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.

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

I have turned phone off and on a few times, but nothing changes.
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.

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.

Call AppleCare and ask them to deactivate iMessage. It might take awhile to become effective.

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

I CAN NOT RECEIVE TEXT MESSAGES FROM PEOPLE USING IMESSAGE
On an iPhone your iMessages will go to your phone number.
You can select another email to use on iPod or iPad.
Go to settings
Messages
Send and receive
Check your phone number and uncheck the common Apple ID you share so your messages will not go to other devices. -
Is there a software in which I can hook up my iPhone 4s to my computer and send and receive text messages and calls (via headset) through my computer? Whether it's free or cost money, can someone please give me a name of a program or software that allows me to do this? I can't seem to find anything like this for the iPhone.
No.

Can numbers be blocked from receiving text messages and calls?
can phone numbers be blocked from receiving text messages and/or calls on IPhone?
You have to check with your carrier. I know Verizon you can log in and block calls.
You can not selectively do this on the phone. -

My iPad 2 won't receive text messages and is not sharing any data with my iPhone 4. Please help!
The iPad receives Text Messages through Apple's iMessage feature. Make sure this is turned on on your phone. Also, text messages received at your phone number are not shared with the iPad. Make sure that iMessage texts are being sent to your EMAIL ADDRESS
