HT4993 SMS won't send

Hi,
so I have an iPhone 4S 64gb on Sprints network. well for some reason today, 8/1/2012, I was unable to send regular SMS messages. when I send an iMessage it sends from my apple ID. The really STRANGE part is, is that this only happens when I am at my house. I have 2 iPhones on my account and my other phone sends just fine to regular SMS people. When I leave my house, it does the same thing until about 10 mins and then it works just fine. When I try to send SMS at my house, it has the red circle with the ! in the middle of it, which is really weird. Any help is appreciated. I did go to the Apple store and they said they didn't know, so they gave me a new iPhone, got home, it does the same thing. I originally called Sprint and they told me it was Apples fault and that they are the ones that I need to talk to. I didn't think that was true, but at the same time, everything works as soon as I leave. Any thoughts?
- Justin
btw, I am running iOS 5.1.1

    Jayy389, I want to make sure that every part of your phone is working correctly. As others have stated, a block could possibly cause messages not to go thru. Let's try a few other things first. Dial *228 option 2 and reboot your phone. If no change, reset network settings http://bit.ly/RWB8pS. Let me know if the problems persist.

  • IMessage stuck sending, won't send as SMS

    I have iMessage, and I know other people have it that I have tried to message, but it gets stuck as "sending" as iMessage and won't send as SMS even tho I have that turned on.  I have tried it with a few phones, different carriers , and they all have the same issue.
    Is there any way around this?

    i have been having this issue A LOT lately. its on and off for me. when it happens i put my finger on the message you sent and hold it there and a pop up will show up just above it. then it offers to send as text. thats all you can do for now. it doesnt auto change to sms when it should. i am figuring its one of many oddities with ios7? never had an issue with it before but i dont know. hope this helps

  • IMessage not working won't send SMS either

    iphone 5S won't send messages to iPhone 4 running iOS6 (with all updates).   macbook pro, mac mini, both 10.8.5, iPad
    Same apple ID--always worked to send messages within the family to different phone numberts when we both had iPhone 4.  I put send as SMS when iMessage not available and it didn't work either. The settings all seem right as far as sending/recieving from each device and texting works to other numbers from the iphone 5s but not from the 5 to the 4---but the 4 CAN send messages to the 5S.  I cannot send iMessages from my Macs to the 5S.
    Help!

        Let's get this data under control. Are you using WiFi? Have you considered using our Family Base feature. How much data has your phone used?

    Hi, I am wondering why my iphone won't send pictures through messages, I have MMS on and I have tried sending it with 3G on aswell and still doesn't work. Someone please help me :)

    Hey lozza567,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues sending MMS messages. The following resource may provide a solution:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2755
    Issues with sending and receiving MMS
    You will need these to send and receive MMS:
    - An iPhone 3G or later.
    - iOS 3.1 or later.
    - A cellular data connection. MMS isn't available if you are using only Wi-Fi.
    - A domestic MMS plan from your cellular provider. You may need an international messaging plan to send MMS to an international contact. Contact your carrier for more information.
    - A roaming MMS when using a cellular provider's network different from your billing cellular provider's network. Learn more about roaming and contact your carrier for more information.
    To resolve issues with sending and receiving MMS, follow these steps first
    1. Go to Settings and turn airplane mode off.
    2. Go to Settings > Messages and turn MMS Messaging on.
    3. Go to Settings > Cellular and turn Cellular Data on.
    4. Go to Settings > Cellular and turn Data Roaming on if you are roaming on a cellular provider network different from your billing provider's network.
    5. Verify that you have a cellular data connection in the status bar at the top left of your iPhone.
    6. Go to Settings and turn Wi-Fi off. Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify that you have a data connection. Turn Wi-Fi back on to continue using Wi-Fi for other features. If your cellular data connection isn't available, follow these steps.
    7. Verify that you can send and receive SMS. If you are unable to send and receive SMS, see the "Issues with sending and receiving SMS" section, above.
    8. MMS may not be available while on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn more about which network your phone supports.
    9. Restart your iPhone.
    10. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
    11. Reseat your SIM card.
    If you are still unable to send or receive MMS, follow these steps
    1. Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
    2. Go to Settings > Messages and turn on group messaging if you are sending a group message.
    3. Make sure that you are using the area code with the contact's phone number. When sending messages internationally, you also need the contact's international code.
    4. Verify a "Pay as you go" MMS plan has enough available balance. Contact your carrier if unsure of your MMS plan or available balance.
    5. If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
    6. If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and re-create the contact from the Contacts application. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
    7. Back up and restore your iPhone as new.
    8. If your carrier has recently ported your phone number, the porting process may not be complete. Contact your carrier to confirm that the porting process is complete.
    9. Contact your carrier to verify that you are provisioned to send SMS and are in an area with cellular coverage.
    10. Contact your carrier to verify that there are no blocks or filters placed on your wireless account preventing you from sending SMS.
    11. Your carrier may require APN settings to be modified to use MMS. Learn more about when you should adjust APN settings.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • I have a brand new iPad newest version. Wifi. The messaging won't send out but I receive messages from others. What is wrong?

    I have the newest version of the iPad (3rd generation) with wifi. The messaging won't send out but I'm receiving messages from others when I'm using it. They also come through on my iphone at the same time. But I can't send them out on the iPad. I tried someone's suggestion of changing the DNS to 8.8.8.8 and that did not work to fix it. What is wrong with this thing?  Thank you in advance for your help.

    Are you trying to send a message to a cell number or an email address?  iPad does MMS, not SMS, meaning it can't send a message to a number.  It can send a message to an email address........

    Settings -> Messages -> do you have "Send as SMS" ON?
    If not, then your messaging app will be restricted solely to Apple's iMessage service, which only works between iOS devices.

  • My phone won't send or receive texts. Does anyone know why?

    Does anyone know why my phone won't send or receive texts? I've updated my phone numerous times.

    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Beyond that, SMS is a carrier feature.  Contact the carrier to troubleshoot.

  • Imessage won't send or receive messages?

    I've been having a bunch of trouble with imessage. It won't send or receive messages 75% of the time when I'm trying to use it. I've reset my network settings multiple times, restarted my device multiple times, and logged out and back in. My wifi is fine. Everything else works. Except imessage.

    Hi IssiHerondale,
    Here is an article for you that will help you troubleshoot this issue with iMessage:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2755
    If you can't send and receive iMessages
    You will need these to send and receive iMessages:
    An iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    iOS 5.0 or later
    A cellular data connection or a Wi-Fi connection
    A phone number or Apple ID registered with iMessage in Settings > Messages
    To resolve issues with sending and receiving iMessages, follow these steps
    Check iMessage system status for current service issues.
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and make sure that you registered iMessage with your phone number or Apple ID and that you selected iMessage for use. If the phone number or Apple ID isn't available for use, troubleshoot iMessage registration.
    Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify data connectivity. If a data connection isn't available, troubleshoot cellular data or a Wi-Fi connection.
    iMessage over cellular data might not be available while you're on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn which network your phone supports. If your network doesn't support simultaneous data and voice calls, go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi on to use iMessage while you're on a call.
    Restart your device.
    Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
    If you still can't send or receive an iMessage, follow these steps
    Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
    Make sure that the contact you're trying to send a message to is registered with iMessage.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and recreate the contact in the Contacts app. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
    Back up and restore your device as new.
    If you aren't receiving iMessages across all iOS devices
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive on each iOS device and make sure that you signed in with your Apple ID. You must use the same Apple ID on each device.
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By iMessage At and make sure that you selected each phone number and email address you want to use with iMessage.
    If you linked a phone number to your Apple ID with iMessage and the phone number hasn't appeared, followthese steps.
    Sign out of your Apple ID in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and Settings > FaceTime on all devices.
    If you're linking a phone number to an Apple ID, sign in to iMessage on your iPhone first. Then sign in to the rest of your device one by one with iMessage and FaceTime.
    If your iMessages didn't transmit as SMS when iMessage was unavailable for use
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send as SMS and turn on Send as SMS.
    Select your phone number when Sending iMessages in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Start New Conversations From.
    Make sure that you can send SMS with Settings > iMessage turned off.
    Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

  • TS3406 Help my iphone won't send or receive texts!

    I have just purchased a new iphone 5s however it won't send or receive texts?? I can make and receive calls and the internet is working fine, any one got any suggestions how to fix it? Thanks

    Are you trying to use actual SMS with non-iOS devices. If so, SMS is a carrier funcation and you would need to contact your carrier. If you are trying to connect to iOS devices, that is an iMessage, and you would need to go to Settings>Messages and see if iMessage is turned on and activated.

  • Blackberry Curve 9300 won't send or receive BBM messages

    Hi
    I have a blackberry 9300 and it won't send or receive any BBM messages for some of my contacts. When I send a message it shows the tick without a "D" or "R" over it and I can't receive messages from some of my contacts. They also can't see any updates I do like status update, display picture update, etc. My BIS is activate because I can go onto the internet and I can use Whatsapp, the problem is only with BBM. I have tried deleting and sending service books but it hasn't worked. I also deleting my contacts and re-invitign them again but that also doesn't work. My last resort was deleting BBM and downloading it again, it also didn't work.
    PLEASE HELP!!!! 
    Be Afraid! Be Very Afraid!

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    SMS is a purely voice-level service provided by the mobile service provider, and not technically a component of the BB-level services. Hence, you need to work with your formal support from your mobile service provider to resolve this. If you are paying them for SMS services and they are not delivering them, then they need to resolve that. If they need enhanced assistance, they can formally escalate to BlackBerry for that...but you cannot.
    Good luck!
