Gs5 not sending orreceiving texts

Had a gs4 stolen the other day so I got a gs5 today. Got it all set up to my old number on the new sum card. It makes calls and receives caps, however I can't send our receive text messages. Any idea how to fix this.

    Never fear, help is here willyp33! I would be delighted to see what I can do to assist. Have you contacted us directly via phone to discuss this issue? Are you able to successfully browse the web as well without WIFI? Please keep us posted, thanks!

  • Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?  Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

    Apple is great!
    Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?  Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).
    I compose an iMessage with the destination as my email address and I attach 2 photos I want on my PC.  I send them several times from my iPhone 5C but they never arrive. I look at my ipad later and realize that it's iMessage app is getting ( and swallowing) these emails. I then turn the ipad off.  Still can't get the photos through because iphone is now getting them on it's iMessage.  I turn off the iMessage feature and try to send photos from text msging.  Phone tells me it can't send photos unless iMessage it turned on.  What happened to regular MMS text messaging?  I go and try to send photos as an email attachment and see that there is no option to attach from the stupid email program.  I look up online to learn about the brave new world of apple attachments and send them.

    The email program on my iphone is not configured to remove messages from the server.
    If iMessage is turned off I don't have the issue.
    Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

    Did not work. I've selected iMessage to ON and left it. After a few hours I recieved a message "activation unsuccessful. Turn on iMessage to try again". This has been going on for the past 3 days.

        Thank you for reaching out to us, labrylao4. Regarding the issues with messaging, is this affecting only SMS, iMessages, or both? When you or her try to send each other messages, do you receive any error messages while it is sending? If it is for iMessages, have you tried to send while connected to WiFi?

  • Can not send SMS text message.

    Hi, I'm a BlackBerry user for 4 years now and this is the first time that I have a problem with SMS text messaging. My precious BB is a Q10.
    The problem is that I can receive SMS messages but I can not answer and I can not send messages. When I tap the 'send' icon or press Enter nothing happens. My message dissapears and i can not see in the upper window, below the message that I've previously receive and I wanted to aswer for.
    Also, I can compose SMS message, but when I press Enter or tap send, nothing happens. No message in the hub, or in the text messages folder.
    I've rebooted the device, reloaded the OS, but didn't help.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    With a strong carrier network signal (e.g., not merely WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (step 1 should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
    1) Register HRT
    KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
    Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive
    2) Reboot
    Pre-BB10 Devices ONLY. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.
    BB10 Devices. Hold the top button down until the counter reaches zero. Wait for the device to be fully shut down (e.g., nothing at all displayed on the screen, no LED lights, etc.). Hold the top button until the red LED is lit. Wait through the full boot-up process. IF this fails, you can attempt the battery-pull method above, but it is normally NOT recommended unless nothing else works.
    See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should contact your mobile service provider for formal support.
    Good luck!

  • Why can I not send a text to more than one person at a time on my iphone 5

    I have an iphone 5 IOS 8.1.3, and I can only send text messages to one person at a time. I cannot send GROUP text messages. It will then tell me they are not delivered.  What is wrong? How can I correct it?

  • TS2755 Siri will not send a text message to some of my contacts

    I am using an iPhone 5 . When Siri is asked to send a Text Message to some members of my contact list it will...but some it will not. Mostly the one that cannot find are members of my family. This has only been happening the last couple of days. How can this be fixed?

    Hello mmurray550,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    According to a previous Support Communities thread marked as solved, green phone numbers are numbers not registered with iMessage, and would thus be SMS only.  Since you're using an iPod touch, it does not have SMS capability, and therefore cannot send a message to that number.

  • LG Cosmos phone  can not send/receive texts that are typed

    Hi,
    My family  has 3 of the LG Cosmos phones and we cannot word text either the phones do not receive them even though our phones says we sent them.  They even sometimes do not go through to our other phone which is an iphone.
    We have reset, we have cleared memory, we have tried everything.
    Funny thing is we can send picture texts without a problem and we can send the voice text messages and they all go through.  They don't miss one.  However, if we type the text message (as in normal text) only maybe 1 in every 8 goes through. This has been happening for 2 days now.  Any suggestions? It does not matter if we are out or at home.

        Hi mewith3,
    I know how important it is for your text messages to be received. We want to get to the bottom of this situation to get your messages to be delivered. Other than the messages being typed out, have you noticed any other similarities? Do you have any message signatures set? When the messages aren't delivered, are they going to other Verizon users or all providers? To those Verizon users, are the messages on your phone showing delivered? Please provide us a few more details so we can check what may causing the trouble.
    Thank you,

  • Why will my phone not send any texts?  When I try to send one it says message failed.

    I was receiving texts as of yesterday but today when I try to send a text it tells me message failed would I like to try again.  I received a text this morning but can not reply to it.  It isn't blocked because I tried sending a text to myself and that won't work either.

    We want to make sure you able able to send a text message ditchdoctor912! What is the make and model of your device? When did it start? What messaging application are you using.

  • Help! New iphone 3g not sending/recieving text messages or email!!!

    Hey guys. I just got myself a 3g iphone today and im already havin issues with it. I updated to 3.1.2 right off the bat.
    Well it seems that i can send email, but that seems to be about it. I can not send or recieve text messages. I can recieve email, but it will not notify me when I get a new email. The only way i can find out if i have a new email is by opening the mailbox and waiting for it to refresh.
    Isnt this thing suposed to push my emails and notify me as soon as they are sent? How do i get this and my text messaging working? This is so disapointing since my wife just got a $10 phone that worked flawlesly right out of the box.
    thanks all,
    ---Joe

    First off, Reset your iPhone. Hold down the sleep and home buttons, ignore the off slider, wait for the Apple logo to appear then let the buttons go. After it resets try to send a text message again. If it does not work there is probably an issue with your carrier and you will have to contact them.
    As far as mail, do you have a MobileMe, Yahoo push, GMail push, or Exchange mail account? Because these are the only ones that will Push your mail to the iPhone. If you do have one of these make sure Push is turned on in the Mail settings. If you don't have one of these you can go to the Mail settings and specifying a mail Fetch period.

  • IPhone 4 not sending/receiving texts to/from non-iPhone

    Hello,
    I am on a shared plan with my mother. Thursday afternoon my mom updated our plan and suddenly my phone was not sending or receiving text messages to non-iPhones. iMessage is working just fine, thus I can only talk to people with iPhones. It fairly closely correlated to the IOS update so I updated my phone and that didn't help.
    I have tried resetting network setting, hard reset, toying with message settings, *228 options 1 AND 2 etc... and still nothing is working. Please help! I run a business and can not afford to not be able to be in contact with half my contacts!

        Hi s13021,
    Let's get your messages flowing again! Thanks for the doing the troubleshooting you have done so far.  I know that running a business with a fully functional phone is needed. I have a couple things for you to try. First, turn off iMessage, power cycle your phone and keep iMessage off; try sending messages. To run a good test, send the message to your self and please put "1" in front of your number. Also, another step to try is turn off iMessage, then reset network settings, then turn it on and try again. These have been some successful steps. Please keep us posted.
    Thanks, BobbyS_VZW

  • IPhone 5 will not send/receive texts in Europe

    I have an international plan activated via AT&T. On the last two trips I've made to Europe, I cannot receive/send texts to individuals using an iPhone who are located in the US. If I am on Wi-Fi the texts come through. Also, I can send/receive text to persons not using an iPhone who are located in the US. This has not been a problem an previous trips to Europe. Just started in Fall 2013.

    You would need to find out from AT&T if your international usage included a data plan. If you did not, then data roaming would need to be turned on for data to work. Double-check with AT&T on that part. But if data roaming being off, then you would not be getting data, therefore iMessage would not work unless you are on wi-fi.
