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).

Help!!! I can't receive or send text messages...only imessaging

TS2755 can't receive or send text messages

I just bought an iPhone 4 and can receive or send messages. What would be wrong?

If you have just bought the iPhone then unless the carrier stated that you would be good to go from the start, you usually need to wait 24-48hours for your sim to be activated. Contact your carrier if it has been longer than this amount of time. However, you also need to set up your iPhone on iTunes so make sure that you do that!!!

One of my contacts just recently went from an older phone to an iphone and my iphone us still sending text messages rather than imessages. How can i fix this?

I have tried switching the contact from mobile to iphone. I have also tried deleting the conversation from the message screen but nothing seems to be changing my messages to that contact to imessages.

Changing the label for the cell phone number has no effect on this.
You are certain this contact has registered iMessage on their iPhone and has iMessage turned on?

Iphone 4s-when wifi is off and I am away from my home connection can I receive and send texts and text messages? I want to keep my wifi off to limit data (email etc) to when I want to check it. Cellular is roaming"voice only" it says.Can I get texts?

When my wifi is off and I'm away from my home connection - it shows wifi off (unless I turn it on to check my email etc.) - and in the settings cellular it shows "voice only". Will I be able to receive and send texts in those settings? Or check voicemail. I had wanted to keep my email from coming in all the time and only want to check it periodically - so I turn ON my wifi when I want to check my email. But when my wifi was off away from home- I hadn't seemed to be getting my texts. So- do I need to keep wifi roaming connected when away from home to receive and send my texts in real time. (which is what I want) or am I still able to send and receive texts with my wifi off when I'm away from home. (When I'm home I am connected to my home data plan automatically through wifi and I get texts when I'm home - but I'm thinking I'm not getting texts in real time - is it because my wifi is off when I'm away from home? My cellular shows voice only when my wifi is off away from home. Am I doing it right to receive and send texts away from home? Or do I need to open up the wifi in order to receive and send text messages. I know that I would need to turn on wifi roaming - which will use data - for email checking or sending - as well as to use browsing apps and now I'm guessing to receive voice messages I may have missed? So do I need wifi on to receive texts too? Thank you - GregorySC

Hello GregorySC,
In order to send and receive SMS or MMS messages, you will need to have an active cellular data or Wi-Fi connection.
You will need these to send and receive iMessages:
An iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
iOS 5.0 or later
A cellular data connection or a Wi-Fi connection
A phone number or Apple ID registered with iMessage in Settings > Messages

Can't receive or sent text messages

Can't receive or send text messages

Thats nice. Thanks for sharing that with us. Perhaps you'd like to actually ask a question since presumably that is why you came here, yes?

Cannot receive or make call and receive or send text messages in areas where there is a high wifi signal.

Please help me. I just got my iphone 4 last february and it was working just fine. But recently, i am having problems with its phone features such as text messaging and call. Most of he times i have a full network signal yet i cannot receive or make a call, receive or send text messages. I have also observed that everytime i am in a wifi zone where its signal strenght is high, this problem always exists. There seems to be no problem with its other features...please help me anyone.

Wi-Fi has nothing to do with making/receiving calls, or sending/receiving text messages... those features only work over the cellular network.
Have you contacted the carrier to rule out network issues or swap out the SIM card to eliminate that as a possibility?
What about Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings?

My iPhone 5 has lost network coverage. Wifi is still ok just can't receive calls or text messages (iMessages are ok though? ). I've re set network settings but that hasn't helped.

I just got a new iphone 5 but cant send text message more than 1 person! I have group I just got a new iphone 5 but cant send text message more than 1 person! I have group message ON. Why this is happening? ON. Why this is happening?

I just got a new iphone 5 but cant send text message more than 1 person! I have group message ON. Why this is happening?

I'm having this EXACT same problem with my iPhone 4, and I have the same computer stats (I have a Samsung Series 7)

I can make calls and send text messages on my new iPhone 5, but incoming calls and texts still go to my old (non-Apple) phone. Is this a problem with the phone set up, or is it a problem with my old carrier or my new carrier?

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 am receiving Imessages but I am sending text messages I have Imessage turned on?

My fiance is sending me Imessages but whenever I message her back I send text messages and it only happens with her

Take the device to Apple for evaluation.

My phone (4S, iOS 6) will only send text messages instead of iMessage to one particular contact (iPhone 5). Why this? We are both able to iMessage all our other iOS 5 and 6 contacts!

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.

I can't receive or send text messages, other than iMessage
