  • Iphone 4 cannot send or receive text message

    I just got my iphone 4 yeaterday. Everything works fine except for the text messages. I can make and receive call, but cannot send or receive text messages. Does anyone have this problam?
    After I hit "send", it sounds message sent successfully, but my friend did not get it. Also I asked my friend to send one to me, nothing!

    it's a software issue... a lot of customers are having all kinds of issues with their new iPhone 4. But, don't be dismayed, there may be a way to fix it.
    some ideas is trying going to settings -> general -> rest -> then tap on "Rest Network Settings". This will then rest all the of network settings, and hopefully fix transmitting and recieving issues that you may have with your iPhone.

    Don't use ALL CAPS on post, online means you are SHOUTING and is very RUDE.
    SMS is a carrier service, talk to your carrier.

  • Have a 5S w/ Sprint, can't receive texts from verizon non-iphones!

    Ported a # as of 10/2 from Tmobile to the iphone 5s I received from Sprint.
    Since then I can't receive texts from verizon non-iphones! They
    can see my texts. Googling this, it seems like there's been issues
    like this for other people. Can anyone advise as this is very bad!

    SMS and MMS are carrier features. There is nothing you can do on your phone to fix this. It's either a problem with Sprint, Verizon, or T-Mobile. You've reported the problem to Sprint, that's all you can do. About the only other thing that could be done would be to have somone you know on Verizon who can't send messages to you open a ticket with Verizon.

  • Cannot send or receive texts on 2/3 of the S4s we have.

    Hello,
    Me, my mom, and my dad all have Galaxy S4s. Text messaging has been working great for me, but today my dad came to me and told me his text messages kept failing when he tried to send them.
    I tried sending him texts from my phone and found that they wouldn't go through. My mother's phone is the same way: Cannot send or receive.
    I've tried going to: Settings/Applications Manager/All/Messaging/Clear Data/Phone Restart. This also brought no results. At this point I have no idea how to get it working. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    There are no issues with making and receiving calls at this time. We changed our phone plan with the purchase of the S4s. They both kept their old numbers and did not have texting until switching plans.
    And about the test message, no I've tried. It always just says, "Failed." With the error code: SMS Org.D.

  • I have 4 bars on my phone in the house but cannot send or receive texts.

    The last few days I've had trouble sending and receiving texts even though I have between 3 and 4 bars. I have also just tried logging into my account and it told me it didn't recognise my email (it hasn't changed for years) so I go to register and it tells me there is already an account. 

    Hi 
    What type of device are you using?
    Also are you connected to Wi-Fi at the time?
    If you click the Forgotten Details link on My Account and follow the steps. If this doesn't work you would need to Contact Us so customer services can reset your My Account.
    Thanks. 

  • Unable to send or receive text from another iphone after updating ver 7.02

    Before updating ver 7.02 I was able to send and receive text to any cell phone. After updating to ver 7.02 can no longer send nor receive any text from any iphone 4 or iphone 5. Can send and receive to/from an old iphone 3 and to any non-iphone but not iphone 4 or 5. Tried updating iTunes then restore phone from backup, no change. Deleted apps that were no longer being used and transferred all my pictures on phone to a folder on computer then deleted then out of iTunes. Tried restoring again, once again no change.
      Not having any idea what else to try, went to AT&T store for help. Pretty much got a shrug of the shoulders with the response of yep, a lot of texting problems after 7.02 update. No help at all.
    Anybody else have or had this issue? If yes,  what did you find causing the problem?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the response. I tried so many things forgot to list that I did try turning off iMessage, reset network and turned network back on- no change. Also forgot to mention it's my wife's phone, I'm more old school. If I need to talk to somebody, I just call since I already have a phone in my hand. That's my solution to the problem but she doesn't think so. LOL. Also tried hard restarting several times, didn't make any difference. I am still fiddling around with it, if I come up with anything I will post it.
    Thanks again for the help.

  • After transferring my contacts on to my iPhone, I cannot send or receive text messages to some of them. Even if they text me, I cannot reply!

    After transferring my contacts to my iPhone, I can no longer send or receive text messages from some of them. Even if they text me, I cannot send a reply!

    Same problem persists also here. Have crosschecked with friend, all same settings, have deleted the contacted, created again, still that number does not receive my SMS (no question on iMessage). Can not even reply her message. This problem persists with few numbers, nothing common, different phones, different countries, different operators. All others, with different operators, in different coutries receive my messages. Even other people can send their SMS to her.

  • New Iphone can't send or receive texts from non-Iphone contacts

    Okay Verizon, you finally convinced me to get a smartphone so I can text, etc. Now I find that only other Iphone users  can get my text messages. This is very annoying. My family members are Verizon and other carriers, Iphone and Droid users but I find that only some can receive or send me messages. What is up with this?

    That is because you are not sending texts, but iMessages. iMessage is an Apple proprietary messaging system which DOES NOT utilize SMS, but instead chooses to send messages counted against your data allowance. iMessage is ALSO only available to Apple phones.
    Go into your settings > messages > make sure that the box is checked to send as SMS if iMessage is not available is checked. This way, when your iPhone cannot send an iMessage to a contact, it will send an SMS.
    Personally, I think you should completely disable iMessage and only send SMS messages. With Verizon, most plans now include unlimited texting and an allowance for data. If you use iMessage, these messages will count against your data allowance where these same messages sent as SMS would not since you most likely have unlimited texting on your account.
    Good luck.
