Cannot receive texts after new iOS 7 , checked everything help section told me to do!
Messaging to other iPhone users is not working after ios7 upgrade. I receive them on my ipad but not phone. I have a 4s. I have followed all suggested troubleshooting and still not working! Any ideas?
The same issue I had for an iPhone4.
During iOS7 upgrade connection to iCloud was always failing so after many retries I skipped it thinking it can be done later when upgrade has been completed.
But no. I am wrong.
Even connection to apple store is no longer possible after I signed out and tried to sign in again. Getting error about failed to contact server.
I was trying since last night 10 hours ago and trying again now for many times with no success.
Why is that Apple?

Not receiving texts after new update
I've just updated to lollipop on my Xperia Z1 Compact and have just realised no texts are coming in. I've just checked with a friend and they're receiving my texts but not vice versa. I've been using a text messenging app called Textra which is all working fine other than the main issue of not getting text messages.
I've then tried to look at and hopefully use the original default messenger. It doesn't open just has a white screen with 'Messenger' at the top, so it then tells me it's not responding. Hope that's enough information, not sure what to do at the moment.Hi Piersht,
Welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines
You may also want to try some of the basics, such as removing the SIM card from the handset for a short period of time, once done see if messages can be received.

Hi everyone, I just got the new iOS5 update for my iPhone 3GS. I receive a message saying that "Your SMS mailbox is full. New messages cannot be recieved until you delete some messages." I deleted all of my messages but still could not receive texts after restoring and restarting my phone. Can anything be done to remedy this??? Thanks!
Apple is screwing the pooch on this one. Need to call in and be vocal.

Cannot receive text messages after switch from iphone
After more than 2 years on an Android, my family convinced me to try an iPhone. After one week, I decided to return my iPhone and go back to Android. Now I cannot receive text messages from anyone using an iPhone. It thinks I'm still using iMessage.
I have already talked with Verizon customer service and unregistered my number from both Messages and FaceTime via my computer. Please help! This is extremely frustrating!Appreciate the update plurrykid,
Knowing you are starting to receive them is good, but certainly we want you to receive all of them, not just random ones. I know it’s important to get them up and running as soon as possible. It will usually take Apple 24-48 hours to un-register you completely; if it has not been fully done, what you can try is resetting your Apple ID password here http://bit.ly/1kwc2va . Since you will be changing your password and the original device which still has iMessages on, will not be aware of the new password for them, it will revert to text messages. Let us know how it goes.

Traded in my iPhone for a different brand of phone. I had no idea that I had to sign out of iMessage before doing this. Now, my old phone is gone and my new phone cannot receive texts from people who have iphones and had me as a contact before. They try to send an iMessage and I have no way to receive an iMessgae now. On some server somwhere my AppleID still tells people they should send me iMessages. What is the solution to this issue? Deleting my AppleID would work to solve this issue, but I cannot ever delete the ID? What can Apple do for this?
If you did not erase your apps and data before getting rid of your old phone, try using Find My Phone and erasing everything remotely. See if this works.

I cannot receive texts from one contact after updating to the iOS7 system - why?
I cannot receive texts from one contact after updating to the iOS7 system - why?
amyhs, thanks for those details. This is certainly quite odd that this has been going on so long and we definitely want to get to the bottom of this. Now, you stated that you have reached out to technical support and spoke with a tier two technical support representative. At this time, what actions or troubleshooting steps were taken? Are you aware if a ticket with our network technicians was ever created? As well, have you ever previously had an iPhone and are you aware if the users that are unable to message you are using iMessage?

I replaced my iPhone 5 with an LG F6 phone and now I cannot receive text messages from my friends with iPhones. Can somebody please tell me where to go to turn off the "Find your phone" feature and what ever else I need to turn off to accomplish this objective? Thank you.
Isotope JoeFind My iPhone has nothing to do with receiving or not receiving text messages.
What you should have done is turn off iMessage prior to handing over the device.

I cannot receive text messages and cannot use FaceTime since ios7 upgrade
I upgraded to iOS 7 and since I cannot receive text messages or use face time. I have tried to reboot several times and when I try to sign in I keep getting a message to check my network settings. I can receive emails and the phone works.
After going to the Apple Store I found out this a known issue and al I can do is refresh the phone and reinstall my apps or wait till Apple releases another version.

How do i unregister my old Iphone, i no longer have it in my possesion. I now have the galaxy s4 and cannot receive texts from iphone users
Hello AnnH2
If you have access you your old iPhone, just sign out of Messages. If you do not have access to it, then change your Apple ID password.
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538
Unlink a phone number
To remove a phone number from an Apple ID, sign out of FaceTime and Messages on your iPhone:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
This should remove your phone number from other devices using the same Apple ID with FaceTime and Messages. If the phone number is still available on other devices after you sign out of FaceTime and iMessage on the iPhone, you may need to sign out of iMessage and FaceTime on all your devices, then sign in to FaceTime and Messages again on devices you want to use.
Note: If you no longer have access to the iPhone that is using the number you want to remove, reset your Apple ID password.

The device that is using the SMS-capable phone number you provided when you first set up iCloud Keychain. A verification code is sent via SMS to this phone number.
