Having trouble receiving texts

I am an iPhone fanboy I will admit but the recent occurrence possible missing texts is causing me to question my Apple Preference. I seem to be having the most trouble receiving texts from Verizon customers as a friend the other day inquired as to why I never respond to his texts. I fear the answer is because I do not get them in the first place.
Is anyone experiencing any similar problems?
Any help would be wonderful, thanks.

I had a similar problem with pics from Verizon customers.
The person sending me the pics updated his Verizon software and all was fine.

Having trouble receiving texts from other iphone users since I updated my software

Hi there,
I am having trouble receiving texts from other iphone users since I updated my software to IOS7. Also I am unable to get i messenger to work, it keeps saying waiting for authorization. I am wondering if anyone else is having these issues and what I can do to fix it.
Thanks,

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.

I am having trouble receiving text messages after iOS7 update; anyone else know how to resolve this?

Before installing 7 I had no problem receiving text messages; now I am not receiving some people's messages unless I have my data turned on or wifi. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I am having similar issues with my iphone 4S that didn't exist before I did the iOS7 update. The senders of the imessages believe their message was sent successfully however I may not receive it for minutes-days.
In my case (and probably yours), its' definitely an iOS7 problem rather than a carrier problem as it was never an issue before the update.
Two temporay ways to resolve the issue that I've found (though not cures) are:
1) double tap the home button and close messages from running in backgorund. restart messages and the screen freezes for a 10-30 seconds and a rush of messages may arrive shortly.
or
2) intermittently do a soft reset on your phone (holding home button and lock button down for 10 seconds until apple logo appear). When the phone restarts I get a rush of imessages that I should have received.
Hopefully Apple will recognise and resolve this issue. I'm feeling the same frustration as you are.

Why am I having trouble receiving text messages from only some people

I have turned off my imessaging and only some of my contacts are having trouble sending messages to me when they have imessage turned on. They receive a message that says Not Delivered. Why am I having this issue with only some of my contacts? How can I fix this?

Hi,
I was quite specific about which .plist to delete as if you have no other issues it is pointless deleting the AIM or Subnet (Bonjour) or Yahoo ones as they will not effect the Jabber logins.
Deleting the LLSharing list one only removes items from the Recent Lists in the File menu > Recent Items.
The Status Messages one only deletes the Saved Status Messages you may have made for Buddy lists.
Deleting com.apple.ichat.plist itself mostly messes up your Preferences and some menu choices.
Try deleting com.apple.imagent.plist as this is involved with logging in the Accounts to the various servers.

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.

I am having trouble sending text messages. They aren't always going through. And sometimes I'm not receiving text messages. I also have voicemails that I didn't receive until late at night that were left early in the day. I need to resolve this issue ASA

julie@remax,
I know that this would concern me just the same and we want to make sure that your device is connected and receiving these notifications when available. How long have you been having this issue? Are you receiving a specific error message when sending a message? Are you aware if this happens in one location specifically or everywhere you go? Does the issue with messaging occur with all numbers? Share some details, so that we may assist.

Having trouble receiving Yahoo mail on iPhone 6 sending mail is no problem?

Having trouble receiving Yahoo mail on iPhone 6 sending mail is no problem?

Any chance you use two step verification on your Yahoo account? If you've ever had to enter a code that was text messaged to you when you log into your Yahoo account on a new computer, then two step verification is probably on.
If that is the case, you'll have to generate an app specific password in the Yahoo web mail page and enter that as your password on your Apple Device instead of your standard password in Mail Settings.

On each devoce Look at
Settings > Messages > Send and receive from
Make sure these settings are correct.
Then look at MMS in the same area. Male sure MMS is turned on and check to ensure your carrier included MMS in your cellular plan.

bucks3,
Thanks for the additional information! Are you connected to WiFI when this happens? What happens when you try sending an email? What email account are you having issues with? Have you tried removing the email http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/knowledge-base-78089/ and adding it back?
