Cannot Receive SMS Text Messages

I have a Blackberry 8800 on O2 network in UK. I can make and receive voice 'phone calls, send and receive emails and send SMS text mesages BUT cannot receive text messages. When I put my SIM card into another mobile the text messages come through okay. My SIM is not out of space while the "status" in Options/Security/Firewall is set to disabled so is not blocking messages. Any ideas?

I am/was experiencing the same kind of thing. I am in San Antonio, TX and this morning at school my friend (Sprint Customer) said that she had tried to Text me twice this morning. We then tested our phones and saw that she could receive mine but I could not receive hers. Then an AT&T friend of mine sent me a message and I discovered that we can have a conversations just fine.
Then later, after I tried another failed attempt at messaging the friend mentioned previously, I asked another freind (Yet another sprint customer) to text me and we had the same result. Then when he called me to see if i could receive calls I got his last text and many other texts from other people. The problem now is that I still do not reciece all text messages AND the ones I do get come multiple times (I am currently at 5 and counting).
If you find any solutions please let me know

  • 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.

  • I cannot send or receive SMS text messages and my number is not showing up in the 'Recieve At' location..how do I fix this?

    I just bought and activated a new Iphone 4s and I cannot send or receive normal SMS text messages. Also, my number is not showing up in the "receive at" location. Any help??

    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    Beyond that... since you state you've tried all "recommended fixes" have you actually restored as new and not from your backup?

  • Only one of my contacts cannot receive my text messages, why?

    For the past week, my boyfriend has not been able to receive any of my text messages. He has a samsung s3 and I have an iPhone 4s. We both can call each other and my texts to him say that they are sent. I have called both my provider and Apple and the issue still hasn't been resolved. He also has an iPad which we iMessage off of sometimes, not sure if this has anything to do with it or not. This really is frustrating since it is only one contact, and both my provider and Apple also thought this was a weird situation...

    Hello j0970
    When looking at your messages that you send him, are they green or blue? Green will mean that it is a SMS that is done by your carrier and if it blue then it is using iMessage service to send the message and they would be going to the iPad even if it does not have access to the internet. He may want to unlink his phone number to it and just use iMessage just through his email address.

  • IMessages not accepting SMS text message since an update

    I upgraded to the latest version of Yosemite, 10.10.2 and ever since then my imessages account has stopped sending/receiving SMS text messages and shows them as pink/red

    Hi,
    Have you tried resetting the option of the iPhone so it causes a New code number to appear on the Mac ?
    Repeat the setting if you don't see a code number straight away.

  • Can Messages beta send sms text messages?

    I have the Messages beta installed and it's working great between mine and my wifes IOS devices, and Macs.  But when I try to send an sms message to someone with a non-smart phone on the verizon network, I receive a message that they're not available.  Here are some of the fomats I've tried

    Is it possible to send and receive sms text messages from my Mac?

    I actually forgot to mention that bit, as I always turn on the instant messaging field by default in my template settings. For those that don't know how to do this, just open the address book preferences (Command + Comma) or from the Address Book menu, select Preferences, go to the Template tab, click the 'Add Field' drop down, and select "instant messaging'. I did define those SMS numbers as "AIM" for the 'type'.
    Not really keen on the idea that I have to leave my AIM account logged in as I rarely use it these days, but I haven't found a way to work around that yet.

  • Can receive sms texts but not read them

    Hi!
    my blackberry curve is currently receiving sms text messages, but they only show up as an icon at the top of the main menu, i can't actually see them or even open them. i do not have this problem with mms or email. i also can't see texts when i go to the specific 'sms' inbox. i know i'm receiving them because friends have asked why i haven't responded. but it's like they're lost to some black hole in my phone. 
    things i've tried:
    i've tried rebooting the phone, at which point i've gotten the "uncaught exception: java.lang.ClassCastException" error. 
    also, my phone is saying "attempting to open a secure server connection but the server's certificate is not trusted." sometimes i can just click close connection and get through to the phone but other times i can't. 
    i've tried rebooting the phone (taking the battery out), changing my themes settings to default (and using a default blackberry theme) and deleting all messages from my phone. 
    nothing seems to be working -- what can I do to read text messages again??

    Hey mmgiiirl,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
    This may be an issue with your SMS database. Try clearing your SMS database then test with new messages:

  • 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.

    I cannot send or receive group text messages and picture messages / MMS.  The settings on Messages are already set to receive group texts but it does not help. What should I do?

        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?

  • Cannot send or receive some text messages

    I just got the iphone 4s, and am having problems sending and receiving some text messages, it is saying "Message Send Failure"

    Same problem persists also here. Have crosschecked with friend, all same settings, have deleted the contacted, created again, still that number does not receive my SMS (no question on iMessage). Can not even reply her message. This problem persists with few numbers, nothing common, different phones, different countries, different operators. All others, with different operators, in different coutries receive my messages. Even other people can send their SMS to her.

    iOS 5 handles texts differently than previous versions.  Resetting the network connections helps, but that didn't seem to solve your problem, and neitherdid the simple reset. 
    Try deleting old messages from the messages app, then after clearing up a lot, just do a simple restart of your phone.  If you want to be extra sure, try resetting your network connections again.  I had this same problem.  Your last option would be a complete restore of the phone, but I don't think we'll have to go that far. 

  • E63-1, Cannot Add recipient to SMS/Text message

    I am unable to add recipients to my sms/text messages, was advised by Nokia help centre to backup and download new software, that has been done , but the problem persists.
    Need help in resolution.
    SSH

    I guess you mean you are not able to see the "OK" button when you go on to select the contact to send message to.If that is the case you might have got blank contacts in you contact list.Follow the below process:
    Following the below steps and it will be fixed( a bit lengthy procedure but it will work):
    1)Using the "mark all" feature mark all contacts, in this the blank ones will get selected too,unselect them one by one,so now you should have only the non blank contacts marked.
    2)Copy these to the memory card and if you are prompted with deleting the contacts you have on memory card already, then do so ,as we need to have only the non blank marked contacts copy to restore from the memory card.
    3)now comes the tricky part as you wont be able to delete all contacts from the phone because of the blank ones.
    so we will need to format the phone.but before that keep in mind that we need to have another backup medium preferably nokia pc suite to backup the rest of the data except contacts as contacts we will get back from memory card  later.So backup your phone using nokia pc suite on a computer using data cable but remember to NOT SELECT contacts while backing up.
    4) now hard format your phone.For that :
    a)switch off your phone.
    b) switch it on keeping the green dial key,(*) key and the (3 ) key pressed together till you see the nokia screensaver.
    c) this will format your phone(not memory card).
    5)now u will see there will be no contacts, so restore contacts from memory card.you can check the problem will be fixed now as you can select contact now and forward send messages etc.
    6)Last for the rest of the data restore it using nokia pc suite, as you already did not select contact while backing up,so it shud not matter if u select it or not while restoring,but for precaution dont select contacts while restoring from your backup.
    You are done!

  • Can't receive normal text messages after updating to iOS5, only iMessages

    Over the summer I bought iOS5 from a developer and had it on my phone for about a month until it crashed and I had to restore from a backup. So I put iOS5 back on my phone, and it crashed it again. I decided to wait until yesterday to put it back on, because it was legit and through Apple. Now I can't receive normal text messages from non-iPhone users. I'm only receiving iMessages. The only way to fix it is to turn off iMessage, but that's one of the main features of the update. Help?

    i may put my iphone in the toaster tonight i am so $%#@!*^ frustrated.
    i have an iphone 4 which i upgraded to ios5 about 4 days ago. yesterday, i realized i wasn't able to receive any text messages, but was (and am still getting imessages), along with the ever-so-vague 'sms mailbox is full, delete some text messages' alert.
    so i came to the internet to find out about the supposed 15mb (75k*) limit. Apple's solution on their own site was 'hey, crazy hoarder, why don't you delete some texts?? there you go, EASY PEAZY!' except that didn't work...for me, and a ton of other people apparently.
    i came down from 76something to around 67k.
    I hard restarted, i ignored it, i deleted more texts, i bought phoneview, i deleted MORE texts, more restarts, NOTHING. it has now been 48 hours with no texts. NEED I ASSURE YOU THAT I AM A VERY IMPORTANT PERSON (as we all are).
    so i backed up my phone (again, as i did before the upgrade), and restored it to factory nothingness. restart. restart. stare blankly. no texts.
    then, i go to restore from backup (via itunes) so i can at least get all my contacts and whatnot back. lo and behold, my backup is gone. only the option to set up my 'new' iphone. i delay utter panic for a brief second and silently pray to the angel steve, sitting upon his giant white icloud, remembering that i actually paid for extra icloud space and backed up to that as well.
    now i'm just waiting for it to restore AT LEAST my contacts, which it now seems to have done by the time i've typed this. PARTIAL crisis averted.
    alas, i STILL am not getting any text messages. it seems that calling apple does nothing since apparently no one was told about this and/or how to fix this. i cannot receive text messages from my boyfriend, my parents, my colleagues who all are iphoneless and better off than me at this point.
    i am leaving for a business trip in 12 hours. i'd like to figure this out before i put this thing in the garbage disposal or violently smash and use it's parts as confetti. although by the time i do, i will probably have lost all my friends and been disowned by my family for ignoring their jokes / emoticons / cries for help.
    i fear apple has become a sentient being, and this is it's way of forcing all people of earth to use iphones...for there will be no other way to communicate with each other once we evolve and are all born with giant thumbs instead of vocal chords...hold me im scared...
    it's so dark here...

  • HT3529 I'm sending an iMessage from my iPhone to another iPhone but the recipient phone does not receive message because not on wifi. Why does recipient iPhone not automatically receive in text messaging?

    I'm sending an iMessage from my iPhone to another iPhone but the recipient phone does not receive message because not on wifi. Why does recipient iPhone not automatically receive in text messaging?

    Wi-Fi is not required for iMessage. Internet access is required for iMessage which includes when the iPhone is connected to the cellular network.
    If an iMessage cannot be sent, it will fail to send and you will be prompted to send as an SMS if text only.
