  • My iphone 5 for some reason can receive calls, send & receive texts but can not call out

    My iphone 5 for some reason can receive calls, send & receive texts but can not call out

    I am not sure if this issue is going to help you but lets give it a try.
    I know that where im from, which is the Netherlands, I am not able to sent e-mails from my iPhone or any other mobile device by using 3G or a random WIFI acces point. The provider only allowes you to sent e-mails when you are connected to a network of there own. Which means if you have provider "101" and your email settings are set up for this provider in your iPhone but your using the network of a friend of yours which is provider "202" you cannot sent emails from his network. Though you can receive them you may not sent.
    As I said, I am not aware if this issue is the same for you totaly depents on the country and provider your using.

    I have a Nokia N96 and i can recieve texts, but i am unable to send ones, i have signal and everything, i got told to make sure that there is a mobile phone looking number on the messaging center, if there is no one, contact my phone provider, but there is a number, and it still will not send texts. Is the mobile number in the messaging center, my actual phone number??
    Sorry i asked this on you discussion, but its soo confusing .
    The mobile phone looking number is what you call the message center number. Contact your service provider to get the actual one. Then, make sure that you have the same number updated in Messaging -> Options -> Settings -> Text messages -> Msg. centre in use.
    This is not your "actual phone number".

    I have a brand new iphone 5.. I can imessage and receive texts but can't reply or send new ones.  Any ideas?

    You can check this support document regarding troubleshooting Messages http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2755
    However, SMS is a carrier function. You say that iMessage is working, so I would contact the carrier since it is SMS is not working.

  • Can't receive SMS texts from non-iPhone users

    My phone suddenly stopped letting me receive texts from non iPhone users yesterday. Since then, I have powered my phone on and off, reset the network, and power cycle. My mother has been in the hospital and I have to be here with her all day. I have no time to go to a verizon store. I've only had the phone a week and I'm really disappointed with this. Seeing my mom is in the hospital, I really need this to be working, but I'd don't even know of something else to try.

        Ktoole, I can understand how frustrating this could be. How long has this been an issue? Have you ever been able to receive texts from non-iPhone users? Do you have iMessage on or off? Have you tried to restore the phone through iTunes?

  • Ever since I enabled iMessage on my Mac Airbook, I can no longer receive text messages from the iMessage people on my iPhone, only on my iMessage now!!  How do I get the messages to reach both iMessage and iPhone??

    Ever since I enabled iMessage on my Mac Airbook, I can no longer receive text messages from the iMessage people on my iPhone, only on my iMessage now!!  How do I get the messages to reach both iMessage and iPhone??

    We are suffering very similar issues when communicating from my iphone to a friend who has both iphone and iPad enabled.
    As long as I reply to an existing text chain, then it is visible on the target iphone.  If I SMS the phone number, it gets routed to the IPAD!!   And NO, I should not have to disable imessage when I want to send an SMS!!

  • Problem with non iPhone users receiving my text sent pictures. Can I make them smaller files?

    Problem with non iPhone users receiving my text sent pictures.  Can I make them smaller files? I know that is possible for email sent pics.

    My bad,  It was a Verizon problem.  When they upgraded my phone they were supposed to remove all blocks on messaging . Found out they did not do this.  All messaging now works.  Thanks for listening.

    Most likely your carrier has not enabled texting on your phone.

    You use Restore to get the latest firmware build, not the Update button. You can only use the Update button, if there is an iOS update, say iOS 5.1.
    this link talks about updating to 9A406 to fix the "No Service" issue with iPhone 4S:

  • Receiving texts but not sending or calling, networks fine.

    Present network, receives texts but doesnt send, call (sorry we are experiencing technical difficulites) and no internet (Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet) HELLLPPP
    I have rebootyed it and reset all network settings ect
    It is an iPhone 4

    Have you contacted your carrier?
    They can send a reset to your iPhone which must be powered off when this is done, so call from a landline.
    Or the SIM card may have a problem and needs to be replaced.

  • HT3529 can my daughter send text messages to non iphone users with only an apple id?

    Can you send a text message from ipod touch to non iphone users with only an apple id and no phone number?

    The Apple Messages app will only send Messages to another uses who has the Messages app on their iPod touch, iPad or iPhone. For Messsging an iPod touch or iPad you use the E-mail address they have in Settings>Messages>Send and Receive.  An Phone number will also be listed if they also have an iPhone with iOS 6 using the same Apple ID and yo can use the number.
    You can Message an iPhone by its phone number of the Apple ID email address listed in Settings>Messages>Send and Receive.

  • Says [Receiving Text] but they are blank

    I just downgraded my phone from OS 6 and all my text bubbles are blank but the date and time are there and in the front of every thread it says [Receiving Text] but have yet to show up. Has this happened to anyone else?

    I am having the exact same problem. It is driving me nuts because I have text messages that I need.

    Correct. That is how it works.

  • Can't send nor receive photos to/from non-iPhone users

    I have Metro PCS and I have unlimited data and ever since I updated to iOS 8, I haven't been able to send picture messages to non-iPhone users. I have tried everything I've found online and nothing works. It was working PERFECTLY before we updated to iOS8! I could send picture messages to anyone without any problem. The rest of my family, who share the same family plan with me, can send pictures just fine (they're all android users). However, my sister and I, who are iPhone 5s users, can't send nor receive picture messages. Every time we try to send a pic to an android user, it immediately says not delivered. It doesn't even try to send it. And it's not a problem with my data because I can watch youtube videos with my 4g just fine. I even turn off the Wi-Fi to test it out and it works well. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

    I'm happy that it works for you. It may not be an option for the OP. It certainly wouldn't work for me as I have a fair number of friends with basic phones. Again, Whatsapp is only viable as a replacement for SMS if everyone you want to message is willing to download and use it. If everyone the OP knows is not wiilling to do that, they may need to resolve their existing problem.
