Getting Call Failed but can send text messages

This is the first problem I have had with him IPhone 3g and have no idea what to do.  I cannot send or receive calls but can tend text messages.  I have plenty of credit on my phone and the battery is charged.  I have turned off the phone and on again but nothing seems to help.  Would be most grateful for any suggestions - I am a complete techno noob so would be grateful if you could keep it simple for me

Have you tried to test in other locations? Maye you'r just on the edge of the carriers network.
Make sure you have the available iOS updates and Carrier Settings.
If that doesn't do it, you can try  Resetting Network Settings from Settings > General > Reset. You can also try restoring the iPhone.

  • I can send text messages but I cannot receive them!  Can anyone help?

    On my iPhone, I can send text messages, and other people receive them, no problem.
    But when people send me texts, I never get them. What is going on, and what should I do?
    Frustrated,

    I'm having the same problem. I came from Verizon, and activated about an hour ago. I got the 2 free text messages from AT&T and can send, but not receive. My friend who transferred from TMobile on Friday night had the same exact problem. He had to call a number, and have them fix some thing in his billing that was not correct. I am trying to get the number from him. It is an AT&T thing.

    SMS text messages are handled by your cellular carrier.

  • My phone can send text messages but won't receive them.

    ItI

    My fiancé and I are also having this issue. He has a droid X and I have the lg env 3. We can send texts but don't get texts until about 2 hours after they are sent to us. However.. We can speed up the process by sporadically making phone calls.. If we suspect someone has replied to our texts.. If we call each other or voicemail or wherever.. It pushes the texts through whatever is holding them back and we can then receive them. We have full bars and I did shut off my phone, take out the battery and then put it back in and turn it on. Hopefully you can help?

  • How come i can send text message but cant receive

    I have a Skype in number unlimited plan also Skype credit but.I can receive text messages why is that?

    By text message do you mean SMS message?
    If yes, then currently receiving SMS messages is not supported. Online Numbers are just regular landline numbers and don't receive SMS messages
    Online Number only enables you to receive incoming calls:

  • I have amonthly subscription but can send text mes...

    why cant i send text messages?..i have a monthly subscription...what am i missing?????

    You have a keyboard but can only type one sentence?
    Seriously, no one can really give you a meaningful answer to that, but I'll give it a shot...
    The trial software is the real software.  To activate it with your subscription you need only log in using the Adobe ID you set up the subscription with.
    Is some part of that not working for you?  If so, perhaps you could be a little more specific.
    Also know this:  The folks here on this user to user forum cannot access Adobe's subscription database to work out problems there.  Now and again an Adobe representative participates, but it is not guaranteed.  Your best bet to work out subscription issues is to call Adobe customer support.
    Good luck.

  • Cannot receive or make call and receive or send text messages in areas where there is a high wifi signal.

    Please help me. I just got my iphone 4 last february and it was working just fine. But recently, i am having problems with its phone features such as text messaging and call. Most of he times i have a full network signal yet i cannot receive or make a call, receive or send text messages. I have also observed that everytime i am in a wifi zone where its signal strenght is high, this problem always exists. There seems to be no problem with its other features...please help me anyone.

    Wi-Fi has nothing to do with making/receiving calls, or sending/receiving text messages... those features only work over the cellular network.
    Have you contacted the carrier to rule out network issues or swap out the SIM card to eliminate that as a possibility?
    What about Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings?

  • Ported from Verizon , cant recieve text but can send text

    I got my phone Oct 10th and my problem is i am unable to recieve text messages from ONLY Verizon customers. I can do everything else just fine. I did port over from verizon to att and i understand it takes time for the servers to update but almost 2 weeks ? I have called att twice and they say it has to be a verizon issue because i can send and recieve on their network. Now what do i do ?

    Ok this is going to sound stupid but my company had text messaging blocked I called Verizon and they unblocked it and now it works. Thank you for your help

  • Imessage wont send pics but can send texts

    i message wont send any pics but if i turn off imessage and send it as regular text it works but as soon as i turn imessage back on it wont send any pics to anyone i send it to.  It says that it is delivered but they never get it   any help please

    I'm having the same problem too... Also when I try to send a message it doesn't go through, it says "Not Delivered" in red underneath the message. Also receiving messages is sometimes affected because my friend sent me an iMessage at 10am and I only received it at 11:46am.
    I have a 4S and recently upgraded to iOS6. Is this something Apple is fixing? I tried searching for a solution or announcement of some kind but came up with nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
