I cannot receive text messages after upgrade

I upgraded to the new and exciting ios 5 and I instantly stopped receiving text messages and received and error saying i was over the limit and had to delete some messages.  I've sliced and diced my messages and only have a few left...I haven't received the messages I should have received throughout the day. Anyway to get those back?? I'm sure they are out there somewhere in space. Thanks!    

Try restarting you iPhone by holding down the on/off and the home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo.

  • Cannot receive text messages after switch from iphone

    After more than 2 years on an Android, my family convinced me to try an iPhone. After one week, I decided to return my iPhone and go back to Android. Now I cannot receive text messages from anyone using an iPhone. It thinks I'm still using iMessage.
    I have already talked with Verizon customer service and unregistered my number from both Messages and FaceTime via my computer. Please help! This is extremely frustrating!

        Appreciate the update plurrykid,
    Knowing you are starting to receive them is good, but certainly we want you to receive all of them, not just random ones.  I know it’s important to get them up and running as soon as possible. It will usually take Apple 24-48 hours to un-register you completely; if it has not been fully done, what you can try is resetting your Apple ID  password here http://bit.ly/1kwc2va . Since  you will be changing your password and the original device which still has iMessages on, will not be aware of the new password for them, it will revert to text messages. Let us know how it goes.

  • I cannot receive text messages and cannot use FaceTime since ios7 upgrade

    I upgraded to iOS 7 and since I cannot receive text messages or use face time. I have tried to reboot several times and when I try to sign in I keep getting a message to check my network settings. I can receive emails and the phone works.

    After going to the Apple Store I found out this a known issue and al I can do is refresh the phone and reinstall my apps or wait till Apple releases another version.

  • Unable to send or receive text messages after updating iOS to 7.0.2

    I am unable to send or receive text messages aftering updating to iOS 7.02. I have an iPhone 4S. I have run all the suggested troubleshooting still can't text. I have been to my carrier, AT&T, there is no issue with my account. AT&T suggested resetting the phone to factory defaults (thereby wiping it clean). I am trying to avoid that as I had issues with transferring data & contacts before. Any one have a work around?

    Try this iMessage workaround
    Look for a fix by Apple by the end of the week.....

  • Unable to send or receive text messages after apply s/w update on Q10

    After apply software release 10.1.0.4181 (size 6mb) on my Q10, I can no longer send or receive text messages, pls help. At first I thought the text messages were only collapsed, but I am unable to send, receive or open any previous chat. I have rebooted the device multiple times, including removing the battery. When trying to do a text message, system seems stuck on the last message received yesterday, and am unable to open this chat session, reply, compose. I cannot compose for any contact, nor able to receive any text messages. PLs help !!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I removed my battery again, this time left out for 5 minutes. SMS is now working again. (previously approx 2 min)
    However, the problem I was experincing, I have had before, where I cannot send an sms message. I believe I may have hit a hot key and basically does not allow you to send a message. Typically I reboot at this point and sms works again. I will try your new os option after I verify all is working properly again.  Thank you for your help.

  • I dont receive text messages after the iphone update

    after i updated my phone software on my iphone 4, i am not able to receive text messages from anyone. and when i send one like regular, it says that the inbox is full, which is has never said that before. any idea when it is doing that?

    Are you having trouble with SMS messages (green)? Or iMessages (blue)? Or both? What happens when you try to send a message? What troubleshooting steps have you tried? Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears? Have you contacted your carrier to make sure everything is ok with your account?

  • Cannot receive text messages and visual voicemail isn't working

    Ok so I've searched but cannot find anything on my first problem. I cannot recieve text messages from people through normal SMS but rather only through iMessage. I keep getting a message saying my sms inbox is full and that I need to delete some messages first. I only get the messages after turning my phone off and then turning it back on. Any ideas on how to fix this or if there are any solutions online somewhere that I missed.
    Also, the second thing is my visual voicemail isn't working anymore and now it's acting like an old voicemail where I have to call and listen to messages. Any ideas on that issue?
    Any help is greatly appreciated and sorry in advance if either of these questions were asked and I was to blind to see them. Thanks

    Turning it off and on a few times will do nothing. What you need to do is remove your battery while your phone is powered on then replace it a few seconds after that. Your phone MUST be powered on when you remove the battery.
    Cheers.

  • Cant receive text messages after update

    Updated my phone last night and now I can't receive text messages. I can send them but not receiving them. I share my account with my wife and I was receiving her text messages. When I go to iMessage, I can't select my own number. It is grey and not checked, but won't let me check it. I sign out of my account, and sign back in, and it shows the number checked when I sign in, but is not checked in the iMessage settings.

  • I am having trouble receiving text messages after iOS7 update; anyone else know how to resolve this?

    Before installing 7 I had no problem receiving text messages; now I am not receiving some people's messages unless I have my data turned on or wifi.  Does anyone know how to fix this?

    I am having similar issues with my iphone 4S that didn't exist before I did the iOS7 update. The senders of the imessages believe their message was sent successfully however I may not receive it for minutes-days.
    In my case (and probably yours), its' definitely an iOS7 problem rather than a carrier problem as it was never an issue before the update.
    Two temporay ways to resolve the issue that I've found (though not cures) are:
    1) double tap the home button and close messages from running in backgorund. restart messages and the screen freezes for a 10-30 seconds and a rush of messages may arrive shortly.
    or
    2) intermittently do a soft reset on your phone (holding home button and lock button down for 10 seconds until apple logo appear). When the phone restarts I get a rush of imessages that I should have received.
    Hopefully Apple will recognise and resolve this issue. I'm feeling the same frustration as you are.

  • I cannot use  my iPhone to make calls or send text messages after upgrading to ios 7

    I just upgraded to ios7 and I can no longer  make calls or send text messages.  The screens seem to be locking.   Does anyone know what I can do to fix it?

    My wife is having the exact same issue after updating to the new iOS 8.1.1 and we've tried all the same steps even restoring the phone as a new phone. We've contacted our service provider and they've told us to go to apple to potentially "remove" her serial number from their servers to allow it to work properly on the service we have. We are desperate as purchasing a new phone right now is not an option and she desperately needs her phone for work and life.

  • Cannot receive text messages with LG Octane

    It just started today but I can send text messages but not receive them. My mobile mail still works but I've had family and friends try to text me and no one else is having this issue or can they get a text through. I've tried turning my phone off, taking the battery out, clearing all messages and now don't know what to do. What else can I try or do?

    All I can say is that with all three family members who experienced this problem, it took about 24 hours for Verizon to do their "thing" to get them working.  If it's been longer than that for you, I am sorry.  If it has been less than 24 hours.....try to be patient.  THOUGH....you can receive messages if the sender sends them as HIGH PRIORITY TEXTS.  This does not cost anything additional to do.  HOW TO:  After typing your text message to a friend (or vice versa), before sending it, click on OPTIONS.  Scroll down to PRIORITY LEVEL. Change to HIGH.  Click on OK and send.  If your friends do this, the messages should come through to you.  This should help until Verizon figures out their problem!
