I can't send or receive text messages on 4s. Suggestions, please?

I have synced, restored factory settings, rebooted, removed and reinserted sim card.

Hi, I was having the same problem after upgrading to the 4s on Friday.  I could not send or receive texts. I called my carrier (AT&T) and they were able to fix it.  Somehow, my texting plan got changed to none and my data plan got changed too even though I didn't request a change to anything on my plan.  The AT&T rep was able to put me back onto a texting plan and now I can send and receive texts.  I don't know how I got dropped from a texting plan but at least they were able to fix the problem.
I would recommend calling your carrier and seeing if they can help.

    Can you send and receive text messages while in airplane mode?

    No. Regular SMS's require a cellular connection. However, iMessage will work in Airplane Mode, as all that requires is an Internet connection. You can turn WiFi back on while in Airplane Mode.

    I can't send or receive text messages from non iphone users

    Under Settings - Messages, do it state Sens SMS ON? Should be (this applies to imessage but just in case).
    Same area, MMS Messaging is on? Should be.
    If all else fails, go into Settings General Reset - Reset Network Settings (this will lose WiFi info but fixes a lot of messaging errors).

  • Can't send and receive text messages

    Hello,
    For around 2-3 weeks I can't send and receive text messages. When I try to text somebody, the message appears as "Not delivered". On the ! there are only 2 options: Try again and Cancel. If I choose to "Try again", the results is the same: the message is not delivered.
    When somebody is trying to text me, the message appears as delivered on their phone, but does not reach mine.
    Please advice
    Regards
    Irina

    Yes, I contact them and the problem was on their side. Now my problem is solved

  • After updating to IOS 7.0.3 I can't send or receive text messages. Everything is working and normal.

    After updating my ipad to IOS 7.0.3 I can no longer send or receive text messages. every thing else is working normally.

    I have the same problem since updating to IOS 8.3. Any app to which I want to send a new link via IMessage does not allow me to select a contact to send the IMessage to. Using a pre-existing thread does not have same problem.

  • Brand New Iphone 5c can't send or receive text messages of any kind!? I've tried everything, why does no one have a solution for this? There's no way we're keeping a phone that can't even perform one of it's most basic functions. Help!

    Got the new Iphone 5c from Verizon today and was really happy with the phone until we realized it is unable to send or recieve text messages AT ALL. We've tried everything, searched the internet for hours, I've tried live chatting with Verizon and Apple ALL DAY and somehow keep getting "disconnected" even though my internet is working perfectly. The phone is pretty much useless if it's unable to perform one of it's main functions and it's really dissapointing to add a line, get the phone, only to discover a major problem with seemingly no solution whatsoever. Is there any fix for this? Because a phone that is incapable of sending or receiving a simple SMS message is pretty much useless. It's too bad too because I really love the phone if not for that. Does anyone have a legitimate way to solve this problem? We've done everything, network resets, turning imessaging on and off, factory reset, etc. etc. etc. and nothing works. Please help.

        Hello Idkallday!
    I know your device sends and receives text messages! Let's get to work on this! Did you port your service from another carrier, or is this a new number? Is your previous device still powered on?
    I also want to ask if you are able to use iMessaging, and if you see any error message when sending?
    Please test it by sending a message to your own mobile number, and keep us posted!

  • I can't send or receive text messages on my iphone6

    My iPhone 6 suddenly stopped sending and receiving text messages. How do I fix it?

    Hi This is a problem with your network contact them. But first  try a Reboot press & hold power button & menu button hold both down until you see Apple Logo. You will not lose any data. Cheers Brian

  • Re: Can't Send or Receive Text Messages

    Same here, in west Tennessee.. for over a month now.. And, went from an old flip to the new Droid 4, but still no texting, send or receive. So I concluded it obviously was not the phone, and had to be "the network", to use their advertising phrase.. Still no texting, and it's a pain in the posterior.

    This is a first for me - ever. I am in 89131 and received no text messages for 2 days. I finally just rebooted my LG Extravert and wham! I received over a dozen messages! These are from numbers I always text. I was able to send text ok during this time - I think....but it's hard to tell. I never got an error message. I have been testing over the last hour and it appears that I have to reboot to get any new messages. I should not have to wait 20 minutes or more for something that took only seconds or minutes 3 days ago, so I don't think it's my phone. Please help. thank you!

  • Sending AND Receiving Text Messages on PC through iPhone without jailbreaking

    how can i send and receive text messages on my pc with my iphone number? i also would like these messages to still show up on my phone.  i know if the phone is jailbroken, wifisms used to work. is there anything for non jailbroken phones?

    Is there a checkmark by the phone number, or is it just grayed out? If there is no checkmark, then turn off iMessage, wait a moment and turn it back on. See if it activates. If so, then go to Send & Receive and you should see the checkmark. The phone picks up the number from your phone when it activates iMessage.

    With the Apple iMessage app, You can only Message with other iOS users - iPads, iPod Touch, iPhone users and Macs running Mountain Lion or higher. With your iPhone, you can send standard SMS text messages to any phone, including Android phones.
    The iPad cannot send SMS messages or receive them either.

  • Why can't I send and receive text messages on my new 5c ?

    Why can't I send and receive text messages on my new 5c ?
    I can send imessages. I can sometimes send texts. But I cannot ever send picture texts. and I am not receiving texts.

        Antny,
    Yikes, this is no bueno let's get these messages back up and flowing. Are you able to send out regular text messages ok? Ensure your Picture Messages feature is turned on, follow these steps: Settings>Messages>MMS Messaging. Also ensure Send as SMS is turned on as well. If these features are turned on then try this: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings then retest. Keep us posted please.

    Another thing you can try is to ensure that the setting for ( send as sms if imessage unavailable ) is turned on, this can be found in Settings : Messages. If this doesnt work you can also try changing the contact details to read mobile instead of iphone.
    That setting is not relevant to sending SMS messages to non-iPhones. It only affects what happens when an iMessage won't go through to an iOS device. And, what the phone number is labeled has no effect on anything. You could create a custom label "Rutabaga" and the SMS would still go through if the account was properly provisioned. Those labels are for human brain convenience only.
