Texts are not being received when I send them

Curve 8530 - my contacts are telling me my text messages are not making it to them.   Other than rebooting by removing the battery, what else can I do?

Remember the iPad is not a cellular telephone.  It cannot send or receive text messages.  What it does is send and receive iMessages.
To do so, the recipient must have an Apple device.  You must have WiFi coverage.  The recipient must either be on WiFi or be covered by a cellular carrier that can send and receive iMessages.

  • International texts are not being received?

    Hello folks
    I have an iPhone 5.
    I can make and receive local and international calls. I can send and receive local text messages. I can receive international text messages but cannot send them. I have an International calling and texting plan.
    iMessage works fine as does Viber. I have been in contact with Verizon and have been told everything is working fine. They say my text messages are being sent. But none of my international contacts receive them. My international contacts have service providers that are on the Verizon list and they all can receive international texts.
    I also contacted Apple and they said the problem was with Verizon as the phone works fine.
    Does anyone else have this or a similar issue? It's very frustrating.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks

  • HT4436 Why is my daughter receiving my text messages on her itouch when I send them from my iphone? We are both on icloud so how can I separate the two? Do I need another icould or apple account??

    Why is my daughter receiving my text messages on her itouch when I send them from my iphone? We are both on icloud so how can I separate the two? Do I need another icould or apple account??

    It's happening because you are using the same Apple ID for iMessage.  You don't need to do anything with your iCloud account to fix this.  You should create a separate Apple ID for her device to use with iMessage and FaceTime.  (You can continue to share the same ID for purchasing from the iTunes and App stores if you wish; it doesn't need to be the same as the ID you use for other services.)  Once you've done this, on her device go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with the new ID.  Do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.
    Another caution is that if you share and iCloud account with her, any data you both sync with the account such as contacts, will be merged and the merged data will appear on both devices.  If you don't want to end up with each other's contacts, calendars, etc. on your devices, you should have separate iCloud accounts to.  If you want to make this change, go to Settings>iCloud on her device and tap Delete Account.  (This only deletes the account from the device, not from iCloud.)  When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data be sure to choose Keep On My iPod.  Then set up a new iCloud account with her new ID, turn on iCloud data syncing again, and when prompted choose Merge.

  • My 4S has stopped ringing. Voicemail's disabled but if you call me, you'll hear it ring your end but it does nothing at mine and freezes if I make a call. Texts are not being delivered or coming through delayed. Ringer is on, tone enabled - help!

    My iPhone 4S has stopped ringing altogether. Voicemail is disabled but if you call me, you'll hear it ringing at your end but it does nothing my end and freezes in the phone app if I make a call (doesn't ring or connect and doesn't freeze the phone, just the calling part). Texts are not being delivered or coming through delayed. Ringer is on, tone enabled - help!
    I've disabled roaming so it only runs on wifi (this after getting a £4k phone bill...) and I can use Skype, Viber and WhatsApp with no problem at all.
    Would really appreciate any help at all!
    Many thanks.

    Hi there - am with Orange and they said nothing wrong with account and service running normally.  They said if they had cut me off I would've received a text (debatable with current message receiving situation!) and when I called out it would say 'calls from this number are barred'.  Also if you called me it would say something similar.  But it doesn't, it will ring and ring until it rings off but nothing happens at all on my handset. Not even a missed call notification.  If I call out, it will display that it is calling the number but that's it.  If I cancel the call it will constantly display 'ending call'.  If I come out of the phone and go to another app then revist phone it will start calling that last dialled number - without ever getting as far as ringing or connecting.

  • My texts are not being delivered to iPhone operators as an iMessage, only to non iPhone operators?

    My texts are not being delivered to iPhone operators as an iMessage, only to non iPhone operators?

    Check that iMessage is turned on in Settings > Messages and that the Apple ID in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive is correct, along with your phone number and email account(s).

  • I'm being asked to enter my ID password on my ipad for icloud, but the email is no longer active and reset remails are not being received.

    I'm being asked to enter my ID pswd on my ipad 2 for icloud. but the email address and ID are no longer being used, and reset emails are not being received. How can I deactivate this? I have another ID which works fine, but this issue with the old ID is not allowing me to use my ipad.  thanks.

    If your iPad is signed into an old ID and you are trying to change it, if the old ID is yours, and if it is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • Sharing photos by email - Emails are not being received

    My photos which I have shared by email are not being received, even though I have a confirmation that they have been sent (one photo has been sent).
    I am using a @me.com email address and I have tried to send a photo to myself and this has still not been come through.

    Do you have iPhoto setup to email the photos itself or use Mail to email the photos?

  • I have a Galaxy S5 with Global International plan in place. My txt to Jamaica are not being received there, but others are. Is there a setting in my phone I need turned on? Verizon customer service doesn't have any answers.

    I have a Galaxy S5 with Global International plan in place. My txt to Jamaica are not being received there, but others are. I can receive the messages, but not send. I get an msg saying, message to (my daughters number) failed: Network problem. Is there a setting in my phone I need turned on? Verizon customer service doesn't have any answers.

    Hello ffdaisy!  I sure hope you're having a great time in Jamaica! I'm so sorry about your messages. Let's get going on a resolution! to clarify, are you able to receive messages? Can you send to the states, but not to numbers originating in Jamaica?  First, I want to let you know how to get in touch with our Global Support Team while outside the US. Just click here for the information: http://vz.to/18oaptS   Second, I'd like to provide you with the dialing pattern for messaging to US numbers, and Jamaica nunbers. For the US, dial 1, then the area code, then the 7-digit number. for Jamaica numbers, dial area code 876, then the 7-digit number. For more information, click here: vzw.com/international   Thanks so much, and have a great trip!

  • Yahoo e-mails are not being received on iphone 4.

    Yahoo e-mails are not being received on iphone 4.  I had to go website to retrieve about 50 emails from last couple of days.  Everything looks correct in settings and I haven't changed anything that I know of.  Please help if you've encountered this issue.

    I tried the suggestion of deleting the account and starting over from scratch (twice), to no avail.

  • Reversal documents are not being represented when 0PY_PP_C3 is being loade

    We use the 0HR_PY_PP_2 and 0HR_PY_PP_1 infosources to load the 0PY_PP_C2 and 0PY_PP_C1 ODSs. Then 0PY_PP_C1 updates the 0PY_PP_C3 ODS.
    Routines in the update rules include corresponding data from 0PY_PP_C2 during the update of 0PY_PP_C3. If there is no matching data in 2, then the corresponding records in 1 do not go into 3 Our process chain first loads 2, after it activates, it then loads 1, then updates 3.
    There are 5 reversal documents are in 0PY_PP_C2.
    The Update rules between 0PY_PP_C1 and 0PY_PP_C3 refer to the Posting Documents ODS: 0PY_PP_C2. 
    The issue is that the reversal documents are not being represented when 0PY_PP_C3 is being loaded.

    Hi,
    The simple solution is to debug the code written in the routine, as you mentioned that you already have some data in PP_C2 then check if that data is properly getting read in routine.
    After that check the condition based on which you are skipping records of PP_C1 and not loading into PP_C3. Is your condition perfectly working fine?
    Put a break point and check how the data is flowing.
    Regards,
    Durgesh.
