Cant recieve text messages

I activated my i phone today, everything works fine, the phone intrernet, mail etc. Except i can't recieve texts from some people. I can text them just fine but i can get any replys or texts from them. When i texted someone who had an i phone i got a reply with no problems. Is this normal?

I don't think it would hurt to turn the phone off and back on. Let me explain.
I have had the iPhone since day 1. Usually small glitches here and there but no major problems. Sunday, we went deep sea fishing off the Louisiana coast. I had the phone with me. It lost contact with the network, no problem as I was back in contact later that afternoon as we got off the boat. Next morning, I noticed my usual mail was not showing up, nor were texts that my wife said she sent. So, I turned off the phone and back on (bling!!!) just a flood of texts and email. Somehow, turning the phone on and off resets the network into realizing the connection and getting the info to it.
Good luck, even though it may still take that 24 hours they say.

    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

    can anyone tell me why this is happening

    Thanks for responding paulheu.
    Hi, denny122455. Welcome to the Nokia Support Discussions.
    Did you change any settings on the phone prior to this? Were you able to send an SMS? Have you tried removing your SIM card and place it back in? To further isolate your case, try to insert your SIM to another phone or vice versa.

    No, they probably got lost out there somewhere. They're gone.

  • Unable to send or recieve text messages

    For some reason I am unable to send or recieve text messages, can anyone help me with this situation

    Hi ,
    Is your Orange phone still working? The EE phone will have a temporary number until yours transfers over.
    When this has transfered you will need to do the below:
    Update your number
    Go to Settings > Phone > My Number.
    Replace the temporary number you find there with your own number - use +44 instead of the first 0.
    Then tap Save.
    Reset iMessage settings
    Your iMessage settings won't reset themselves during porting - the temporary number will still be in your new iPhone.
    To input your old number into your new iPhone:
    Go to Settings
    Tap on Messages
    Tap iMessage ON
    Scroll down to Send & Receive number
    Replace the temporary number with your old number
    Then tap Save.
    That's it, you're all ready for action. with your number.
     

  • Nokia 5800 recieving text messages

    I have just recently purchased a Nokia 5800, why is it when i recieve text messages  the senders name doesnt appear? all it says is 'one new message', is this standard for nokia phones ? 

    Hopefully you are still following this thread and will see this:
    Skyestream have released a version of skyecaller that is compatible with the 5800xm. This will give you the senders name and photo when you receive a message.

  • Reversing Sides that Sent/Recieved Text Messages are shown

    Is it ever possible that recieved text messages could be shown on the right side of the screen and texts I send on the left side of screen? If not with regular iphone how about with a jailbroken iphone?

    My phone is not jailbroken nor would I ever risk doing that to my phone. I asked this question becuase I am trying to find out if I am being told the truth about something or if the text conversation that was sent to me was a fake text transcript. I really just need to know if reversing the sides is even possible at all with an iphone or if that is just completely bogus. Thank you.

  • 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

  • Help! New iphone 3g not sending/recieving text messages or email!!!

    Hey guys. I just got myself a 3g iphone today and im already havin issues with it. I updated to 3.1.2 right off the bat.
    Well it seems that i can send email, but that seems to be about it. I can not send or recieve text messages. I can recieve email, but it will not notify me when I get a new email. The only way i can find out if i have a new email is by opening the mailbox and waiting for it to refresh.
    Isnt this thing suposed to push my emails and notify me as soon as they are sent? How do i get this and my text messaging working? This is so disapointing since my wife just got a $10 phone that worked flawlesly right out of the box.
    thanks all,
    ---Joe

    First off, Reset your iPhone. Hold down the sleep and home buttons, ignore the off slider, wait for the Apple logo to appear then let the buttons go. After it resets try to send a text message again. If it does not work there is probably an issue with your carrier and you will have to contact them.
    As far as mail, do you have a MobileMe, Yahoo push, GMail push, or Exchange mail account? Because these are the only ones that will Push your mail to the iPhone. If you do have one of these make sure Push is turned on in the Mail settings. If you don't have one of these you can go to the Mail settings and specifying a mail Fetch period.
