Cannot send or receive new texts

Having trouble sending and receiving text messages. My messages or going to my email and when I try sending I get an exlamation in a red circle with "not delivered" in red under the messages. Can anyone help?

Hi Ewan, Is it a contract you have been moved to? What happens when you try to make a call? I recently had a new contract and due to having bad credit history I had a deposit of £100 placed on my account which blocked me from making any calls or texts. The deposit is something you get back after 6 months either off your bill or paid back to you on the condition you pay your bills on time and in full.

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?

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?

Cannot send or receive sms text or phone calls

I have a storm2 9550 unlocked and am using Tmobile Pay as you go. I have tried several times to disable the password, mostly by wiping the phone. Now i cannot make a call or receive a call or send or receive a text. On the phone calls I get a busy signal and an error message SMS error 97 message ID 40. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello dbond,
To correct this issue you would need to remove the IT policy from your BlackBerry smartphone.
To do this we would need to back up the BlackBerry smartphone. Please open the BlackBerry Desktop Manager and connect your BlackBerry smartphone. Click on the Backup and Restore button and select Back Up. Please note the location where the backup is being saved as we will need to access it later to restore the BlackBerry smartphone.
Once you have backed up your BlackBerry smartphone please follow the link below to remove the IT policy from your BlackBerry smartphone

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?

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.

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you'd like to set up your iOS devices for SMS using Continuity, please see the information outlined below.
SMS
With Continuity, all the SMS and MMS text messages you send and receive on your iPhone also appear on your Mac, iPad, and iPod touch. Even if the person you’re communicating with doesn’t have an iPhone. And regardless of what phone they have, you can reply from whichever device is closest to you, including your iPad or Mac. You can also initiate a conversation by clicking a phone number in Safari, Contacts, or Calendar.
To use Continuity for SMS and MMS with your iPhone and your Mac, iPad or iPod touch
Your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch need to use iOS 8.1, and your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.

On your iPhone:
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By, and add a check to both your phone number and email address.
Go to Messages > Text Message Forwarding, and enable the device(s) you would like to forward messages to.
Your Mac, iPad, or iPod touch will display a code. Enter this code on your iPhone to verify the SMS feature.

I cannot send nor receive emails. The message I get is that I need to type in my account password which I've done but still unable to send or receive. I get texts fine

My Iphone 4 is new, and I have been able to send and receive texts, but cannot send nor receive emails. I get the message that I need to input my password for my yahoo account which I've done many times. When I type messagefor outgoing it only allows me to save as a draft. Any ideas?

Are you positive you're typing the correct password in? You might want to try and reset your password, and try again. You'll get texts because it isn't connected to your email account.

Cannot send or receive text -1 message

Has anyone else received this message? I cannot send or receive text messages! Help!

Here's what I figured out. My last iTunes backup was in some way corrupted. I had my carrier back up my contacts on an additional SIM card. I then reset up phone to factory setting with the original sim card in the phone. Once rest, I took out the sim card and replaced with my contacts sim card and imported contacts. Once uploaded, I then switched back to the original sim card. From there I plugged into iTunes and treated my phone as a new phone. I was then able to add in all my apps, music, etc. Lost all my settings, but I can now text without any issues.

Cannot send or receive text messages on Pantech Breakout

I cannot send or receive text messages on my pantech breakout. Anyone know the solution

There could be many reasons - and you've given us no clues. Let me ask you some questions that may help us find a solution:
Is this a new phone, or a new account?
Did you recently port your number to Verizon from another carrier?
Did you recently change your plan?
Have you been able to send and receive text messages, with this phone or another Verizon phone?
A few background details will help.

Iphone 4 cannot send or receive text message

I just got my iphone 4 yeaterday. Everything works fine except for the text messages. I can make and receive call, but cannot send or receive text messages. Does anyone have this problam?
After I hit "send", it sounds message sent successfully, but my friend did not get it. Also I asked my friend to send one to me, nothing!

it's a software issue... a lot of customers are having all kinds of issues with their new iPhone 4. But, don't be dismayed, there may be a way to fix it.
some ideas is trying going to settings -> general -> rest -> then tap on "Rest Network Settings". This will then rest all the of network settings, and hopefully fix transmitting and recieving issues that you may have with your iPhone.

Cannot send or receive text messges

I just activated a new plan with unlimited texting but I cannot send or receive texts....any ideas?

If you just ported your number over from a different carrier, sometimes it takes a while for all features to activate (though I would hope by now that this is no longer an issue).
