International Texting - Messages not being sent.

I maintain regular contact with somebody overseas, and we have used internatonal texting often on a daily basis for the past few years. Recently, most of my messages have stopped coming through. Yesterday afternoon, I sent five consecutive text messages. The reciever did not get anything until this morning, and it was only one of the five messages I sent. The rest seem to have been lost (I'm ommitting the fact that the message that WAS recieved, was missing the last two characters a minor gripe).
Knowing this, I re-sent one of the five messages that was lost but 45 minutes later, it still did not come through. I then dialed *228 and updated my roaming capabilities, as it was recommended here. I sent another, fresh, short text message but this one was not received either. 
I am texting somebody in Poland. This has worked (as far as I know) without a hitch for a long time, and I still receive every message that is sent to me.
1) I would like to know how to fix this.
2) I would like to know if I'm being charged for every text message that Verizon fails to send?

That's strange that it would stop all of a sudden. Did either of you add an app or change anything?
I would try deleting each other as a contact, then one of you try to send a message to the other using the full 10-digit number. If that is successful, add the contact back from the received message, and then REPLY to that message so the other can add from the received message.
Something may have happened to corrupt one or both contacts so things are messed up. By deleting (then reboot the phone) and adding back in it may solve the issue.
it may not, but it's worth a try.

  • Text messages not being sent with Google Now or in Car Mode

    When attempting to send a text message by voice using either Google Now or when in Car Mode, the text message gets created correctly to the right person, and the content of the message is correct.  When I confirm to send the message, I always get "Message Not Sent".  I'm able to send text messages manually using the standard Messages app.  Researching this issue, I've seen that there are some others having the same problem but I have not found or heard of a resolution. 

    I don't have a Verizon Messages app.

  • Calls not coming through, text messages not being sent

    My Note 2 has been acting up the last several days, and since I use this phone as my primary business line. My text messages are hit & miss when sending/receiving, and when clients calls - i pick up, and NOTHING. and when i try to call back - NOTHING.. just silence, not even a ring. What gives?
    Why is my phone doing this? This is frustrating.

    There is two things to try.
    1) hold down the power button and the large center button until the iPhone resets. ( hard reset) if that corrects the problem all is well. http://m.wikihow.com/Hard-Reset-an-iPhone
    2) go into settingshttp://ipod.about.com/od/iphonetroubleshooting/ht/Factory-Reset-Iphone-4.htm which is a total reset of the device. Then it takes you through the set up process again. You will need your apple id  and password. You will also have to click on the phone icon, voicemail and follow the set up prompts. Under settings mail ,cntacts and calendars you then enter your email settings again. You will want to turn on imessage in the settings. Your apps can be reloaded either via iTunes on a computer or from the Apps Store on the device, under purchased, not on this iPhone.
    All this is on the phones manual under Safari. Or online owners manual.
    Good Luck

        Hey Robe_93!
    I am very sorry to learn about your messaging problems! I know that this is not the best first impression of the phone that we want for you, so allow me to help!
    When you try and send a text, does it give you an error? How are your calls? Are you using the original text messaging application with the device? Any other issues that you can see? Anything to help us diagnose the problem....
    Thanks!

  • Text messages not being sent out!

    Hi
    What a weekend!  BB's gone haywire - took to Orange and can't replaced as I'm over the 12 month warranty and my insurance's stopped (stupid Tesco!) Orange suggested I buy another phone eg pay as you go so I did - got Rio but I hate it now due to complicated emails as I rely on my BB to get lots of emails and texts.
    However I switched my contract SIM back to my BB but I can get texts from people BUT I can't send it out!
    Reason why I took to Orange is because I cannot talk on the phone as it shows the headset and another box appeared on the top right hand corner - so it's faulty plus the camera's gone...... what next?  
    Any ideas on how can I send text messages out - I can use the BB Messenger fine but just the text isn't working.  Emails are working fine and so is the internet.
    Really appreciate for any help.  
    Thank you. 

    Please also clarify if you have any reception issues where you are using the phone or if you have tested another SIM in your phone?

  • International texts are not being received?

    Hello folks
    I have an iPhone 5.
    I can make and receive local and international calls. I can send and receive local text messages. I can receive international text messages but cannot send them. I have an International calling and texting plan.
    iMessage works fine as does Viber. I have been in contact with Verizon and have been told everything is working fine. They say my text messages are being sent. But none of my international contacts receive them. My international contacts have service providers that are on the Verizon list and they all can receive international texts.
    I also contacted Apple and they said the problem was with Verizon as the phone works fine.
    Does anyone else have this or a similar issue? It's very frustrating.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks

    My text messages are being sent and received with my email address instead of my phone number. How do I fix this?

  • Nokia 3110 Classic Messages not being sent

    sent messages are being 'saved for sending' in outbox and not being sent. Message details give me a 'failed delivery' report. Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Check if you have the right message centre number.
    Messages sent by your phone are routed through your service provider's message center. Normally, this number is saved to your phone by your service provider. To save the number manually, do the following:
    At the Start screen, press Menu 01-6 (Messages - Message settings).
    "Text messages" is highlighted. Press Select.
    "Sending profile" is highlighted. Press Select.
    "Default profile" is highlighted. Press Select.
    Scroll to "Message centre number" and press Select.
    If the box in the display is empty, enter the number given by your service provider and press OK.
    OR
    If the box in the display is full, edit the number only if you are sure the number is incorrect, or you want to change the number, and press OK.
    A message appears in the display that confirms your number is saved.

  • Cc messages not being sent

    I have just realized that mail messages I have been copying to people in the 'cc' header section of mail (version 2.1) are not being sent out. I use .Mac account.
    Any thoughts?

    Does not being sent out mean these messages remain in the Outbox?
    If a message cannot be successfully sent, it will remain in the Outbox mailbox.
    A successfully sent message will be placed in the account's Sent mailbox and a successfully sent message is either accepted or rejected by the recipient's incoming mail server.
    If rejected by the recipient's incoming mail server for whatever reason, you will received a return email error message from the recipient's incoming mail server indicating why the message was not accepted.
    If no such error message is received, this indicates the message was accepted by the recipient's incoming mail server and what happens to the message after that is beyond our control.

    Why is my messages not being delivered?

    1. Messages on the iPad can only be sent to other iDevices
    2. The receiving party must also be registered with iMessage
    Note: The two above conditions must be met.

  • Since updating to OS5, my text messages are being sent as e-mails.  Also, my contacts do not show the people's phone

    Since updating my iPhone 4 to iOS5, it seems my texts are being sent as e-mails or in e-mail form. The person I am texting gets a phone number and not my name.  Also, when I click on contacts to text to, where it used to show the phone number and I would touch the number to text, it just shows the persons name, no phone#.
    Thanks for any help!

  • How come after the upgrade to iOs 6 my text messages are being sent to people that I am not even sending them to!

    So I updated to iOs 6 (4s phone) and today all the text messages I received were also sent to my son's 4s as well (he is on iOs 6 now too)  ***???  Can anyone help me out on this one?????

    Did you by chance give your son your old iphone 4s and activate a new iphone 4s?  If so, you may need to contact your carrier or wait the period of time required for it to finally switch.
