Anyone else having trouble receiving texts from other iphone users?

My daughter has an iphone 4S and just called from college, she can't receive texts from other iphone users anymore.  Worked fine until yesterday.  She can receive texts from me, but I have a droid.  Any idea if this is a Verizon problem or something wrong with her phone?

She turned imessage off, then turned it back on again and now it seems to be fine.  Not sure what she did, but she says she's ok now.

    Thanks,

  • Why can't my Iphone 4s  receive texts from other iphone users?

    I got my phone maybe 2 weeks ago and had no problem sending or receiving text messages. For the past 2 days, i have not been able to receive text messages from other iPhone users. My texts go through just fine but I never get a response back until they call and are like "well what do you think about blah blah?" But I have sent and rec'd text messages from people with other devices. What is going on?

        Oh my! Let's ensure these text messages are flying both in and out of your device. I would suggest completing the newest iOS 7.0.3 update. Once this has been completed I would suggest retesting. Settings > Software update
    You may also test with iMessage off. This will send messages to and from iPhone's as a regular text message. Settings > Messages > iMessage - Off

  • Have iphone5s-unless I am in wifi, I cant receive texts from other iphone users unless their imessage is turned off. Help

    If in wifi zone I have no problems as the imessage to immesage works.  However, when wifi off and cellular data on I cannot recieve texts from an iphone user unless their immessage is turned off.  These iphone uses recieve my messages but I do not recieve the replies.  Help?

    Under Settings>Messages>
    Make sure Send as SMS is on . If it is on and the error still occurs go to Send and Recieve, and make sure your phone number is the ONLY thing listed.

  • When iMessage is off, I dont receive texts from other iPhone users.

    I do not like iMessage because it uses data so I have it off.
    BUT I do not receieve the Text messages from other iPhone users. BUT my mac does gets them.
    What I am trying to say is that Person A sends me a text to my phone number from the Text Message app, but since they have iMessage on it goes to my MAC instead of my iPhone.. I dont get it.

    Imessage doesn't use data.  I would say SMS uses more data.
    When you turn off imessage on your Mac what happens?

  • I'm not receiving texts from other iphone users

    I cannot receive texts from certain people in my contact list.  My imessaging is turned off and when I go to turn it on says "waiting on activation" so I attempt to sign in with my apple ID and password and it says please check your network connection. Its been doing this for days.  It doesnt matter where I am, how many bars I have or if I'm connected to Wifi. 
    I am PRAYING someone can help me here since even the store cant.
    If I dont get this figured out, I'll have no other choice but to uprade to Samsung.
    Also since updating to the dreaded ios7 I cannot use Snapchat, and myinstagram and facebook do not integrate together.

    If they are receiving that error message, it corrected and you are deregistered from iMessage

  • I am having trouble sending texts to other Iphone users

    I am having trouble sending texts messages to other Iphone users. I have to turn my phone off and back on for it to work. I can text just fine to other types of phones.

  • HT1414 Since updating to ios7 I cannot receive texts from other iphone users

    Help

    Really?
    iMessage data usage is miniscule over 3G...about 1kb per message, & NO 3G data if connected to WiFi.
    Seems to me you're making a mountain out of a mole hill.

  • IMessage is blocking texts from other iphone users

    I am not able to send or receive texts from other iphone users because of imessage.  I am ready to quit Apple and ATT because of it.  Both my wife and the manager of my business can no longer contact me because of the bugs in iMessage.  I don't care whether the message shows up as blue or green, I simply want to send or receive them.  First, their numbers only showed up as phone numbers instead of contacts.  Then I added them as Iphone users and now I can't send or receive messages with them.  I've tried deleting and adding and then deleting their numbers.  Rebooting works for a bit.  If they don't fix this bug, I'm quitting iPhone.  Seriously. 

    If you'd like to calm down and actually ask a coherent question, we'll consider it.
    Since you don't actually make any attempt to describe what the circumstances are or what happens when you try to send or when someone sends you a message, we can't offer much assistance.

  • Iphone 5 broke switched to old iphone 4 but cant get texts from other iphone users cant do anything with iphone 5 like i said its wayy broke

    IPhone 5 broke switched to old iPhone 4 but cant receive texts from other iPhone users cant do anything with iPhone 5 screen does not work

    I'm guessing that you turned off the iPhone 5? If so, then are you using the same phone number as the 5? You need to go into Settings>Messages>make sure that iMessage is turned on and activated. Then go the Send & Receive and find out if your current number is checked.

  • Why doen't iphone receive texts from other iphones.

    I have recently bought iphone 5C for the first time, I have had an ipad for a long time which I use for imessages through wifi.   I thought that when I am out and about away from wifi I would receive sms/text from other iphones like I had with my previous basic mobile, but this doesn't happen, although I can send texts to other iphones.  Also when I return to a wifi area imessage that have been picked up by my ipad then don't appear on my iphone.  When both the iphone and ipad are using wifi when an imesssage is received the message appears on both devices.  Is this usual as I would like to receive texts from other iphones as it could be important. 

    Is iMessage turned on your phone?    It doesn't sound like it.
    I would disable iMessage on BOTH your iPad and iPhone.   Enable it on iPhone first, then iPad 2nd.
    Try again and let us know if it's working properly.

  • Not receiving texts from some iphone users.. anybody know whats up with that?

    Just got Samsung S4 and I'm not receiving texts from some iPhone users.
    Do i have something set up wrong?

    It appears you have moved from an iPhone to an android phone. The problem you are having is because you did not deactivate your iMessage service before leaving.
    If you still have your iPhone, you can re-activate it and then
    turn on iMessage in the settings
    uncheck your email and phone number
    turn off iMessage
    Settings>Messages
    If you don't have your phone or don't want to go thru the hassle of reactivating it, you can simply call Apple at 800-694-7466 and ask them to turn off your iMessage.

  • TS2755 Texts from other iphone users not coming through while roaming.

    I am roaming daily in the US.  Ever since I upgraded to ios 7 my phone won't receive any texts from other iphone users unless I am on wifi.  Texts do come through from non-iphone users.  I do have cellular data shut off while roaming (I don't want to be charged roaming fees for facebook notifications, emails, etc.) but this never stopped texts from arriving before updating.  I pay $20 a month to text from the US and want to be able to utilize this feature!  Any suggestions? 

    Settings -> Messages --> see what is checked for receiving messages
    Does your iPad have 3G/4G?
    If not then most likely the messages are going to your Apple ID email
    You can uncheck that and just leave your number checked
    It should then come to your phone
