Delayed text messaging through imessage

I've been having a problem with text messages being delayed through imessage with just one other iphone. The problem has been going on since last Thursday, 9/4. I can send texts to the other person and they are recieved promptly, but I do not recieve texts for 1-3 days and then they come all at once. This is very annoying! We are both in zip code 44256 and both using Verizon.

Being able to send and receive text messages is very important and something that we want to make sure you have the ability to do. Has your phone completed any recent software updates? Are you having any problems sending and receiving text messages to anyone that is not another iPhone user? Let's try resetting the network settings http://vz.to/1ovdCBD to see if that resolves the issue. Please keep us posted.

Text messages and imessages marked as delivered yet not received since last update. I cannot make sense of the troubleshooting page, why does this complex machine not just work?.

I updated my iphone -again, and now my girlfriend (and who knows who else) is not reliably receiving messages. I try sending as iMessage and as SMS and have iMessage checked in my options and send as text message if iMessage doesn't work also checked. It was working fine, I updated, now it's patchy at best and although messages are marked as delivered they aren't and I don't know unless I phone the recipient up. Have tried restarting, resetting and digging through the trouble shooting pages... Apple products used to just work, now my phone is like a puzzle that I have to solve. I'm ditching apple in October when my contract is up but would like to send texts in the meantime, any ideas?

Awesomez. Thanks apple support community, very helpful indeed. About as helpful as a phone that stops sending texts after the manufacturers update it. No worries though, I got a HTC yesterday, put my sim in and guess what? It works. Close this thread down thanks mods.

How do i get text messaging through my macbook pro?

how do i get text messaging through my macbook pro?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you have an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch and you use iMessage, you can use it in your Mac if you want. OS X Mountain Lion includes Messages, that allows you to use iMessage.
First, check that your computer is supported > http://www.apple.com/osx/specs If so, open  > About this Mac, and see what OS X version you have:
10.5 or older: you have to upgrade first to Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
10.6 or 10.7: open  > Software Update, and install the most recent version. Then, open the App Store and purchase OS X Mountain Lion.
10.8: you are already using OS X Mountain Lion, so open the Messages app.
While OS X Mountain Lion is being downloaded, make a backup of your files and check that your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com
If you aren't referring to iMessage, you can't send text messages in your computer

Problem sending text messages and imessages

Hi,
I have been having some problems with my iphone 5 when sending and receiving text messages and imessages. When i go to send a text or imessage it will take a long time for the message to try to send through, then it comes up with message failure. I have full reception and internet connection and the phone is runing on the lastest ios7.1.2, everything is working in that respect. Sometimes it will freeze my whole inbox and i end up having to turn my phone off and on again to unfreeze it. It has also started taking a long time to receive messages, i will get a message and it will say that it was received 30mins ago when its only just shown up on my phone. I am also having problems deleting messages, as it freezes whenever i try to delete them.
Any suggestions on what to do?

See if anything in this article helps: iOS: Troubleshooting Messages

Cannot send or recieve text messages through Ford Sync system since latest O.S. update 10.3.1.1779

My Blackberry Classic easily connected to my Lincoln's Sync system. I was able to receive and send text messages through the Sync. Since the latest O.S. update, I can no longer connect sms services through Sync.
Should I restore to previous O.S.?

Yes my particular issue is not like yours. However, there have been many other laptop users experiencing similar problem to yours after 3.10 kernel. Mostly it seems to be bumblebee users that experience your problem with the blank screen. We do know that nvidia have yet to make their official drivers work with kernel 3.10 and up. The drivers in the Arch repository have been patched to work with 3.10. From what I have seen, this also only seem to be affecting laptops with newer nvidia gpu's. I fear there is not much to do with this problem until nvidia give official 3.10 kernel support.
My suggestion would be to stick with 3.9.9 kernel and the drivers that work with it, and don't upgrade those packages until nvidia has addressed these issues. If you have a look at the nvidia forums you will see quite a number of topics mentioning black screen when starting x on 3.10 kernel, and also a thread for the system dying. Reading some of the threads there may help you keep up to date on whether or not the issue seem to be solved.

Tried resetting network settings then it works again until the problem comes back.
Not sure what causes the problem. I do not wish to reboot my iphone everytime when it happens.
Seems like ios7 gm issues.
Never had this problem on the beta.
Anyone have any resolution to this?

iMessage is Activated.
Facetime is Activated.
Don't know what is preventing me from sending over iMessage.
Receiving is no problem. Even during the the time I was trying to send.

HT204053 can someone see my text messages through another source and not my phone

can someone see my text messages through another source and not my phone

What exactly do you mean through another source?
Cause the only way I can think to answer this question is by stateing -
If you send them a text message on another device or to their email, yes. otherwise no well unless you like emailed those to yourself and "someone" has access to your email etc etc etc yes...

Siri speak text message through bluetooth?

With the Apple 6, Siri no longer "speak"s text message through a bluetooth. It only speaks through speaker so that everyone nearby can hear the text message. Anyone else have a problem with this? Has Apple fixed it?

Have you checked Ford's website if this is supported, or asked the dealership where the auto was purchased? Anything included with the auto manual?

iOS 5 handles texts differently than previous versions. Resetting the network connections helps, but that didn't seem to solve your problem, and neitherdid the simple reset.
Try deleting old messages from the messages app, then after clearing up a lot, just do a simple restart of your phone. If you want to be extra sure, try resetting your network connections again. I had this same problem. Your last option would be a complete restore of the phone, but I don't think we'll have to go that far.

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!

My iphone 5 that I just got on March 14,2015 will not send or recieve picture messages through text messaging I can only recieve and send picture messages from iMessage

Hi, cymoneW.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you are unable to send or receive picture messages via the cellular data network. I would check to make sure that MMS is enable in settings. This setting is located in Settings > Messages and MMS Messaging. If the issue persists, try the troubleshooting steps in the article below.

Delayed text messages and voicemail notifications

Hi all,
I am really at my wit's end with this problem. For about a week and a half, I have been having a severe text message delay. My sent messages go out fine, and are received immediately, but I have been receiving messages anywhere from a few hours to a few days late. These messages are from both people on AT&T and otherwise. When the messages do come through, they come in bursts--one message right after the other as if they were all just sent. The only luck I have had in receiving my messages in a more timely fashion has been to keep turning off and turning back on my phone.
Additionally, I have been having similar issues receiving voicemail. Someone could leave me a voicemail in the morning and I won't even be aware there was a message until well into the evening. Again, turning off the phone and turning it back on is the only thing that seems to work.
I have spent countless hours on the phone with both AT&T and iPhone tech support over the past 4 days, and each day I am told "all set, the problem's fixed!", and yet it persists. I have already reset my phone, completely restored my phone, etc., etc. Also I have not changed locations recently (that might affect the service, for example), and this problems persists even when I have a full signal. Earlier today, AT&T support completely reset my voicemail, and that has not fixed the situation, either.
Please if anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it. AT&T seems to have no more options for me, and naturally they blame the phone, and iPhone support blames AT&T, and ultimately nothing is getting fixed.
Thank you for your help.

Text & voicemail are both carrier features, so I would lean more to the problem being on AT&T's side than your phone. Especially since you've indicated that you've done a restore. However, there are a couple of things left you can do:
1. Get a new sim card. Go to an AT&T store & have them replace your sim, they should not charge you for this.
2. If the problem still persists after replacing the sim, make an appointment at an Apple store. They have diagnostic equipment that can tell instantly if your phone has a hardware problem.

Delete old text messages and iMessages in iOS 5.1?

On my iPhone, I noticed that the "Other" file in iTunes had grown. I also remember hearing that "Other" was your app data (like Angry Birds high scores), Text messages/iMessages, and so on. I was wondering if it was possible to delete older Messages (pursay any messages older then a month ago) and not the newer ones. Please let me know. Thanks.

Other includes data such as iPhone settings, contacts, calendar events, Safari bookmarks/cache/cookies, all email and email attachments, SMS/MMS/iMessages, notes, data created and stored by a 3rd party apps. You could go through and delete older messages but I doubt that would reduce the size of Other very much. If Other is getting quite larege (> 2 gigs) then it's possible that it is corrupted. If this is the case you backing up your phone and restoring it will often fix this. Follow this guide if you wish to do this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414.

Why can't I forward text messages using iMessage to my email address?

I recently upgraded my cell phone to an iPhone 5s. I'm using iMessage and am unable to forward text messages to my email address. Sometimes they deliver fine but on the whole they won't go through to my email. Can anyone tell me why? Or what I can do to get them to forward? Thank you!

Do you just mean while you are in the car? Or do you mean while you're connected to a system in the car? What happens when you try? Have you consulted your dealer to make sure you have the most up-to-date firmware on your car system?
