After updating the IO7, I can no longer send or recieve text messages. What do I do?

Since I downloaded the IOS7, I havent been able to send or recieve text messages/iMessages or access my SnapChat account. I have called Apple 3 different times and they said they do not know how to help. Any solutions?

After upgrading to iOS7, I can no longer send or receive texts that aren't iMessages.

As the title indicates: After upgrading to iOS7, I can no longer send or receive texts that aren't iMessages.
The text conversations are still there; you can see that I used to be able to text anyone. But now I cannot.
I have followed several different fixes suggested in these forums, I have Restored my phone, I have Reset Network Settings, I have Reset All Settings, I have checked settings on several friend's phones. But I still cannot send or receive texts that are not iMessage texts.
This seems like a pretty big deal. People text more than they call. And I now have a phone that cannot text very many people.
It is so frustrating. I have spent so much time trying to get it to work.

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions ...
I don't know if this is a corrupted preference file or not, but it sure can't hurt to try this.
If Mail is open, Quit Mail.
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
Drag that .plist file to the Desktop. Launch Mail and see if you can send or receive e-mail. If you can, that .plist file is corrupted. Drag it to the trash, empty the trash and reboot. Your Mac will create a new preference file for you the next time you launch Mail.
Also... run Disk Utility and Repair Disk Permissions. Disk Utility is in your Applications/Utilities folder. Launch DU, select MacintoshHD 10.x.x in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab, click Repair Disk Permissions. Quit DU when it's finished and reboot.

Can no longer send or receive text messages

Hi, I'm new to this but here i go. I have a 3GS Iphone that has the latest update. Recently the plan i had was a family plan and just a few days ago i split the two phones that was on my plan to be two separate plans (accounts). The other phone that was on my plan texts and receives texts perfectly, but as for my phone i cannot. I compose the text and send it but it never reaches the person. Also people call me asking why i am not texting them back so that means i cant receive texts either. I restored my phone twice already, one i restored it as my original phone then as a brand new phone and i still cannot receive or send texts. I havent gone to an apple store yet because they are closed right now but if someone knows how to fix this please let me know. Thank you, i appreciate it.

Hi,
Initially it sounds like a setting with your carrier and the plan the iphone is on is not enabled for text messages by your carrier.
With the phone in a 'new' state and not working again indicates that it is probably a carrier issue.
Questions for you;
1. Was the iphone being used before the plan changed and was it sending and receiving texts fine then?
2. Did you receive a new SIM car for one or both of the phones when the plans changed?
3. If you swap the SIMs between the phones, does the issue follow the phones or does now the other phone have trouble with the texting?
If when swapping the SIMs the problem follows the iphone, then there maybe some problem with the phone.
If when the SIMs are swapped and the problem does not follow the phone, then the problem is with either the SIM or the carrier settings.
Hope this helps

Why can't I send or recieve text messages?

So about a month ago I dropped my phone in the snow and to replace it I had a really old flip phone. Once I activated that phone, I received a flurry of messages, like you usually would if you turned your phone off and several people texted you. Though, once I tried sending one, the message would fail to send and would say that there was no signal. After that, I couldn't receive messages either. I could, however, call and receive phone calls.
I called customer support and they said that I should try bringing it in or it might be due to the age of the phone. So I got a hold of an LG Cosmos and activated it, however with the same problem: can make and receive phone calls but no texts. Any help?

RedKoiFish,
Here to help get those messages flowing again! Was your previous device an iPhone? If so, are users being sent messages iPhone users? Zip code? Has the previous device been powered down?

I can no longer send or receive text messages on my iphone 3g.

Any suggestions? I have version 4.2.1 installed.

Try a hard reset, hold down the sleep and home buttons, ignore the red Off slider, wait for the Apple logo, let the buttons go.

Hi,
Already mentioned on the following post:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-Notebook-PC-Questions/VGA-on-laptop-HDMI-on-TV-needs-connected/m-...
You need a CONVERTER, not ADAPTER The setup:
The following list may help:
http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/sis.html?_kw=HDMI+To+VGA+COMPONENT+Adaptor+A+V+Digital+Converter
Laptop (VGA) ---- Converter from VGA to HDMI ------ TV
You also need sound, you can buy a converter with sound OR connect sound directly from laptop to TV.
Regards.

You should have been syncing your contacts with your computer all along. They should be in your computer in whatever program you have chosen to sync.

Can't send or recieve text messages on the 7610

Whilst on holiday my phone stopped beingable to send or recieve text messages. It was working for a few days but then just stopped and the message "delete some data to recieve sim messages". I deleted almost everything but nothing has worked. Im now back in the U.K and its still the same. Also, underneath the battery bar is an icon which I have never seen before, its the number 1 with an arrow underneath it going from left to right and pointing mid way thru.
Is this a virus? Can anyone help please?

I'd upgrade your firmware because when I had a 7610 it used to do all sorts of dodgy things like what has happened to you.

Why can't i send or receive text messages to some users from my iPad while there is no problem texting them from my iPhone?

Why can't I send or receive text messages to some users from my iPad mini while there is no problem texting them from my iPhone?

With the Apple iMessage app, You can only Message with other iOS users - iPads, iPod Touch, iPhone users and Macs running Mountain Lion or higher. With your iPhone, you can send standard SMS text messages to any phone, including Android phones.
The iPad cannot send SMS messages or receive them either.

Why can't I send or receive text messages on my I pad.

1. Messages on the iPad can only be sent to other iDevices
2. They must also be registered with iMessage
Note: The two above conditions must be met.
