    Help! I have an iPhone 4s, I accidentally deleted a text message and my phone is not synced. How do I retrieve it?

    You can not retrieve a deleted message that was not synced.
    There are data recovery services that "may" be able to retrieve the message.
    These recovery services can cost $1000 or more though.

  • My iPhone won't let me send text messages!

    My iphone will not let me send text messages but i can do everything else from calling to reciving as well as accessing the internet.
    I am able to use another sim card in the phone and it work's perfectly. i do not know what else i can do, i have called apple and my service provider, i have reset my network settings and restored it on the ipod. please help!

    Hi! I know this is much later but if anyone else has this problem I think I've found the solution, the problem is the obvious SIM Card, you may need to activate your sim card on your carriers website! I am with Orange EE and that's the verdict for me! Hope this helps P.S. I've had the same problem x

  • 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.

  • Why does my iPhone screen dim when I send text messages?

    Whenever I'm texting someone and I tap the voice button to use talk to text, the screen dims to black on my 5s, if my face gets close to the phone.
    Also, if I put the phone up to my ear or near my face whenever I have text message convo window open, the phone beeps and dims. It starts trying to record a memo or something?
    I'm jailbroken and I have never seen this happen before. Any ideas on what is going on?
    Would appreciate any help! - bud

    We really do not support jail broken devices as it violates the terms of this site. That said the dimming when the phone gets close to your face is a normal function via a proximity sensor to stop inadvertent button triggers

  • New iPhone 5s/iOs7 Won't Send Text Messages to 4s/iOs 6.1

    Hello,
    My husband got a new iPhone 5s (iOs7) yesterday and when he sends a text message to my 4s (iOs 6.1), I don't get it. On his screen, the texts from him are blue. If he holds down the message and sends as text, I get them, and on my screen they are white.
    I did do a bit of research and tried resetting the network settings and turning on SMS but it didn't work at all.
    Can anyone give me a hand please? The poor man has been dealing with a belligerent, messed up Android phone for months, waiting to get this iPhone and now we can't text each other :-P Is this something we will have to live with until Apple fixes it?
    Thank you,
    Gina

    So strange.  I receive texts in established chat threads but if I try to start a new conversation, it gets bounced back as "not delivered".  I'm facing a future when I may have to revert to talking to people on the phone again.  Help.  Please.
    Which type of messages are you having a problem with, iMessages (blue) or SMS (green)? Or both?

  • IPhone 6 plus will not send text messages

    I just got an iPhone 6 plus and am having trouble with text messages. I try to send a simple several sentence text message (no photos) and it appears to start to send but gets hung up and never completes. I tried turning iMessage on and off, tried resetting the network several times, but it still hangs up. I am using Tmobile service but I am connected to my home WiFi.

    Hello, Claire. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    I understand that you are unable to send messages and have tried a couple troubleshooting steps with the issue persisting.  I would recommend going through the steps in the article below as there may be a couple steps that may help.  You may also need to reach out to T-Mobile to make sure your account is provisioned correctly.

  • New iphone can't receive or send text messages

    I can't receive or send test messages. I tried turning airplane mode on and off. I also don't seem to have a data plan added to my service. I looked at my contract and it just shows family talk. I thought they automatically add this to iphone contracts.

    It doesn't display an error message. It sends it out, but the recipient never receives it. I think the Best Buy person screwed up my service some how. She didn't sign me up for a data plan or a text message plan for this account. I was supposed to keep my same plan. It should still send texts though (at a higher non-text plan rate).
