HT3529 I can call and send iMessages off my phone but not texts?

I can't send texts and I've tried contacting Vodafone

Wifi:  my Cell phone will remember 10 wifi connections.  So delete any you don't use often and your home wifi and try to enter home wifi again.
if it still won't connect to home wifi, call your internet provider for help.  You may need a newer router or different settings Or upgraded service.   Your phone seeks the best connection and will refuse lesser connections.
last resort.  Backup the phone.  Do a full reset, then restore as new with the backup.
if still not fixed, go back to apple and insist on repair or replacement.
HOWEVER.   voicemail is not a wifi issue, it's a carrier function, which is why the SIM card is a suspect.

  • I can't send SMS but I can recieve it' and I can recieve and send iMessage just fine

    I can't send the first text. And when I try I get the could not send message

    can always try a reset on network settings. i suggest writing down any wifi passwords you expect to keep,
    and go to SETTINGS>GENERAL>RESET>RESET NETWORK SETTINGS. no this will not cause you to lose any data on your phone other then your wifi passwords.
    btw you question makes no sense. you cant send or receive, but you cant send imessage just fine?
    also make sure you are entering phone numbers correctly.

  • When is there going to be a select all/delete all option in email? I need to search for certain emails and delet them from my phone but not my email program (Outlook)

    when will there be a select all/delete all option in Emails? I have a large number of emails that come to my phone which i dont want to delete from my outlook mail account (On my PC). However, i want to be able to search, select all and delete these emails from my phone? I do not use ICloud either as it causes issues with my calendars at work.
    These features should be a standard as there are plenty of other users out there that are trying to do the same thing and as yet there has been no progress? The email on the iphone is one of the biggest downfalls of the phone, blackberry and android handle them much better, but i dont have an option with my phone at work. Please help??

    No one here would have any idea when or if such a feature would be introduced until and unless Apple announces it.

  • I can ping and browse shares on time capsule, but not make backups from other location connected with MPLS?

    Hi
    We have just bought an Apple Time Capsule with 3TB of storage, to make backups of our users macbooks. It works fine at the office1 where it is located, but from our other office, time machine backup doesn't work. The offices are connected through a 100Mbit MPLS connection with no firewall - everybody in office1 can see everything at office2, and vice versa. The users at office2 can ping the time capsule, and they can also browse network shares on it.
    The only thing that doesn't work, are time machine backups.
    The only difrence I can imagine is, that the the machines at office2 are on a different IP subnet, that is being routed through the MPLS connection.
    Is there a problem with the AFP perhaps? SMB and ping works fine, my guess is, that AFP doesn't like the fact that the clients are on a different subnet than the time capsule. But what can be done about this?
    Best regards
    Peter Bak

    Thanks Linc ......you were right on the money. Your help has been awsome. I spent 3 hours last night doing stuff with out any solutions. May I ask you another question if you have the time and patience please. My orriginal setup was 2 windows laptops with XP on them connected with a timecapsule attached to a router. Hence the time capsule made a wireless signal aswell as being an external hard drive. On one of the laptops i have a printer attached to it which was shared so that the other computer could print documents through the network however the computer attached to the printer has to be on. Do you know what i have to do so these new 2 mac book pros can print to that printer? Thanks again for all your previous help. Nick

    since i updated my Apple ID with correct email address I can now only send imessages to email addresses and not iphone numbers - any idea how to fix this problem ?

    You might want to try contacting Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click See All Products and Services>iTunes>iTunes Store>Passwords & Security Questions>Lost or Forgotten Apple ID password.  They should be able to explain what's going on and help you reset the password for the old ID if necessary.  The call should be free.

  • I can make calls and send text messages on my new iPhone 5, but incoming calls and texts still go to my old (non-Apple) phone. Is this a problem with the phone set up, or is it a problem with my old carrier or my new carrier?

    I can make calls and send texts on my new iPhone 5,  but all incoming calls and texts are received by my old (non-Apple) phone.

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • I downloaded an app off the store which said it was free and part of the 5 year promotion. I've been charged for the app by the store. I don't want the app and there's no one to speak to about it. Who can I call and how can I get the app off my phone?

    You cannot call anyone.  You contact them as everyone else does:  http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    You delete the app as you do any other app.  Hold an icon until they wiggle.  Tap the "x".  This is covered in the manual.

  • Why can't I call out when I'm in Mongolia? I can receive calls and send and receive text messages.

    I'm currently in Mongolia and can not call out from my iPhone 4S using a Mobicom SIM card. I can receive calls and send and receive texts. I use my regular SIM card from Canada and it works fine. It worked fine 6 months ago.

    Having incorrect APN settings shouldn't be stopping text message from coming though. But to get the correct APN setting just delete any APN profiles on the device. And the EE ones should just get installed but you can just to make sure use the link that has posted.
    You don't need a online account to top-up unless your using the account to top-up through.

    Bad mistake. You shouldn't have used your Apple ID on his phone. And you made it worse because now the contacts are gone, as you deleted them from your phone, they got deleted on iCloud. Your husband should have his Apple ID.
    There is really no way of recovering the deleted contacts unless you backed up using iTunes and even then you will only be able to recover those contacts that were on a call list. Read here:
