I can't receive group messages from iphones

I just upgraded to a Sony XPeria Z3 and was assured that I can receive group text messages sent by iphones. I started a group message with two iphone users and am not able to receive their messages within the group, but they can receive mine. Is there a setting I need to enable? Both of them turned on SMS and group messaging on their iphone. Thanks!

Hi there! I'm using the Verizon Messages+ app that came downloaded on my
phone. I just tried testing it out in safe mode and I still couldn't
receive someone's response. The only effective method I've seen work so far
is when I go onto my friends phones, delete any messages I have been in
previously, delete my contact, restart their phone, re-add my contact and
start a new group thread. But I can't tell everyone in my contacts to to do
that.

  • 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:

  • Can't get group messages from iphone user

    I use to be able to get group messages from an iPhone user when I was using my Razr Maxx but switched to an iPhone for a couple months, then back to the Razr Maxx and now I can't get group messages from my iPhone users. I'm using the same text message service I was using before trying an iPhone so I don't know why I now can't get group messages.

  • I can't receive text messages from iphone users

    For some reason I am unable to receive text messages form iphone users with my new LG G3 phone?

        Hi Kessler,
    Congrats on your new device! Text messages are an important feature, so lets get this fixed. Please make sure that your previous iPhone device is no longer registered http://bit.ly/1eec6Qc to receive iMessages. Once completed, please remove/add the sim card to your new device http://vz.to/1t3TnMR .

  • 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.

  • I can't receive text msgs from Iphone users-what gives?

    Hi,  I have had this issue for weeks.  I have been trying to find a solution through t-mobile but so far I still can't receive text messages from Iphone users. It is across the board.  I know about 5 people with Iphones and I can't get text messages from any of them.  Does anyone know why?  By the way, they all can receive my text msgs, no problem, but I can't receive theirs.  Is it because I don't have internet service on my blackberry?  But my friend who has an old Nokia phone with no internet capability receives texts from Iphone users, no problem??  Please help.  
    Thanks! 

    Sounds like you are on the right track. But dealing with carriers is, well, frustrating at best. And inconsistent. If you get a CSR that says they can do nothing. Hang up and call back...until you get someone who can really help.
    And maybe try different paths into support -- for instance, on the BIS login page for VZW, there is a number listed there that is different than any other of their support numbers. I had a problem with BIS once, called there and they got it fixed within 5 minutes. My account rep and other CSR's had been telling me that there was nothing they could do. So persistence wins out.
    Best.

  • I cant receive text messages from iPhone users to my android phone

    I recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy S5 after owning an iPhone 4s. All my contacts transferred but now I can't receive text messages from iPhone users to my android device. I read that I have to make sure that my Apple id is totally deleted. How do I do that?

  • IPhone 5c - can't receive group messages after updating to IOS 8.0.2

    I have an IPhone 5c and I updated to the IOS 8.0.2 yesterday afternoon and now I can't receive group messages. I have rebooted my phone and reset my network settings along with turning IMessage off & on, turning group messaging off & on.
    Does anyone know of a fix for this?

    Ok.  Just got off the phone with Applecare.  We finally figured out what my problem was.  Before iCloud, I had a .mac account.  So, my phone had two email accounts, 1. iCloud 2. mac.com accounts.  Applecare had me delete completely both accounts from my phone, leaving no mail accounts at all.  Then I added a new iCloud account.  Put in my email address and password, then everything worked from there.  Sounds simple.  Good luck to the rest of you.  Hope it's the same fix.  And a big "thank you" to Xavier at Applecare.

  • LG Revolution not receiving text messages from iphone user

    I am not receiving text messages from iphone user, sporatically.  The messages are showing as reveived on Verizon website in usage detail, but not being received on my phone.

        This issue needs fixed asap! I have a few suggestions that should help you get this resolved. If they are showing up in the usage details, that means they are hitting the Verizon network, but for some reason they are not showing up on the phone.   I recommend clearing the cache from your messaging/text messaging programs. Go to settings> applications> manage apps> all> Messaging/Text Messaging> Force Stop/Clear Cache/Clear Data. Erase the old text threads that you have saved and retry.
    If that doesn't work, please let us know the following:
    1) Do they come in delayed or not at all?
    2) Do you have any 3rd party messaging apps installed?
    3) Do they have any problems receiving messages from you?
    4) When they're sending messages, are they directly to you, or do you have this problem when the iPhone user sends to a group of people?
    Thanks for the additional info! I'm sure we can find a fix.

    I CAN NOT RECEIVE TEXT MESSAGES FROM PEOPLE USING IMESSAGE

    On an iPhone your iMessages will go to your phone number.
    You can select another email to use on iPod or iPad.
    Go to settings
    Messages
    Send and receive
    Check your phone number and uncheck the common Apple ID you share so your messages will not go to other devices.
