Blackberry Tour 9630 won't receive text messages

I know the Blackberry Tour 9630 is ancient, but I'm still using mine.  The other day, however, it quit receiving text messages.  I can send them, but can't receive any.  I have done an internet search and it seems this problem was prevalent back in 2009 and I have tried everything that was suggested at that time to try and get it to receive text, but nothing has worked.
Since it is now 2014, I was wondering if Blackberry, or anyone for that matter, ever found a workable solution to this problem.  Everything else works great on my BB, but I depend a lot on text messaging.
Thanks for any help

OK, since NOBODY bothered to reply, I'll tell you how I finally solved this problem (verizon tech support was no help) after hours and hours of phone support and checking settings on the blackberry and in Gmail.
On your desktop or handheld internet browser open your gmail account
Go to "Settings"
Go to "Labels"
Scroll down until you see the label "All Mail"
Make sure the far right box "Show in Imap" is checked.
Then it'll download your messages to your Blackberry Tour 9360.
I am a GOD! At least to my wife.  That's what counts.

    The iPad receives Text Messages through Apple's iMessage feature. Make sure this is turned on on your phone. Also, text messages received at your phone number are not shared with the iPad. Make sure that iMessage texts are being sent to your EMAIL ADDRESS

    You might try the blackberry battery pull.  It has a 95% chance of curing all blackberry problems.  Also, are you on bes or use an exchange server?  Have you ported your number?

  • VERVE 450 - Won't receive text messages

    I bought this kit specifically for SMS messaging, but it has never worked since I've had it.
    It will Send messages - but not receive them.
    I sent a message to my mobile to 'activate' it - it didn't work.
    I sent Register to 00000 - it didn't work.
    I sent Reset to 00000 - it didn't work.
    I get a message saying that it can now send & receive messages,,,,, but it still won't receive.
    Because we can't actually get in touch with BT by email, I can't ask a specific question: how do I fix this.
    When I first bought the kit (3 handsets) we could ask BT for help - having said that, they obviously can't understand English, cos they kept saying: "send register to 00000" or "send reset to 00000" etc.  This went on for weeks before I gave up.
    Any ideas please ?

    I have almost  the same problems with BT7600 Txt enabled phones. although I have been able to send /register/reregister. I can only receive spoken text messages but can send OK.  Yes I have caller display.
    A moderator looked into this for me with no luck in solving.   Do you by any chance live in South Wales as apparently this is a common problem with exchanges in South Wales. (no Infinity here) and old lines.!!! 
    EDIT.
    Noticed from a previous post of yours.....

  • Why won't I receive text messages from my sister's phone?

    I recently upgraded to the new Samsung Galaxy s5 and I won't receive text messages from my sister who has a iPhone 5S.

  • Why am I having trouble sending/receiving text messages to a blackberry phone?

    what can I do to enable my iphone 4 will not send or receive text messages from non-iphone users. 

    It sounds as if you don't have SMS enabled on your account. Contact your carrier. They should be able to add that.

  • I can call out but all incoming calls are going directly to VM with no signal that I missed a call or have VM. I can send/receive text messages from other iPhone/iPad/iTouch users, I am assuming this is really "iMessage." Is it apple software?

    I have spent hours on the phone with Apple and AT&T. I went thought reset, on/off, etc, etc with both companies to no avail. Each company pointed fingers at the other....as being the source of the problem.
    Problems: Suddenly ALL  incoming calls were going directly to VM with no signal I missed calls and/or had VM. I was also unable to receive all Text Messages...Oddly, I could send text messages to anyone (even non-apple users but I could not receive their responses)........then I when I got home I started receiving text messages from other apples users ONLY. I assume now - iMessage kicked in and I could text (send/receive)  other iPhone/iPad/iTouch users ONLY. ....yes, I could still (send) text messages to my husband's blackberry (he received my messages fine) but my phone would NOT receive his text respones.
    Finally, I googled the problem and found this community where other people have had the exact same problems! One person said he "turned off 3 G" which was the solution for him....so I did the same and VIOLA! My problem  solved! Nevermind the fact that I pay for 3G and cannot use it....so here's my question, if 3G is the problem on my phone is this an APPLE issue or a NETWORK problem? Do I purchase a new phone and slip in my same SIM card and hope the same does not occur or do I get a whole new SIM card and phone? What is the long term resolution to this problem?
    I am happy however to find that my problem is NOT an isolated incident and wish Apple or AT&T had told me this is not so uncommon because I thought (based on the baffled response from Apple) that this has never occurred before.  Where is Steve Jobs when we need him?

        jsavage9621,
    It pains me to hear about your experience with the Home Phone Connect.  This device usually works seamlessly and is a great alternative to a landline phone.  It sounds like we've done our fair share of work on your account here.  I'm going to go ahead and send you a Private Message so that we can access your account and review any open tickets for you.  I look forward to speaking with you.

  • Why can I receive text messages but not send?

    Why can I receive text messages but not send. This has been happening for about 10 hours.

    Thanks for the response. Must be smart phones. My daughter has a dumb phone and she can send out. I tried deleting my text messages on the Verizon website, but they won’t delete. It must be on their end. Chat line was busy forever, until they shut it down.

  • Is there any way I can download my received text messages to my computer

    I have a BB 8830 World Edition.  Is they any way I can download my received text messages to my computer.  If so, how?  Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    To backup/store your messages use Blackberry Desktop Manager software.
    Connect your device to the PC.
    Run the  Blackberry Desktop Manager
    Select "Backup and Restore" icon on the application window
    Click on "Advanced" button and select the information that has to be stored.
    When backup completes - there is a *.ipd file on your computer created. It contains all necessary information.
    Later you can write information from this file to the blackberry device with the same mechanism.
    For now there is no such a standard application to read stored messages on PC Computer.
    Try to find third-party applications for that purpose.

I have a blackberry tour 9630 and its an openline phone from Verizon US, and my network carrier is talk n' text, during the first months of using it, it was good, i can open my email, do social networking and bbm.. My APN settings is http://m.smart.com.ph by the way. So here's the problem, last sept 12 2011, I inserted a different sim card coz i need to get some contact from my old sim card.. now when i inserted my Talk N' text sim card, i mean when i brought back my original sim card.. my bb messed up,, i cant have my bb registration, i cant use my email, and cant do bbm anymore..

    I don't recall a "download' screen in the Desktop Software.
    It should allow you to INSTALL, if you have the operating system file itself already installed to your PC.
    Do you?
    Also, have you tried using the BlackBerry AppWorld to download BlackBerry Maps?

  • Anyone Have a Blackberry Tour 9630 Replaced with BB Bold when RIM said Tours Defective?

    I'm asking this because I need to find out who got a replacement Bold or other Blackberry for the defective Tour 9630 since in my case I got screwed.
    I'm curious when they allowed the swap and if your contract was extended?
    Why? Because my story tops them all as far as cell phone provider issues! I want to file an FCC complaint but I need some more facts that Verizon is not giving me after they look up my account and realize I'm one they got one over on.
    Here is what happened to me:
    I upgraded after my 1st year with Verizon, I got a Blackberry Tour in 1/2010. That phone had so many problems I had to keep taking it in every month for a replacement. Verizon refused to exchange for a different Blackberry. I had it 6 Blackberry Tour 9630's in 6 months.
    I even called RIM and they said they had "design" issues with the Tour and it's being taken off the market with the phone carriers, they said Verizon should be allowing you to get a replacement phone of same or lower cost (another Blackberry).
    Well that never happened and I had to file an FCC complaint before corporate finally called to help me. I even told them the "NEW" Tour I paid for when I signed a new contract was refurbished because when I tried to send the info in for the rebate, I got an letter stating that particular phone already received it's rebate.  Yep, I paid for a used phone, nice huh?
    I should have stopped it right there, given them their used phone back and walked away but I'm thinking they are working with me and gave me the rebate ASAP, it will be OK.
    WRONG!! 6 months into the contract with theTour not working and those 6 replacements I mentioned, they agree to give me another phone for $50. I said "drop dead, no more money from me because of an issue that's no fault of mine."
    Then they said OK we'll give you a phone of the same value at no charge. So not knowing how the Bold was gonna work yet, I went with a Droid 2 as the Droid 1 had been out awhile and  I heard most bugs had been worked out.
    Now here is the real kicker in the whole story. After they mailed me the new Droid, I was online paying my bill and noticed Verizon re-set my contract.
    Instead of being up in January 2012 it now shows September 2012 even though I got the Droid 2 in July. **bleep**??
    No one told me that and I couldn't get anyone to help fix that mess, they said "you got a new phone, we resolved your issue". Yeah ONE of the issues, not all of the issues like the fact the very first new phone of the new contract was USED!
    Then to make matters worse, I heard from 2 people who had Tours and they said Verizon changed the policy and replaced the Tours with the Blackberry Bold for no charge and no contract extension. One of them swaped the phone May 30th and the other at the end of June. Before and after they finally called to help me.
    This is why I need to know not what the Verizon policy states (because they can type of anything for all I know) but who got a new phone and when. What month and what year?
    This is only referring to the Blackberry Tour 9630 the one with the small black trackball that they promptly pulled off the shelves around the time I got another phone.
    If Verizon said they were looking into a solution,  I would have used my old Blackberry Curve for a bit , gotten the Bold,  and not be looking at this 9 month contract extension.
    I don't know, they make it so hard for honest people who have hit hard times and dealt with bad phone after bad phone to just get a fair break. I have been sick and out of work for 3 years, I've used every penny I saved hoping I was going to get better. That is now not going to happen and when I really need out of the **bleep** contract, they pull this garbage.
    If I just want out of the contract , I was told it would cost around $350. If I had $350 I wouldn't be typing this. I suppose I can fake my own death and get out of the contract that way.
    So guess I work on becoming dead since that's my only option. I will never, ever, ever sign a cell contract as long as live, if I live.
    I don't mean to sound like such a bitchy customer, I really feel I was screwed from the start of this contract and the screws keep coming!

    As iSync doesn't support Blackberry devices and you are using software from RIM to sync your Mac, you are unlikely to find a solution here.
    However, one general point about syncing is the more things you try to sync with, the more likely problems are to appear. Syncing with both iCal and Entourage is often a culprit. I would suggest leaving Entourage out of the equation altogether and just sync iCal and the Blackberry software.

    Another thing you can try is to ensure that the setting for ( send as sms if imessage unavailable ) is turned on, this can be found in Settings : Messages. If this doesnt work you can also try changing the contact details to read mobile instead of iphone.
    That setting is not relevant to sending SMS messages to non-iPhones. It only affects what happens when an iMessage won't go through to an iOS device. And, what the phone number is labeled has no effect on anything. You could create a custom label "Rutabaga" and the SMS would still go through if the account was properly provisioned. Those labels are for human brain convenience only.

  • Droid X Won't Send Text Messages

    My Droid X won't send text messages to one of my contacts who also has Verizon when I am in North Carolina. I can send her picture messages from NC but everytime I try to send her a text I get a message saying "text not sent". I can receive messages from her but cannot send them. I don't have any problem when I am at home in Virginia but in North Carolina it won't send my messages. I don't think it is a problem with my plan or coverage bc I can send messages to everyone else in my phonebook, she is the only person that my phone won't send them too. It makes no sense to me. HELP!!!!!

    I am also having issues with my Droid Ultra. I get some messages from my wife, while others do not come through.I can verify this by looking at her phone. This has been happening past few days. I also have noticed that a pop up stating that messaging suddenly has stopped working. Please advise!

  • Cant receive text messages after update

    Updated my phone last night and now I can't receive text messages. I can send them but not receiving them. I share my account with my wife and I was receiving her text messages. When I go to iMessage, I can't select my own number. It is grey and not checked, but won't let me check it. I sign out of my account, and sign back in, and it shows the number checked when I sign in, but is not checked in the iMessage settings.
