  • I have an iphone 4  I can get texts from all but I person. Why? They can get mine

    I have an iphone4  I can get texts from everyone but one person. They can get mine. This started all of a sudden. Any suggestions?

    the mute button is a switch you need to flip, not touch. if you look at it and see color, its on.

  • Can't send texts or call, but can use 3G?

    I got an iPhone 4s a few months ago and it's locked to EE. Everything has been fine but today it won't let me send texts or call someone, even if they also have an iPhone and I'm connected to the internet. I have signal and 3G is working. Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

    Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go.

  • Can send texts in ireland but can't make or receive calls?

    In I'm southern Ireland and I can't make any calls or get any but I can send messages. I have a s5 and have turned on roaming so I am at a loss as to what else to do. It currently says I am with Vodafone as a carrier. Any help please thanks in advance ☺

    Did you activate roaming before going abroad?
    Click on EE & ME and where it says My Account, click on Devices and Usage and enable it from there, cllick on EE & ME and where it says travel and shopping click on using phone abroad.

  • I have 2 email addresses set up on my iphone 5, 1 can send mail and the other can't... have tried deleting and adding the account, no luck, have tried all suggestions... anyone help?

    I have recently purchased the iphone 5S and have two AOL email accounts set up on it. They could both receive and send mail on the first day, but from the second day only 1 can send mail (both still receive). I get an message saying "Unable to send mail. A copy has been placed in your Outbox. Sending the message content to the server failed." This has been the response now for 3 days and suddenly this morning, I was able to send an email from this account, but only the one and now it's back to that same message. I have deleted and added the account again, using various methods. I even reset my phone and set it all up again from beginning with no luck. It is very frustrating and I am unsure why I can't send from both accounts, especially being that they are the same provider. I have read forums and it appears many have this same problem and I wondered if anyone has had it recently on this phone and how they fixed it. Someone said just use the AOL app to send from this account, yes that can be done, but it's inconvenient having to sign in all the time when i have a mail app that should work automatically. Any suggestions would be welcomed!!

    I am not sure if this issue is going to help you but lets give it a try.
    I know that where im from, which is the Netherlands, I am not able to sent e-mails from my iPhone or any other mobile device by using 3G or a random WIFI acces point. The provider only allowes you to sent e-mails when you are connected to a network of there own. Which means if you have provider "101" and your email settings are set up for this provider in your iPhone but your using the network of a friend of yours which is provider "202" you cannot sent emails from his network. Though you can receive them you may not sent.
    As I said, I am not aware if this issue is the same for you totaly depents on the country and provider your using.

  • TS2755 Iphone 4s on iso7 will not send text msg overseas but will recieve

    Iphone 4s will not text overseas mobile but will receive from same contact.

    So I should update this. The phone actually loses service, I have reset the network connection as well as I have updated the carrier settings and the phone is still losing service randomly. I called the carrier and they told me there is nothhing they can do unless we bring the phone in, they believe it could be the sim card because everything on their end looks to be fine. So I'll be going to the carrier store this evening to see if they can fix the problem if not then I will be going to the apple store. Do hope this problem gets fixed soon.

  • I switched from an iPhone to a Galaxy s4.  Everything seems ok except text messaging with people who have an iPhone.  I can send them a text, they can see it, but I cannot see what they text back.  What can I do please?

    I just switched from an iPhone to a Galaxy 4S and I like it except for text messaging.  I can text, they can see it, but I cannot see their response if they are using an iPhone.  Can you help me with this?  What do I do please?

        Congratulations on your new phone kathdogg! Now let's get your messaging working correctly. If you still have your old device, turn it on, go to settings, and turn off iMessaging.
    If you are no longer in possession of your old device, you will need to remove your phone number from your Apple Support Profile. This can be done here: http://bit.ly/1cst2SC 
    Please keep us posted, and let us know if this resolves your issue!
    Thank you,

    can anyone help or tell my why this would be happening?
    its not in airplane mode.
    it does not have "do not disturb settings on.
    its locked on EE and has a T-Mobile SIM installed and is showing signal bars.
    what could possibly be the problem?
