Have i pressed a wrong button or something

Hi millz90,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The functionality of viewing All Inboxes has not changed from iOS 6 to iOS 7.
Take a look at the screenshot from the iOS 7 User guide below.
In this example, the user is looking at an inbox from one specific email account.
Notice the blue Mailboxes link in the top left corner of the screen.
When you tap on Mailboxes on your device, the new screen should have the title Mailboxes at the top and All Inboxes should be the first item on the list.
If you scroll down to the bottom of the screen, you will see your Accounts listed, and you can choose to open a specific email account to look at its Inbox or Sent mailbox.

Can't receive SMS messages from Verizon Iphone 6 user

I have had an iphone 6+ since it came out. I've had my imessages turned off for several months because it was eating up so much data (all of a sudden...never an issue with my 4s before my upgrade.). Just in the last day, I've noticed I have not been able to receive message from my husband, who also has an iphone 6+ wtih Verizon. I've never had an issue with receiving his messages before yesterday when they just stopped. It shows on his phone that it was sent via SMS on his phone, but nothing shows on mine. I called other family members with iphones and Verizon as well and they have said they have sent me messages as well with no response from me, but I never received them. What's the deal?
1. All are iphone users
2. All are on Verizon's network
3. Sporatic timing of non-retreival of messages
4. iMessages work, but I do not want to use them as it has already caused me to up my data plan twice since upgrading to a new phone.
5. I've restarted my phone several times with no improvement

Hi Yosef,
I had to delete every one of my apps that I transferred over from my 4s and I was still going over data. I used all the same apps from my 4s and in the same manner and frequency. (I tracked my data useage for 2 years and i never went over 2gb of data). I turned cell data off on EVERYTHING except for facebook which I check occationally and google maps. Once I turned imessages off, I wasn't getting overages. (but I had to increase my plan twice to insure that). Now I can't use the apps I used to have and can't use them except on wifi without going over my data allowance within a few days of my plan starting each month.
I've messaged some family members and they indicated that their messages to me were automatically changing to imessage, though i have had it shut off since October. I did restart my phone yesterday, but changed no settings, which is when I suddenly couldn't recieve messages anymore. All the previous threads were in SMS. Why would it change to imessage within an SMS thread just from a phone restart?

Can't receive Text messages - says inbox full when it isn't.

I have a Motorola Hint. Starting yesterday (or at least that's when I noticed it), whenever I receive a text message I get the following error:
Inbox is full. Erase older Text Messages to receive a new Text Message.
However, I have deleted more than 30 text messages (and picture messages) and when I go into my Inbox the phone correctly states "Txt msg 83% full". Yet when I receive a text message from someone else, or even from my own phone sending it to myself, it still give the same error above and thus won't download the message.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Rich

I have been using the phone for 3 years and never had a problem like this. Frequently my phone is filled to 90% or more, and if it gets to 100% I just delete a message and a rejected one arrives. Now I have deleted 30+ and not received any new messages, just the notification that the inbox is full (which it isn't). Unless something happened that would change the number of messages that can be stored on the phone, so the network says the inbox is full but the phone still thinks it isn't, it shouldn't help to delete more messages, but that's my only option so far. Did the size of a text message change over the last few days (eg from 160 characters to 255 or something)? That would be a logical explanation for why it could hold 347 messages before and now can't hold 290...

this is very frustrating

Hi shineshinebobo,
Thanks for the question. Based on what you stated, it seems like you are not receiving sms messages. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages - Apple Support
If you can't send and receive SMS
You will need these to send and receive SMS:
An iPhone
A strong cellular network connection through a cellular network provider
A domestic SMS plan from your cellular provider (You might need an international messaging plan to send SMS to an international contact. Contact your carrier for more information)
A roaming SMS plan when you use a cellular provider's network that is different from your billing cellular provider's network (Learn more about roaming and contact your carrier for more information.)
To resolve issues sending and receiving SMS, follow these steps
Go to Settings and turn airplane mode off.
Make sure that you have a cellular network signal in the status bar of your iPhone. If there's no signal, learn more about troubleshooting no service.
Restart your iPhone.
Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
Remove your SIM card and insert it again.
If you still can't send or receive SMS, follow these steps
Make sure that the contact who's trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
Make sure that you're using the area code with the contact's phone number. When sending messages internationally, you also need to use the contact's international code.
If you're using a "Pay as you go" SMS plan, make sure it has enough available balance. Contact your carrier if you're unsure of your SMS plan or the available balance.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and recreate the contact from the Contacts app. Send a new message to the contact.
Back up and restore your iPhone as new.
If your carrier has recently ported your phone number, the porting process might not be complete. Contact your carrier to confirm that the porting process is complete.
Contact your carrier to confirm that you're provisioned for sending SMS and are in an area with cellular coverage.
Contact your carrier to verify there are no blocks or filters placed on your wireless account preventing you from sending SMS.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Mario

Received sms messages disappeared-sms inbox empty

Hi, i have a blackberry curve 8520 and suddenly all my received sms messages disappeared. so now when i go to the sms folder i see only the sent sms. i went to view folders-sms inbox and it is empty.
i have tried restore backup, battery pull, i have 100 mb free memory and 1gb on my memory
any suggestions?
thank you!

So is your "Messages" or "SMS" icon missing? Try to reset the device by removing the battery for 30 seconds. Also try to reset the theme by going into Options | Theme, hitting the menu button, and choosing Reset Theme Defaults.

Could send, but not receive SMS messages until today - Can I retrieve the SMS messages that never came in?

I didn't realize until today, but I haven't been receiving SMS messages for two weeks. I'm pretty sure it started when I sent an MMS message. People have been getting my messages, but I haven't received any SMS sent to me. Today I reset my phone and was able to receive an SMS that I asked someone to send.
Is there any way to retrieve the SMS messages from the last two weeks that didn't come in on my phone?
I have a Curve 8900

Hi,
As far as sms r concerned, that were sent to u around 2 weeks ago cannot be retrieved because of the reason that sms do have a time period for being delivered,else r self destroyed.
In other words, suppose a sms has 24 hrs time for delivery and for any reason the sms is not being delivered in that given time period to the specified number, then the sms will automatically get erased/destroyed depending on the netwrok provider.
Sorry for ur loss...
with regards

Verizon iPhone 4S stopped being able to receive SMS messages last night. Any ideas?

My wife and I have had our iPhone 4S's since they first became available in 2011. Up until last night we had not had any issues. All of a sudden a couple of our relvatives called us and said they could not send us text messages, they were getting Not Delivered messages or SMS Failure, depending on their carrier/device (they do not have iPhones). My wife and I were still able to send iMessages to each other, but when I shut off iMessage to debug, we were not able to send SMS messages to each other. Turned iMessage back on and we are able to message back and forth.
Note, our two iPhones share the same Apple ID, but each phone's iMessage is associated with a different phone number and email. Both phones were on iOS 6.0.2
I searched this forum and Verizon for solutions, tried several starting with reboot, delete all existing messages, delete contact and finally did a backup and factory restore via iTunes for my device only. Still no luck, I cannot receive SMS messages.
I had not yet installed iOS 6.1.x after reading of some of the issues. However, since I tried a factory restore to fix this, I was foreced to updated to 6.1.2.
We did not receive the message that we have reached the 75,000 message limit, but just to be sure, we deleted all old messages and still nothing.
So to summarize:
iMessage works fine, send and receive between the two of us and other iPhone users
We are able to send SMS messages, we have confirmed that people can receive our SMS messages
We cannot receive SMS message. We never see the messages and the people who try to text us get undeliverable messages.
All started yesterday evening.
Any help is much appreciated.

Contact your carrier to confirm that your messaging plan is properly provisioned. They are responsible for routing your sms messages.

After the latest iOS 5.0.1 upgrade I can't receive sms (only iMessage)

After the latest iOS 5.0.1 upgrade on my iPhone 4s (carrier is AT&T) I can't receive sms. I can send messages, I assume they are all going through iMessage, but unless someone is using iMessage, I dont' receive a reply. I spent 2 hours on the phone with AT&T and they said its an issue with the latest patch and that apple is working on it. Here is what we did:
1. Soft reset
2. Reset network connection
3. Deleted all messages and closed Messages app
4. Reactivated the phone
5. AT&T checked all the settings on their end
6. Restored the phone to factory settings and restored from back-up
Is anyone else having this problem? And more importantly has anyone been able to fix it? And if so, how?

Try this... You will Not Lose Any Data...
Turn the Phone Off...
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
Turn the Phone On...

Curve 8300 - Can't send SMS messages - Email set up?

Hi, my dad has an old Blackberry curve 8300 that was a work phone, it is unlocked and can make and receive calls, and receive sms messages, however I cannot get it to send sms messages.
Is this because he never set up an email address with the Blackberry?
It won't let me enter a personal email address, Is this because it was his work phone and is there any way to change this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi dave12384
Welcome to BlackBerry Support Forums
As it was Work Phone it might have some IT policy enabled on it as a result you may not be able to use those feature .
SMS is Emails service are both different , One comes under Voice level and another under Data Level Services .In order to enjoy Email services on legacy BlackBerry devices we need BlackBerry Data Plan . When we activate those Data Plan our Carrier push those Service Books to our Device and it will allow us to add any email account on our Blackberry Smartphones. But as your Device is a Work Phone so it may not allow you to add any BIS plan unless those IT policies are removed from that particular devices .You can refer to this Knowledge base to remove an IT policy but first do a backup of your device :
KB31291 : How to reset a BlackBerry smartphone to factory settings using BlackBerry Desktop Software
KB18998 : How to reset the BlackBerry smartphone to factory defaults
But mind it sometime it is very difficult to remove an IT policy from such devices in which those Policies are deeply coded , but you should try to see if that help.

TS4268 I CAN NOT RECEIVE TEXT MESSAGES FROM PEOPLE USING IMESSAGE - I HAVE MY IMESSAGE TURNED OFF BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT TEXTS GOING TO ALL MY ACCOUNTS - HOW DO I RESOLVE THIS PLEASE HELP - MISSING SEVERAL IMPORTANT COMMUNICATIONS...

I CAN NOT RECEIVE TEXT MESSAGES FROM PEOPLE USING IMESSAGE

On an iPhone your iMessages will go to your phone number.
You can select another email to use on iPod or iPad.
Go to settings
Messages
Send and receive
Check your phone number and uncheck the common Apple ID you share so your messages will not go to other devices.

All of a sudden I can not receive text messages on my MOTOX. Does anyone know how to solve this problem. I can send them, but can't receive them.

My MOTO X was working fine, then all of a sudden, I can not receive text messages. I have checked the settings and they look correct to me, and I have done everything the web site recommends, except wiping the phone and starting over, to try and fix it. Has anyone else had this issue, and how did you resolve it?
Thanks so much.

That's strange that your Moto X wont receive any text. Thank you for trouble shooting the issue. Let's see what's going on! Does your device have any physical or liquid damage? Does anyone else have an issue with calling or texting? What zip code are you in?

IPhone 5c - can't receive group messages after updating to IOS 8.0.2

I have an IPhone 5c and I updated to the IOS 8.0.2 yesterday afternoon and now I can't receive group messages. I have rebooted my phone and reset my network settings along with turning IMessage off & on, turning group messaging off & on.
Does anyone know of a fix for this?

Ok. Just got off the phone with Applecare. We finally figured out what my problem was. Before iCloud, I had a .mac account. So, my phone had two email accounts, 1. iCloud 2. mac.com accounts. Applecare had me delete completely both accounts from my phone, leaving no mail accounts at all. Then I added a new iCloud account. Put in my email address and password, then everything worked from there. Sounds simple. Good luck to the rest of you. Hope it's the same fix. And a big "thank you" to Xavier at Applecare.

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.
