Can't receive SMS on N900
I've had my N900 for about a month. When I signed up for T-Mobile service I received a text message welcoming me to T-Mobile and informing me of my account balance. I haven't been able to receive any text messages since then. This only became apparent recently when trying to set up an online account where they try to send an SMS message with a temporary password.
I can send outgoing SMS without problems. They go out immediately and are received by other phones. SMS from other phones back to my N900, or sent via e-mail, just disappear.
I spent some time yesterday with T-Mobile's technical support. I'm not exactly clear on the way GSM networks operate, but the tech claimed he could only see one of the two connections he should be seeing. He suggested I try my sim card on a T-Mobile locked phone. I'll do this as soon as I find somone who has such a thing. However, it seems unlikely that this is the problem. (I mean it's not the first time T-Mobile have set up a phone account for someone.)
I had been using the default "Use SMS Messaging Center settings from SIM card". The tech gave me a new number to put there, but it didn't change anything. Besides which, I -did- receive an initial text message when I set up the account using the default "from SIM card" setting.
Things that changed since I first set up the account are:
I've updated the Maemo OS twice, the most recent time being yesterday 2010/2/20.
I've downloaded a few apps.
I have an sshd daemon on the phone now, so I can ssh in to poke around. I've also spent some time on the forums and trying some of the suggestions for fixing broken SMS in the "Conversations" app. Specifically, I tried
cd .rtcom-eventlogger
mkdir keep
mv el* keep
then cycling the power on the phone. No joy on this.
Similarly, df shows that I haven't filled up any of my disk partitions. The fullest is "/" at 72%.
I don't understand how GSM and SMS do their connections. In case it's of any use, for what it's worth, a netstat returns:
~/.rtcom-eventlogger $ netstat -a

I can watch /var/spool/sms and see an outgoing message briefly in the "outgoing" directory. If I send an SMS to the phone though, I don't see anything coming in to "incoming".
I've looked at dmesg and can't see any errors reported there.
I'm running into a character limit on this posting, so I'll post a "ps xauww" as a follow on to this message.
Many thanks in advance!

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...

why i can't receive sms from my wife iPhone4 ? we both have iphone 4 with different account.
If the music on your wife's computer was purchased using a different iTunes account than the one your phone is signed into, the music won't transfer. You can only have iTunes content from one account on the phone at a time.
You can set up Home Sharing where you can stream your wife's music to your phone but only when the phone is connected to your local WiFi network -
Can't receive SMS messages in inbox
self explanatory title, i can send but not receive sms messages unless i use the application crunchSMS. I receive stuff like bbm and the messages box in used in conjunction. I've been using crunchSMS for 2 months now and i've received messages in the message box and the app.
Have i pressed a wrong button or somethingHi 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.

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.

How can I receive SMS on my Skype phone?
I've just setup my new Skype phone and tried to send myself an SMS from another mobile. Seems that the call can go trhoughm while SMS don't - any reason for that?
You cannot receive SMS on any iPad.
The iPad is not a cellular telephone. SMS relies on cellular telephone networks.
You can send/receive iMessages to other Apple devices. -
I can't receive SMS ! BB Curve 8520
Hi, my English isn't that good but I'll try my best to describe my problem.
I have the Blackberry curve 8520 and version 4.6. Is installed.
Whenever I have installed themes I wasn't able to read SMS anymore. Actually the red light gets on (which shows all notifications) and a SMS symbol can be seen on the display, but when I look for the SMS it doesn't appear.
The only way I can read new SMS are that I write a SMS on my own to be able to read the SMS I just got before! Besides I have to click twice on it until it really opens the SMS.
I've even uninstalled these Themes, but nothing changed.
I wonder why my phone behaves like that because the themes where compatible...
I think this is not normal and I hope u can tell me, how to fix it. Thank you for your helpHi Reyhane_Cherry_Mint
Have you tried switching to one of the default BlackBerry themes to see if the behavior continues?
Thanks

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 improvementHi 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 SMS texts from non-iPhone users
My phone suddenly stopped letting me receive texts from non iPhone users yesterday. Since then, I have powered my phone on and off, reset the network, and power cycle. My mother has been in the hospital and I have to be here with her all day. I have no time to go to a verizon store. I've only had the phone a week and I'm really disappointed with this. Seeing my mom is in the hospital, I really need this to be working, but I'd don't even know of something else to try.
Ktoole, I can understand how frustrating this could be. How long has this been an issue? Have you ever been able to receive texts from non-iPhone users? Do you have iMessage on or off? Have you tried to restore the phone through iTunes?

Why can't I receive sms on skype?
I paid for skype credit specifically so that I could send and recieve texts. Why can't people return skype texts? I would not have paid for the service if I knew it was only for sending, since you can send text messages for free online!

I also want to know the answer to this question. I'm willing to buy a Skype ONLINE NUMBER if it means that I can recieve return SMS.
You can't receive SMS messages with Skype's Online Numbers.
In most countries, these Online Numbers are either "landline" or some other special Voice-over-IP class of number, not a mobile number. If you have a mobile number set up as Caller ID with your Skype account, SMS messages can be sent from Skype and carry that mobile number as the "sender" of the message. Replies would then go to the mobile number, not to Skype.

I want to be able to receive confirmation sms for various services using Skype Number.
Tried sending one from my mobile to my Skype Number to test and it doesn't seem to work. Am I missing something?
Thanks for your feedback!
FranciscoHi, Duendetico, and welcome to the Community,
Skype Numbers can not receive SMS replies; the replies are routed to your mobile phone. More about this here: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA676/can-i-send-sms-text-messages-to-any-number

Problem receiving sms - Nokia 5800
Hi everyone,
I bought an unlocked Nokia 5800 in Spain, I used it for a month with a sim card from "Happy Movil" vendor. It was working just fine.
But once I was back in Argentina I put my sim card from my regular vendor (Personal). So my problem begans here.
I can receive and make calls (Calls are fine), I can send SMS to anyone but I can't receive SMS from another vender that's not Personal (such as Movistar or Claro).
Please someone could help me solving this issue??
Thanks in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.Message center number: Double check that you have it correctly entered. I would suggest that you delete the one already there, and enter the number afresh, and restart your phone
Take out the SIM and make sure the contacts are clean, put it back in and then try again
You may also try restoring factory settings (*#7780# at the stand-by screen; enter the lock code, default is 12345)
Hey, being specific, is it that you cannot receive any sms from other network providers? Try sending an sms to your own number. If you receive it soon, then you should contact the customer support of your network provider for sorting out the problem.
Hope this helps...
