I cant receive sms messaging

i have a blackberry storm 2 and i can send sms messages but i cant receive them. this phone is new to me and i've been through almost everything that i could think of but still cant figure out why i am not receiving any messages. please help!!!

Good morning JChinery,
Text messaging is my favorite form of wireless communication! It’s SUPER convenient to send a text to convey a message when I am not able to speak. I’m sure that you understand the convenience that text messaging provides in today’s wireless world. May I ask how much memory do you have on the Storm 2? In most cases, the text functionality may become limited due to lack of memory. I would suggest erasing all of your old text message threads and other media, reboot the device, and retest. Of course this step is in addition to what SuzyQ recommended, thanks SuzyQ!
Since we are on the subject, I would suggest erasing any unused media. Some examples are old pictures, the sample video, and any unused apps. Once you have tested the text messaging service, please advise if the issue is resolved as I am eager to know the outcome.
Thank you…

Verizon iPhone 4S stopped being able to receive SMS messages last night. Any ideas?

My wife and I have had our iPhone 4S's since they first became available in 2011. Up until last night we had not had any issues. All of a sudden a couple of our relvatives called us and said they could not send us text messages, they were getting Not Delivered messages or SMS Failure, depending on their carrier/device (they do not have iPhones). My wife and I were still able to send iMessages to each other, but when I shut off iMessage to debug, we were not able to send SMS messages to each other. Turned iMessage back on and we are able to message back and forth.
Note, our two iPhones share the same Apple ID, but each phone's iMessage is associated with a different phone number and email. Both phones were on iOS 6.0.2
I searched this forum and Verizon for solutions, tried several starting with reboot, delete all existing messages, delete contact and finally did a backup and factory restore via iTunes for my device only. Still no luck, I cannot receive SMS messages.
I had not yet installed iOS 6.1.x after reading of some of the issues. However, since I tried a factory restore to fix this, I was foreced to updated to 6.1.2.
We did not receive the message that we have reached the 75,000 message limit, but just to be sure, we deleted all old messages and still nothing.
So to summarize:
iMessage works fine, send and receive between the two of us and other iPhone users
We are able to send SMS messages, we have confirmed that people can receive our SMS messages
We cannot receive SMS message. We never see the messages and the people who try to text us get undeliverable messages.
All started yesterday evening.
Any help is much appreciated.
Darin

Contact your carrier to confirm that your messaging plan is properly provisioned. They are responsible for routing your sms messages.

I cant receive international messages on my e63

please help me find out what could be the problem with my messaging.i cannot receive international messages on my e63 but i can send international messages. I can receive local and send local plus international but i cant receive international messages.Someone please help me out.Thanks

Welcome to Nokia Discussions! Make sure that the sender uses the right country code.
Please take a look at the user guide page 49. Make sure your message centre number is right. Also make sure you don't have any blocking on with your network operator.
If possible, try some other SIM-card in your phone and see if it works. Also try your SIM with other phone and see what happens. If it seems that the issue is on SIM please, contact your operator. If it seems the issue is in the phone, please perform the following actions:
Make a back up with Nokia Suite. Type in *#7780# = soft reset, no data lost.
If it's still the same, type in *#7370# = hard reset, phone memory will be wiped. Restore back up.
Hope you get it working!

Can't receive SMS messages in inbox

self explanatory title, i can send but not receive sms messages unless i use the application crunchSMS. I receive stuff like bbm and the messages box in used in conjunction. I've been using crunchSMS for 2 months now and i've received messages in the message box and the app.
Have i pressed a wrong button or something

Hi millz90,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The functionality of viewing All Inboxes has not changed from iOS 6 to iOS 7.
Take a look at the screenshot from the iOS 7 User guide below.
In this example, the user is looking at an inbox from one specific email account.
Notice the blue Mailboxes link in the top left corner of the screen.
When you tap on Mailboxes on your device, the new screen should have the title Mailboxes at the top and All Inboxes should be the first item on the list.
If you scroll down to the bottom of the screen, you will see your Accounts listed, and you can choose to open a specific email account to look at its Inbox or Sent mailbox.

Hi all,
I am using Nokia 6680. I was using PC Suite 6.5 previously and i cant read my sms messages from the PC browser, nor the PC Suite.
I follow the advice from this forum to upgrade to PC Suite 6.84, and i still cant read sms messages from my PC. does anyone have antidote to this problem?
Much appreciation!

Hi Miksu-san, thanks for sharing. yes that does help. Thanks for enlightening. Will need to press on F5 for it to update.
Miksu-san, do u know if there's anyway we can extract the sms data, in bulk and in organized way, except from purchasing the Noki software? Much appreciation in advance.
Matt, to view, please see my reply with the same problem under nokia 6270 thread.

Could send, but not receive SMS messages until today - Can I retrieve the SMS messages that never came in?

I didn't realize until today, but I haven't been receiving SMS messages for two weeks. I'm pretty sure it started when I sent an MMS message. People have been getting my messages, but I haven't received any SMS sent to me. Today I reset my phone and was able to receive an SMS that I asked someone to send.
Is there any way to retrieve the SMS messages from the last two weeks that didn't come in on my phone?
I have a Curve 8900

Hi,
As far as sms r concerned, that were sent to u around 2 weeks ago cannot be retrieved because of the reason that sms do have a time period for being delivered,else r self destroyed.
In other words, suppose a sms has 24 hrs time for delivery and for any reason the sms is not being delivered in that given time period to the specified number, then the sms will automatically get erased/destroyed depending on the netwrok provider.
Sorry for ur loss...
with regards

i have tried restore backup, battery pull, i have 100 mb free memory and 1gb on my memory

thank you!

So is your "Messages" or "SMS" icon missing? Try to reset the device by removing the battery for 30 seconds. Also try to reset the theme by going into Options | Theme, hitting the menu button, and choosing Reset Theme Defaults.

Not able to send or receive SMS messages on iMessage on mac

When I first updated to Yosemite the new SMS feature on iMessage was working. I had to replace my home button and screen on my iPhone 5s and after that it stopped working. I am not sure if having that repair done on my phone has anything to do with my above problem. Please help

Hi Ralph,
Thank you for your reply.
Ok, I will try to explain myself better.
When I say:
- Messages, I am talking about the software to send and receive iMessages and SMS.
- iMessage, is the blue bubble
- SMS is the green bubble
Facetime is because if someones callsme and I do not answer quickly on iPhone, and the Macs are using the same network as iPhone, the VoiceCall pops ups and rings, and usually I activate the Facetime option (when is a iPhone). Sorry about this confusion.
So basically, a week ago, I could send and receive SMS, iMessage on my Macs to/from anyone.
Now, I just can send iMessages (blue bubbles with blue name/contact on top [TO:]) and I can't send SMS (text messages, green bubble), I receive error (red exclamation point) and the name/contacts on top [To:] are red.
And as I told, I think it might be because of the new iOS update with iTunes recovery. Because it is the only similar thing I can relate with "loyalchiver" (when an iPhone goes to repair, the restore it.) That's why I tried signout/in in all Macs, but still not working.
About the Text Forwarding function, I had searched and what I was getting was to go to Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding, but this last option didn't appear, so I thought this was because the pages/foruns that I was reading was for the version 8.1 and not 8.1.1 (Apple could change it, I don't know). But while I was trying to put this working, I had rebooted some where and when I saw your reply, I went again there, and I had the Text Message Forwarding option, so all I had to do was activating it. Thank you!
To "labelchiver", I am not sure how I did it, but try this:
1. close all applications running on background.
2. reboot your iphone.
3. go to Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding .
4. If you can enter there and your mac is linked, unlink it and link it again.
5. Hope it works for you
Once again, thank you for your help and I apologize for my confusions about the labels. Cheers!

Can't receive SMS messages from Verizon Iphone 6 user

I have had an iphone 6+ since it came out. I've had my imessages turned off for several months because it was eating up so much data (all of a sudden...never an issue with my 4s before my upgrade.). Just in the last day, I've noticed I have not been able to receive message from my husband, who also has an iphone 6+ wtih Verizon. I've never had an issue with receiving his messages before yesterday when they just stopped. It shows on his phone that it was sent via SMS on his phone, but nothing shows on mine. I called other family members with iphones and Verizon as well and they have said they have sent me messages as well with no response from me, but I never received them. What's the deal?
1. All are iphone users
2. All are on Verizon's network
3. Sporatic timing of non-retreival of messages
4. iMessages work, but I do not want to use them as it has already caused me to up my data plan twice since upgrading to a new phone.
5. I've restarted my phone several times with no improvement

Hi Yosef,
I had to delete every one of my apps that I transferred over from my 4s and I was still going over data. I used all the same apps from my 4s and in the same manner and frequency. (I tracked my data useage for 2 years and i never went over 2gb of data). I turned cell data off on EVERYTHING except for facebook which I check occationally and google maps. Once I turned imessages off, I wasn't getting overages. (but I had to increase my plan twice to insure that). Now I can't use the apps I used to have and can't use them except on wifi without going over my data allowance within a few days of my plan starting each month.
I've messaged some family members and they indicated that their messages to me were automatically changing to imessage, though i have had it shut off since October. I did restart my phone yesterday, but changed no settings, which is when I suddenly couldn't recieve messages anymore. All the previous threads were in SMS. Why would it change to imessage within an SMS thread just from a phone restart?

Send and Receive SMS messages from US to South Kor...

I want to be able to receive and send SMS messages from my skype to my friend's cell phone in Korea
When I send it they receive it, but they can't respond it back to me because it is an international text.
Is there anyway that I can buy a Korean online number when I'm living in US?
and with that number will I be able to talk and send/receive messages with my friend?

@ sberman -Hi-I have my settings as you described and I do have a text msg. plan with At&T. I'm still puzzled, however; I had the same plan with he former phone-the ancient 3Gs and with it, I was able to send/receive text, photos, etc. to non-Iphone users via WiFi as long as I was home and within distance of the connection. I did not have to have my cell data "on" in order to send/receive anything. Everything transmitted through WiFi-and did not impact my charges or cell data limits.. I know I must use the cell data ON when I'm away, but don't understand why/how I can't do the same as before I upgraded to the 5c. Admittedly, I am certainly NOT in the stratospheric league as so many phone experts here-I do make the attempt to understand, though..
I read on one of the numerous help/answer sites that apparently someone else had registered the same complaint with Apple and now has a pending lawsuit-and hoping to get class-action status on the issue. I'm fairly sure this is the same-although I cannot be 100% certain given my lack of expertise.
I certainly appreciate your rapid response-as a newbie to these communities, I didn't expect any answers to my questions so quickly.Thanks for taking the time to post-have a great weekend.
