No SMS send or receive ability after updating 3GS to ios5

Synced up my husband's iPhone 3Gs this past Sunday night for the first time ever to update it from ios 4.1 to ios 5. Since then, he has been unable to send or receive ANY text messages. I tried a backup and restore last night and was able to get ONE imessage to go through to my own phone, but that's it. During the process Sunday night, he also signed up for a new iTunes account (we usually use the same one). Would this have anything to do with it? I've tried restoring Network Settings. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi.
So he can't send regular Pay-Text or iMessage ? Or is it only iMessage that wont do ?
With his new Apple ID, make sure to activate it under the iMessage settings and to enter his phone number.
Remember that only other iPhones with iMessage acvitated will receive texts as iMessage.
If there's still a problem, try to turn off the iPhone and back on.
Hope this was helpful.

After updating to IOS7.0.3 I can't send or receive iMessages, After updating to IOS7.0.3 I can't send or receive iMessages

I updated my phone yesterday to IOS7.0.3 and now I cannot send or receive iMessages. My phone is also now very slow at responding. It's annoying because I red that they created this update to solve the same problem that people had when they updated the last time. But my phone was fine before yesterday,extremely frustrating.

Update to the current version of iOS.
Ensure that your iMessage is set to receive messages at your phone number or whatever address it was previously set to.
Also, ensure your iMessage is actually activated. My partner had a similar issue earlier this week where iMessage unexplainably disabled itself and then when re-activating it did not actually reactivate. Once the device was switched to a working data connection (other Internet connectivity issues were occurring at the time) iMessage activated fine.

Unable to Connect, cannot send nor receive emails after updating to 10.9.4

I just installed the OS X Maverick 10.9.4 and Mail does not work at all. It looks like there was not internet connection. But there is. None of the accounts work (iCloud, Gmail, etc.) All of them work when using the web version. It is just Mail that does not work. What to do??? I can't use Mail at all.

Cannot send or receive mail after installing iOS6 on iPhone4

Cannot send or receive mail after installing iOS6 on iPhone4.
All email accounts are still fine and not lost but ever since I installed iOS6 I cannot send any new email and I am not receiving either. That includes my Exchange, Yahoo and Hotmail. I didn't loose any old email in my Inboxes.
Can someone help please. thanks.

I am having a similar problem. I have iPhone 4 with the updated iOS6 and a Hotmail account. Mail had been working after the update, but I noticed that wasn't really pushing my mail like it used to before the update. I wouldn't get notifications after the update and when I open the Mail app, it would take much longer to download emails. I decided to remove my Hotmail account and then re-add the account to the phone to see if that would fix the problem. No such luck. Now I have zero emails in my inbox on my phone when there is new email sitting in my Hotmail inbox on my laptop. I've tried to delete and add the account multiple times now while rebooting the device and nothing changes...I've looked into other fixes mentioned here that say to change the settings on cellular date, airplane mode, push vs fetch, etc. and nothing is working. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Code to automatically sms send and receive by sql server

I want you to tell me the necessary code in vb and sql to automatically send and receive sms from sql database.i know only that i have to create one table for it in the database.please anybody who knows post the code for me.

Hi mintesnot h.benti,
According to your description, since the issue regards VB code, as other post, you need to post the related problem on Visual Basic forum at
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/home?forum=vbgeneral. It is appropriate and more experts will assist you.
In addition, if you want to use a SQL Server database, and it makes SMS sending and receiving possible through database tables in your VB.NET application. You may need to use the 3<sup>rd</sup> tools, such as OZEKI NG SMS Gateway or others.

Issues after updating iPhone3GS to iOS5 on TIM cellular data network (Italy)

Hi everyone
I have issues after updating iPhone3GS to iOS5 on TIM cellular data network.
After installing iOS5 I had to switch from apn ibox.tim.it to wap.tim.it
Since then the phone is unusable for any internet activity that is barely "data demanding" (e.g facebook app take literaly hours to update), everyting requires way to much time... the iPhone is not an iPhone anymore... it's worse than my blackberry with just GPRS on it.
TIM technical support suggested me to switch back on apn ibox.tim.it, but then I would not be able to use internet tethering anymore (they say because of Apple iOS5) ... to bad I need internet tethering for work.
I am seriously thinking to switch ISP or phone.
Anyone did experience same problem / found a solution?

Hi Raia.D,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The first thing I would suggest is to restart your iPhone. Then tap the Settings app, and you should see Cellular listed on the main settings screen. You should see Airplane Mode, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and then Cellular.
Here are some additional troubleshooting steps to try:

Cant receive emails after update

AFter updating my phone I lost the ability to recieve emails, works fine to send them just not recieve them

Hey NedTrimming,
I'd try out the following troubleshooting steps and see if that resolves the issue and lets you receive mail again:
Restart the iOS device.
Log in to your email provider's website to ensure that the account is active and the password is correct.
Delete the account from Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and then add the email account again on the iOS device.

Exchange 2007 SP1 don't send or receive emails after main DC shutdown

I have two DC (DC1 and DC2), both of them GC and DNS.
After shutting down DC1 (with all the roles instaled), Exchange 2007 stops to sending and receive emails, but Outlook clients can process the request of sending emails (like it has been sent) and "Connected To Exchange" is showed correctly.
If I switch on again DC1, the pending messages are sent and received (internal or external).
I thought that making GC also the DC2, Exchange could work in the same manner in a DC1 failover scenario.
Maybe any kind of info in Exchange for main DC is cached and needs to be updated or so?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
DC and GC hard failures are generally handled seamlessly by DSAccess if other servers are available. However, GC failures can impact Outlook clients harshly depending on the version of Outlook being used. Worst case scenario is that Outlook ‘hangs’ and the
user must restart. The exception is Outlook XP (Outlook 2002) which can automatically reconnect to a new GC without a restart.

SMS setting won't save after update

After updating my N80, i tried to send a text message, and was greeted by a message saying i needed to entewr the message centre number. I had a look around and manage to track down the official three network message centre number, and the message went through fine
however, i am prompted with the same problem everytime i try to send a message. Going to settings/message centre brings up the following notice 'text message service disabled. No message centre numbers saved on sim card'
By not allowing me to enter into the message centre number menu, i cannot therefore add another, so i'm stuck.
Tried all the usual things, taking the sim out and re inserting it,updating the firmware again, but to no avail.
customer services dont have a clue
any ideas?
thanks

Backup all your personal stuff onto memory card (faster than pc suite).
Reset device by entering *#7370# then code (default 12345).
If that works, you can then get other settings from the Setting Wizard at http://europe.nokia.com/A4164073?model=N80

HP8600 Plus won't send or receive fax after firmware upgrade

Hi All,
Suddenly my HP8600, refuses to send or receive fax. I get the message "Can'r send or receive fax" immediatley after power up. I have a strong feeling that the problem started after an automatic firmware upgrade to version OJP8600_N911a_R1435A . Unfortunately there does not seem to be a simple way to downgrade or is there? HP refuses to tell. I have checked the telphone line and the connection also tested with another fax machine. I tried resetting several times without any success. It is just out of warranty and works perfectly in all other respects.
Do someone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Bondra12

Hello @Bondra12 , welcome to the forums
I understand you now cannot send or receive a fax, and I am here to share my suggestions with you.
No, you cannot reverse a firmware upgrade from my knowledge. I would suggest however, troubleshooting the fax problem by trying out the steps from this guide: Cannot Send or Receive Faxes
If the problem does happen to continue, and I wish that it doesn't, to give us a call to see if you have any out of warranty printer options.
