Can no longer send/receive texts on my new phone

New Moto e phone and service bought two days ago. Everything was working fine. Went into Verizon account and checked that we did not want to receive premium texts ($0 cost). My phone will no longer send or receive any text messages. When we go into Verizon account premium text option no longer shown so there is no way to undo this. Help, I use texts for work!!!

lindajj, Yikes!! I would be so lost without my text messages. I use my text for everything these days. Let's make sure that we get you up and running with no issues. Does everything else work on your cell phone (calls and data)? Are you using the text message application that came on the phone or a 3rd party application from the Play Store? Also, do you get any kind of error messages when you try to send out a text message? Please keep me posted.

TS4268 iPhone users can no longer send me text messages now that i've moved to a non-iOS phone. Can iMessage service or Message users be refreshed to see me as a normal text message recipient?

iPhone users can no longer send me text messages now that i've moved to a non-iOS phone. Can iMessage service or Message users be refreshed to see me as a normal text message recipient?
I still have an iPhone, but haven't turned it on for weeks. And there's no SIM in it, so no cell service, just WiFi. When I turn it on after a prolonged period of having it off (weeks), a bunch of messages popup that should have been forwarded to my new phone (same phone number and carrier as when I was an iPhone user) but appear to sit in iMessage queue indefinitely instead.
I'm guessing it has to do with the link that's made when an iPhone first realizes that it's talking to another iPhone and defaults, for all future texts, to iMessage. You know, the green to blue switch. How does that association get undone?
Has anyone else seen this, and if so, is there a fix?

your number can remain on the imessage server for some time

Verification of email done why can't I send/receive text

Help, I can no longer send/receive images in messenger on my iphone 4

I have noticed that I can no longer send or receive images in messenger on my phone since the first IOS 7 update. Now i'm noticing that I can not send/receive anything other than text. Also, I can not receive the messages that are sent to a group, which is bad since my boss only sends group messages when we are closed for weather.
I have updated to the latest IOS 7.0.6 tonight but not sure what to do to start sending images again. I would really like to be able to share some of my pics with others and not have to post them to facebook. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks so much for your time.

Hi nathanabc,
If you are having issues deactivating iMessage, you may find the "Unlink a phone number" portion of the following article helpful:

Can no longer send/receive MMS from Non-iPhones

Just recently (after I updated my iPhone 4S to the iOS 7.0.4), I have been unable to send or receive MMS messages from anyone who does not have an iPhone. I've tried to restart my phone and reset my network settings (temporary fix - it'll let me send or receive maybe 1 MMS from non-iphone user immediately after restart and/or network settings reset and then it will stop working again). I have no issues sending/receiving through iMessage to iPhone users, but for non-iPhone users, it will say "Not Delivered." This issue is both on Wi-Fi and Cellular Data. Has anyone encountered this same issue --- AND found a solution???? I don't have the option to back-up my data (pics/videos, etc) and do a complete restor of my phone to factory settings - so any solutions not involving that would be greatly appreciated!!

TS5185 Not receiving texts to a new phone.

This requires quite a bit of background story so please bare with me. I recently bought a new Samsung Note 3 and it has been absolutely delightful. However, I've noticed that those people who I regularily text that have an iPhone I can no longer recieve text messages from. I found several threads on the Android website that addressed this issue. However the steps listed have not as yet fixed the problem. I've noticed it is only people with an iPhone that I cannot receive a text from, these messages go to my iPad and its iMessaging system. So I turned off iMessage, my old phone and WiFi access to my old phone. None of these things worked. Farther down the thread someone said that for some reason reseting your Apple ID password seemed to work. Now here is my question:
1) Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this problem?
2) My Apple ID will not allow me to reset me password or the security questions and it will not send me the email no matter how many times I try. Is there a reason for this?

Having similar trouble. Just activated a Droid Maxx. Still getting iPhone texts only on old iPhone and iPad. Verizon told me to go to "settings" then go to "messages"and turn off "iMessage". I couldn't do it on phone. Was able to do it on iPad. But I'm still not getting texts from iPhones on my new droid

Since installing OS Lion update on July 4th I can no longer send/receive email on my MacBook Pro yet my iPhone is still working.

Any idea why? Or what to do about it? Thanks!

No, because you didn't provide any details

After using as modem, can no longer send/receive email. Any ideas why?

My IT department recently upgraded the service to include use of Blackberry as a modem. That works fine...the problem is each time I connect to the computer, it somehow wipes out my setting on the once I unplug, I'm on an Enterprise Server so each time this occurs, my IT folks have to reset my password.
Sprint had me erase the "Service Books" on the phone and then gave me a new one but that did not work.
Thanks in advacne!

I suggest backing up your device, then preforming a clean application load of the device software. To do this see the article below:

After upgrading to iOS7, I can no longer send or receive texts that aren't iMessages.

As the title indicates: After upgrading to iOS7, I can no longer send or receive texts that aren't iMessages.
The text conversations are still there; you can see that I used to be able to text anyone. But now I cannot.
I have followed several different fixes suggested in these forums, I have Restored my phone, I have Reset Network Settings, I have Reset All Settings, I have checked settings on several friend's phones. But I still cannot send or receive texts that are not iMessage texts.
This seems like a pretty big deal. People text more than they call. And I now have a phone that cannot text very many people.
It is so frustrating. I have spent so much time trying to get it to work.

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions ...
I don't know if this is a corrupted preference file or not, but it sure can't hurt to try this.
If Mail is open, Quit Mail.
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
Drag that .plist file to the Desktop. Launch Mail and see if you can send or receive e-mail. If you can, that .plist file is corrupted. Drag it to the trash, empty the trash and reboot. Your Mac will create a new preference file for you the next time you launch Mail.
Also... run Disk Utility and Repair Disk Permissions. Disk Utility is in your Applications/Utilities folder. Launch DU, select MacintoshHD 10.x.x in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab, click Repair Disk Permissions. Quit DU when it's finished and reboot.

Updated OS to 10.1.0.4181 and can no longer send texts

I got prompted for a BB10 OS update to version 10.1.0.4181. I downloaded and installed the OS without any issues, took about 25-30 minutes. Now I can no longer send or receive text messages (every other feature seems to be working fine, including email and calling). Anybody else have this issue? How can I resolve this?
What happens is: every single conversation I had is still in the text log/hub however, when I select any previous message or try to compose a new one, it automatically chooses my last text, opens up the conversation which appears blank and when I type, the keyboard pops up however the text field remains under the keyboard (cannot see it) and the send button is not working. Any help is much appreciated!
Solved!

I am so frustrated with Blackberry Z10. My text will not work either and I have tried to restart my phone, take my battery out etc many many times and it still won't work. I have always bought blackberry, but with this
inconvenience, I will probably never get a blackberry again. My phone was working fine until I did the update. I was told to restore my phone to factory setting and I did that, but I lost everything on my phone, yes, I did backup my files, but it took over an hour to restore my phone and then I had to redownload everything I had saved, and I lost any progress I had on the games I had downloaded. My main purpose for my phone is texting and all I get told, is Blackberry is working on a fix. Well its been over a month and nothing yet. I find this extremely annoying. My bf has a iphone and I am just about willing to use his phone. Its sad that I paid over $500 for a phone that I can not use, and there is no compensation at all, just "wait until blackberry comes out with a new update". So frustrated.
You're doing something wrong here it should be hard, I'm on the same OS update.
When you did update? did you restore once the update was complete?

Can no longer send email from my accounts but can receive

I have 5 email accounts set up on my imac. 3 are mine 2 are my partners. I can no longer send emails from my accounts but my partner still can. They all still receive mail but when I attempt to send mail I get:-
Cannot Send Message Using Server
Then i'm asked to select a different server from a list. I have tried all but to no avail.
I first of all deleted my partners sky.com account because it appeared to me that this was maybe overiding all other accounts and it was no longer needed on imac.
I then deleted one of my accounts - hotmail, to see if i added it again maybe it would work but now I cant even re add the mail account as everytime i go to mail, preferences account to set it up again the initial screen comes up with my partners details including the sky.com username and when i overwrite these and try to install hotmail acount I get told that logging in failed check user name and password is correct. Which they are.
All used to work fine but now I have these problems, they appeared to have started when my partner set up an icloud account and is synching with this - could this be the cause?
I can send email from my accounts from iphone still but no longer from imac.

First,
I'd run all availiable software updates. After that, I would try removing all of the accounts from "Mail", and then re-adding them. Be aware that if your folders and such are located on your mac, and not on the mail servers, you may risk lose some information (always have a back-up).
Sometimes, when you have a number of e-mail account there can be server issues abound. I would go into the server lists and make sure that they are set properly. If you see the "use only this server" box, check it for each of them.

I changed nothing in my email account but can no longer send emails on my talktalk account and get the message, "authentication required." I am running Mavericks on my MacBook Pro. I can receive messages on talktalk. Can send

I changed nothing in my email account, talktalk.net, but can no longer send (server's response, "authentication required) No problem receiving, I am using Mavericks on my MacBookPro. No problem using Cloud, but I want to use my talktalk account as before the problem
I can send and receive using talktalk without any problems using my iPod and iPad.
I would be most grateful for help - in simple form, please, I am an 80 plus female Mac lover!

The error I see is you did not specify the proper authentication for the smtp server.
In the Mail preferences for the account, smtp popup, select Edit SMTP Server List. A sheet will drop down. Select Advanced tab on that sheet. You should, I assume, set the Authentication to password, and set the proper username and password. That's where the poper would be set if 587 is not the one you should be using. Maybe it is. I only bring it up since I see it trying to use port 587.
If you got this stuff already set correctly then I don't know. Mail has a problem in your setup. Maybe delete the account and recreate it from scratch.

HT204053 The one alias I've had for over 5 years has not fully migrated over to iCloud. My account now shows 3of3 aliases available but I'm still able to receive messages addressed to my old alias. I can no longer send emails using this alias. Help!

For years I have been using [email protected] for business.
It is on my business cards, stationary and most of my closest correspondences are maintained off of that email.
The documentation I've read indicates aliases should be transferred over as part of this iCloud migration but this does not seem to be the case. My account now shows 3of3 aliases available but I'm still able to receive messages addressed to the alias. I can no longer send emails from this alias.
How do I get this corrected?
