BB Pearl 8130 Wont Receive SMS texts

So iv had the blackberry for just under a week and already im having problems with it. First of all the browser icon is missing from my menu the only way to get on the internet is to go to switch applications and the browser icon is there. Second issue which im having the biggest problem with is that my phone wont receive any SMS texts all of a sudden. Earlier today it was working fine and now it just stopped. I tried a battery pull tried turning my phone off and back on and still nothing. I only keep receiving constant duplicates of the same last txt I received.
Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks

But i found an answer that seems to work!  Thank you, AT&T!

You need to know the recipient phone's carrier.

There is more information if you Google "att send text from computer", but this forum won't let me post links... :)

  • Outlook 2013 wont send SMS texts

    Hi All
    I've used Outlook 2010 on Windows 7 for a few years on my SBS2011 system to send/receive SMS texts fine through exchange 2010 to my Samsung S3 and out. I've now updated to Windows 8 and Outlook 2013 and have come across a problem.
    If I type in a new SMS message in Outlook 2013 and press send I get an immediate box pop up saying 'Check names' Microsoft Outlook does not recognise '<mobile number>'. There is nothing I can do to remove the box so I can't send. I've turned off the
    'check names' option in Outlook to no avail. If I reply to a new incoming text it works fine, but it wont send any new ones..... does anyone have any words of wisdom as to why it seems to be looking to marry up mobile numbers, which should be able to be entered
    randomly and manually?
    I've tried adding numbers to a contact to no avail, as have enclosed the number in square brackets and added the international code +44..... also to no avail....

    But i found an answer that seems to work!  Thank you, AT&T!

  • Nokia 6233 can't receive SMS/text message

    My Nokia 6233 stopped receiving SMS/text messages, although I can send messages and receive/make phone calls. I let the battery run flat and then recharged again. It received some messages but stopped receiving messages again a short time later. I must say I have not been letting my battery run flat on a regular basis. Is this the cause? I bought the phone 2 years ago.
    I do have 600 plus messages in my phone- is this the cause too?
    Cheers.

    I don't think it is a battery issue. The more likely culprit is your memory getting almost full. Try deleting some old unwated messages or any other files. It is probably time to do a spring clean after 2 years.

  • Can receive sms texts but not read them

    Hi!
    my blackberry curve is currently receiving sms text messages, but they only show up as an icon at the top of the main menu, i can't actually see them or even open them. i do not have this problem with mms or email. i also can't see texts when i go to the specific 'sms' inbox. i know i'm receiving them because friends have asked why i haven't responded. but it's like they're lost to some black hole in my phone. 
    things i've tried:
    i've tried rebooting the phone, at which point i've gotten the "uncaught exception: java.lang.ClassCastException" error. 
    also, my phone is saying "attempting to open a secure server connection but the server's certificate is not trusted." sometimes i can just click close connection and get through to the phone but other times i can't. 
    i've tried rebooting the phone (taking the battery out), changing my themes settings to default (and using a default blackberry theme) and deleting all messages from my phone. 
    nothing seems to be working -- what can I do to read text messages again??

    Hey mmgiiirl,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
    This may be an issue with your SMS database. Try clearing your SMS database then test with new messages:

  • Can't send or receive SMS text

    Purchased a Curve on Tuesday and simply extended my current plan which includes texting.
    My Blackberry tells me I've sent SMS (check mark shows) but no one receives them, and I am not receiving their texts in return.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    I think the fastest way is to contact your carrier hotline.

    I just bought and activated a new Iphone 4s and I cannot send or receive normal SMS text messages. Also, my number is not showing up in the "receive at" location. Any help??

  • Cannot Receive SMS Text Messages

    I have a Blackberry 8800 on O2 network in UK. I can make and receive voice 'phone calls, send and receive emails and send SMS text mesages BUT cannot receive text messages. When I put my SIM card into another mobile the text messages come through okay. My SIM is not out of space while the "status" in Options/Security/Firewall is set to disabled so is not blocking messages. Any ideas?

    I am/was experiencing the same kind of thing. I am in San Antonio, TX and this morning at school my friend (Sprint Customer) said that she had tried to Text me twice this morning. We then tested our phones and saw that she could receive mine but I could not receive hers. Then an AT&T friend of mine sent me a message and I discovered that we can have a conversations just fine.
    Then later, after I tried another failed attempt at messaging the friend mentioned previously, I asked another freind (Yet another sprint customer) to text me and we had the same result. Then when he called me to see if i could receive calls I got his last text and many other texts from other people. The problem now is that I still do not reciece all text messages AND the ones I do get come multiple times (I am currently at 5 and counting).
    If you find any solutions please let me know

  • Cannot send or receive sms text or phone calls

    I have a storm2 9550 unlocked and am using Tmobile Pay as you go. I have tried several times to disable the password, mostly by wiping the phone. Now i cannot make a call or receive a call or send or receive a text. On the phone calls I get  a busy signal and an error message  SMS error 97 message ID 40. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello dbond,
    To correct this issue you would need to remove the IT policy from your BlackBerry smartphone.
    To do this we would need to back up the BlackBerry smartphone. Please open the BlackBerry Desktop Manager and connect your BlackBerry smartphone. Click on the Backup and Restore button and select Back Up. Please note the location where the backup is being saved as we will need to access it later to restore the BlackBerry smartphone.
    Once you have backed up your BlackBerry smartphone please follow the link below to remove the IT policy from your BlackBerry smartphone

  • HT201349 I have my iPad and iPhone set up as described but I cannot send or receive SMS texts on my iPad only imessages.

    I have my iPad and iPhone set up for messaging and facetime, but I cannot receive or send SMS texts with the iPad even when the iPhone is on. I can receive imessages. Is there something I am missing?

    Hello tonys4004,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If you'd like to set up your iOS devices for SMS using Continuity, please see the information outlined below.
    SMS
    With Continuity, all the SMS and MMS text messages you send and receive on your iPhone also appear on your Mac, iPad, and iPod touch. Even if the person you’re communicating with doesn’t have an iPhone. And regardless of what phone they have, you can reply from whichever device is closest to you, including your iPad or Mac. You can also initiate a  conversation by clicking a phone number in Safari, Contacts, or Calendar.
    To use Continuity for SMS and MMS with your iPhone and your Mac, iPad or iPod touch
    Your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch need to use iOS 8.1, and your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.
    Sign in to iMessage on your iPhone, your other iOS devices, and your Mac using the same Apple ID.
    On your iPhone:
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By, and add a check to both your phone number and email address.
    Go to Messages > Text Message Forwarding, and enable the device(s) you would like to forward messages to.
    Your Mac, iPad, or iPod touch will display a code. Enter this code on your iPhone to verify the SMS feature.
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support
    Take care,
    Alex H.

  • IPhone 6 not sending or receiving SMS Texts

    I activated my iPhone6 8 days ago.  Since activation I cannot send or receive SMS messages.  I can only iMessage with other iPhone users...so in a nutshell, I can't text with anyone who doesn't have an iPhone.  I'm up to date on iOS 8.2, I've deleted the contacts, re-added them, turned off iMessage and deleted the prior conversations.  Please help.
    Thank you,
    M

    Contact your carrier to have them check your account. SMS and MMS are a carrier function. It is possible there was a problem in the setup of your account with your new device. There are no settings on the iPhone dealing with SMS. The carrier has to handle that.

  • My iphone 4s sometimes wont show voice mail,sometimes wont ring just shows missed call,sometimes wont receive a text till next day. can anybody help me???

    My phone sometimes wont show voice mail,sometimes wont ring just shows missed calls,and some text messages wont show received till next day. Can anyone help?

    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Try reseating or replacing the SIM card.
    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). 
    Has any of the above been tried?

  • Not receiving SMS texts on Blackberry Tour anymore

    I can send and people get my texts, but now cannot receive them unless I use the Crunch SMS program. Anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I've seen this asked before. The CrunchSMS application sets a permission on your device and if you aren't using that application it needs to be changed. You need to contact the developer to determine what permission should be fixed.

  • Weird! Not receiving SMS (Texts) but have reception and 3G

    Hi all,
    Haven't had a problem with my iphone 4 until i believe I upgraded to the 4.1 and changed the case.
    Basically when I am at home and only appears to be at home and round the area I live I do not receive texts. The phone is showing 2 and 3 bars of reception, I can make calls, send text, send emails but for some reason not receiving texts. However when i make a phone call or receive one all of a sudden I get an influx of text messages come through.
    I have reset the NETWORK SETTINGS
    I have reset the ALL SETTINGS
    I have restored the iphone through itunes
    Can any one help to solve this problem?
    Cheers

    In my opinion, this is probably just a reception issue at your home. If SMS works everywhere else but your home, I think the handset is fine. Do you live in a concrete bunker or steel building?
    SMS uses the carrier or signalling channel and not necessarily the voice or data streams. It's the signalling channel that tells the phone that you have an incoming call or are making a phone call. So, theoretically, if you can make or receive a call, you should also be able to make/receive SMSs.
    Please let us know what happens.
