Devour - Can't Receive Texts from other Carriers

Lately i've been having issues with receiving texts from other Carriers. I've already reset my phone multiple times, both hard and soft. All applications were deleted, i deleted conversations, wiped all conversations, re-texted the person, and tested who gets what.
Basically in a nutshell,
T-Mobile, i can occasionally get texts from.
Sprint, AT&T, Virgin, and any and all subsidiaries of forementioned carriers send replies i cannot get.
Every carrier can receive my message. i cannot receive theirs.
Verizon does work - for send and receive.
voicemails do work, i can leave one, and they can call me.
i've tested every method suggested over and over. im at the end of my rope. My job requires that my phone can receive messages from the employees and bosses, and all of them aren't Verizon-based. Somebody, please help. No, getting a new phone isn't feasible, and all my other phones are broken, except this one...and this was the first phone i actually owned three years ago.

Thunderbolt Not Receiving Texts From Other Carriers

I installed the official firmware release on June 15, 2011. Since then my phone spontaneouly reboots more than ever and I am completelu unable to receive texts from other carriers (T-Mobile, AT&T, ect). I am able to send messages out only. I have rebooted the phone (when it's not doing it all by itself) and tried the *228, Option 2 to update the PRL. No change. Is there any fix for this?

I believe you'll have to take it to a Verizon store, as the *228 method ruins the SIM card for the Thunderbolt

Anyone else having trouble receiving texts from other iphone users?

My daughter has an iphone 4S and just called from college, she can't receive texts from other iphone users anymore. Worked fine until yesterday. She can receive texts from me, but I have a droid. Any idea if this is a Verizon problem or something wrong with her phone?

She turned imessage off, then turned it back on again and now it seems to be fine. Not sure what she did, but she says she's ok now.

How do I disable iMessage so I can receive text from other

I switch from an iPhone to a android but I still have an iPad. I can't receive text from iPhone users but I can send them text messages. How do I go about fixing this problem. Some suggested turning off my iMessage on my iPad. How do I manage that?

Settings>Messages>Off. It's that simple.
You should be able to receive texts from iPhone users. I text my brother from my iPhone to his Samsung Android phone all the time with no issues at all. Are they sending the text to your phone number and not to your email address?

Have a 5S w/ Sprint, can't receive texts from verizon non-iphones!

Ported a # as of 10/2 from Tmobile to the iphone 5s I received from Sprint.
Since then I can't receive texts from verizon non-iphones! They
can see my texts. Googling this, it seems like there's been issues
like this for other people. Can anyone advise as this is very bad!

SMS and MMS are carrier features. There is nothing you can do on your phone to fix this. It's either a problem with Sprint, Verizon, or T-Mobile. You've reported the problem to Sprint, that's all you can do. About the only other thing that could be done would be to have somone you know on Verizon who can't send messages to you open a ticket with Verizon.

I have a motox and my wife has a iPhone but she can't receive texts from?

i have a motox and my wife has a iPhone but she can't receive texts from me. What would be the problem on why is that?

What did you used to send her an iMessage, using her phone number or e-mail address?
Does she have in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > her phone number & e-mail address selected?

Why doen't iphone receive texts from other iphones.

I have recently bought iphone 5C for the first time, I have had an ipad for a long time which I use for imessages through wifi.   I thought that when I am out and about away from wifi I would receive sms/text from other iphones like I had with my previous basic mobile, but this doesn't happen, although I can send texts to other iphones. Also when I return to a wifi area imessage that have been picked up by my ipad then don't appear on my iphone. When both the iphone and ipad are using wifi when an imesssage is received the message appears on both devices. Is this usual as I would like to receive texts from other iphones as it could be important.

Is iMessage turned on your phone?    It doesn't sound like it.
I would disable iMessage on BOTH your iPad and iPhone.   Enable it on iPhone first, then iPad 2nd.
Try again and let us know if it's working properly.

TS5185 i have turned off my Imessage but I still can't receive text from anyone using an Iphone

I switched from iPhone 4s to a galaxy note 2 but I can't receive messages from other iPhone users. . I turned off my Imessage but I still can't receive any

Hi there.
Had exactly the same issue, and i've sorted this out now. It IS Apple's responsibility to deactivate this function, and simply switching their imessage off on a handset will NOT work.
Whatever apple did, they effectively released my number (read: t-mobile's number) from their messaging / OS framework's grip.
Please read my explanation here:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/24488400#24488400
You will need to contact apple support according to my solution.
Whatever it was they did, and i can guarantee that they did SOMETHING to release my (t-mobile's) number from their ecosystem, even though they did not specify step two (whatever they did after instructing me to deactivate imessage on their handset - which i explained i had already done), it has now returned my SMS delivery and receipt status to normal, and i can send and receive to everyone and anyone in my Contact List.

I recently lost my iphone 4s, I'm temporarily using a droid. I can't get texts from other iphone users.

Cannot send/receive messages from other carriers...help!

Has anyone had this problem? If so, please help me out! I can send/receive text messages with other AT&T users but not with any other carriers.
Thanks!

AT&T will have to fix this issue, same thing happens to me. I call AT&T and told them I can't send or recieve mms from some carriers, AT&T had to update my account somehow they said they use some 3rd party service to direct mms and mine needed a update, they said it takes 24 hours after they notify the other company... My mms is working now for all carriers. Give AT&T a call and they will fix it .

Can't received text from my old iphone

I can't receive text messages from my old phone (now my son is using it). If I'm within WiFi range It works - only through Imessage not SMS.
Help!
I've tried all the fixes - it's only a problem from my old phone not other iphone users

Did you try another USB cable?
Is it recognized by another computer?
Autosync can be activated in iTunes/Settings/Devices

Disable iMessage as can't receive texts from iPhone users on new Android phone

I have done everything I can find online about this:
Deleted/unregistered the device from my profile
Changed my password
Changed the number to 000000000 on my iPhone
Switched iMessage off on my iPhone
Deleted the device from my iCloud account.... HELP.
When I call apple I can't speak to someone it says I need to pay £25 as I do not have cover. Really?! Is there another number I can call? Any help appreciated. Will it work eventually? I have waited a week and still can't receive text messages from my husband on his iPhone. It's driving me mad! I love my new Android phone (LG G2) but this is so frustrating.

Hi zara343, I had a similar problem. I have a iphone and my daughter changed from iphone to android. We couldn't receive text messages to each other, she had no other problems with her other contacts, just mine. It was driving me crazy. My phone kept recognizing her android as an iphone. Yes I turned iMessage off and yes I could receive my daughters messages, but my two other daughters and a few friends had iPhones, so I didn't get their messages. My problem is now fixed, I tried to send a message to my daughter and it came up undelivered, so I pressed the red exclamation mark to the right of the undelivered message and it gave me the option to try again, send as a text message or cancel. So I pressed send as a text message and my daughter received it, I tried again and message undelivered, so again I pressed the exclamation mark and went through the same process as before. I thought what a pain but did a third and now my iphone does not recognise her phone number as an iphone. So your husband would have to do this with his iphone and I am confident it will work, and me as an iphone user can keep iMessage switched on. Hope this helps.
