HT201263 My IPhone4 won't send text message to anyone.

My Iphone won't send text message to anyone. It always say fail and give me a red sign. I already reset it and turn it of and back on. It won't give me a number to choose from and will give me my email account. I call sprint and they say that my IPhone4 is a detective phone/don't work. I was wondering if anyone knew how to fix it?
It always say waiting for activation and what is SIM
Everything on my IPhone4 work but my message.

This is probably a carrier issue; have you talked to Sprint about this problem? Your complaint was truncated, so it appears to say a "conversation open" at the end. If this is the case then the device is sending text messages, and the other party is receiving them. If this is occurring then it sounds like a problem with the receiving party or carrier.

Droid X Won't Send Text Messages

My Droid X won't send text messages to one of my contacts who also has Verizon when I am in North Carolina. I can send her picture messages from NC but everytime I try to send her a text I get a message saying "text not sent". I can receive messages from her but cannot send them. I don't have any problem when I am at home in Virginia but in North Carolina it won't send my messages. I don't think it is a problem with my plan or coverage bc I can send messages to everyone else in my phonebook, she is the only person that my phone won't send them too. It makes no sense to me. HELP!!!!!

I am also having issues with my Droid Ultra. I get some messages from my wife, while others do not come through.I can verify this by looking at her phone. This has been happening past few days. I also have noticed that a pop up stating that messaging suddenly has stopped working. Please advise!

The first thing you should do is contact your carrier and make sure that your account is properly provisioned to send text messages.

New iPhone 5s/iOs7 Won't Send Text Messages to 4s/iOs 6.1

Hello,
My husband got a new iPhone 5s (iOs7) yesterday and when he sends a text message to my 4s (iOs 6.1), I don't get it. On his screen, the texts from him are blue. If he holds down the message and sends as text, I get them, and on my screen they are white.
I did do a bit of research and tried resetting the network settings and turning on SMS but it didn't work at all.
Can anyone give me a hand please? The poor man has been dealing with a belligerent, messed up Android phone for months, waiting to get this iPhone and now we can't text each other :-P Is this something we will have to live with until Apple fixes it?
Thank you,
Gina

So strange. I receive texts in established chat threads but if I try to start a new conversation, it gets bounced back as "not delivered". I'm facing a future when I may have to revert to talking to people on the phone again. Help. Please.
Which type of messages are you having a problem with, iMessages (blue) or SMS (green)? Or both?

Mac Messages app won't send text message when in a group message

When I'm in a group message with an iphone user and an android user it always sends as an iMessage, and the android user never gets the message. Even when it says "Text Message" in the text box it still sends as an imessage. This sometimes happens on my iPhone, but not every time. When I message the android user separately on my mac it sends as a text. I've never been able to send a text in a group message on my mac though. I have to end up sending messages separately to the android user. The android user used to have an iPhone, but I've checked his phone number on this website https://selfsolve.apple.com/deregister-imessage and it says his phone number isn't registered to iMessage. He's also said he removed his phone number from his iPad. What could be causing this?

Hi,
If you add a Land Line number to your own Address Card in Contacts (Card Menu > My Card) and then type your name in to the "To" spot in Messages on the Mac you will see the Land Line also listed as a potential iMessages contact number.
That is to say until it contacts any number the number involved will show a greyed out iMessages listing next to it.
For this Screen Grab I somewhat forced the issue to isolate my Land Line.
In the top bar it is listed as a potential iMessages contact.
As I have pressed enter it has gone a stage further and told me it is not Registered.
Whilst iMessages contacts that have worked are marked with a blue Speech Bubble for iMessages SMS/text ones have a green Indicator that says Text (as opposed to the AIM or Jabber or Yahoo listed ones)
A less forced one
An iPhone is listed first.
The options are then the Land Line and then two email addresses both of which have been used before.
I too have noticed that trying to send an SMS text messages to a Number does not seem selectable on the Mac version (Click and hold and "Send as SMS" is not an option)
Hopefully this can be set up so the app can recognise Non iPhones in some way.
I have yet to find a way to start an SMS conversation from the Mac.

Full service but won't send text message

My iPhone has been doing this for about a week. I'll have full bars and I try to send a text and it will going about 3/4 of the way and sometimes send but most of the time it'll say message send failure or whatever and I always restart my phone but it still does it. Anybody know what's going on?

First thing to do is make sure your SIM card is sitting in the tray securely. You can use a straightened small paperclip to pop the tray out. If that doesn't help, bring the phone to AT&T and let them know you're having troubles and ask for a replacement SIM to see if that gives you any improvements. If a replacement SIM doesn't work, head to an Apple store and have a Genius take a look.

IPhone 5 not working with data or won't send text messages

Is it possible to get my phone replaced by verizon, my phone is not usable right now and I need it in case of emergency. On my LCD screen you can also see thin blue lines throughout; it looks like it is getting worse, is there anything I can do about this??

Wow! Have not heard of an issue like that before! Let's get this figured out! Is the touchscreen responding to your touch? When did the lines appear? Does the phone have any signs of physical or liquid damage? Use think link to determine if it does, there is also a way to view the Liquid Damage Indicator in the phone http://vz.to/1xbpcqs

Tried to send iMessage from iPod touch (5th generation) but continuously says "contact not registered with iMessage". The contact IS registered with iMessage, but won't send any messages to anyone.

I have an iPod touch 5th generation (7.1.2) that has not been sending iMessages to other iMessage users. At first my iPod would not let me sign in to use iMessage, but I searched on different discussion boards that helped me log in. Now the trouble is not being able to send messages at all. I tried to delete the contact I was trying to message and restart the conversation board, but that didn't help at all. The contact continues to say 'xxxxxx not registered with iMessage" when, in fact, they are. I need help to resolve this issue.
Thanks

IPhone 4S does everything apart from send text messages

Yesterday my new 16GB iPhone 4S arrived and I upgrade my simcard from normal sim to micro-sim. Since using it, it can do everything related to data (internet, iMessage etc.), it can make calls and receive texts but it just won't send text messages (red exclimation mark after a few seconds of sending) and I don't understand why. Ive tried turning iMessage off and sending it that way, still with no luck. I find his extremely strange as I can receive text message perfectly fine (in green bubbles, so they're definitely not iMessages). I've phoned O2 but they don't think it's a fault at their end. The only thing they can think of is if their masts are down. Yet I have a friend on the same network sending text messages without fail.
Hopefully someone can help as this is driving me nuts.

You're welcome.
Then call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

IPhone 3GS won't send texts anymore!

I have an iPhone 3GS, and since I upgraded to iOS5 it won't send text messages! I have plenty of service, but I can't send texts. The bar will get close to the end, but never say "message sent". I've rebooted and reset everything already multiple times and it STILL won't work. I turned off my 3G and it STILL won't work. it's driving me crazy! It never did this until I upgraded the software. someone please tell me how to fix it!

If you've talked to your cell provider, to verify nothing is wrong on the account provisioning end, the next step would be a device "restore". This would be the logical next step to take after "reboot and reset".

New iPhone won't send texts/make calls

I broke my iPhone 5s a week ago, so I called *228 to put my number on an old iPhone 4 that my friend had so that I had a phone to use while I waited for my new one to come. My new phone is here and i have all my contacts on it as well as my apps, but it won't send text messages or make calls. I can't even call *228. I was wondering what I need to do so that this new phone is associated with my number again. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Restart the phone by holding down the top/power button and the Home button at the same time until the device restarts.
Log on to your My Verizon account and select "Activate Device".

ARe you provisioned by your cell provider to use MMS?
Last option is to contact your cell provider as MMS is a carrier feature.
