Android phone not recieving text messages from iPhone

Hello. I am actually a current android user. I have the LG Optimus F6. My friend though has the iPhone 5s.
I have never owned a iPhone, this is actually my first phone I have ever owned.
Though I am in a bit of a problem as a lot of, but not all of the text messages that she sends to me I never recieve, it shows on her iPhone the green message as it is sent but I never received them.
I am trying to look for a solution to this if anyone could help. Thank you

I Believe this is because your friend is sending iMessages ask them to resend an older text as SMS instead to see if this works. Hope it helps

  • I upgraded from Iphone4 to Galaxy S4 and not receiving text messages from Iphones.

    I upgraded from Iphone4 to Galaxy S4 and not receiving text messages from Iphones.I went to https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do and unregistered my old iPhone to resolve the issue. It's been one day and I cannot recieve text messages from Iphones

    Verizon wiping out old phones would have nothing to do with it. The phone is no longer associated with the number, so wiping the phone would have no effect. It is your Apple ID which is the problem. You have iMessage turned on for your Apple ID. iPhones which have your Apple ID associated with your contact will send texts to your Apple ID, not your phone #. If you have another Apple device which can use iMessage, you could turn off iMessage in that device, but as long as your friends have your Apple ID associated with your contact and you have turned on iMessage in an Apple device and never turned it off before switching from an Apple device to another platform, you will have this problem.
    You can bet that Apple will not address the problem, as they don't see it as a problem if someone is using a phone other than an iPhone. Apple expects no one will ever switch away from an iPhone once one has been used. Therefore, no problem for them to address.
    The problem lies with Apple wanting their users to go through yet another proprietary interface, iMessage, which the MAJORITY of all smartphone users do not have access.

  • LG Revolution not receiving text messages from iphone user

    I am not receiving text messages from iphone user, sporatically.  The messages are showing as reveived on Verizon website in usage detail, but not being received on my phone.

        This issue needs fixed asap! I have a few suggestions that should help you get this resolved. If they are showing up in the usage details, that means they are hitting the Verizon network, but for some reason they are not showing up on the phone.   I recommend clearing the cache from your messaging/text messaging programs. Go to settings> applications> manage apps> all> Messaging/Text Messaging> Force Stop/Clear Cache/Clear Data. Erase the old text threads that you have saved and retry.
    If that doesn't work, please let us know the following:
    1) Do they come in delayed or not at all?
    2) Do you have any 3rd party messaging apps installed?
    3) Do they have any problems receiving messages from you?
    4) When they're sending messages, are they directly to you, or do you have this problem when the iPhone user sends to a group of people?
    Thanks for the additional info! I'm sure we can find a fix.

    Call AppleCare and ask them to deactivate iMessage. It might take awhile to become effective.

    You can try the following on your friends phone:
    1.  Remove the contact card
    2. Then turn off iMessage and then back on again
    3. Go to Messages and compose a new message
    4. Press +.  This will make a list of recent contacts pop up.
    5. Click on the info button number of the contact you are trying to reach.
    6. Remove from Recents
    7. Try to compose another message
    8.  If the message attempts to send as blue (imessage), press on the message.
    9 Option to send as SMS will appear (as long as they have SMS turned on.
    10. Repeat and rinse.
    11. Messages will start changing over to all SMS as the user will show as non-imessage user.
    Hope this helps

  • While I was talking via land line to land line with a friend they recieved text message from my iphone that I did not send. How is that possible?

    I repeat.  While I was talking via land line to land line with a friend they began recieving text messages from my Iphone that I did not send.  I am in the middle east and I was calling a land line in Mexico but that should not have mattered.  Moreover, the person I was speaking to told me they had gotten other text messages from me that know I never sent.   I called my phone company (AT&T) and was told the problem was not with the system but with my Iphone.  They suggested someone was using app that mimicked my phone number.   Is such a think possible? 

    In addition to my iphone I have an itouch.  I only just today created an appleID so that I could use this message board so it seems unlikely that the problem is the result of a misused ID

  • Why can't I recieve text messages from an iphone while I'm on a phone call

    When I'm on a phone call on my IPhone5s I can not receive text message from other IPhones. Why is this and is there a way that I can fix it. Nor can I send I messages or picture text.

    That is a limitation of 4g networks, you cannot use data and talk at the same time except for few networks (I think AT&T)
    Unless you have the new iPhone 6, which supports enhanced LTE which will allow talk and data over 4g networks.
    This problem exists with many other phones as well by the way.

    I CAN NOT RECEIVE TEXT MESSAGES FROM PEOPLE USING IMESSAGE

    On an iPhone your iMessages will go to your phone number.
    You can select another email to use on iPod or iPad.
    Go to settings
    Messages
    Send and receive
    Check your phone number and uncheck the common Apple ID you share so your messages will not go to other devices.

  • HT5824 I switched over from an iPhone to a Samsung Galaxy S3 & I haven't been able to receive any text messages from iPhones. Please help with turning my iMessage completely off..

    I switched over from an iPhone to a Samsung Galaxy S3 & I haven't been able to receive any text messages from iPhones. I have no problem sending the text messages but I'm not receivng any from iPhones at all. It has been about a week now that I'm having this problem. I've already tried fixing it myself and I also went into the sprint store, they tried everything as well. My last option was to contact Apple directly. Please help with turning my iMessage completely off so that I can receive my texts.

    If you registered your iPhone with Apple using a support profile, try going to https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do and unregistering it.  Also, try changing the password associated with the Apple ID that you were using for iMessage.
