  • TS2755 iMessage not receiving as normal text after leaving Wi-Fi

    When I start a conversation with someone in a Wi-Fi zone, with iMessage turned on, it send in a blue bubble. When I leave the wifi zone and keep the conversation going its turns green, the problem is that once I leave the wifi zone in a iMessage started convorsation I wont receive texts until I re-enter a wifi zone. How can I change this? Turning off iMessage doesn't seem to help because I will receive some messages but not all. until I get in a WiFi zone.
    Note: I don't have a data plan, just unlimited text messaging.

    Your note explains it all. Without a data plan you cannot send imessage texts and others on imessage cannot send you imessage texts. They will time out and eventually send as sms. What puzzles me is why you don't have a data plan on your phone? Without it your phone is just a plain old dumb phone.

  • Verizon iPhone 5 not sending or receiving texts. iMessage worked for a day then stopped or messages were severely delayed.

    New iPhone 5 on Verizon will not send or receive texts. In the beginning iMessage worked for about a day and then messages started to be delayed by hours. Eventually even these messages were not being sent. Reset network settings followed by a soft re-boot land still no change. Any ideas?

    For iMessage problems, try this:
    - Sign out of iMessage
    - Reset your network settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - Sign back in to iMessage
    Best of luck.

  • Imessage stopped sending my SMS text messages, do you know why?

    I updated my MacBook Pro a while ago to Yosemite - and surprisingly it worked out (together with my iphone4) to send imessage AS WELL AS normal text messages. However 2 days ago it stopped working and logs out all the time. Only imessage come through (but not always).
    Do you guys have a clue, what the problem could be?
    Thanks a lot!

    Thanks Malcom! I just tried inserting the short characters before the message and it works.
    But it's really boring having to type *# etc in front of a text message. The iPhone keypad doesn't lend itself very well for such exercises...
    But thanks a lot for pointing me to a temporary workaround.
    It's a bit embarrasing for Apple that Nokias, Ericssons, Samsungs etc do this automatically and you can chose delivery report on/off in settings for all these phones. But with Apple iPhone you have to write your own little string of code to get this basic functionality...
    YOu actually have to make an extra 10-15 key presses in front of EVERY sms/text message you send for this to work... Something truly time consuming and boring. When I just want to send a text-message saying "yes" I have to type in *#KV and jump between character sets etc. Not nice.
    How come Apple has failed to make this central thing of SMS/text work?

  • My iphone 4 will not send and receive text messages at random times

    My iphone 4 will not send and receive text messages at random times.  My brother has the same phone, lives in the same home and doesn't have this problem.  I can't receive messages without my iphone displaying a message asking for my phone number at random times. It happens intermittently.  Does anyone know why this happens? I am referring to regula text messages not imessages.  I have turned it off and also updated to the most recent software. thanks

    I've been an AT&T customer since they were under different names in the 90s and have never heard/seen that. I would check with them. I'd really like to see that error. To get a screenshot on the phone, press the home button and sleep/wake button together quickly and release. You will see the screen flash slightly and hear the camera shutter noise.

  • ? Exalt does not send or receive text messages

    My Exalt Android phone will not send or receive text messages and the Verizon support area is not responding.

        We apologize for the delay, DieselDoug!
    What device do you have exactly? We want to make sure we get the texts to work again. We are not familiar with Exalt Android.
    Are you using  a text app?

    TechCrunch posted a solution today that applies to this problem, I think.
    Go to: https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do
    Click your old iPhone and "unregister" it.

  • My iPhone 4 will not send or receive texts.

    My iPhone 4 has all the latest software in it. It will not send or receive texts. When trying to send a text it says not delivered .It was working and then just stopped. I did a reset on the phone but it didn't seem to help me.

    SMS is a carrier feature, what did they tell you whether your SMS is properly provision?

  • I have an iphone 4s unlocked with att prepaid plan (non-contract), everything was working perfect BUT since i update to IOS6 i can not send MMS to anybody has Android, i went to att technical center they said only apple store can fix the problem, i went..

    I have an iphone 4s unlocked with att prepaid plan (non-contract), everything was working perfect BUT since i update to IOS6 i can not send MMS to anybody has Android, i went to att technical center they said only apple store can fix the problem, i went to Apple store MANY times they could not fix it, so they gave me a new iphone 4s and they said they fixed it but they did not,iam so mad that's not fair, can somebody help me please.

    The nice thing about owning this overpriced POS is that Apple not only doesn't support it, but also doesn't want to hear about anything negative regarding it.  So I spoke to the so-called "support" people at Apple who successfully screwed up my contacts beyond repair.  I got a nice email from Apple asking me to rate the support I got.  I was actually civil and described the issue tactfully.  What do I get in return?  Nothing.  Not a damned thing!!  You're luck you've got me by the short hairs on a 2 year contract but I'm still tempted to throw this POS through the front window of the nearest Apple store!!  Not only will I be replacing this phone with a competitive product but I won't be buying anymore Apple crap.  I guess when you con 27 million people into believing your rhetoric and sales lies, you don't have to care whether some customers get screwed or not.  I'll be going back to Verizon and threatening legal action if they don't take this electronic dung heap back but I'm sure the teams of lawyers Apple and Verizon have on staff have insured that I have no rights in this matter and you're free to screw me anytime you please.  Sad. I used to love Apple as a company and your products.  Now you're just another Microsoft with more trendy looking junk.  I've had it with you.  If any of your executives are brave enough to talk to me, please contact me at your convenience.

  • IPhone6 is not sending or receiving texts from non-Apple users, except when in Group texts. I've tried the various fixes on the main support page to no avail. Any ideas?

    Have you contacted your carrier to make sure there's no issues with your account?

  • Imessages not sending/ receiving.  All texts made to other iphone users produce an error message where it shows as it was unable to deliver, however, the messages go through, but error still comes up after each imessage sent.  this does this for each text

    I have the Iphone 5S.  Over the last few days, I continually get mail delivery errors when imessages are sent to any contacts who have iphones.  I have spoken to my friends/ family who are also on the receiving/ sending end of my messages.  They also say that they are receiving an error/ mail delivery error when they send imessages to my phone.  Text messages are working fine (with other phones that are not iphones) and no delivery errors come up.  However, it is just with me sending or receiving imessages.  I have gone in to settings> messages> send & receive and all my information is right.  I have also attempted to cut the phone off and back on (hard reset as well) and this has not fixed the problem.  I then explored to see if my software was out of date, however, i have the most up to date software for the iphone 5 S.  Does anyone know of a way to fix this problem, as it is annoying to both me and anyone else who has an iphone that sends me a text/ imessage as it will *alert* that there was a delivery failure.
    Please help!!

    There could be a problem with iMessage, although usually when there is an outage these boards are flooded with problems.    It could be a very isolated issue, and if just started all of a sudden, it might be something at Apple.
    Although it is annoying, I would just wait it out a few days and see if it goes away on its own.

  • Why does deregister page not send me a text

    I go to the deregister page and put my  number in for it to send me a text.  The text never comes.  Thanks a lot apple!!!

    Hi there kelamb10,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    The article linked below provides information about the process of deregistering iMessage and it also provides tips that explain why you may not have received a text message after deregistering.
    Deregister iMessage: Frequently Asked Questions - Apple Support
    I entered my phone number but never got a code. Why?
    Double check to be sure you entered your number correctly.
    The phone you're using might not show a notification when you get a text message. Open the text messaging app on your phone and look for the message.
    If you still can't find the text with the code, ask your wireless phone carrier if they allow people to send SMS texts to your phone number using short codes. Also, if you transferred your phone number very recently, you might not be able to get SMS messages yet while your carrier updates their system with your new information.
    Take care,
    -Jason
