IPhone 4 failure to send texts with OS7

Anyone else having text messages stuck in sending mode?

I have been having this problem for bsolutely months now with my iPhone. Now 3 phones later (3GS), new sim card, new number and some network fiddling with my account by O2 I am still having this problem. What happens with me is if someone send me a long message, usually if it is over 4 texts or longer (sometimes happens with just 3) then the phone wont receive it. This will then, 9 times out of ten, lock the phone up meaning I cant receive calls or texts or make calls or texts. I have to turn off then back on, or turn airplane mode on then off to unblock the phone. After apple not knowing what the problem was, and O2 not caring, I did some testing myself. When I restore the phone it is fine, when I install apps it is fine, it is only when the apps have been loaded up for the first time especially ones that save ur login in details such as facebook. Once they have been used, and closed down, they seem to affect the network and not let large amounts of data in such as a long texts. Now to me this is a carrier and Apple problem surely. Not allowing texts messages through cause apps are taking up to much bandwidth!!
I am in the UK and on O2 in the Portsmouth area. Strangely though, this problem doesn't happen when I am in Bognor. It is almost as if there is less people using the bandwidth there so O2 have more space to puch the messages through despite the apps restricting the amount.
Any thoughts? I think this issue needs to be made more public for networks and Apple to look at!

    My iPhone wont let me send text messages to numbers with a different area code. How do I fix this so I can send texts to these numbers?

    If it shows up in iTunes and you can sync the phone, could be that the docking port is damaged.
    You should get it serviced or looked at by visiting an Apple Store or contacting Apple:

    Have you tried logging out of your Apple ID with iMessage followed by logging back in?

  • My iPhone has suddenly started sending texts from email address. Any ideas on how to fix?

    Hi my iPhone has just started sending texts from email account. This only happens when the text is sent to other iPhone users. Weirdly it jumps between normal text address and back to email. Any ideas?

    When I turn iMessage off, it sends from my phone number.  When I turn it back on and check the caller ID, it has my phone number checked, however, when I start texting again, people are still receiving the messages from my email.  Any advice?

  • I iphone 4 is not sending texts to my friends and family with iphones.  The blue messages are not going through.  My green messages are going through. Help!

    My Ipone is not sending text messages. i can recieve the messages, but my replies are not being sent.. this seems to only be an issue to sendin to other iphones.  The blue messages are not being sent.  if the box is green, the meessage is sent.this seems to ahve started after i down;oaded the latest operating system.  HELP!!

        Welcome to the Verizon family, ivpacks! I regret to learn that your alarms didn't work. I also regret that there is a problem with the messages. Have you tried the alarm again? Does it still not work? For instance, just set the alarm for a couple of minutes away to ensure that the alarm goes off.
    When you send a text, do you get an error? If you power the phone off/on, do the messages send? This particular issue is expecting a software update to resolve the issue with texts and picture messages.
    I believe that you have chosen a great device, but keep in mind that there is a 14 day exchange period. If you exchange for the same make/model, you will not pay the restocking fee.
    If you do exchange for a different make/model, there is a $35.00 restocking fee.

  • Why can't I send text with FindMyiPhone anymore?

    I was able to send text messages with my iPhone 4 up until I upgraded to IOS 5.Then the text option disappeared. I can either select "play sound," "lost mode," or "erase ipad." Nothing more. None of them have the additional option to send a text message.
    If this is the case, I'll find another app to do the job. I was very disappointed when that fuction disappeared.

  • IPhone 3GS won't send texts anymore!

    I have an iPhone 3GS, and since I upgraded to iOS5 it won't send text messages! I have plenty of service, but I can't send texts. The bar will get close to the end, but never say "message sent". I've rebooted and reset everything already multiple times and it STILL won't work. I turned off my 3G and it STILL won't work. it's driving me crazy! It never did this until I upgraded the software. someone please tell me how to fix it!

    If you've talked to your cell provider, to verify nothing is wrong on the account provisioning end, the next step would be a device "restore".  This would be the logical next step to take after "reboot and reset".
