I5 ios7 Texts sent to me when my phone was off are not received - Shouldn't they be queued and sent to me when phone is turned on?

My phone was off for awhile, and I had quite a few people tell me they had try to text me when it was off, so I thought there should be texts waiting. However, when I turned my phone on, I didn't receive any. Is this supposed to happen? With my old phone (not an iphone) I would receive all of the texts sent to me even if my phone was off when it was sent. Is there a way I can receive them?
My 'send and receive' settings have my phone number and email selected
SMS is on
Was NOT on airplane mode when turned off
Was not on 'do not disturb'

Update to my original problem. Spent over an hour at the genius bar, deleted all my info, went back to factory settings, reloaded everything, switched off, got a message sent - same problem, didn't arrive. Apple guy said it must be a SIM problem as he'd tried everything he could think of. Went to Vodafone, changed SIM - still happening!! Will try Apple again when I have time, but this is so frustrating!! Any ideas anyone??

Can't accept BBM invitations and Invites sent show as "Pending for Authorization" but recipients are not receiving them either (PIN Message Status : Service Blocked)

I recenly changed device from BB Curve 8530 to BB Bold 9900 and ever since then can't accept BBM invitations and Invites sent shows only as "Pending for Authorization" but recipients are not receiving them either. Tried sending PIN messages but I got a red x next to the message and the status says: "Service Blocked" .
When my phone got lost, I was lucky that I just synchronized my device to my BB Desktop. Not only was I able to retrieve my contacts (phonebooks and BBM) but also ALL txt msgs and even call logs
Anway, that happening, I assumed I don't need to re-send all my BBM friends invites since some were able to communicate with me. But for those who have deleted my profile (knowing it got lost) and were still on my contact were the ones affected. I tried deleting them and sent an invite only to find out that: I can't accept BBM invitations and Invites sent shows as "Pending for Authorization" but recipients are not receiving any. (they also have the same pending for authorization notice on their end)
When I tried to send them a PIN message I get a red x next to the message nd get the service blocked message.
Help I do not know what else to do.
** FYI: new contacts added with my new PIN have no prob sending invites and me accepting them all.

Hello Lhea,
This issue is most likely Caused by the BlackBerry not being provisioned for BlackBerry Data Services.
Please have a look at the following article that covers "Service Blocked" when sending a PIN message:

I hope this helps.

Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get? Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

Apple is great!
Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get? Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).
I compose an iMessage with the destination as my email address and I attach 2 photos I want on my PC. I send them several times from my iPhone 5C but they never arrive. I look at my ipad later and realize that it's iMessage app is getting ( and swallowing) these emails. I then turn the ipad off. Still can't get the photos through because iphone is now getting them on it's iMessage. I turn off the iMessage feature and try to send photos from text msging. Phone tells me it can't send photos unless iMessage it turned on. What happened to regular MMS text messaging? I go and try to send photos as an email attachment and see that there is no option to attach from the stupid email program. I look up online to learn about the brave new world of apple attachments and send them.
Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?
The email program on my iphone is not configured to remove messages from the server.
If iMessage is turned off I don't have the issue.

Did not work. I've selected iMessage to ON and left it. After a few hours I recieved a message "activation unsuccessful. Turn on iMessage to try again". This has been going on for the past 3 days.

I want to use my old iphone for my kids as an ipod. How do I keep from getting text messages on it when it is turned on? If it is on, and my droid razar is on, text messages will go to the iphone. It is either a 4 or 4s ...I don't have Siri, so I think

Another thing to remember is the phone is actually usable for 911 calls and maybe others. Not a real good idea. Especially for a child.
It would depend however on the age of the child.
Good Luck

Using Verizon Messaging and people are not receiving my texts NOR am I receiving texts that were sent to me! Went to old iphone and disabled imessaging but still not working. I'm a big texter for personal and business and am ready to go back to iPhone.

Just got the Samsung Galaxy s5 and am very frustrated that I am not receiving text messages that were supposedly sent to me. Also, it says 'sent' but it is never delivered. Or it might get delivered but mine still just shows being sent. I re-started that phone and disabled my texting on my old iphone as some have suggested. I'm ready to go back to the iphone just because of this issue. Please fix this Verizon!

I'll tell you it is some marketing coup that a problem Apple has created and has control over is being passed off on Verizon.
This problem is the result of you migrating from iMessage, a messaging platform controlled completely by Apple, back to a more mainstream messaging system of SMS/MMS. Verizon has no control over other iPhones "thinking" you are still using iMessage. NOTHING Verizon can do will fix this problem.
Try texting the word "stop" to 48369. Others have reported this has worked. Doing this should de-register your number with the iMessage system. You should receive a confirmation reply. It may take a day or 2 for other iPhones to completely register that your number is no longer associated with iMessage. You can also try calling Apple support and let them know you are not receiving messages from iPhone users after switching to an android phone from an iPhone.

2 people sent e-mails to me today and I did not receive them. They both were replies to my e-mail (both different). I am running 10.7.5. I searched everywhere and nothing. Not on iCloud either.

2 people sent e-mails to me today and I did not receive them. They both were replies to my e-mail (both different). I am running 10.7.5. I searched everywhere and nothing. Not on iCloud either. This happened a few years ago and never noticed it again. I received emails before and after the 2 that never showed up so can't figure out why I didn't get them! Does Apple automatically delete some emails based on text? These were nothing crazy. One was about decorating cookies for a party and which colors to use! HELP! Now I am worried I am missing important emails!

Greetings Val Val,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you are not receiving some email from an account that you have set up on your Mac. To begin the troubleshooting process, I would recommend reading over and working through the attached article.

Windows users are not receiving attachments sent out of Mail

I am a consultant. I use Mail in Snow Leopard. Software is up to date.
Our business uses Microsoft Exchange Server 2003. All other consultants in the company are using Windows. In Mail I connect via IMAP. It has worked flawlessly until recently.
Recently, my corporate clients (various clients not related to one another nor using the same email server) have complained that they are not receiving my email attachments. It is not universal. It is inconsistent, even with the same client. Sometimes the attachments are there and sometimes not.
I have verified two things. 1) That the attachments are present in the emails in my outbox. 2) That the emails leave our server with the attachment (I accomplished this by contacting our Microsoft Exchange service provider and giving them examples, which they tracked down and verified that the emails left them with the attachments.).
Our service provider suggested that Mail is adding something to the email that is causing Outlook (the common denominator is that the clients receiving the emails are all on Outlook) to strip the attachment. Or, the antivirus is stripping it. Something about the Mail email is causing Outlook or some antivirus software to strip the attachments.
Has anyone else encountered this? Is there something that can be done?
Right now I've had to go to Thunderbird in order for my attachments to be received. I'd rather stay with Mac all the way, but I cannot trust that my clients will receive attachments.
I'm hoping that when our company changes to MS Exchange Server 2007, that the problem will go away, since Mail can interface with the 2007 version directly. But, until then, I would really like to stick with Mail, if I can find a work around.
Thanks.
Matt

I am now having exactly the same problem. But here is a new wrinkle. ALL the persons having the problem you describe - that attachments are stripped off - are using cox.net as their e-mail provider. I am not saying that all cox.net mail users are having the problem, but those having the problem are among the cox.net e-mail users. None of my recipients using aol.com, yahoo.com, gmail.com, verizon.net, zona.net, etc. are having any problems. Only some of the cox.net e-mail users.
I suspect but have not checked that they are all PC users (I use a Mac with Mail) and, now that I have become aware of this thread, I will check if they use Outlook.
It started a few months ago. I had no problems before and now this, with the same people. Obviously something must have changed but what?
Please let me know if you have found anything more about this - or even a solution? :-)

I have purchased apps for my ipod touch and they are not loading properly. They appear on the screen, however when I touch them, they do not load and bounce back to the main screen. Any suggestions on how to fix?

Try the basics from the manual:

Not receiving texts from iPhone contacts when I'm not connected to wifi or cell data. I can't send and receive regular SMS texts with non iMessage users but iMessage users message are not being converted to text when I don't have internet connect

I can send and receive to any non iPhone user. I can send a message as a text to an iPhone user but if I'm not connected to cellular data or wifi I do not receive messages from iPhone contacts. From what I understand these message should automatically send to me as texts instead of iMessages but since the update it's not functioning properly. Please help. I've tried turning iMessage off and I still don't receive the messages until after I reconnect to wifi.

I have the same problem! Before the upgrade, if I wasn't connected to the internet, any messages sent to me from an iphone would convert automatically to a text message. I have payg tarriff, so I turn cell data off, as it costs too much to use it. I have wifi at home and work, but if I'm out and about, I don't receive texts from iphone users until I'm on wifi. I get them ok from non iphone users. There was never any problem until ios7

People are not receiving all my texts and viceversa

I just changed this week to the Galaxy Nexus from a 3G phone. Before I had no problems with sending text messages and pictures through stock messages but with the new phone, several of my messages are not being received in the other side. It appears that it has been sent but they just do not arrive. Same with some messages and pictures they send me, some just do not reach my phone. I changed from stck sms (android default) to 3rd party (Handcent or something) still, i do not receive some messages... anyway, same problem. Is this a 4G problem? a Samsung problem? or a Google problem? Is being resolved?
Is worth to mention that the person I send most sms is on a Metro PCS blackberry, but still I had no problems with my android LG Ally before. Just after I changed to the Nexus. What is the problem here? how do I resolve it?
Thanks,

Stito85, thank you for your post. I certainly want to make sure we get your text messages working. I have not seen this issue as a known issue on the Nexus. Is this happening with different people? Are you using any special characters, graphics, signatures, etc in the messages that do not send? Try deleting your SMS thread with the number it is happening with mostly and try sending text messages again. If the issue is still occurring, we may need to submit a trouble ticket to our network team. In that case, we'll need the dates and times that the messages were sent and from which number so we can further investigate.
Let me know if you need additional assistance.

What does it mean if I get blank text messages from someone but they are not coming from number they appear and disappear they are not coming over the network also emails have been moved around, has my phone been hacked?

I Have been getting blank texts from a number, but the person who owns the niumber is not sending them, they appear then disappear, they are not coming over the network, they come even though number has been black listed, also emails have been moved, I believe by someone who is cyberstalking me but don't know how to prove it, what can I do ?

Hi,
When a Mac is "registered" for iMessages account with an Apple ID the Serial Number of the Mac is used to create an Auth Token as it is called for the Messages app that allows that Mac to work.
I would guess a similar process of linking the Number of the iPhone to a Hardware fact about the device is also in place.
I would contact Apple Support and check with them. (you might need to speak to a Level 2 person as Level 1 people are script led and try to fit everything into Software or Hardware categories where as sorting and Apple ID (which the Number is in this case) is normally Free).
I did find this iOS: Troubleshooting Messages - Apple Support
It starts off about sorting SMS that is not working.

Switched to Android but iPhone text messages are not received

PLEASE HELP! I sold my 3GS on 3 network and switched to a Galaxy S3 on Orange. I have ported my number across. Before I sold my iphone I did a factory restore. My problem is that when iphone users send me a text message, I do not receive it. Their phones still think I am on iMessage. I need to know how to disable my iMessage account even though I have no access to an iphone. I have removed the device from my apple support profile and also from icloud.com. I have absolutely no idea how to solve this and I'm pretty disappointed with Apple that by doing a factory reset, didn't remove my number from the imessage account. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Gareth

you don't. you tell her to turn off iMessage on her old iPhone
