Cannot send / receive text messages
I have the LG EnV Touch. I do not have a text message plan whatsoever, but I occasionally text friends once in a while. About last week texting was fine, but these past 2 days, everytime I send a text it immediently says "Send failed. Would you like to retry?" and "Message is not delivered. Service is unavailable." I tried *228 numerous times. I restarted my phone and took out the battery. Please help!!
Did you recently port over your number from another carrier? Have you dialed *228, option 1 to reprogram the phone to the Verizon Wireless network? If this hasn't worked call customer service and verify there isn't a texting block on your line and have them reset the feature on their end.

I am not able to send/receive text message on my N...
Hello:
I bought a Nokia 5800 in India last summer. I used a local SIM card (Airtel) when I was there. I was able to send/receive text messages when I was in India.
I came back to Chicago and replaced the Airtel SIM card on my 5800 with my AT&T sim card. I have a pay-as-you-go service with AT&T. I had used a Sony-Ericsson Z300a phone with my AT&T service before I bought my 5800. I did not have any problems sending/receiving text messages with the Sony-Ericsson phone using my AT&T SIM card.
I don't have any problems using my 5800 with my AT&T SIM card for calling or sending/receiving multimedia messages. I just cannot send or receive any text messages. I have checked the message center number setting on my 5800 and it appears to be correct. I have also done a hardware reset of the 5800 and the problem remains.
Any clues?Hello parsar. Even if you have the correct Message Center number there, it's worth a try to delete the existing one and enter the correct one afresh. Make sure you have the latest firmware on your phone, and that there are no applications that may interfere with sending/receiving sms, like some filtering software.
Hope this helps
And, pakiboy, resetting to factory settings (by typing *#7780#) will NOT delete anything in the phone memory.

I cannot send out text messages
I cannot send out text messages - I can receive them - cannot send them to a contact.
This contact has a multiple contacts ranging from gmail to facebook. I deleted all the contacts and now the contact can receive my text messages.
I noticed a small x in a circle to the right of the contact's name. A red x in a circle would appear and say my text messages not sent. I would resend - nothing changed.
Does anyone know why this happens and how I can fix the contact so I can text without getting these messages.
The contact is not blocking me by the way - it is my spouse LOL
Thank youThanks to draya06 for your response.
Please try deleting all text messages from this person and resend. Do you have a signature on your outgoing text messages? If so please remove the signature and retry. If these don't work please PM me and we will further troubleshoot this issue.
Thank you -
I recently switched from my iphone to a samsung Galaxy S4, trading in my iphone. I now can not send/receive text messages from any iphones to my galaxy S4. Since I traded the iphone in, I can't access it to make any changes. Any ideas?

Since last weekend (3-15-15) I have been unable to send/receive text messages with a friend who has Sprint service. The messages send with no errors on either side, but neither side is receiving the messages. It seems to be only this one person affected by this issue, everyone else that I've tried sending messages to has responded with no trouble. Is anyone else having any similar issues?
Retrohacker, Your text messages are too important to be missed! Let's figure this out, together. Are you able to successfully make and receive calls from your friend? Which phone do you have with us? Any new messaging applications or changes that you can recall on the phone since this issue began? Please share details so we can get to the bottom of this for you.

I cannot send a text message to anyone with an android phone. Any suggestions?
I just got an iphone. I cannot send a text message to anyone with an android phone. I have tried turning imessage off and also wifi off. Any other suggestions? Most of my family including my husband currently have android phones and I need to be able to talk to them. I can send messages to iphones and ipads but not their phones. What can I do??
I don't see the "Start new conversation from:" I spent 1 hour and 40 minutes last night on the phone with Verizon. We completely reset the phone after backing it up to icloud. His conclusion was I need a new SIM card and I will not be able to go take care of that until tonight. I don't know if that will fix it or not but that is what he said...

Iphone 4s wont send/receive text messages.
my iphone 4s isnt sending/receiving text messages. when i try to open messages it just says "messages" at the top and then it is a blank page underneath. all of my previous texts were also erased. i updated to IOS 8 2 days ago but the problem just started today.
detti,
Text messages are a vital part of a working phone. We encourage you to reset your device. Please back everything up via iTunes or iCloud. Then go to Settings/General/Reset/Erase All Content and Settings. This will reset the phone and correct anything that maybe causing the issue.

Please help! I can't send a text message to one specific friend of mine when he has iMessage turned off. I can receive his texts, but he never receives mine. Both are iPhones, obviously, different carriers which shouldn't matter. Neither of us got new phones. MMS is on. All if a sudden it just happened. No major changes other than him turning iMessage off, due to a nosy brother who shares his iPad. What am I missing??
I do have SMS on. What else could it possibly be?

I have spent hours on the phone with Apple and AT&T. I went thought reset, on/off, etc, etc with both companies to no avail. Each company pointed fingers at the other....as being the source of the problem.
Problems: Suddenly ALL incoming calls were going directly to VM with no signal I missed calls and/or had VM. I was also unable to receive all Text Messages...Oddly, I could send text messages to anyone (even non-apple users but I could not receive their responses)........then I when I got home I started receiving text messages from other apples users ONLY. I assume now - iMessage kicked in and I could text (send/receive) other iPhone/iPad/iTouch users ONLY. ....yes, I could still (send) text messages to my husband's blackberry (he received my messages fine) but my phone would NOT receive his text respones.
Finally, I googled the problem and found this community where other people have had the exact same problems! One person said he "turned off 3 G" which was the solution for him....so I did the same and VIOLA! My problem solved! Nevermind the fact that I pay for 3G and cannot use it....so here's my question, if 3G is the problem on my phone is this an APPLE issue or a NETWORK problem? Do I purchase a new phone and slip in my same SIM card and hope the same does not occur or do I get a whole new SIM card and phone? What is the long term resolution to this problem?
I am happy however to find that my problem is NOT an isolated incident and wish Apple or AT&T had told me this is not so uncommon because I thought (based on the baffled response from Apple) that this has never occurred before. Where is Steve Jobs when we need him?jsavage9621,
It pains me to hear about your experience with the Home Phone Connect. This device usually works seamlessly and is a great alternative to a landline phone. It sounds like we've done our fair share of work on your account here. I'm going to go ahead and send you a Private Message so that we can access your account and review any open tickets for you. I look forward to speaking with you.

Log into your iTunes account and disassociate or delete the iPhone 4 from your account.
Contact all your friends who may be using iMessage to try and communicate with you, and have them remove you from their iMessage account, and send you standard text messages (to your 10 digit phone number).
Call Verizon (800-922-0204, or *611 from your cell phone) and make sure that text messaging is provisioned properly on your account, and that you don't have messaging blocked. -
My iPhone 5 storage is almost full. My calendar is scrambled. I cannot receive text messages or voice mail. Gmail and safari blinks out. The phone will not allow me to delete information. Should I try to back up to my laptop before going to the Genius Bar?
Unless you have recently restored the device from a backup it might be best, if possible, to try to back up to a different computer, otherwise yes backup anyway. There is normally only one rolling backup for each device until the backup is used to restore. Backing up to multiple machines would give you a chance to restore the current state, or your most recent backup if that fails.

Why am I having trouble sending/receiving text messages to a blackberry phone?
what can I do to enable my iphone 4 will not send or receive text messages from non-iphone users.
It sounds as if you don't have SMS enabled on your account. Contact your carrier. They should be able to add that.

Cannot send group texts/messages or voice texts.
I just bought my iPhone 6 Plus on December 27. Starting today for some reason, I cannot send group texts (iMessages or SMS texts) or voice texts. Please advise.
This doesn't really help me as much; I know how to send texts, and I am able to do so to individuals. It's just that I can't get group texts to go through. I have service and am sending to both iPhone users and non-iPhone users. Interestingly enough, a moment ago a particularly long text I tried to send to an individual non-iPhone user was not delivered. Does anyone know if there is some lingering issue with messaging on the iPhone 6 Plus? I have the latest iOS software update.

Looked at other forums, updated flash. Not sure if this is a bug or if something got corrupted. There are other answers suggesting profiles, extensions, add-ons. Honestly I'm a bit lost.
