HT4528 Iphone stuck on sending a text message.

My IPhone 4S is stuck on sending a text message. It just reads sending and nothing happens nor can I receive any text messages on my phone. I have restarted the phone 4 times, tried turning messages on and off, tried switching back and forth between airplane mode, etc. Nothing works. Any help would be appreciated.

Did you try to remove the messages app from the multitask bar and then reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again?

my iphone 4s isnt sending/receiving text messages. when i try to open messages it just says "messages" at the top and then it is a blank page underneath. all of my previous texts were also erased. i updated to IOS 8 2 days ago but the problem just started today.

detti,
Text messages are a vital part of a working phone. We encourage you to reset your device. Please back everything up via iTunes or iCloud. Then go to Settings/General/Reset/Erase All Content and Settings. This will reset the phone and correct anything that maybe causing the issue.

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 cannot send international text messages

I have an iPhone 4. Since day one that I bought the phone, I have not been successful to send international text messages. The procedure for sending an international text message is simple: enter 011, followed by the country code, and then the phone number. It has never worked. Each time, I get the following error message -- "Message Send Failure". Any ideas for fixing this problem?
What surprises me most is that I have an HTC Trophy with the same Mobile Service provider. No problem exists with the HTC Trophy for sending international text messages.

I never had problems sending international text since my first 3g iPhone and neither with the 4. The only problem is that international txts are too expensive, I recommend you to use Skype or other app that can send texts.

IPhone won't send cellular/text messages to other iphone

So, I'm out of data and I had no wifi either. For all my contacts that have iPhones, messages recognised this and switched it from iMessage to just message. Except for one contact. Even though I had sent that contact text messages before, as well as iMessages. I have no idea what hapoened or how to fix it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I had this same problem. I could send group messages to people that had iPhones, but when ever I tried to send a group message to people that don't have iPhones, it would never go through. I was searching and searching for an answer, and I finally found it.
I went to the Settings --> Messages --> Group Messaging
Turn OFF Group Messaging
Doesn't make sense, but it worked for me. Hope it works for you too.

HT3529 iphone wont stop sending repeating text messages

My phone is sending out the same text message to the same person every hour for 2 days now, and I need help stopping this?

If the text message bubble is green then this SMS text messaging would be a carrier issue, call your carrier and let them know duplicate text are firing off.
If the message bubble is blue on your text messages, you are having a problem with imessage which would involve Apple if that is true.
Trouble shooting imessage ---->. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2755
If you believe its the iphone sending messages on its own, you may want to backup your information and restore your iphone as new.

Iphone 4 (ios7) randomly sending blank text messages to my contacts

My iphone 4 is sending empty text messages to a subset of my contacts. I am not initiating these messages. It happens everytime i boot my phone and also a few times during the day,
I've changed my apple id...and that didnt help.
I disabled the emails that I can be reached by using imessage.
I dont know what else to do.
Any help here would be appreciated.
I am wondering if a 3rd party app has access to my imessage and contacts?
Thanks!

Try rebooting ur iPhone ( by holding the home and the sleep buttons for like 40 sec )
Or try to connect ur iPhone to iTunes and restore it and active it as a new iPhone ( cuz backups may contain some bugs)
Hope it works

TS4268 iPhone users can no longer send me text messages now that i've moved to a non-iOS phone. Can iMessage service or Message users be refreshed to see me as a normal text message recipient?

I still have an iPhone, but haven't turned it on for weeks. And there's no SIM in it, so no cell service, just WiFi. When I turn it on after a prolonged period of having it off (weeks), a bunch of messages popup that should have been forwarded to my new phone (same phone number and carrier as when I was an iPhone user) but appear to sit in iMessage queue indefinitely instead.
I'm guessing it has to do with the link that's made when an iPhone first realizes that it's talking to another iPhone and defaults, for all future texts, to iMessage. You know, the green to blue switch. How does that association get undone?
Has anyone else seen this, and if so, is there a fix?

your number can remain on the imessage server for some time

When I send a text message from my iPhone response only comes back to my iPhone . If I send from iPad, response only comes back to iPad. Whichever I used last is where response comes. Responses are not coming to both anymore! Please help?

When I send a text message, daughter's iphone records as also sending.

When I send a text message, daughter's iphone records as also sending. I have an iphone 4 and she has an iphone 5. We both recently updated to ios 7. This problem did not happen before the update.

Go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and tap to clear the check mark next to your phone number on her phone and her phone number on your phone. That should stop the dual posting.

You are only as young as you feel......
This is an example of how you can select the exact content that you want to sync to your device. You do not have to sync the entire iTunes library. You can pick and choose the music, apps, books and so on that you want to sync. This is using music as an example.
Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Music Tab on the right.
Click on only the albums or playlists that you want to sync.
Click on the Sync Music Heading.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
You can do this with apps, books, movies .... Whatever .... You have the freedom to sync whatever you want.
