I can only get or send text messages to other iMessage users
I am not able to receive text messages from people unless they are on IMessage. Several people have told me they have sent me texts but I am not getting them. Also, people are not getting my texts. This has happened since I got my iPhone 4s.
Yes contact your provider, you most likely do not have texting turned on, they can turn it off,mine is,I can only use i message but wanted it that way, because I do not care to have to pay for the messages people send me
with i message it is free

Can't get or send text message with ios 7.0.3 update
after installing ios 7.0.3 i can no longer send or recieve imessages. All my old texts are gone fromthe phone.
My wife and I were having same issue after upgrading to iOS 7.0.3. I called apple support and they said it was because we were using the same Apple ID for iMessage/FaceTime on both iPhones. I created a new Apple ID (just for iMessage/FaceTime) on my phone and it seems to have fixed my issues. Using original Apple ID on my wife's phone and mms hasn't started functioning for pics yet on that device. iMessage is working fine however. We always turned the email part of iMessage/FaceTime off, so I'm not sure why it started being an issue now. FYI, I was told that iMessage and FaceTime should use same Apple IDs.

Can I get the same text messages on both my iPhone and my iMac
can I get the same text messages on both my iPhone and my iMac
It seems that my Mac is getting them and they dont show up on my iphone.Hi julian KAYE!
You will want to make sure that both your computer and phone have all options checked in the “Start new conversations from” section in your Messages settings:
iOS: Using Messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3529
You can change the address that new iMessage conversations are started with in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Start new conversations from. Note that this setting applies only to new conversations. If you would like to change the address from which messages are sent, first change this setting, and then delete the existing conversation and start a new one.
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage

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.

I have an AT&T iPhone but only use wifi. Since I updated my phone to iOS 6.0 I cannot receive text messages from other iPhone users outside wifi range. What is the issue?
Check Settings>General>Cellular to be sure you have Cellular Data set to On.

We also tried to deactivate and activate iMessage in "Settings", but still it will only send text messages.. We have tried within wifi-areas as well.

Is there some way to remove her from my 'iMessage contacts list' (i.e. Not have the little blue iMessage bubble beside her phone number when I try to compose a new message to her)?
No, you can't. Your friend would have to do that. The fact that she has turned iMessage off should do this. -
New iphone can't receive or send text messages
I can't receive or send test messages. I tried turning airplane mode on and off. I also don't seem to have a data plan added to my service. I looked at my contract and it just shows family talk. I thought they automatically add this to iphone contracts.
It doesn't display an error message. It sends it out, but the recipient never receives it. I think the Best Buy person screwed up my service some how. She didn't sign me up for a data plan or a text message plan for this account. I was supposed to keep my same plan. It should still send texts though (at a higher non-text plan rate).

Me neither. It is really annoying. Did you ever get it figured out?

I can make calls and send texts on my new iPhone 5, but all incoming calls and texts are received by my old (non-Apple) phone.
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

I cannot send text messages to others not on my iphone4S.
Can anyone out there help me with this? I can send text messages (imessages) to friends with a newer iphone, but no messages come in or go out to those that are not on iphones. I tried every combaination of settings in the Messages area of the settings - and nothing works. i have checked with AT&T online, and my account shows I have full unlimited text on my plan - and it worked 3 days ago on my old iphone. Any suggestions?
Thanks!!!I have the same issue. AT&T members can't receive messages from me. This started for me back around June 9 while I was actually a Sprint user. Switched to Verizon on June 19, hoping to solve the issue. However weeks later, AT&T users still can't receive messages from me.
They can receive MMS, just not SMS. I receive message from them. It is affecting both Android and iPhone users. I have always had an Android device.
PLEASE HELP! -
