I am having trouble receiving text messages after iOS7 update; anyone else know how to resolve this?

Before installing 7 I had no problem receiving text messages; now I am not receiving some people's messages unless I have my data turned on or wifi.  Does anyone know how to fix this?

I am having similar issues with my iphone 4S that didn't exist before I did the iOS7 update. The senders of the imessages believe their message was sent successfully however I may not receive it for minutes-days.
In my case (and probably yours), its' definitely an iOS7 problem rather than a carrier problem as it was never an issue before the update.
Two temporay ways to resolve the issue that I've found (though not cures) are:
1) double tap the home button and close messages from running in backgorund. restart messages and the screen freezes for a 10-30 seconds and a rush of messages may arrive shortly.
or
2) intermittently do a soft reset on your phone (holding home button and lock button down for 10 seconds until apple logo appear). When the phone restarts I get a rush of imessages that I should have received.
Hopefully Apple will recognise and resolve this issue. I'm feeling the same frustration as you are.

  • Why am I having trouble receiving text messages from only some people

    I have turned off my imessaging and only some of my contacts are having trouble sending messages to me when they have imessage turned on.  They receive a message that says Not Delivered.  Why am I having this issue with only some of my contacts? How can I fix this?

    Hi,
    I was quite specific about which .plist to delete as if you have no other issues it is pointless deleting the AIM or Subnet (Bonjour) or Yahoo ones as they will not effect the Jabber logins.
    Deleting the LLSharing list one only removes items from the Recent Lists in the File menu > Recent Items.
    The Status Messages one only deletes the Saved Status Messages you may have made for Buddy lists.
    Deleting com.apple.ichat.plist itself mostly messes up your Preferences and some menu choices.
    Try deleting com.apple.imagent.plist as this is involved with logging in the Accounts to the various servers.

  • Delays in receiving imessages and text messages after iOS7 update - iphone 4s

    Sending messages is never a problem (unlike a lot of issues I've read) only receiving, and the sender of the message is always notified it was sent successfully - even though i receive the sent message minutes to days after.
    Sometimes the messages are only received if:
    1) I tap the messages icon
    2) the screen freezes for 10-30 seconds
    3) I get a rush of new message notifications that say "2d ago" or "35 min ago"
    Any one else having the above problem? - Not happy at all with iOS7 performance on my 4S so far.

    its giving you a choose on device sign in with apple id or create apple id.  sounds like you are selecting create.  do this
    Hard Reset
    Press and hold BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    now choose sign in with apple id not create.
    Peace, Clyde

    julie@remax,
    I know that this would concern me just the same and we want to make sure that your device is connected and receiving these notifications when available. How long have you been having this issue? Are you receiving a specific error message when sending a message? Are you aware if this happens in one location specifically or everywhere you go? Does the issue with messaging occur with all numbers? Share some details, so that we may assist.

  • Unable to send or receive text messages after updating iOS to 7.0.2

    I am unable to send or receive text messages aftering updating to iOS 7.02. I have an iPhone 4S. I have run all the suggested troubleshooting still can't text. I have been to my carrier, AT&T, there is no issue with my account. AT&T suggested resetting the phone to factory defaults (thereby wiping it clean). I am trying to avoid that as I had issues with transferring data & contacts before. Any one have a work around?

    Look for a fix by Apple by the end of the week.....

  • Having trouble receiving texts from other iphone users since I updated my software

    Hi there,
    I am having trouble receiving texts from other iphone users since I updated my software to IOS7. Also I am unable to get i messenger to work, it keeps saying waiting for authorization. I am wondering if anyone else is having these issues and what I can do to fix it.
    Thanks,

    She turned imessage off, then turned it back on again and now it seems to be fine.  Not sure what she did, but she says she's ok now.

  • I have purchased my first smart phone. iphone 5. I want to use sounds sent to me in text messages as ringtones but don't know how to move them over. Any help would be appreciated.

    I have purchased my first smart phone, an iphone 5.  I would like to use some of the sounds from text messages for ringtones but don't know how to move them over.   Any help would be appericated.

    I'm sorry, had you already pointed out the rules which stated that lines from 2 separate accounts were eligible??? I don't see anywhere in the advertisement specifically stating that lines from 2 separate accounts would be eligible, so THAT is not what's advertised, either.
    As far as I know Verizon's BOGO offers have ALWAYS been for lines on the same account. Possibly someone could chime in where they have received this offer on 2 separate accounts? The ONLY exception to this was someone getting the offer with 2 eligible lines on their account, reactivating the old phone on one of the lines and then giving one of the new phones to someone on another account.
    Sorry if you think simply because someone disagrees with you, they are being condescending. That is certainly not the case. Good luck.

  • I dont receive text messages after the iphone update

    after i updated my phone software on my iphone 4, i am not able to receive text messages from anyone. and when i send one like regular, it says that the inbox is full, which is has never said that before. any idea when it is doing that?

    Are you having trouble with SMS messages (green)? Or iMessages (blue)? Or both? What happens when you try to send a message? What troubleshooting steps have you tried? Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears? Have you contacted your carrier to make sure everything is ok with your account?

  • Unable to send or receive text messages after apply s/w update on Q10

    After apply software release 10.1.0.4181 (size 6mb) on my Q10, I can no longer send or receive text messages, pls help. At first I thought the text messages were only collapsed, but I am unable to send, receive or open any previous chat. I have rebooted the device multiple times, including removing the battery. When trying to do a text message, system seems stuck on the last message received yesterday, and am unable to open this chat session, reply, compose. I cannot compose for any contact, nor able to receive any text messages. PLs help !!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I removed my battery again, this time left out for 5 minutes. SMS is now working again. (previously approx 2 min)
    However, the problem I was experincing, I have had before, where I cannot send an sms message. I believe I may have hit a hot key and basically does not allow you to send a message. Typically I reboot at this point and sms works again. I will try your new os option after I verify all is working properly again.  Thank you for your help.

  • Cannot receive text messages after switch from iphone

    After more than 2 years on an Android, my family convinced me to try an iPhone. After one week, I decided to return my iPhone and go back to Android. Now I cannot receive text messages from anyone using an iPhone. It thinks I'm still using iMessage.
    I have already talked with Verizon customer service and unregistered my number from both Messages and FaceTime via my computer. Please help! This is extremely frustrating!

        Appreciate the update plurrykid,
    Knowing you are starting to receive them is good, but certainly we want you to receive all of them, not just random ones.  I know it’s important to get them up and running as soon as possible. It will usually take Apple 24-48 hours to un-register you completely; if it has not been fully done, what you can try is resetting your Apple ID  password here http://bit.ly/1kwc2va . Since  you will be changing your password and the original device which still has iMessages on, will not be aware of the new password for them, it will revert to text messages. Let us know how it goes.

  • Having trouble receiving texts

    I am an iPhone fanboy I will admit but the recent occurrence possible missing texts is causing me to question my Apple Preference. I seem to be having the most trouble receiving texts from Verizon customers as a friend the other day inquired as to why I never respond to his texts. I fear the answer is because I do not get them in the first place.
    Is anyone experiencing any similar problems?
    Any help would be wonderful, thanks.

    I had a similar problem with pics from Verizon customers.
    The person sending me the pics updated his Verizon software and all was fine.

  • I cannot receive text messages after upgrade

    I upgraded to the new and exciting ios 5 and I instantly stopped receiving text messages and received and error saying i was over the limit and had to delete some messages.  I've sliced and diced my messages and only have a few left...I haven't received the messages I should have received throughout the day. Anyway to get those back?? I'm sure they are out there somewhere in space. Thanks!    

    Try restarting you iPhone by holding down the on/off and the home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo. 

  • Cant receive text messages after update

    Updated my phone last night and now I can't receive text messages. I can send them but not receiving them. I share my account with my wife and I was receiving her text messages. When I go to iMessage, I can't select my own number. It is grey and not checked, but won't let me check it. I sign out of my account, and sign back in, and it shows the number checked when I sign in, but is not checked in the iMessage settings.

Which model device do you use? How about her device model?
