Excessive number of texts ... Text not sent

I'm a high school coach who uses text lists to mass contact his kids about workouts, etc. I have over a hundred kids and parents in a group and use either handcent or chomp to communicate. Problem is I keep getting a message to the effect that there are a large number of texts being sent out, and to press "here" to allow them. Pressing "here" doesn't work for but one or two and I have to spend way too much time finishing the transmission. I have unlimited texting with my service. Any ideas?

Best bet is try to contact the app developers

Unable to stop text message not sent notification

About a week ago I received a text from someone that was sent to my email address. I tried to reply to it and now the **** "text message not sent" notification keeps popping up and I can't make it stop. This is driving me insane.

I just had this very exact problem. I was on the phone with tech support for about 5 hrs until they finally gave up and admitted they had no idea how to fix this. They shipped me a 'like new' phone after all of my complaining, and I haven't had any problems as of yet. Basically your two options are to have them send you a new phone or factory reset your device and hope for the best. I did the reset and my phone just started acting worse.

Can I get sound notification if SMS text is not sent

iPhone. I send a message but with our bad signal it sometimes doesn't get sent. We get a 'whoosh' when an email is sent - can I get one for text messages so I know to try again if I don hear it? It sometimes takes up to a minute to go so I can't just wait and stare at the screen!

You can run this code in the Browser Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer) to add a tooltip to the icon of each item in that list.
You probably need to scroll the full list to make Firefox update all attributes and you need to rerun the code in the browser console via cursor Up and Enter to update all tooltips after having done a new download.
If you run the code then you get a pop-up that shows some information of all selected items (Ctrl click multiple items).
You can open the Browser Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer).
Paste the JavaScript code in the command line and press the Enter key to run the code.

Text not sent

So after the Gingerbread update I have been having text issuews with the stock app and handcent. Every few days I will get a text message not sent error after trying to send a text. The only way it will start sending texts again is if I reboot and then I get the error again a few days later. It is really annoying. I've tried clearing stock cache. any suggestions? Also, is verizon planning on releaseing an update to fix the gingerbread bugs?

Hugh7911, thank you for your community and thanks to everyone who helped.
One thing I have noticed with Handcent is that it gives an option to send a delivery report, but the stock text messaging app does not. The phone may be trying to send a delivery report when it doesn't support it. Go into Handcent, press the Menu button, More, Undelivered. Delete any undelivered messages then power cycle the phone. Try sending a text message from the default text messaging app and see if that resolves the errors.

I have one contact that I've been texting for months, about 5 hours ago, I started receiving an error that the text was not sent. However, if I text a picture and then text with the picture the message goes through. Why am I getting this error?

You can also try out few things >
1) check if the ipod constantly appears in mycomputer section .
- if it does try changing the drive letter of the ipod and try to format the ipod drive(Right click format)
2) if its not comin up in mycomputer then.. there has to be problem with the USB drivers in your computer
you can try

The best way to check whether the ipod is faulty or the computer is creating the problem is,
connect the ipod to a different computer which has itunes on it(If possible)

Text messages appearing to be from my number which I did not send

I have recently had an issue whereby I sent a text message to someone in my phone book but when this was received it looked as if it had been sent by a third, totally unknown number.
I also experienced the opposite, whereby someone received a text appearing to be from my number which I categorically did not send.
No-one had access to my phone on either of these occasions (or any other iPhones/iPads I've previously or now own) and it is not a prank of any kind - messages are literally being sent appearing as if they are from a different number than the one that sent it.
How is this even possible and do I have any privacy whatsoever when sending messages or could these literally be sent to anyone with an iPhone (as I have experienced in both directions)?

My Apple ID is on my iPad but the message I allegedly 'sent' was received by the other person as an SMS.
Even if this is the case, I just cannot fathom that this can even be possible. It got to the extent that I was receiving abusive calls from women accusing me of texting their boyfriends when I hadn't! It makes me question how many times this may have happened but gone unnoticed because the recipient had just decided to ignore the message from an unknown number.
How can I trust that my messages won't be being sent willy nilly to random people across the world?!

Random texts not sent

I use texting quite a bit and have an LG basic phone. About 1-2 months ago my phone would randomly not sent certain texts. Usually they were to ATT customers. They always appear in the sent file in my phone, but the person never receives them. I have never missed a text and can reply to anyone, but if I try to start a fresh convo with an ATT customer, it won't work. I just reset the roaming settings and that didn't change anything. Any other suggestions?

You said this only seems to happen when you initiate the text, but not when you are replying to one sent to you. Do you choose their name from your contact list when you initiate the text? Or do you type in their number manually? Or perhaps find a text from them in your recent messages list and then reply to that?
Check the number you have for those contacts - make sure you are using the full 10-digit number (with area code, no leading "1"). Or try each of the methods mentioned above and see if your success rate improves with any of them.
Choose from contacts - the number in your contact list must contain 10 digits (area code, no leading "1") in mos, if not all, cases, even if you are sending and receiving within the same area code.
Manual number input - same rule - 10 digits
Reply to previously received message - this should work in every case, as the phone is detecting the incoming number and will send a response to the same.

Text message said Sent as text message not deilvered. did it get sent

When sending a text, I received a message "sent as text message" not the normal "delivered" Did it actually get sent?

Anything is possible. It's also possible that the person who received it deleted it by accident. Or, it's possible that they received it and are telling you they don't. I would say that the first is the least likely, though.

When I press on a land line number, the phone does not call the number, but comes up with a screen to send a text to it. How do I get my phone to default to phoneing a landline?

When I press on a land line number, the phone does not call the number, but comes up with a screen to send a text to it. How do I get my phone to default to phoneing a landline? When I press a mobile number in contacts, the phone automatically phones the number. I do not mind this as I hardly ever send texts, but I would like to have the option of what to do. This seems such an obvious issue but I can not solve it even with much web searching. Thanks!

I can't delete my question, so I'll just say that you press on the type of number written in the box to the left of the box you typye the number into. Dumb or what?

Why do text messages from my iPad appear to some people as if they came from my email address instead of my phone number? This does not happen when I send text messages from my iPhone.

You need to link your iPhone number to Messages - and Facetime if you use it. For Messages go to Settings>Messages>Send and Receive at>You can be reached by iMessage at. If your phone number is showing there, select it as your Contact address. If it doesn't appear in there, take a look at the end of this article for help.

Text messages not being sent with Google Now or in Car Mode

When attempting to send a text message by voice using either Google Now or when in Car Mode, the text message gets created correctly to the right person, and the content of the message is correct. When I confirm to send the message, I always get "Message Not Sent". I'm able to send text messages manually using the standard Messages app. Researching this issue, I've seen that there are some others having the same problem but I have not found or heard of a resolution.

I don't have a Verizon Messages app.

Droid DNA Not Displaying Number of New Texts on Icon

Verizon replaced my damaged Droid DNA with a new one. The replacement doesn't display the number of new texts I've received on the text icon on the home screen the way my original one did. Now in order to see if I have any new texts I have to hit the icon on the home screen and go to texting to see if anything new is there. I have a tone set for new texts and that works fine if I hear it or I don't have the phone shut off in the theater, but I'd like to be able to just glance at the home screen and know immediately if anything came in the way my previous DNA did.

The phone does not show unread emails
The phone does show un-listened to Voice Mails
The Update in Settings says No Software Update Available
I'm not using a messaging App
The phone is a replacement from Verizon and everything is as it was
delivered to me
Thanks, Michael
