Cannot send SMS when voice and data enabled on 4G

Iphone 6 on AT&T. When I enable Voice and Data for LTE, I cannot send or receive SMS messages. If I turn off LTE or just enable data over LTE, SMS works.
I have reset the network setting, disabled iMessages and re-enabled, removed SIM car and replaced it, and restarted the phone. I have not restored the phone from scratch though and would like to avoid that.
iMessages works fine.
Any help?

SMS is a carrier feature so, th first thing I would do is contact AT&T. There are a number of other threads in the forum about people have issues with AT&T and Voice over LTE, notably Caller ID.

Cannot send SMS when VoLTE is enabled (iPhone 6 AT&T)

My iPhone 6 on AT&T will not send SMS text messages unless I go to Settings > Cellular > Enable LTE > and change "Voice & Data" to "Data Only". When I have VoLTE enabled I cannot send any SMS. iMessage still works regardless.
I took the phone to AT&T thinking it was a SIM card issue and they told me it was an Apple hardware issue. I took the phone to Apple and they said it was an AT&T network issue.
Anyone else experiencing this bug?

SMS and cellular data is a carrier feature.
Take the phone back to AT&T and talk to someone higher up.

Cannot send mail when out and about

Hey all
I recently got my Iphone4 and synced it to my mail on my computer. When using my iphone at home it send mail without a problems as it goes through my wifi I have. Internet is virgin media and mail is with windows mail by the way incase its important.
When I am out and about I can recieve email without a problem but cannot send anything at all.
What do I need to do so that I can send mail no matter where I am?
Thanks
Ant

It's most likely exactly the same issue. Most ISPs only allow you to use their outgoing email server whilst connected to their internet service.
With a mobile device like an iPhone you won't always be connected to your ISPs internet service. Sometimes it will be your mobile network provider (when on 3G), or on some other WiFi service like a public hotspot in Starbucks or McDonalds.
When you are not connected to your ISPs internet service, you either have to use the SMTP server of the internet provider you are connected to (awkward to keep changing, even if you know it), or you "authenticate" your connection to your ISPs SMTP server (if they allow it) with a username and password so that they can verify it is you who is using their server and not some spammer.
The best way to avoid all this, is to use an email provider that is totally independent of any internet provider and will therefore work from anywhere, regardless of how you are connecting to the internet.
GMail and Apple's own MobileMe offer authenticated SMTP servers that work from anywhere.

Well yes, you probably will have problems with your phone because a 'contract free' phone is NOT the same as a fully unlocked iPhone.
This is a user forum, so nobody here can really help you. As Sprint is your carrier in the US, then you need to contact them first. They are the only ones who can help you.

Why does Verizon hide the fact on their network an iPhone cannot deliver simultaneous voice and data

For me the breaking point was when the local Corporate Store clerk lied to be about their return policy. He even documented the information he gave me and that didn't matter to management or corporate. I made a decision to switch to the iPhone and was specifically told I had 30 days to evaluate weather I could make the transition from android to iOS. If I couldn’t for any reason, I could just return the phone and pay the $35 restocking fee and we were then free to choose from one of the many androids.
After weeks of challenges and countless hours spent with first tier then second tier then a product specialist we all came to the documented conclusion that the iPhone, on Verizons network could not support data and voice at the same time... Every other smart phone on Verizons network could and always has... the IPhone on ATT's network can support both voice and data at once... but Not On Verizons network...
Each tech I spoke with seemed shocked and in utter disbelief that this could be so. They blamed ATT for harboring special privileges hold over from their exclusive relationship with Apple. Which is not true. Then they blamed Apple for delivering handicapped phones to Verizon on purpose. Well, with an Apple Product Manager on the phone listening in on a Verizon Tech giving me this among other excuses why I could not be on the phone and using google at the same time, the Apple Rep finally jumped in and very politely cleared up any miss information the Verizon tier 2 support rep was fumbling out.
So after I had done everything in my power to make the phone work the way I had understood it would. And had every reason to believe it would. As did every Verizon rep I spoke with at first until they did a little research and found Verizon had deliberately been hiding this fact from customers. So I conceded to go back to the Android world for now and let Verizon sort out this glaring deficit hopefully in the near future… Though every support rep concluded that there was no mention of this being fixed or even a problem so not to hold my breath…
I couldn’t have been more shocked or infuriated when I went to exchange the “still in the plastic mint condition iPhone” I was told I had to have brought it back in the first 14 days… I pleaded and argued, even directed the manager to the notes entered in verizon’s own support documentation regarding my case and he said “well I see here where you were told that but that rep was wrong”. That may be so but I based my entire testing and evaluation timeline based on the dates the rep clearly and admittedly told me! The store manager said there was nothing he could do.
Now I mentioned I’m a Network Solutions Provider and being able to be on the phone doing a support call and using my cellular internet at the same time are an absolute must for me to be able to preform my job. Every Verizon smart phone I have ever owned had been able to do this. Now I am told I am STUCK in a two year contract with an inadequate device that I cannot exchange and therefore functionally useless to me.
Verizon corporate nor the store manager cared one bit about my position. They stood behind a little register tape that by signing my credit card receipt I now owed them two more years of my life and now they could care less weather I had a functioning solution or that I had been a loyal customer for over 17 years. Or that I had brought entire small business offices to them for cell services. Just stood there and held a copy of my receipt and said, well you signed it so here is what it will cost ya to get out of it!
He got out a calculator and started running numbers for what I would have to pay to fix this situation… What I would have to pay to even leave Verizon and go get cell service from someone else. It felt dirty … seedy… like being at some 3rd world used car lot where some shyster had gotten someone wrapped up in a contract and now was going to squeeze the life out of a customer even though they couldn’t’ even deliver the service they implied you were going to get in the first place.
In 30 years of being a small business owner I have never encountered an organization that had less integrity or more unscrupulous business practices…
I see post after post of Verizon Customer Support reps answering threads… funny I haven’t found one where a user honestly thanks the rep for actually helping them out……. Please Verizon Customer Support, show me you actually can look at a situation and see an equitable solution where a Customer and the Share Holders can both win…..

Well if this information was as ubiquitous on the web as you suggest, I am puzzled why it took three weeks of troubleshooting with many levels of Verizon support before we collectively concluded this was the situation...
Regarding Reading what I sign... Thanks for that advice though in this situation I was handed a stylus and told to sign a Signature Pad at the check out counter... ONLY AFTER I signed (for the purchase only) was I presented with this return policy conveniently nested in a 3 foot long reciept consisting of paragraphs of Helvitica 6 type set info... I made the assumption that the sales person could correctly answer a direct question regarding the policy I inadvertently signed for when authorizing the credit card charge... Even more concerning is that when by my actions and constant communications with Verizon, my intent was clearly based on the information I had gotten from the sales rep. and if I was given misinformation it would seem Verizon could show some integrity and support the situation with some equitable solution rather than hiding behind contracts collected from sales staff who do not tell customers the truth.....

Do I need to turn off Voice And Data Roaming On My iPhone 5 When I Am In The USA And NOT Travelling?

Also can it stay on if I am traveling just through the USA and not getting near any Borders of the Country?
Thanks in advance.

Cannot SEND SMS messages on 8130

Here's my story:
1. I upgraded to a Blackberry Pearl 8130 in pink earlier this year. My carrier is Verizon.
2. Recently (say a month ago), a friend sent a text message to me from her new phone. I attempted to text her back, but received a big fat red X indicating that my message did not go through. Specifically, when I open my message, the error says, "Mobile equipment status failed."
3. I went to Verizon. They did something where I think they took me off the network and then put me back on. This did nothing. She wanted to do a hard set on the phone, but I had not backed up my data yet.
4. I went home and backed up my data and went back to Verizone about a week later. I spend over an hour in the store. The gentleman that was helping me was on the phone with someone (presumably technical support) to no avail. He was ready to order me a replacement phone, but after further discussion with tech support, they thought there was an issue with the network, not my phone. I went home with a case number.
5. The very next day Verizon called me. They indicated that it wasn't a network issue and that it was my phone. They were going to send me a replacement.
6. I received my replacement phone a couple of days later. I was anxious to get it set up, but the results have been the same. I have not yet returned to Verizon. I thought I'd try here first to see if anyone had any ideas.
The bottom line:
I CAN send/receive e-mails.
I CAN send a MMS message.
I CAN receive SMS messages.
I CANNOT send SMS messages.
Thank you for any advice you may have.
-Sandra
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Two months later and I finally ..yes FINALLY figured out the SMS issue I previously mentioned on my own out of sheer frustration. I have a Pearl 8130. First ..thanks to everyone for the previous suggestions for resolution here on this board, Google and other areas I've searched many times over however ..none of the suggetions or options worked ..ie, battery pull, *228, calling Alltel tech support many times, going to the Alltel store etc.. you name it I tried it. Guess what? And this is for anyone else who may have had the same problem.. sad to say it was a very simple change in the settings that resolved the "X SMS error 0, Message ID 99" response on every single text (sms) I tried to send.
1.) Click the Call Log icon
2.) Select the menu button (immediate right of the track ball)
3.) Select Options - this will give you a list that begins with "General Options" ..etc
From this list..
4.) Select Smart Dialing
From here you will see an option for "Use "1" for National Dialing"
If it on the default setting of "no" change it to "yes"
Save your selection as normal and you should be good to go.
The funny thing in all of this ..I was recently in Southern California (I live in Arizona) and while there I had absolutely no trouble whatsoever sending or receiving. Upon my return to AZ the problem resurfaced and I have to admit that after 7yrs with Alltel (soon to be Verizon) I am truly disappointed with tech support for the very first time. A simple default setting needed to be changed ~sigh~
Hope this works for anyone else who is having issues ..specifically Alltel/Verizon.

Understanding that the iPhone 5 won't support simultaneous voice and data transmissions over Verizon and Sprint LTE networks will it ever be able to support VoLTE (Voice over LTE)?

Understanding that the iPhone 5 won’t support simultaneous voice and data transmissions over Verizon LTE network will it ever be able to support VoLTE (Voice over LTE)? Could Apple add VoLTE support later on? It seems pretty clear the MDM9615 chip supports VoLTE but the baseband software by Apple does not. Could Apple add it to the baseband later on? When will Verizon turn-on/enable VoLTE?
Referral Link: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19614226#19614226

Well in my research Verizon is already testing Voice Over LTE in select markets via a few news releases, and rumor has it that a few smartphones are already VoLTE ready. http://news.verizonwireless.com/news/2011/02/pr2011-02-09f.html

Cannot send SMS with iPhone 5

Hi I have purchased a iPhone 5 from Hong Kong and I am using it in china. All works well except that I cannot send SMS (still can receive them)... I have contacted the apple support but I have no solution till now. I also asked China Unicom for help but they cannot find the problem... More over the activation of message and FaceTime doesn't : I can use iMessage and FaceTime but on settings the activation doesn't work. Did anyone have similar problem and was anyone able to find the good solution ?

Hello, I also have the same problem. My iPhone 5 is a from Hong Kong too! My iMessage doesn't work as well as FaceTime also. It keeps saying waiting for activation. I use china unicom too, tried contacting them but they couldn't solve the issue. But it many cases when I change my SIM card or insert mine to another phone , it suddenly activates. This is really frustrating because I can't check my credit balance at all or send urgent messages to people.
Anyone with a good suggestion?

CANNOT send SMS messages with ADDRESS BOOK on POWERBOOK using iPHONE

I cannot send SMS messages with my address book or dial phone numbers using my Powerbook via the iPHONE.
Previously, with my Sony Ericson phone, I could do both. It's very useful, when you are at your laptop, to use your computer keyboard to send SMS text messages back and forth rather than using the clumsy small keys on a phone.
Can someone help?
Is there something I am missing?

You are not missing something here and no one here can help you. This is not an included Bluetooth profile with the iPhone at the present time anyway.
If you purchased your iPhone within the last 14 days, you can return it for credit less a 10% restocking fee and if not, here is Apple's feedback link for the iPhone.

Sending as SMS to a non-iOS phone is enabled by default as long as SMS is provisioned by your carrier.
Settings > Messages > Send as SMS > ON is required if you want to SMS to an iOS device which has iMessage enabled but fails to connect.
Settings > Messages > Show Subject Field > irrelevant to whether SMS or iMessage is used, ony if you want a subject field sent with the message.
