How come when I look at my text messages, my contacts' phone numbers appear instead of their contact names?

If you're with Verizon, here's what I found on the boards:
Dial *228, press 1 when the nice lady answers and wait until she tells you your phone has been successfully programmed.
Then hang up, and press the home key twice rapidly and delete the open/running apps that appear there - delete from that second screen, NOT from the Dock at the bottom of your home screen! You don't want to delete the programs, you just want to close the open/running apps.
Wait 5 minutes or so, then voila! Mine was fixed!

How come when I try to open an app on my phone does the screen just blink and the app not open?

How come when I try to open an app on my phone does the screen just blink and the app not open?

Some apps crash. If they do, try this, in order.
1. Double click your home button and put your finger on any app and hold for a second. Then delete that app. You're not deleting the app from your phone, so don't worry. Then try opening the app again.
2. If that doesn't work, hold your sleep+home buttons for 10 seconds and don't let go. Ignore the power off message. Then try again.
3. If that doesn't work, delete the app and re-download it. (This will work most of the time)
4. If that doesn't work, download the app on iTunes on your computer and sync it from there.
5. If that doesn't work, wait for an update by the developers.

When you are viewing the test message with the picture in it, press and hold on the picture itself and it should vibrate and pull up a menu with the options of "View Picture", "Save Picture", and "Share Picture". Choose which one you want.

How come i can't see my text message history

when i go to my text history i cant see my old text. but it says i have text messages sent and recived

I believe you can only see the current months detail. I believe if you go look at older invoices, the info is gone
BRB
I can see three months of info. Log into your account, choose View Bill.
Choose The Usage Detail tab and then one of the last three bills from the drop down menu.
Then choose messaging.

TS2755 How come I cannot send or receive text messages from one of my contacts yet I can call the person from teh same number?

I have tried to send a text message to one of my contacts but it is never received and I am told they have sent me texts that I have never received. We both have the correct tel numbers in the contact info. The message shows as sent in green. Any ideas why or how to fix this. I already have the most up to date iOS in the phone (iPhone 5).

Contact your carrier. SMS messaging is completely reliant on the carrier.

Why can't I receive text messages from certain phone numbers?

I cannot receive a text message from one particular number. We have both checked our phones to make sure we had not blocked each other, which we didn't. She also is a verizon customer but has an android while I have the iphone. She can receive my texts but I cannot receive her reply.

Hi Coggin. Sounds like you and your friend started in the right direction to find out why her messages aren't getting to you. Budone has a great suggestion to make sure she doesn't have your number stored with a 1 in front. That can actually cause the Android phone to have trouble sending the message to your number correctly. Since you are able to send with everyone including her and she is having trouble sending to you, that tells me it's more likely something we need to look at on her end. Is she getting any error message? Are you the only one she has trouble sending to? Has she ever been able to send you a text before? If she has, when's the last time it worked? Is she using any third party messaging applications from the market? I know that's a lot of questions, but they'll help me get you up and running with the answers.
Thank you

Is there a way to bar text messages from certain phone numbers?

I keep getting junk text messages and would like the ability to treate text messages from certain numbers as junk. I think this is an increasing issue and it would be great if messages could bar the SMS or move them to a junk folder like email. It would also be useful if this could be linked to iCloud and the barred list shared amoungst users.
Does any know if this functionality exists already?

The only way SMS's can be blocked is through your carrier, there is no other way. So, contact your carrier to see if they offer SMS blocking.
Note: In the US, SPAM SMS's are illegal.

How come when every time i open ff i have the same 2 tabs instead of the one I choosed in my options

'''''texte en gras'''''
in "option internet" & "general" & i chose "new tab" for my home page, but every time i open firefox i have two tabs that loads, one is the tab i asked for, but another one creep in there, it is an old web page where i downloaded something from there after installing firefox, i don't know if it is because i went to that site right after dowloading firefox 6.0 it is like the web page stuck there with my home page and i tried everything but nothing works...
please forgive my english, i am not bilingual yet...thank you

Another user had a second tab opening and it was caused by one of his extensions.
You can check for nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the Add-ons page and click one of the links as the last step.
Does that get rid of the extra tab?

How do I get rid of the text messages on my phone for good?

After I delete the texts I can't recieve incoming messages? I can only recieve those messages after I restart my iphone but then all the older messages I had just deleted come back.

If you wish to delete a whole conversation, then you simply go to the left side of the conversasions panel and slide your finger to the left. If you wish to delete only a few, then hold the bubble until it has a few options come up, chose more than choose delete. That wil not delete the text from the other persons phone, you are not able to do that wothout taking there phone. Hope that helped

Text messaging only displays phone numbers even though party is in contacts. Why?

Hi. When I receive a text, the display only shows the person's phone number, not their name. These people are in my contacts. Is this a setting that I've missed? How can I have the phone display the name instead of the number?

Are you with Verizon? if you are from your phone hit *228 to update.

How come when I try to install a free game my phone asks for Verification Required before I can Purchase when I am trying to install a free game?

If you have a credit card on file on top of your gift card then it is asking you to confirm the security code for the card, which for a Visa or MasterCard is 3 digits located on the back, or AMEX has 4 digits on the front. This happens just to ensure that you are the account holder, and would happen from time to time whether it was a free or paid app, even if you have a credit through your gift card. This doesn't mean that your credit card will be charged.

You need to reconfigure your phone for use with your Apple ID. I suggest you restore yours as new then reconfigure it with your information and Apple ID. Be sure to disable Find My Phone, if it's enabled, before proceeding.

Green messages are SMS messages sent to non-iOS devices or iOS devices that do not have iMessage enabled. They go through your carrier and count towards your SMS limit, if any.
Blue messages are messages sent to other iOS devices (Iphones, iPods, Ipads) and Macs through Apple servers and are therefore not SMS charged by the carrier.
