I'm losing work every day that goes by and the most frustrating thing is that I have no confidence in EE to rectify this as the ppl I speak to openly admit they don't know what is wrong!!! Tomorrow will be a full week without service. How depressing that there is no fix in sight.

  • Haven't been able to make/receive calls or texts for a month

    I've had no service on my phone for a month now and haven't been able to make or receive calls or texts. I've had my phone (iphone 4) for almost a year now, one day it was fine, the next it wasn't. It literally just happened over night. My sim card works fine in other phones so i know thats not the problem.
    After an endless amount of phone calls to O2 and no solution to the problem, I've now been told that my phone isn't reading the sim card properly and my phone needs to be sent to Apple. I'd take it to a store but the nearest one is 45 miles away and I don't drive so it's not very easy to get to. Also, as i bought it from a different website and not from an apple store and don't have any proof of purchase or warranty, would they still be able to fix it for me?
    I recently went to Spain and while I was there my phone worked perfectly and I could call and text as usual, but as soon as I got back to the UK it stopped working again which suggests to me that it's nothing to do with my phone, as it was able to read the sim card fine in another country. Would I achieve anything by getting it unlocked and changing to another network?
    Has anybody encountered anything like this before or have any solutions to the problem? After a month of this i'm at my wits end!!

    Thanks for the reply. I bought the phone on november the 1st 2011 and it has worked perfectly until the end of last month when it started saying 'no service', and no this didn't occur during an update or restore. I don't make many calls or send texts a lot so I don't know when exactly when it did happen but I know it was working on september the 28th and it wasn't on september the 30th, I didnt update, restore or anything. When I bought it, (cant remember exactly where i bought it but it was an online shop), it was sold as being on the O2 network.
    I contacted the network and they said they could unlock it, so maybe i'll try it on the Orange network instead as I managed to use that without any problems in Spain.
    Thank you for the answer to my other questions as well.

  • I can make calls and send text messages on my new iPhone 5, but incoming calls and texts still go to my old (non-Apple) phone. Is this a problem with the phone set up, or is it a problem with my old carrier or my new carrier?

    I can make calls and send texts on my new iPhone 5,  but all incoming calls and texts are received by my old (non-Apple) phone.

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • Sound Notifications for Missed Calls and Text Messages

    Aside from the very small green light in the upper right corner (Bionic) - is there a way to get audio notifications for missed calls and texts?  I'm missing a lot of calls and texts because I'm not checking the screen constantly.  Thanks!

    I am not sure about the Bionic phone specifically but I am pretty sure there should be notification sounds.
    My phone, the Droid 2 global has ringtons, and notification sounds separately.
    Have you tried looking in the sound settings?

  • High bill with unusual calls and texts from non-functioning numbers?

    We have a family share plan with 3 phones, one phone for my husband and two phones for our employees.  Our usual phone bill runs around $150.  Our last bill was over $600, the majority charges being on one of our employee's lines.  This particular employee has been with us for over 10 years, and has always been extremely trustworthy and very frugal in his usage of his phone to make personal calls (very infrequent and always less than 5 minutes in duration, unless made during the free nights and weekends timeframe).  Our latest bill showed over 1,000 texts to/from his phone, as well as over 3,000 peak calling minutes (both to/from his phone) alone.  Many of the peak calls are lengthy in duration (30+ minutes, up to 120 minutes).  I realize this post is long, so will divide it into headings so that it makes more sense:
    Information on usage:
    Our employee insists that he did not make these calls and texts (he does not even know how to text), and what is odd about the numbers that appear on the detail (both text and voice) is that they fit into one of two categories:
    1.  There are calls to two particular non-local area code numbers (and possibly bogus, as they have area codes 523 and 352(?)).  When I call the two numbers, I get the following messages:
    From my landline:  When called from my landline, adding a "1" before the 10 digit number, I get the recording stating that "your number cannot be completed as dialed, please check the number and dial again"
    From a cell number- When calling from my own VZW phone (on separate account from husband's), I get a VZW message that the number "has been changed, disconnected or is no longer in service"
    2. They are local area code numbers, but when I call the number, I get a recording asking me to enter my pin number (in other words, they are numbers that cannot receive incoming calls, but according to our bill, have not only made calls to our employee's phone, but also received calls.  I have done an online lookup on these numbers and they are all cell phones.
    3.  When I have tried to text the non-local numbers from my VZW phone, I get messages back stating that these are landline numbers and cannot be texted; when I text the local numbers, I have texted a generic message along the lines of "I can't reach you on the phone.  Please call me as soon as you can" but I do not receive a call back.
    We cannot speak directly with our employee right now (he is in Mexico to pick up his elderly grandmother),  nor can we access our employee's phone to check the log, call history, etc. because he has the phone with him.  Due to this, when we discovered the high usage, we immediately "suspended" the phone line so that no calls could be made or received.  Subsequent to suspending the line, we have talked to his family a couple of times -- one time he happened to call them on another line, so we talked to him "indirectly" through a family member on another line with him.  He was alarmed about the calls and insists he did not make them. 
    He does have children but they are forbidden (by him) from using the phone, and he states that he always keeps the phone in a case on his hip, thus no one else has access to the phone.  To go even further, it seems that most all of the calls to these unusual numbers are made on weekdays, during school hours, so I feel sure the calls were not made by his kids.
    Calls to Verizon:  When we first called Verizon, they suggested we suspend the phone until we could speak to our employee.  Subsequent to our indirect conversation with him mentioned above, we called them back and told them he stated that he did not make the calls nor send the texts, and that we believed the phone might have been compromised, cloned, hijacked or whatever.  First, the customer svc rep looked at our account and suggested that we put an unlimited text on the phone for the current unbilled usage (there were a lot of texts, and we have no text plan on the employee's phone), and then remove that plan once we get to the bottom of this matter. 
    Due to our concern about fraudulent usage, the customer svc. rep called the fraud dept. while my husband was holding on the line.  She came back on the line and told my husband that the fraud dept. said that "it cannot be fraud because if it was, there would be thousands of dollars in international long distance to countries like Pakistan and India." (WTH?)  Also, she said that it couldn't be fraud "because texts were sent to and from the telephone number so we know it was your phone."  (another WTH?)
    She then went on to say that it looks like texts were sent to international numbers (???) recently (these same 523 and 352 area code numbers I referred to above).  Number one, if these were international texts, it seems odd to me that these texts show up on our billed and unbilled activity as "domestic text" and there is no premium charge assessed to our account for international texts.  Number two, if these numbers were international numbers, I imagine that we would be charged for outgoing international calls, which we were not.  Further, I imagine that the numbers would be displayed on our bill in other than a ten digit format, but am not sure, as no one has ever made an international call or text on our phone.
    Next steps:
    Does anyone have advice for the next steps we should take and how we can get to someone in customer service who can actually help us with this problem, instead of what we experienced on our previous call?  Can we demand that Verizon launch an investigation through its fraud department on the activity on this phone, or is this at the discretion of VZW to launch an investigation?  I am unsure, since this was not given as an option by the customer service rep... 
    If we can get Verizon to launch an investigation, is payment of the portion of the bill with the unusual and disputed usage (namely, that which is over and above the usual usage) waived pending the investigation results, or will we have to pay the entire bill to both avoid having the phones turned off, as well as any detrimental effects to our credit?  We've been hit hard by the economy, both personally (I am out of work right now) and business wise (my husband's business has been doing only about 25% of its usual business), and we don't have the extra $$ for the bill unless we take it out of our grocery budget. 
    If anyone has any insight, suggestions or otherwise, I sure would appreciate it.  Sorry for the lengthy first post, but I thought it would be helpful to outline as much about the situation as I could in order that people could respond.  Thanks in advance!

    kbinga,
    I know this is a confusing and frustrating situation for you. I would be happy to review the account in detail to see what is happening with the usage and charges to ensure it does not continue to be a problem for you. Please send me a direct message for further support assistance.
    Thank you!

    In preferences turn on iTunes sharing in iTunes preferences and keep iTunes turned on in both accounts. Or better yet put the iTunes library on the main HD rather than in an account and set the location of the library to that location in iTunes preferences.
