I am not receiving text messages and sometimes when I send texts it does not go through

Hi,
My phone is not receiving text messages and depending on where I am it also does not send, it gives me a message failure. Then if I send it as a text message instead of imessage it will go.
Any ideas how to fix it?

contact your wireless provider. txt messages is their service.

Try this:
On all impacted devices, go to settings, messages, send & receive and place a checkmark next to only those phone numbers and email addresses listed you want that device to recognize.
Good luck!

Launch iTunes on your computer, plug the phone in & on the "Summary Pane", select "Restore". This will restore the phone to factory settings with all of your son's stuff gone. You can now use it as an iPod touch. To do this REQUIRES the deactivated sim card be still installed in the phone.

Myself and my partner had a iphones. Since the recent software update he now randomly receives texts from my contacts and also when im sending texts. Is this because we share the same apple id. This didnt happen before the software update.

You can both share the same Apple ID for purchases but i suggest one of you use another email for the use of iMessage, Facetime etc.
It is easy to do, the easiest way is to set up an iCloud email directly from your iPhone. Once set up one of you will use this for iCloud services but both still use the existing Apple ID to make purchases.

Your only chance besides getting it serviced would be setting it up as new device:

2 iphones both receive same messages and sometimes phone calls. What causes this?

My wife and I both have iphones but we are receiving each others messages and sometimes phone calls even though different phones. What is causing this? Both phones registered under the same user. Means she is seeing my texts messages and vice versa.

If you are receiving imessages intended for other devices you can fix this by going to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and do one of the following:
Uncheck the email address shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at" on both devices if they are iPhones; or
On one of the devices go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the Apple ID, sign out, then sign in with a different Apple ID. Note: you can continue to share an Apple ID for the iTunes & App store for purchasing if you wish; it does not need to be the same as the ID you use for iMessage, FaceTime, iCloud and other services.

Saving text messages and pictures when resetting

I want to reset my iPhone to factory default because one of my buddies jailbroke it and I hate the jailbroken version. It's slow and annoying. Is there a way for me to save all of my text messages and pictures, reset the phone to factory default, and then put all the texts and pictures back on?

You can import the photos in your iPhone's Camera Roll as with any other digital camera and then transfer the photos to your iPhone via the iTunes sync/transfer process as with any other photos on your computer's hard drive that you want available on your iPhone for viewing.

The same does not apply to text messages. The only way to transfer text messages back to an iPhone restored with iTunes is to restore from the iPhone's backup, and you can't select which data that is included with the iPhone's backup that is transferred to the iPhone. It is all or none with the iPhone's backup.
There are 3rd party utilities that provide for extracting messages from your iPhone's backup for access on your computer.

I receive text messages that should include a hyperilnk but it does not show.

I receive text messages that should include a hyperlink for google map. For a while it was working fine. All of the sudden the link doesn't show in the message anymore. I thought they had stopped sending them but comparing the same message with another phone, the link was in that one.
Am I missing a setting or was anything changed with the upgrades that I don't see the links anymore?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

My phone won't send outgoing mail. Won't send some text messages and now when it's not on wireless and only 3g the internet won't load. Help!

These are ongoing problems. I really want to go back to my android. This moring the problem was sending outgoing mail. I have done a restart. I have cleared my cookies. Some text messages I have to send twice to non-apple phones. When I'm not on wireless and I'm on 3g there is no point in even trying the internet. Very disappointed in this phone.

if your having issue with your 3G service, then you should contact your cell phone provider as they handle cellular networks.
in the mean time you can try a reset, hold down the home/power button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for you phone to boot back up.

My brand new iphone 5 cuts out during calls all the time, doesn't send mt text messages and then when it does it sends them twice?! why?? is it just apple or my network provider? bearing in mind my iphone 4 did exactly the same, so its a new handset sim

Hi,
i have just updated my iphone 4 16gb to an iphone 5 16gb
The iphone 4 had horrific problems, for example: Cutting out on calls, it going silent, me not being able to hear the person i was speaking to and them being able to hear me, and then visa vera.. also the main button at the bottom started to break.. my text messages weren't sending and then when they did they would send several of the same one.. also with mixed messages in them.. some of the texts had been form ages ago and had been deleted anyway and bits of them would re appear in the middle of the text, but only show to the person recieveing the text.
I thought all of this might have been some water damage as i had nearly had it for 2 years... However on Tuesday.. ( 29th Jan) i recieved my new upgrade of the iphone 5.. i was so excited, but then today.. 2 days after recieving it, its starting to do EXACTLY the same things my old phone did... cutting me off, going quiet on the phone, not sending texts, then sending several ones... sending mixed texts. Safe to say i am fuming!!! i am with vodafone and rang them today asking why?! they said it couldnt be my handset as its a new one, couldnt be the sim because thats new too so it must be the area signal.. so she checked for me.. came back to me and said that the signal in my area is perfectly fine....?!?!?! that makes it even worse!!! so i have asked to return it....!! i was going to go with a different provider thinking that it was vodafone??but after looking on here it seems like its apple? i am very disappointed as i love everything else about the phone, but its impossible to have a phone like this! especially when i use it for work too!

My wife is having the same problems as a reciever. She works in a school as a teaching assistant and her teacher sends messages that are mixed with previous texts from ages ago.
Can anyone shed some light on this problem or is it only her and this poster?

Font changing size when i go to yahoo mail on my new netbook sometimes its ok other times it appears microscopic i have to close firefox then reopen and sometimes this works other times it does not work Why ?

this does not happen on any other site i visit only on yahoo mail.yahoo,s answer to the same question is we dont know reason maybe its firefox.

I have had that happen with Comcast web mail, too. You can't hold the Ctrl key and then use the scroll wheel to do certain functions in the web mail software. That function will work in the web mail software, but you will also change the Zoom factor of the page. You have to remember to '''''reset''''' the Zoom factor immediately, Firefox will remember the Zoom factor and use that until you reset it to default.

Moto X not sending or receiving mms via native messenger app, occasionally sends them, but does not receive them via hangouts.

I've had my moto x for roughly 3 weeks. It worked perfectly fine until yesterday morning, when it stopped sending mms via the native messenger app. Frustrated, I restarted my phone, only to discover that now the entire native messenger app not longer functioned. I switched to hangouts which will send sms messages, but only occasionally sends mms and will not receive them. I'm not sure what is going on. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Please make sure you have installed the update to 3.0, which recently came out... MANY bug mixes.

Firefox does not open, says it's running when trying to restart, but does not show up

Cannot get Firefox to visibly run. Will not open in safe mode and will not close (says its running when I attempt to shutdown or restart computer. Have uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled 8.0 several times and nothing has changed. Have scanned , defragmented, etc. computer and tried a couple system restores as this once cured similar problem with Firefox several months ago.

Bring up the Windows Task Manager, but look in the "Processes" tab for firefox.exe,
and close it from there, it won't do you any good looking for it in the "Applications"
tab when you don't see it on the system taskbar.
closing Firefox properly, and for when you just want to close and
restarting Firefox immediately, see more information in

My iphone 4 shuts off and won't come back on and sometimes when i send a text the other person gets a blank message. Just got this phone and really don't want to put up with a bunch of problems

I just got the i phone 4 on Friday and it has shut off and not come back on twice. I was able to get it to come on by holding the top button down for a few seconds but i don't want to have to do that. Also, i am having a problem with texting, i will send a text and the person on the other end says that I have sent a blank text. Just need to know if this is something that is going to continue because if so then I will take it back and get a Droid

Assuming the phone isn't jailbroken, the basic steps (as needed) are:
Restart phone (you already did this)
Reset phone
Restore phone in iTunes using a backup
Restore in iTunes as new, without using a backup
See appendix B of the User Guide for details
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPhone_iOS4_User_Guide.pdf
If your phone is jailbroken, this is the most frequent cause of the problems you described. Restoring could permanently brick the phone.
Note that your iOS is old and the current version is 4.2.8. It's odd that it wasn't updated when your activated your phone in iTunes, being that you got it last Friday.
