I can call out but all incoming calls are going directly to VM with no signal that I missed a call or have VM. I can send/receive text messages from other iPhone/iPad/iTouch users, I am assuming this is really "iMessage." Is it apple software?
I have spent hours on the phone with Apple and AT&T. I went thought reset, on/off, etc, etc with both companies to no avail. Each company pointed fingers at the other....as being the source of the problem.
Problems: Suddenly ALL incoming calls were going directly to VM with no signal I missed calls and/or had VM. I was also unable to receive all Text Messages...Oddly, I could send text messages to anyone (even non-apple users but I could not receive their responses)........then I when I got home I started receiving text messages from other apples users ONLY. I assume now - iMessage kicked in and I could text (send/receive) other iPhone/iPad/iTouch users ONLY. ....yes, I could still (send) text messages to my husband's blackberry (he received my messages fine) but my phone would NOT receive his text respones.
Finally, I googled the problem and found this community where other people have had the exact same problems! One person said he "turned off 3 G" which was the solution for him....so I did the same and VIOLA! My problem solved! Nevermind the fact that I pay for 3G and cannot use it....so here's my question, if 3G is the problem on my phone is this an APPLE issue or a NETWORK problem? Do I purchase a new phone and slip in my same SIM card and hope the same does not occur or do I get a whole new SIM card and phone? What is the long term resolution to this problem?
I am happy however to find that my problem is NOT an isolated incident and wish Apple or AT&T had told me this is not so uncommon because I thought (based on the baffled response from Apple) that this has never occurred before. Where is Steve Jobs when we need him?
jsavage9621,
It pains me to hear about your experience with the Home Phone Connect. This device usually works seamlessly and is a great alternative to a landline phone. It sounds like we've done our fair share of work on your account here. I'm going to go ahead and send you a Private Message so that we can access your account and review any open tickets for you. I look forward to speaking with you.

I cannot send or receive text messages from other iPhone users. I don't get an error I just don't receive any messages and the other users do not receive mine.
Reset the devices: Hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go.

Can't receive text messages from other iphone users but can receive them from non-iphone users
I had to recently reinstall mavericks to my MacBook and suddenly I haven't been able to receive text messages from iphone users on my iphone. I can send them but not receive them. Recently I was able to receive a text from an iphone user who turned off his imessages before he texted me. That came through. Of course, this would be difficult to ask every iphone user i know to turn off imessages in order text me. I've also tried to turn off my imessage on my macbook, iphone and ipad and still can't receive them. Lastly, I've also tried resetting my networking settings and that didn't help either. Any suggestions???
I am having the same problem minus the fact that I don't have a Mac computer I just can't receive any messages from iPhone users and I can't turn my iMessage back on at all it keeps just turning it off every time I try to turn it on. any help would be greatly appreciated.

TS2755 Cannot receive text messages from other iPhone users.
My iPhone cannot receive messages from other iPhone users after updating to ios7. I do not have internet access on my iPhone. Sender tell me the message has failed.
If they are trying to send you iMessages, & you don't have any Internet access, the message will fail, as iMessage requires a data connection.

I can't send or receive text messages from non iphone users
I can't send or receive text messages from non iphone users
Under Settings - Messages, do it state Sens SMS ON? Should be (this applies to imessage but just in case).
Same area, MMS Messaging is on? Should be.
If all else fails, go into Settings General Reset - Reset Network Settings (this will lose WiFi info but fixes a lot of messaging errors). -
Can't receive group messages from other iPhones
Why can't I receive group messages from other IPhones? Apparently they can see mine, but I can only see the messages of the one friends who has a Andriod phone.
Your iMessage needs to be activated correctly. Try looking here:

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!
On both devices when you go to settings>messages>send and recieve how are poeple contacting you on each device?. e.g. email or mobile number.

Since last weekend (3-15-15) I have been unable to send/receive text messages with a friend who has Sprint service. The messages send with no errors on either side, but neither side is receiving the messages. It seems to be only this one person affected by this issue, everyone else that I've tried sending messages to has responded with no trouble. Is anyone else having any similar issues?
Retrohacker, Your text messages are too important to be missed! Let's figure this out, together. Are you able to successfully make and receive calls from your friend? Which phone do you have with us? Any new messaging applications or changes that you can recall on the phone since this issue began? Please share details so we can get to the bottom of this for you.

How can I fix the problem that one contact -- so far -- cannot send me or receive text messages from me on my iphone 4s (ios 6.1.3)?
Thank you ChrisJ4203. I checked to be sure SMS was turned on. I found advice to restart phone and to delete history. I restarted the phone and deleted all previous messages from that contact. He then received my last three messages, I got his reply, and we seem up and running. Thanks again for your suggestions.
