Can't send texts!! PLEASE help!

i got my iPhone 3G at about 8:30 this morning, and did'nt have any noticable problems. My screen wasn't yellow-tinted, like some people are complaining of, and the 3G network was up and working. But about 2 hours later i started texting people and within a few minuted of sending a text i would get one back statig that an error occured and to resend "using a 10-digit mobile phone number". so i added an area code to all my numbers and tried again. No luck. Ive tried texting and its very random; some people get them, some don't.
will someone please tell me what's going on and what i can do to solve this??

This happened to me although I could text one friend and they answered-but, no one in my family (on family plan) and they got no texts as soon as i turned on the phone.
I went to AT&T and they texted my iPhone and I answered and thought they had fixed it. still didn't work with family, returned and said--> it is an AT&T issue-->they went into my plan and it turned out that someone had "accidentally tuned off my text plan" although they said it was not done by the guy who activated my iPhone (happened at same time, but, whatever)
So, call or go to AT&T and have them go into your account and see if your text plan is turned on.
hope it works! mine works perfect now.

  • IChat can't send file, please help

    After updating to OSX 10.4.4 my iChat cannot send any file, but it allows me to receive it. When I try to send the message to another person, it shows that it is waiting for me to start and in a couple seconds later I would get an error message stating that the other person did not accepth the file.
    I have seen these problem around the forum, but yet any of them have been answer.
    Is it the new 10.4.4 that is causing it? Anyone with solution please help.
    P.S. I also tried open port 5190, but it is not working.

    Hi APT015,
    Ok.
    Most Connection devices come, as default, with DHCP turned on.
    This means the device (Linksys and Airports) are their own server giving out Addresses dynamically to your Local Network.
    As by default most devices have port 1-1024 open and not part of any methods to open them you tend to be able to add a whole bunch of DHCP server together and applications that use ports below the 1024 threshold can work (web browsing, Mail, FTP to upload Web pages to a server or download files)
    Having IP given out by different devices creates Subnets on your LAN.
    Because of the way routers in particular handle IP addresses given out by previuos devices your computer can recieve more than one IP address on the LAN (Although only one can be seen on the Mac)
    Pause.
    So you have several things to deal with here.
    1) The Mac Firewall if it is On.
    2) The DHCP serving on your Network.
    3) The way the method you use of Opening the ports in one device effects the result of opening the ports on the other device.
    To Solve 1) look at the table on this page
    Also look at the instructions and Pics of the Firewall on this one
    To solve 2) do this:
    Open Airport Admin Utility found in Application/Utlities
    Log on to the Airport
    Go to the NEtwork tab
    Deselect "Distributing Addresses"
    Apply cahnges
    As this also turns of NAT in the Airport it adds to solving 3)
    For Finishing 3) completely do this:
    Type 192.168.1.1 in to your web browser like a page address
    Type Admin for both User ID and Password.
    Go to the Adminsrtaion tab
    Enable UPnP
    Save Settings.
    For other people following this go to http://portforward.com/routers.htm and follow the links to iChat and the Pics and Instructions for your modem.
    You should use this site to see if the Pics show where the UPnP is if your Modem has it, not to mention finding out the default IP address of the modem and the default User ID and Passwords.
    What this achieves is the modem is still doing DHCP to your Network. It is opening the ports by UPnP. The Airport is now basically a wireless access point. The Airport and computer now have IP addresses from the Modem only.

  • A previous and unrelated text always appears when I need to send a new text. This prevents forwarding texts also, which I need to do all the time for my business. How can I fix? Please help!

    Hi,
    This sounds like it is about Window positions.
    iChat has Default places for Incoming Invites.
    Video is always top Center of your Screen
    Audio and Text chats are Upper right with the Audio slightly lower than Text Chats.
    Secondary invites are sort of Stacked like when you open multiple files from the same App.
    Your outgoing Windows are "Remembered" as to where the last one was when you used it.
    This can be an issue if you use your Mac with a second display and turn Off Mirroring.
    You windows can get "left" on the other screen.
    Go to System Preferences > Displays and turn On Mirroring and the windows should come back to one Screen/display.
    If this does not help go to your Home Folder/Library/Preferences and delete (Drag to Trash) com.apple.ichat.plist and restart iChat.
    Unfortunately you will need to reset any iChat Preferences you have changed from defaults.

    Hi there
    I’d be happy to help with this messaging error! This will be due to the device storing the number incorrectly. Please do the following to resolve the issue:
    Delete texts from both old number and new
    Delete any call logs including these numbers
    Delete old number from contacts
    Delete new number from contacts
    Restart device
    Send text to the new number directly (do not save as contact)
    Once the text sends successfully, you can then save as a new contact
    I hope this helps!

  • The little 'E' that was next to my signal bars has dissapeared and now i can't send texts, make calls or go on the internet.HELP!

    The little 'E' that was next to my signal bars has dissapeared and now i can't send texts, make calls or go on the internet. WHY? HELP!

    As suggested make sure "cellular data" is ON and you have valid cellular data plan.
    That "E" sign only shows the network (Edge) or 3G (if you are in the 3G network), but it has no relation to you not been able to make regular calls or sending regular texts with network signal (in the form of bars) being present.
    Double check if you have credit in your phone (in case of pre-paid) or if you have reached your limit (in case of post-paid)

  • I can't send texts to India, all other countries OK, not SIM fault?

    My iphone 3gs was sending texts to India up until about May and then the messages were not getting through but I was still charged for them.  Vodafone sent me a new SIM but it still didn't work, so they put my SIM in another phone and the text got through to India. I can call India (same number) without a problem.  I can also send texts to Male in th Maldives just it seems not to India (three separate contacts).  Can anyone help please?

    I've just realised, further to my earlier question - that the people I am trying to text do not have Iphones? Could this make a difference? (Although I have text them in the past)

    I've been having trouble sending a message to an internaional number on my Iphone 4S IOS 5.0.0. I can call this person, and receive texts from this person, but i'm not able to send.

  • Can't Send Texts

    I upgraded to this phone just before Christmas. It worked great until about two weeks ago - about a week after I got it. I can't send texts!  I've tried while out in a 4LTE signal, 3G signal and we have a network extender at home and it won't work on any of them. Just immediately failed. I had a Droid X before and my daughter and husband have the X still and have NO issues. I don't get it. What the heck is going on? How do I fix this??  This is a major issue and if I can't find a resolution soon I'll be forced to go back to the Droid X. I need to have texting ability. Keep in mind: I receive texts just fine. I can receive/make calls with NO issues. It's only for me sending a text and it doesn't matter to who it is, or what signal I have (even full 4LTE results in fails constantly). Any help?

    I thank you great for your reply. I had decided to use the chat option when I found it through your site. I chatted with a Carlos and he was wonderful. It was something in the network, I guess, and once he reset it, it has been working perfect since. I’m very very happy with it.
    Thank you so much, again.

  • Can't send text

    could someone help me with my problem, I can't send text message, please

    Do you have Messages 'on'  Settings>Messages slide to right and should be green.  Also you should have SMS 'On', MMS 'On'  Send and Receive should have your correct number and email address if you want with a check mark to their left.  You may want Group Messages set 'On'.

  • I have moved from uk to Ireland and changed my mobile provider, but I can't send texts to uk numbers.  My service provider say it is an I phone problem, not a service provider problem.

    I have moved from uk to Ireland and had to change my service provider, but despite 3 calls to my service provider I can't send texts to the uk. They have checked it out by my using a different SIM card, but I still cannot send texts. They say it is problem with my iPhone 4's settings and told me to contact apple. Can anyone help me?

    If you can find out what country your iPhone was officially sold in, you could take it there (or if originally sold in the EU, take it to any EU country where Apple officially sells the iPhone) or you could send the iPhone to someone you know in that country who could get it serviced and then ship it back to you. Apple Support does not accept shipments from other countries, and will not ship a serviced iPhone to another country.
    This, though, presumes that the iPhone has not been modified as your service provider claimed. If it has, Apple will not provide service for it in any country.
    You may be able to find out what country your iPhone was officially sold in by calling Apple Support:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    and giving them the serial number.
    Regards.

  • Nokia X3-02 can't send text message to only one of...

    i can't send text message to only one of my contacts... what happen? what should i do? help me pls... tnx...

    Hi,
    You can send the other contacts SMS but not only one contact, Right?
    Then the issue is with your contact, maybe the number is not right or not the right format.
    So check your contact  number with number which you can send SMS.
    Maybe it is best to delete that contact and create new contact which the format is the same with the others.
    I hoe this helps.
