Cannot send text message or iMessage?

I recently upgraded to iOS7 (like everyone else) and today cannot send text messages or iMessage. I can make phone calls and use other internet services. Any ideas?

    Hi shelmig1!
Sorry to learn of any issues since upgrading to iOS7. Let's try some troubleshooting! Do you find that this issue is only for other iPhone users, or does it happen with all messages? Are you able to receive messages? Please reset your network settings: Settings/General/Reset/Reset Network Settings. Keep us posted on the results, thanks!

  • I just purchased a note 3.  Everything works well except I cannot send text messages.  I can receive them, but I get an error message when I try to send them

    Can anyone tell me why I cannot send text messages on my note 3?   I can receive them, but when I attempt to send them I get an error message unable to send . . .  It's a brand new phone.

        Congratulations on your new phone, Nonaleigh.
    We would love to get to the bottom of your message mystery.
    I'm guessing you are getting the error for all messages you attempt to send, is that correct?
    What type of phone did you upgrade from? We ask because if you have switched from an Apple device (e.g., iPhone) to a non-Apple device (e.g., Android, Blackberry, etc.) and previously used the iMessage service, you may experience issues sending/receiving SMS/MMS messages with Apple device users. You need to deactivate the iMessage service within your Apple account to restore normal SMS/MMS functionality.

  • Cannot send text messages

    HI
    Starting 10 days ago, I cannot send text messages. i can still receive text messages.
    I tested my phone with a colleague who has an iphone. He receives a record that I am texting him but the message is null. I also texted a family member on her Android phone and she gets nothing.
    Here's what I have done:
    1. I did a hard reset twice. I removed the battery and even the SIM card in the process.
    2. Soft reset once using the Alt, **bleep**, Del key.
    3. Checked if my BB had the latest sotfware. It did It currently has OS 6 with bundle 2647.
    4. Wind Mobile Canada has reset my PIN
    5. I re-registered my phone as guided by the Wind Mobile tech support. I got an email from BB saying "Your handheld has been registered with the wireless network".
    What else could I try?
    Thanks

  • TS2755 I cannot send text messages form my 4S iphone to other cell phones.

    I cannot send text messages to other cell phones.  Only iPhones accept the messages.

    check to see if you have SMS turned on in the message settings.
    IF that doesn't help contact your phone carrier as they handle messaging and see if they can help resolve the issue.

  • Cannot send text messages to Verizon customers

    Hi
    I cannot send text messages to other verizon customers but can send to non vz. This has been happening since last night. Is there an update I need to perform? I have an iPhone 6 plus. Thanks

    Hi
    Thank you for your message. It seems like it is certain Verizon iPhone users. I did not download any new apps or perform any software updates on my iPhone. The ppl I could send text messages to were non VZ non iPhone users. Today I can only send to some iPhone users. They also had error messages sending text messages to me but not to my daughters iPhone (we r on a VZ family plan). Do I need to perform an update like *228 or something like that? Thank you!

  • N73 - Cannot send text messages/Multimedia key not...

    Sent my N73 into the shop to be fixed, and it came back with 2 problems. I cannot send text messages at all. I have heard that this can be solved with the sms accelerator, but I can find NO download link for the N73. I found another one and installed it onto my phone (version 1.0(0)) but the problem persists. ANy ideas or links to where the sms accelerator is for the N73?
    The 2nd problem is the multimedia key is no longer programmable. I press the multimedia key, then select the down arrow (configure) I scroll down to any of the options right, left, top, center, bottom. When I press the center joystick I just am taken back to the multimedia screen. I am not given any choices to reprogram the keys....any ideas there???
    Thanks for the help!

    Solved!

    Often it's just a case of resetting the phone after it comes back from repairs if they've upgraded or simply reflashed the firmware for you.
    Note that these operations will wipe your phone's internal memory so do a backup before proceeding.
    First option: revert to factory defaults. Dial *#7780#.
    Second option: soft reset. Dial *#7370#.
    Third option: hard reset. Switch the phone off and do the following.
    1) Press and hold the green "call", "3" and "*" buttons.
    2) With those buttons pressed down, switch the phone on.
    3) Keep pressing those 3 buttons and only release them once the phone shows signs of life such as the Nokia "hands" logo or the language selection screen.

  • I cannot send text messages to others not on my iphone4S.

    Can anyone out there help me with this? I can send text messages (imessages) to friends with a newer iphone, but no messages come in or go out to those that are not on iphones. I tried every combaination of settings in the Messages area of the settings - and nothing works. i have checked with AT&T online, and my account shows I have full unlimited text on my plan - and it worked 3 days ago on my old iphone. Any suggestions?
    Thanks!!!

    I have the same issue. AT&T members can't receive messages from me.  This started for me back around June 9 while I was actually a Sprint user.  Switched to Verizon on June 19, hoping to solve the issue.  However weeks later, AT&T users still can't receive messages from me.
    They can receive MMS, just not SMS.  I receive message from them.  It is affecting both Android and iPhone users.  I have always had an Android device.
    PLEASE HELP!

  • HT1430 I powered off but still cannot send text messages from my IPad.

    My iPad will not allow me to send text messages. I am receiving them but cannot create and send them.

    Just want you to know that I believe you solved my problem of not being able to send text messages on I pad, yet could receive them.  I don't know how to give you the 10 points, but you deserve them

  • Cannot send text messages anymore

    I recently installed the iCloud update to my Iphone 4.  Now, I can no longer send text messages to friends with Blackberries.  I can only text people with Iphones.  I have reset the settings to factory, but the problem is still there.  Any suggestions? 

    I am having the same problem with my iPad. When I try to text someone who doesn't have an iPhone or an iPad, it won't allow me to send. The update bragged about free iMessages, but...blah, blah,blah.  Since I have an iPhone, I was already able to text EVERYONE, but now I can't.

  • Cannot send text message to one mobile number

    Recently moved from iphone 4 to iphone 6 and changed the carrier from Tmobile to Verizon, post this change I am not able to send text message to one specific mobile number. The other person can send text to my number. The message sent to this specific phone number from iphone 6 appears green as sent but is not received by the other specific number. I can send messages to all the other friends but not to this specific number. The other person reached to his carrier (Tmobile) and they confirmed that it is not coming in their network after doing the testing from my end. This problem started when moved from Tmobile to verizon.

    Hi,
    This was already checked with the Tmobile carrier and their technicians as test from verizon side. It is not that it is not being received on their network, the issue is it is not being sent out from Verizon network. I have checked in my online account of Verizon with my SMS usage and it shows that no SMS has been sent out to this T-mobile number. I have tried sending SMS 30 - 40 times and there is no record in my online account about the SMS sent out. This means that the SMS is not going out from verizon network to this specific user. I hope I have made myself clear here in terms of issue definition. I have tried all possible options of deleting message thread, deleting contacts at both the sides, resetting network, switching off imessage, Airplane mode on-off, sending SMS by adding 001 to the mobile number etc.
    Kindly help urgently.
