Factory unlocked iPhone 5 having problems sending/receiving sms

Hello,
I recently bought a factory unlocked iPhone 5 from the apple store in the US and I am unable to send/receive any sms/texts using my mobile provider B&YOU located in France.
Can anyone help with ways to solve this issue?
Thanks,
Suligadal

Hello Sk8Dreams,
Thanks for your questions and quick feedback. Yes I turned on SMS & MMS in my settings and yes my plan includes SMS & MMS. I tried something I saw in the forum concerning enabling the "show subject field" and for some strange reason, I am able to send messages after trying this. Seems strange, I am going to disable this "show subject field" and see if it will work or not. SMS should work regardless of if this option is active shouldn't it?
Thanks

Factory unlocked iPhone 4S cannot send mms

I have a factory unlocked iPhone 4S (previously with AT&T, now used with TMobile). After I downloaded the most recent update, I am no longer able to send or receive picture messages. How do I fix this?

Wait for the carrier update that will make it compatible with T-Mobile. Coming some time between now and 4/12.

Problem sending/ receiveing SMS on a particular port in an intercarrier n/w

I am using JSR 120 to send & receive SMS on a particular port. This works perfectly between 2 devices using the same carrier.
if I try sending & receive inter-carrier SMS, like from T-Mobile device to Cingular device (or vice-versa), my j2me app does not receive any SMS on the port it is listening to.
When the SMS with a port is sent from my app, I get the prompt for permission to send. On pressing OK, the SMS is sent. On the receiving side, the device on the another carrier network receives the SMS in the default inbox, & not by my app.
I am not sure if this is a inter-carrier SMSC issue or something to do with my app.
Pl help.

Has anyone come across the above mentioned problem? Pl let me know if there is any solution.
Question simply put : When a j2me sms midlet sends an sms on a unique port to another j2me sms midlet listening on the same port, but served by a different carrier (cellular operator), why does the sms go to device inbox & not to my midlet?
Thank you

Problems sending long SMS on N8

I am having problems sending long SMS texts. Whenever I try to write out a text that is longer than a few sentences, the screen just goes off and the message disappears. The screen just goes back to the inbox and the half written text is nowhere to be seen. It is driving me up the wall! I have updated to the latest software in the last couple of weeks so I don't think it is that. If anyone has any ideas please help!
Thanks

Hi,
I don't know... but could you try this:
Create a very long sms (more than 160 char) via phone UI and save it to phone's drafts folder -> does PC Suite shows that in one message?

Was it purchased from an official Apple Store, not a reseller? Only Apple Stores sell official factory unlocked phones. The others sell hacked to unlock phones, and the unlocking is unstable.
Try these steps, as needed:
1. Reset phone - press both home and on/off buttons for at least 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
2. Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
3. Replace SIM card (and reset network settings again)
4. Restore Phone in iTunes using a backup
5. Restore in iTunes as new, without using a backup

On my iPhone 5 I am having a problem sending / receiving e-mails and am receiving the message: the user name or password for "imap.gmail" is incorrect. Despite many attempts I am getting nowhere. Does anyone recognise this problem?

I do not know what imap.gmail is. I have also lost data which was contained on my diary which I believe is linked to the problem. Does anyone recognise this problem?

imap.gmail is the Google mail server. It doesn't recognize the password that is stored in the iPhone. The problem is that the password or email address you have in Settings for the gmail account is wrong. If you changed the password somewhere else that is the reason. You need to go to Settings/Mail,Contacts,Calendar, tap on the gmail account and enter the correct password. You also need to change it for outgoing mail in Settings.

Buying Factory Unlocked iphone - problems?

I live in the UK and the area I'm in doesn't have a great O2 signal but Orange is fine, I was thinking of buying a factory unlocked iphone 3GS so it'll be totally legal and not jailbroken but will be from like Australia or something, I was wondering before I buy it if someone could tell me if i'm likely to encounter any problems using it on Orange rather than O2 (ie anything that wouldn't work on the phone) also as it won't be from the UK will that make a difference, would anything be different on it? I also read that I'd have to manually setup the SMS settings etc, is this right?
thanks!

Insurance would not cover manufacturer defects. Insurance only covers breaking the phone.
The iPhone handles MMS differently than other phones do. Here in the US, we don't have MMS on the iPhone yet while other ATT phones have MMS. ATT has had to make changes to their network to accommodate MMS on the iPhone and is still in the process of doing so.

I'm having an unusual problem with my iphone 4S. When I'm making a call, it suddenly sounds like my call has been invaded by aliens! Why is it doing this? I'm also having problems sending texts. Sometimes it sends sometimes it doesn't.

Could be an issue with your Carrier and/or location...
The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart.. Reset.. Restore from Backup... Restore as New...
Try a Reset...
Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release the buttons...

Problems sending/receiving mail on original iphone

The last 2 days my wife has had problems sending/receiving email on her original iphone. We have yahoo/att email server still using prodigy.net email addresses. This happened several months ago to both of us. My original iphone isn't affected.

Set it up as IMAP or configure it so that, while using POP, it retains a copy of the message on the server so that it can be downloaded again on multiple clients.
