Can't send or receive group texts after 8.1 update

I can't send or receive group texts after I updated my phone. I do get "get media content now" but nothing happens when I click it.

Hi, @ImSqueakaFied.
For which phone model is this? Are you referring to the Lumia Cyan software update or the Windows Phone 8.1 Preview for Developer?
Good job on your very first post, by the way!

I am having issues sending and receiving group texts on my iphone 5c

I am having issues sending and receiving group texts on iphone 5c. I may get texts only from the sender or a few of the recipients, but not all. I spoken to Apple. They are working on the problem but it has been almost two months + and the problem seems to be getting worse. Any one have this issue?

ajspurr, sorry to hear that you're still having some troubles here, but we want to figure this out. If you have already cleared the application cache and data and it's still giving you an issue, we may want to reset the device. By resetting the device we can ensure there are no underlying software issues. If you have the device backed up you can take a look here to see how to reset the device http://vz.to/1ucTCmE. Give that a try and keep us posted.

I cannot send or receive group text messages as well as pictures messages / MMS. What should I do? The settings on Messages was set to receive group texts but it does not solve the problem.

Wow, 1yerdua. That's far too long to be having this messaging trouble. We want to find the resolution fast! If you turn off your Lumia's WiFi (Menu > Settings > WiFi), are you still able to access data-oriented applications like Internet Explorer? Have you been to other areas of the state/country and experienced the same trouble?

Can't send MMS or group text to non-iPhones.

Previously i had no problems with this until a couple of weeks ago.
There wasn't some event that i am aware of that caused an onset of this.
Now I can only send pictures or group messages to other iPhones.
I have cellular data, MMS and SMS settings on.
Have tried sending picture text and group messages with and without wifi on (as well as switching the others on/off one at a time & testing).
Tried with iMessage on/off.
Tried every combo of Send & Receive phone/email (& off).
Reset network settings.
Wiped phone clean and restored with iCloud backup.
Using AT&T.
Still nothing.

Can send text-only messages to non-iPhones.
Any other ideas out there?

Sending and receiving group texts on galaxy s5

I cannot receive or send group texts. is there a suggestion on what the issue might be?

I want to make sure you can take advantage of group messaging, tlavender. Are you using the default application on the device? Are you attempting to initiate group messages from your phone or is a contact adding you to their group message? Does the group message contain more than 5 contacts? If so, are you able to start a group message with 3 members?

Cannot send or receive group text if someone is not on an apple phone

Does anyone else have this problem or have a solution to this issue? Has been like this since I got the phone and Apple says it is Verizon AND Verizon says it is Apple! I cannot send or receive a group text! Help!

i have the same issue with AT&T. My phone receives picture and group texts just fine, but responding to group texts fails.
Disabling MMS allows you to send texts to multiple people at the same time but doesn't set up the group chat environment so that responses can be automatically sent to everyone as well. you end up receiving text responses from each recipient in a separate thread.
AT&T has also stated that it is an iPhone issue, but I have yet to ask apple what they think the problem is. Since the issue sounds identical to KKONO's, I'd assume the response would be that I should speak with AT&T about it. :\
It doesn't really make sense that the carrier would be the one at fault since if MMS were really dysfunctional it would have much more widespread affects than just disabling group chat response. Send/Receive picture text and receive group chat should also be disabled. Since the problem is isolated only to responding to group chat, I'd think it's more likely an issue with apple iOS.
Any thoughts?

Can't send or receive SMS text

Purchased a Curve on Tuesday and simply extended my current plan which includes texting.
My Blackberry tells me I've sent SMS (check mark shows) but no one receives them, and I am not receiving their texts in return.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

I think the fastest way is to contact your carrier hotline.

I have an iPhone 4 and as of lates I can not send or receive any text messages.

For the past week or so my iPhone 4 stopped sending and recieving text messages and imessages. My imessage only works when I am connected to wifi. I have data and unlimited texting on my cell plan. When I am not connected to wifi my phone tell my that my cellualr data is off but when I checked it in the settings, it said it is on. I dont know what to do. I have reset my network settings already. But nothing seems to resolve my problem.
Also, my phone has iOS 7.0.6 if that helps.

Hi VvanZomeren,
To check your warranty status, find your serial number in Settings > General > About > Serial Number. Then enter it at http://selfsolve.apple.com.
Did you try a different computer/outlet as well as different chargers?

Can i send and receive mobile texts with bb bridge?

I would like to know if its possible to use my t-mobile messaging service using the bridge mode through my playbook.
Do I need to download an app from t-mobile? When I open messages, the file is empty, and there is a load of messages on my phone.

There is an app in appworld called sms bridge for playbook. it is used on the phone. it converts to an email and you can reply and it converts back to txt. there is a small fee but works well.

IPhone will not send or receive group messages

I recently got an iPhone because I needed to be able to group text with my boss and coworkers. However, upon getting a brand new iPhone 4s (Verizon) I discovered that my phone still does not send or receive group texts. I have turned on group messaging so I should be receiving them. Any ideas on what is wrong? Is it something I can fix or do I need to go to the Apple store?

Make sure MMS is On in Settings > Messages.
If that doesn't work, take a look at this -> iOS: Troubleshooting Messages

Do I really have to have my LTE/3G data enabled in order to send/receive group text messages???? YES.
If so, that's a complete waste of my data package as far as I'm concerned. ... I'm not sure why I can't send/receive group text messages as plain texts????
Group messages are considered MMS, not SMS. MMS is transmitted over the cellular (data) network. It does NOT use your data plan, it uses your texting allowance. But data DOES need to be enabled to send and receive group and picture texts.

How can you tell who the original sender of a group text is on an iPhone 5, when all that appears is a list of recipients in no particular order

how can you tell who the original sender of a group text is on an iPhone 5, when all that appears is a list of recipients in no particular order? I can't seem to identify the sender in the details list.

Start a separate thread to the original sender.

HT4528 I just bought a new 4s and I can't send or receive texts. Also when anyone calls me it comes up as unknown but I transferred all my contacts. Is this a carrier issue or is this my device?

I just bought a new 4s and I can't send or receive texts. Also when anyone calls it comes up as "unknown" but I transferred all my contacts. Is this a device issue or a carrier problem?? I've tried everything. Reset the network and some a hard reset but no changes.

I believe the root cause is IOS5.01. same problem on my iphone4s with IOS5.01. Now I have a expensive I-touch! wake up steve.............. I suggest you change your sim cark from 64k to 128k. or just waiting next generation IOS.

HT1355 Can you send and receive text messages in airplane mode?

Can you send and receive text messages while in airplane mode?

No. Regular SMS's require a cellular connection. However, iMessage will work in Airplane Mode, as all that requires is an Internet connection. You can turn WiFi back on while in Airplane Mode.

I can't send or receive text messages from non iphone users

Under Settings - Messages, do it state Sens SMS ON? Should be (this applies to imessage but just in case).
Same area, MMS Messaging is on? Should be.
If all else fails, go into Settings General Reset - Reset Network Settings (this will lose WiFi info but fixes a lot of messaging errors).
