Cannot recieve text SMS from AT&T

I have a 5s, and I'm brand new to Verizon. I cannot receive "text" messages from anyone on AT&T. iMessage works just fine. Has anyone had this problem and how can it be fixed?

When you say "brand new" to Verizon, do you mean you recently ported your number from another carrier?  It can sometimes take a few days for the number and services to fully integrate and work properly.
You can try removing and reinserting the SIM to see if it reconnecting to the network speeds things along.
You can also call customer service (*611 from your phone, or 800-922-0204 from any phone) and have them check the SMS message provisioning for your line to ensure it is set up properly.  Is everything else working (voicemail?  MMS? Internet?  Calls?)

    You can try the following on your friends phone:
    1.  Remove the contact card
    2. Then turn off iMessage and then back on again
    3. Go to Messages and compose a new message
    4. Press +.  This will make a list of recent contacts pop up.
    5. Click on the info button number of the contact you are trying to reach.
    6. Remove from Recents
    7. Try to compose another message
    8.  If the message attempts to send as blue (imessage), press on the message.
    9 Option to send as SMS will appear (as long as they have SMS turned on.
    10. Repeat and rinse.
    11. Messages will start changing over to all SMS as the user will show as non-imessage user.
    Hope this helps

    I dont have my old number anymore and iMessage is still registered on the old number(it's in light grey fonts)I cannot choose or delete this number. Also I cannot recieve text on this number because it doesnt exist anymore.

    You should contact Apple support and ask them to deregister iMessage for the old number.

  • While I was talking via land line to land line with a friend they recieved text message from my iphone that I did not send. How is that possible?

    I repeat.  While I was talking via land line to land line with a friend they began recieving text messages from my Iphone that I did not send.  I am in the middle east and I was calling a land line in Mexico but that should not have mattered.  Moreover, the person I was speaking to told me they had gotten other text messages from me that know I never sent.   I called my phone company (AT&T) and was told the problem was not with the system but with my Iphone.  They suggested someone was using app that mimicked my phone number.   Is such a think possible? 

    In addition to my iphone I have an itouch.  I only just today created an appleID so that I could use this message board so it seems unlikely that the problem is the result of a misused ID

    I switched from an iPhone to an android and cannot receive text messages from iPhone users. Any solutions?

    Call AppleCare and ask them to deactivate iMessage. It might take awhile to become effective.

  • Switched ot andriod now cannot recieve text from iphones users what should i do

    i cannot recieve test from iphone users it still tries to send as a imessage from there phone even tho i no longer have iphone

    The problem may be that on the other users phones if your contact is associated with an email address that could have been used for iMessage, that that is what it's trying to send to.
    If that's not the case I'm not exactly sure.  They may also try erasing your contact and putting it back in their phone.  That way it would be a new contact unassociated with an iPhone.
    Other then that, you may cosult some Android forums...

  • I cannot recieve text from other ipone users

    I can send and receive text messages from non-iphone users.  I can send messages, but do not receive texts from other iphone users.

        Hi Sandy_C!
    Let's get those messages up and running! When did this begin and how long have you had your iPhone? Are you using Wifi or the VZW network? Have you tested while using both?
    Thanks,

  • Why can't I recieve text messages from an iphone while I'm on a phone call

    When I'm on a phone call on my IPhone5s I can not receive text message from other IPhones. Why is this and is there a way that I can fix it. Nor can I send I messages or picture text.

    That is a limitation of 4g networks, you cannot use data and talk at the same time except for few networks (I think AT&T)
    Unless you have the new iPhone 6, which supports enhanced LTE which will allow talk and data over 4g networks.
    This problem exists with many other phones as well by the way.

  • Cannot Recieve Text

    I cannot recieve any text i tells anyone that trys to text me that im blocked or something and i dont have any blocks on my account.

    TimmsFamily,
    Here is another idea.  It is based on the idea that you may have a BAD text message blocking incoming messages.
    Go to Settings>Applications>Running Services>ALL (tab at top of screen) and scroll down to SMSIMSSettings.  First CLEAR the Cache and then CLEAR the Data.  BTW, clearing the data should clear all your text messages.
    Now get someone to send you a text message or send one to yourself.
    This is a photo of my SMSIMSSettings.  Notice that both the Cache and the Data are empty.
    Please tell me if this fixes your problem...Thanks and best regards,
    JerryF

    Could be one of several reasons. What happens when you try? What error message do you see?
    Is SMS supported in your carriers plan?
    Do you have messaging turned on is Settings?
    To you have the correct number selected in Settings > Messages > Send and Receive From?
