I can't receive International SMS... Why???

Here's my story,
I've been sending my friends SMS in other countries (Australia & Indonesia), but I never got a reply from them. Turns out that they got the SMS, but it is my phone that can't receive their SMS.
I can do domestic SMS, it works fine, but not international.
I've restored the phone, reset everything, I even called AT&T, they tested, and it works fine. Well, since we're in the same country (again, domestic SMS works fine).
Do you guys have any idea on how to fix it?
Thanks,
TRD

I had this exact same problem while in Africa, I couldn't receive any SMS from Indonesia but could receive them from other countries. After much research and head scratching, we discovered that it's the Indonesian carrier that caused the problem. I don't recall which carrier was involved but you can ask the sender to try it with a different phone/carrier to see if there's anything wrong with your end.

  • Can't receive international SMS

    For some reason I don't receive international SMS. Particularly from Russia. The funny thing that my correspondents receive my SMS but I don't receive from them. Is it known issue? Does somebody experience the same?

    Pctower, I can appreciate the inconvenience you are having with international text messaging. Text messaging is a vital form of communication especially with people in foreign lands. Since you have switched phones, have you been able to receive international text messages from any one else in any other country? Do you have trouble receiving domestic text messages? Are you having any other device issues?
    Have you tried to reprogram your phone? If not here are the steps to do so: dial *228 hit send> choose option 1.
    An alternative option would be to program your blackberry on the account> test with the Ukraine> then reprogram with Droid 2> then retest with Ukraine and Droid 2.
    You can program the phone by going here; http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/profile/
    You will see "activate new phone." Click on the link and follow the steps.
    Taking these measures will resolve your issue. I hope this helps.
    Thanks.

  • Can't receive International call which is on saved...

    I hope someone can help me with this problem.....
    I have a BT phone that has automatic barring of certain  types of calls (withheld numbers, etc).
    However, I do not have International calls barred as my brother lives in France and I did not want him to run the risk of being barred.
    He is also in my saved list - his number starts 0033 for France then his own number.
    If I call him from my saved list it connects ok (i.e. the number saved is correct).
    However if he calls me from the same phone his call is barred - it is not shown in the display as one of my saved numbers AND it gets barred as an International call despite this feature not being used.
    To be honest I don't want to get two different problems mixed up here so if someone could just tell me why he isn't being recognised as being in my saved list despite the saved number apparently being correct, then that would be a start.
    Can I also mention that my other saved numbers (i.e. UK numbers) all come through ok and are displayed accordingly.
    rrsvp with any ideas please....!
    Solved!

    International caller display has not yet been implemented by BT, which is why you are getting the problem.

  • Exchange server 2013 - cannot send / receive external emails - we can access owa -we can send/receive internal emails

    Exchange server 2013 in Windows server 2012 VM
    It was working fine then start the issue.
    Firewall is managed externally and the last report said:
    "I checked the firewall logs, which shows traffic being allowed through port 25 from 10.10.10.10 to 4.28.237.225: Log Number 116 Last Activity 2014-08-28 23:48:33 Status [accept] Src 10.10.10.10 Dst 4.28.237.225 Service SMTP Policy ID 1 Src Port 64081
    Dst Port 25 While I showed one log, there were multiple log entries showing the same: traffic being accepted through port 25 from 10.10.10.10 to 4.28.237.225.
    Can you verify that the mail server is set up so as to allow port 25? "
    Today I was able to telnet the server from home: successfully

    Help me please. This is my first admin chaos...

    Hi,
    Is there any update with your issue?
    If the CAS and Mailbox servers are collocated on the same server, the SMTP Receive connection for the Transport service will listen on 2525 instead of 25. If you install the CAS and Mailbox on the same server, please make sure that port 2525 is open.

  • Curve 9300-can't received any sms almost 2 weeks...please help me

    I am facing a problem from my curve 9300, that i never received any kind of sms since last 2 weeks. Firstly i thought it caused from my sim card but if changed to another handphone it was totally received.so, what is the problem of my smartpone and what is the best ways/solutions that i can fix it back to normal condition..tq

    Write a method that returns a new array that is a reversal of the original array
    When I read that i assume you need a NEW second array. Then all you need to do is copy the last element of the parameter into the first element of the new array and then return it.
    public static int[] reverse(int[] a) {
        int[] rev = new int[a.length];
        // code to copy values
        return rev;
    }

  • Can't receive internal requisitions

    Hello,
    I have an issue receiving an internal requisition into a organization....i'll try to explain it with the next example....
    I have 3 organizations...A,B and C
    A, creates a internal requisition to B, but inside the internal requisition, it says to send the delivery to C....
    So the requisition is imported to OM and B processes the information updating the status line to 'INTERFACED'.....
    So when i log in to C and I try find the delivery number in the C organization it says there are no records that match your search criteria....
    my question here is....is it possible to do this? that company A creates a requisition to C????
    I would appreciate your help....

    i think its misuderstood...let me explain again pls....
    Organization A creates an internal requisition to B, so B import this requisition and creates the Order Sale....the information is processed but B is not going to send the # delivery to A to make the receipt, the # delivery is sent to a third organization, in this case letter C....
    So, when we sign in the C organization to make the reception, we got the message i mentioned......
    Is this possible??
    If it is, do you know what should i do to make the receipt in organization C....

  • OS 10.4.11 can find my internal modem, why can't OS 10.5 find it?

    My G4 meets all the technical specs to run OS 10.5.
    PowerPC G4 (2.1) running at 933 MHz with 512 MB of memory.
    And OS 10.5 installs without a hitch. But it can't locate my internal modem!
    And, yes, for the duration of my unemployment, my internal dial-up modem is my only access to the Internet, and to System Updates, and little things like that.
    Here are the specs on my internal modem:
    Apple Modem V.90 "Spring" Serial
    Hardware Version: 7.0F
    Firmware: Apple Version 0007, 7/31/2000
    Driver: com.apple.driver.AppleSCCSerial (v1.3.0)
    I have looked for firmware and driver updates, but perhaps I missed something.
    I feel like y'all have been Raptured, and I have been Left Behind!

    Good thinking, Mr. Paycheck! (And thank you for your interest in this admittedly behind-the-times technical glitch.)
    I inherited my OS 10.5 Install DVD from my folks, who also ran a PowerMac G4. It's the original Install 10.5.0 DVD, rather than an upgrade disk, I think. (But I will double-check with them, to ascertain that.)
    The DVD is unscuffed, and verifies itself just fine. But, as you point out, maybe the DVD was composed with a different iota of hardware in mind. Does Apple do that? Does it make commercial sense to print up a different 10.5 disk for, say, a G4 with a different internal modem?
    The Apple moves in mysterious ways.

  • TS2755 can I receive an sms from a non iphone on my iPad

    I have been reading articles in this web page trying to find out if it is possible to have my friends send me a test message from their non-iPhone to my iPhone and have that text routed to my iPad so that I may read it.  Then if i want, send them a reply on my iPad, which will in turn sink to my iPhone and send it out.  Is this possible or is there another method? Please note that I have an iPad which is Wi-Fi only and this activity would only happen when the iPad is linked to a Wi-Fi signal.

    Unless the iPad has a cellular data connection, there is no such functionality on iPads.
    iMessage is NOT an SMS message... it does not rely on cellular data, it uses any data connection available.

  • Not receiving international text / sms on iPhone 3G

    Hello,
    I have just moved from Australia to the USA. I brought with me an unlocked iPhone (originally through Telstra in Australia) and it now runs on AT&T. I have no issues with voice, voice mail, data and local SMS / text.
    But, I can't receive international SMS / text.
    I can send texts to Australia and they are received. However, when people in Australia reply to them they never get through.
    I have a Palm Centro on AT&T here and it receives texts fine from Australia. The iPhone sitting next to it doesn't. It is infuriating.
    I have spoken with AT&T and they believe everything should work.
    I have other friends on AT&T with iPhone and they are able to receive international SMS.
    Is it the iPhone's problem? Is it AT&T? Is it the carrier in Australia (Telstra)?
    HELP!!!
    Thanks,
    Andrew Woodward

    OK, after many hours of wading through this....
    I was able to receive from two different carriers in Australia tonight.
    Here's what I think the issue was.
    When you sign up as a new customer, international SMS isn't automatically included.
    But on the AT&T iPhone customer account page on the web, you can't add international SMS.
    It is only when you ring them and tell them you want it, they can adjust their system there.
    There may have also been some back end technical issues.
    Anyway, problem solved.

  • Failed to received any SMS after upgrade to OS6

    Hi there, I wish somebody could help me on this, since I've been calling CELCOM few times already, but the problem still there. 
    3 days ago, i just upgrade my 9700 to OS6. Before upgrade, for SMS I've been use 3rd party apps : CRUNCHsms, After upgrade, seem like i received a few SMS since the notification at my BB screen showed it. But I cannot open the sms because it been said there that CRUNCHsms can't operate in OS6. So, i just removed the apps.
    The issue here is, my phone still can't received any SMS even after i removed the CRUNCHsms apps. I've tried to send test sms to my own number and few of my friends, and what happen is, my friend can receive the sms from me, but my own phone cannot receive any sms. I tried to take out the simcard and put it to another phone, and It can work normally which is no problem with send-receive sms.
    - I can't received any sms but i can send sms, after i upgrade my bold 9700 to OS6.
    I really wish that somebody can help me to solve this issue, since it has been 3 days i can't received any sms. 
    thank you
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hello,
    Have you checked your security settings? Crunch SMS automatically switches on your firewall to make sure it routes the SMS messages the correct way.
    Go to Options>Security>Firewall and disable it, also make sure there are no ticks next to Text messages, PIN etc...
    Then pull your battery out and it should resolve your issue
    Hope this helps
