I can't send messages but I can receive them

I can't send messages but I can receive them, is it an iOS 7.0.3 issue or Verizon Wireless? Also not receiving data

Hey Bonaccio,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with Messages on your iPhone 5. The following resource may help to resolve your issue:
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2755
I also understand you are experiencing issues with your cellular data connection. These two issues may be related, so definitely give the steps in this article a go:
iPhone: Troubleshooting a cellular data connection
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3780
Follow the instructions below for assistance with troubleshooting cellular data issues on your iPhone. After performing each step, please test to see if the issue is resolved.
1. Toggle airplane mode: Tap Settings, turn airplane mode on, wait three seconds, and then turn off again.
2. Restart your iPhone.
3. Ensure that your software is up to date:
          - Check for a Carrier Settings Update. Tap Settings > General > About.
          - Check for an iOS Software Update. Tap Settings > General > Software Update. Note: Some updates may require a Wi-Fi connection.
4. Remove the SIM Card and reinsert it. Allow the iPhone to acquire the network again.
5. If your SIM card has SIM PIN enabled, try toggling it off: Tap Settings > Phone > SIM PIN.
6. Try another location. If a different location works, but the original location still does not, contact your carrier to report the issue.
7. Reset network settings: Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
8. Restore the iPhone as new.
9. Contact your carrier to:
          - Verify that the iPhone is properly set up on the account with the appropriate, current data plan.
          - Verify that there are no account-related blocks.
          - Find out if there are specific error messages in the carrier logs that could help determine why the issue is occurring.
If none of the above steps resolves the issue, contact your carrier, make an appointment at an Apple Retail Store, or contact AppleCare to troubleshoot further.
Thanks,
Matt M.

IChat can send messages but doesn't receive them(5.0.1)

Hello there. My iChat 5.0.1 doesn't allow me to receive messages from anyone but allows me to send to them. I've tried re-starts of the application and computer but to no avail. This problem just showed up recently and I had no problems after updating to 10.6.2.
Any help would be totally appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi,
Have you changed you router or modem recently ?
iChat Loins by Default on port 5190 using the TCP Protocol
It also uses port 5190 on the UDP protocol for File Sending and Pics in Chats and some Group chats.
Some modems and router do not like this dual se of the port and it pays to log the Screen Name out and go to iChat > Preferences > Accounts > Server settings and change the port to 443
Also check in iChat Preferences > Alerts
Change the top drop down to Receive IMs and then check the Apple Script Option is not active and using Auto-Decline.

I can send text messages but I cannot receive them! Can anyone help?

On my iPhone, I can send text messages, and other people receive them, no problem.
But when people send me texts, I never get them. What is going on, and what should I do?
Frustrated,
Dave

I'm having the same problem. I came from Verizon, and activated about an hour ago. I got the 2 free text messages from AT&T and can send, but not receive. My friend who transferred from TMobile on Friday night had the same exact problem. He had to call a number, and have them fix some thing in his billing that was not correct. I am trying to get the number from him. It is an AT&T thing.

My phone can send text messages but won't receive them.

My fiancé and I are also having this issue. He has a droid X and I have the lg env 3. We can send texts but don't get texts until about 2 hours after they are sent to us. However.. We can speed up the process by sporadically making phone calls.. If we suspect someone has replied to our texts.. If we call each other or voicemail or wherever.. It pushes the texts through whatever is holding them back and we can then receive them. We have full bars and I did shut off my phone, take out the battery and then put it back in and turn it on. Hopefully you can help?

I have an apple mac pro I can send emails but i cannot receive them from anyone

I have an apple mac pro, I am able to send emails , but not receive them? I have tried deactivating and deactivating my account but so far no joy, any ideas would be most helpful.

Hello, sadly Apple pays more attention to iDevices Mail than Mail for Macs.
In Mail's Window Menu, choose Connection Doctor, any red dots for status, if so what is the message?
Then click the Show Details button & Check again.

I can send emojis but when i receive them it shows up just as an empty speech bubble. How can I fix this?

Emojis won't sh up on a received text on my 5c

You don't.
There is no set standard for how emojis are coded and sent.
It varies by OS or app used.

I am able to send text messages but im not receiving them

So bought my phone today and Im not too sure if im missing something but I have had people texting me and not receiving any of them but they are getting my messages. I have also received messages from telus so dont understand why im not getting messages from friends. Can anyone help :-(

Also take a look at this article:

Under the section, If you still can't send or recieve SMS or MMS messages.
Which also has a link to the iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant for Calls and Connection Issues:

Why won't my phone send text messages but I can receive them?

I have the iphone 5 and I updated my phone to the ios7. Within the past few days I have not been able to send text messages as imessages but I can receive them. When I try to send a message it will freeze at 95% and it wont go through. I even have 5 bars and I am connected to wifi when I send them. I reset my network settings but there was no change. Is there a way to fix this? A few of my friends have also expereinced this problem.

From my original reply, "Why did you change your SIM card?" Did you change carriers, was there a problem with the original SIM, did you change plans?
The iPhone has no settings for SMS. SMS is a carrier feature, call them back and have them check the provisioning on your account. If this SIM change caused the problem, it has nothing to do with the phone.

I just purchased a note 3. Everything works well except I cannot send text messages. I can receive them, but I get an error message when I try to send them

Can anyone tell me why I cannot send text messages on my note 3? I can receive them, but when I attempt to send them I get an error message unable to send . . . It's a brand new phone.

Congratulations on your new phone, Nonaleigh.
We would love to get to the bottom of your message mystery.
I'm guessing you are getting the error for all messages you attempt to send, is that correct?
What type of phone did you upgrade from? We ask because if you have switched from an Apple device (e.g., iPhone) to a non-Apple device (e.g., Android, Blackberry, etc.) and previously used the iMessage service, you may experience issues sending/receiving SMS/MMS messages with Apple device users. You need to deactivate the iMessage service within your Apple account to restore normal SMS/MMS functionality.

I,am unable to sent photos in messages but can receive them. Help

The SIM question/issue is separate from all of the others. Your iPhone will not access the cellular newtwork until you install a new SIM. The current SIM has been deactivated and is now useless. Get a new SIM, install it (or have it installed), then have your carrier grant the iPhone access to the cellualr network.
