    Thats nice.  Thanks for sharing that with us.  Perhaps you'd like to actually ask a question since presumably that is why you came here, yes?

    Follow the instructions below for assistance with troubleshooting cellular data issues on your iPhone. After performing each step, please test to see if the issue is resolved.
    1. Toggle airplane mode: Tap Settings, turn airplane mode on, wait three seconds, and then turn off again.
    2. Restart your iPhone.
    3. Ensure that your software is up to date:
              - Check for a Carrier Settings Update. Tap Settings > General > About.
              - Check for an iOS Software Update. Tap Settings > General > Software Update. Note: Some updates may require a Wi-Fi connection.
    4. Remove the SIM Card and reinsert it. Allow the iPhone to acquire the network again.
    5. If your SIM card has SIM PIN enabled, try toggling it off: Tap Settings > Phone > SIM PIN.

    8. Restore the iPhone as new.
    9. Contact your carrier to:
              - Verify that the iPhone is properly set up on the account with the appropriate, current data plan.
              - Verify that there are no account-related blocks.
              - Find out if there are specific error messages in the carrier logs that could help determine why the issue is occurring.
    If none of the above steps resolves the issue, contact your carrier, make an appointment at an Apple Retail Store, or contact AppleCare to troubleshoot further.
    Thanks,

  • Can't receive long (2part) text messages and Picture messages say they were sent be they aren't

    I can't receive long (2 part) text messages, I only receive the first part or the second part but never the entire text. Also my picture messaging is unpredictable, sometimes I can send them sometimes I can't, it always tells me they were sent but the receiver doesn't always get them. Do I have to change something in my settings to fix these problems?
    Thanks
    Amy

    My phone has also stopped receiving long texts, (2 part messages). It has now started to receive only part 2. If you find a way to resolve this i would like to know too. Thanks shan

  • Nokia C6 - Problem receiving incoming picture text...

    Just received two pictures from a  friend, my phone is telling me "file format is not supported". I am also unable to forward the texts to my email (from the phone or OVI), or open them when linked to my computer when using OVI. Is there any software update I can get so the phone can recognize other picture sizes/formats, or a work around so I can actually view the pictures/import them to my computer or something.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the link, aspergerguy. It's quite an annoying issue. I wonder if it's only limited to Nokia phones though. Anyway, there's no solution.

  • I can only receive .bmp pictures

    Greetings.
    I'm having problem with my Skype when it comes to sending and receiving pictures by friends.
    Everytime someone sends me a picture, I can't receive it.
    The only way I CAN receive it, is when it is a .bmp file.
    Everything else concerning text and video files works fine.
    Hopefully I can get some help.
    Thanks for reading, and thanks in advance.
    Cheers.

    With the latest Skype versions, image files (.jpg and .png) are transferred now using the Cloud transfer mode. Other file types, incl. .bmp, .gif or any other older image formats, are still transferred using the old P2P mode. Cloud transfer mode is handled by Internet Explorer engine and requires well functioning Internet Explorer installed on your computer.
    What is the version of Internet Explorer installed on your computer?
    In Internet Explorer go to Help -> About Internet Explorer.

  • Can't receive or send texts? please help!

    every so often my text messages don't send and I can't receive them either. either the loading bar at the top takes forever or they dont send at all. It's happening a lot more recently, sometimes my inbox is completely blank (not even showing old messages) and sometimes it says I have unread messages when I dont! I've tried using imessage, that doesn't work either just does the same. im using an iphone 5 now but it used to happen on my iphone 4 too! Ive even switched networks so I don't think it's that. I have a full signal bar, full wifi, I can get it to work if I restart my iphone but 10 minutes later the problems back. also tried resetting my network settings, please can someone help, this is really annoying! i only got my iphone last month, thanks

    Same problem, cannot text and when I call it comes up as number not known.

  • IPhone 5s can't receive non verizon text

    I got my iphone 5s today but I can't receive text from non verizon users. I can send text to every on but not receive. I have turned off and I have reset phone 5 times. What can I do to receive text. My son is sick and needs to be able to text me.

        tlfouch- Let's get all of your messages to work properly. Check your message settings and see if imessage is enabled. If so, disable it then power your device off and back on and have her retest. Also, you can find other troubleshooting tips for both devices with our troubleshooting assistant link: http://vz.to/12TLCsR

  • New iphone can't receive or send text messages

    I can't receive or send test messages. I tried turning airplane mode on and off. I also don't seem to have a data plan added to my service. I looked at my contract and it just shows family talk. I thought they automatically add this to iphone contracts.

    It doesn't display an error message. It sends it out, but the recipient never receives it. I think the Best Buy person screwed up my service some how. She didn't sign me up for a data plan or a text message plan for this account. I was supposed to keep my same plan. It should still send texts though (at a higher non-text plan rate).

  • Help!!! I can't receive or send text messages...only imessaging

    How can I get my new iPhone 4s to send and receive text messages?

    Hi, I have a ipod touch 3g with the latest ios 5.  I can't seem to send text messages via the green "message" icon.  The imessage icon is on but it doesn't work....would you know of anything else I can do to allow messages to send and receive??  thanks

  • Iphone 4s-when wifi is off and I am away from my home connection can I receive and send texts and text messages?  I want to keep my wifi off to limit data (email etc) to when I want to check it.  Cellular is roaming"voice only" it says.Can I get texts?

    When my wifi is off and I'm away from my home connection - it shows wifi off (unless I turn it on to check my email etc.) - and in the settings cellular it shows "voice only". Will I be able to receive and send texts in those settings?  Or check voicemail.  I had wanted to keep my email from coming in all the time and only want to check it periodically - so I turn ON my wifi when I want to check my email.  But when my wifi was off away from home- I hadn't seemed to be getting my texts.  So- do I need to keep wifi roaming connected when away from home to receive and send my texts in real time.  (which is what I want) or am I still able to send and receive texts with my wifi off when I'm away from home.  (When I'm home I am connected to my home data plan automatically through wifi and I get texts when I'm home - but I'm thinking I'm not getting texts in real time - is it because my wifi is off when I'm away from home?  My cellular shows voice only when my wifi is off away from home.  Am I doing it right to receive and send texts away from home?  Or do I need to open up the wifi in order to receive and send text messages.  I know that I would need to turn on wifi roaming - which will use data - for email checking or sending - as well as to use browsing apps and now I'm guessing to receive voice messages I may have missed?  So do I need wifi on to receive texts too?  Thank you - GregorySC

    Hello GregorySC,
    In order to send and receive SMS or MMS messages, you will need to have an active cellular data or Wi-Fi connection.
    You will need these to send and receive iMessages:
    An iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    iOS 5.0 or later
    A cellular data connection or a Wi-Fi connection
    A phone number or Apple ID registered with iMessage in Settings > Messages
