I cant receive replies to group text I sent.

Suddenly my iphone doesnt receive group replies from a group I have been using for a long time. I can initiate the group text and they receive it, but I dont get the replies everyone else gets. Please help!

Here are two more threads asking the same, both unanswered:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/19784711#19784711
https://discussions.apple.com/message/25738432#25738432
I didn't see these on my initial search but after I posted they were recommended.
I guess this is a problem others have as well.
Any help will be gratefully received.

  • Send and receive mms and group text messages on Samsung Galaxy Core Prime

    I moved from a basic phone to a smartphone.  I used to be able to receive group text messages and MMS messages without having to use data or be connected via wifi.  Why is it I have to use data or be connected to a wifi sourceto receive those messages now?

    The antennae or radios in the Prime are configured differently than most flagship type smartphones and even different still from basic phones.  It comes down to difference of hardware.

  • Why are my group text messages sent as mms?

    Please can someone help, I am on a plan with orange unlimited text. This is ideal for me when using my iphone as in often have to send a group message to 40+ people due to nature of my volunteer work. I am receiving larger bills from orange detail g charges under 'other ' when I called orange they responded by saying that on an iphone if I wish to send a group message the iphone can only send the message as a picture message as its to a group of people. Surely Apple have the technology to send a group text message! That's why I have an unlimited plan?? Please help as my volunteer work is costing me a small fortune!!! 

    HI. I had the same thing the other day. I sent a link to 40 people and got charged for 40 picture messages. I phoned my network provider and they said it is an apple fault (iphone).
    If you send a group 'Text' to more than 6 people, the iphone somehow marks it as a MMS or picture message. I get free texts and was shocked to be charged, but they did look into my messages and could see it was not an image and refunded me.
    If they are right, its an apple problem. Can anyone shed sme light on this?

  • Group text messages sent are received as slideshow

    I have an Iphone 3gs and when I send a text to multiple people, they report receiving it as a slideshow.  Their carrier is US cellular (don't know if that matters).  When I send the same message individually, it's received just fine.  Any ideas why?  Thanks!

    Dear Friends,
    E-mail messages sent, are received not in the paragraph-form as sent, but are broken-up into small segments, one line finely printed, the next line may appear with two or three words printed on it, then the next line will show a few words at the end of it, while the next line appears as the start of another paragraph, and so on and on and on. So that the original message, although sent in the one paragraph-form, winds up being received as several paragraphs, each broken up into several segments. My contacting Apple has produced no solution thus far. I am new at this computer
    business and would greatly appreciate any help you can give me on this score. Thanking you in advance for your interest and kind help.
    Yours Truly,
    Broduff.

  • HT3529 Group text only sent to some people - how do I find out which recipients?

    I have tried to send a group message to about 35 people and ran out of credit half way through. Is there any way of seeing which people the message was sent to and those it wasn't, I only want to resend to those that didn't receive it the first time.

    Hey VictorSMiller,
    Thanks for the question. This can be done by viewing the contact info in Messages. Simply tap “Contact” in the top right corner, then tap the icon. This will bring up the contact card, and the number the message was sent to will be highlighted in blue.
    View someone’s contact info in Messages.
    To quickly view someone's contact info in Messages, tap Contact.
    - Tap to call that person or to use FaceTime
    - Tap to see the person’s complete contact info
    If they're not already a contact, you can tap Create New Contact to add them.

  • Duplicate messages and problems receiving group text

    My moto x periodically sends out duplicate text.  I also cant receive replies to group messages.  I have deleted all old threads and cleared cache.  I have uninstalled the  Verzion messenger app and reinstalled.  Not sure what else to try!  Unfortunately, I need these functions for my job.  Someone please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

        Let's stopt these duplicate messages n2olowe! We want to get to the bottom of the issue first. When did the issue start? Do recall if it started after installing a particular app, or software update? Does your phone send duplicates to specific contacts only or all contacts? Have you enabled other SMS applications on your phone, like Hangouts, etc?

  • HT5957 Just downloaded iOS 7.0.2 and I'm now experiencing issues receiving text messages.  In particular, replies to my text messages.  Any ideas on a fix?  Thanks in advance...

    Downloaded iSO 7.0.2 and now I'm not receiving replies to my text messages.  I've tested it with someone standing next to me, their phone shows their reply sent and my phone gets nothing.  Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?  Thanks in advance

    Try the following:
    Go to Settings > Messages > iMessages > disable
    Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    let it do it's thing and reset.
    Then go to Settings > Messages > iMessages > enable
    You'll then have to go back to your Wifi and re-enter your router credentials.

  • Sending and receiving group texts on galaxy s5

    I cannot receive or send group texts.  is there a suggestion on what the issue might be?

        I want to make sure you can take advantage of group messaging, tlavender. Are you using the default application on the device? Are you attempting to initiate group messages from your phone or is a contact adding you to their group message? Does the group message contain more than 5 contacts? If so, are you able to start a group message with 3 members?

  • Cannot send or receive group text if someone is not on an apple phone

    Does anyone else have this problem or have a solution to this issue?  Has been like this since I got the phone and Apple says it is Verizon AND Verizon says it is Apple!  I cannot send or receive a group text!  Help!

    i have the same issue with AT&T. My phone receives picture and group texts just fine, but responding to group texts fails.
    Disabling MMS allows you to send texts to multiple people at the same time but doesn't set up the group chat environment so that responses can be automatically sent to everyone as well. you end up receiving text responses from each recipient in a separate thread.
    AT&T has also stated that it is an iPhone issue, but I have yet to ask apple what they think the problem is. Since the issue sounds identical to KKONO's, I'd assume the response would be that I should speak with AT&T about it. :\
    It doesn't really make sense that the carrier would be the one at fault since if MMS were really dysfunctional it would have much more widespread affects than just disabling group chat response. Send/Receive picture text and receive group chat should also be disabled. Since the problem is isolated only to responding to group chat, I'd think it's more likely an issue with apple iOS.
    Any thoughts?

  • HT4515 Does turning off group texting prevent my replies from going out to the mass?

    I receive responses to group texts. How can i assure my responses do go to everyone else as well? Just turn off group texting?

    Hi Auntie_Em4!
    I have an article for you here that can hopefully help you understand group messaging a little further:
    iOS: Understanding group messaging
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5760
    Specifically, I believe this section of that article answers your question:
    If you send a message to multiple recipients without group messaging in use by the sender and all recipients, an individual message will go to each recipient using either SMS or MMS. Responses to these messages will be delivered only to the original sender in seperate messaging threads.
    Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

  • I cant receive email

    I cant receive any emails.
    I have sent myself a test email but received an error saying:
    "Delivery has failed to these recipients or distribution lists:
    [email protected]
    The recipient's mailbox is full and can't accept messages now. Microsoft Exchange will not try to redeliver this message for you. Please try resending this message later, or contact the recipient directly."
    My mailbox is not full as I recently deleted all my emails however on www.icloud.com it says i have 9999+ emails.
    Help would be appreciated.
    Beth

    I've now emptied the email from the phone and attempted to delete the account but it keeps showing up.  I've tried deleting it and then returning to the settings and then re-entering the mail under settings and the account still shows.  I've repeated attempting to delete the account and then rebooting, and the account still shows.  I've attempted to reenter the information to set up a new account, but it won't allow it as the old account is still there.
    The one thing I've noticed is that it appears that the phone is continually trying to connect/check for mail as the battery is draining at a rate about four or five times normal.
    Thoughts?
    Thanks for your help.

  • Group text sent out, replies sent out but not received by my phone???

    Last night I sent out a group text but received no replies, whilst everyone else was happily chatting away. I have an iPhone4, its been recently updated, i've checked all the settings and can't see anything wrong???? I've sent out group texts before the update with no problems

    To identify your iMessages as coming from your phone number go to Settings>Messages>Receive At>Caller ID and select your phone number rather than your email address.  Also, the email can't be removed because this is the email address linked to the Apple ID you are using for iMessage.  If you really want to remove it you have to go to Settings>Messages>Receive At, tap the Apple ID at the top and sign out.

  • Can't group text or send/receive picture messages! Please Help!

    Hell Everyone,
    so I just recently switched from my Iphone back to my blackberry for simplicity/practical reasons...I couldn't deal with the iphone anymore. In doing so, I came across a problem. I am not able to send group texts or send/receive mms. Everytime I try to do so, the text has a red 'X' next to it showing that it didn't go through. I am currently with ATT and have tried calling them to resolve it but no one knows.
    here are some of the steps I took to resolve it
    1. Resetted to Factory Settings - Did not work
    2. Made sure all the settings in my text message options is selected properly - Did not work
    3. Deactivated iCloud/iMessage on my previous iPhone - Did not work
    4. Called ATT and had them make sure BB Data plan was on my plan, and it was - Did not work
    Can someone please help?
    Thank you,
    Pogos

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    With a strong carrier network signal (e.g., not merely WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
    1) Register HRT
    KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
    Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app
    2) Resend Service Books
    KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
    Please wait for "Activation" Messages, one per already configured email account, to arrive in your Messages. If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.
    3) Reboot
    With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.
    See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should re-contact your mobile service provider for formal support...be sure to request their dedicated BB support group. MMS is a specific service level that must be properly enabled on BBs in order to function. Often, the first support group you reach will not understand the proper method for configuring this on BB...but their dedicated BB support group will.
    Good luck!

  • I cant receive text

    I have taken my phone to verizon they sent me a new one and i still cant receive text unless they have a picture in them please help i can send text fine

    Hi lwatkins! Do you use the default messaging client on the phone or a custom application? Do you get an error message when the message comes in? If so, what does it say? Does the sender get some kind of alert that the message they sent cannot be delivered?
