IPhone 4 occasionally not receiving messages from one iPhone 4s

My iPhone 4 Verizon 16 GB is occasionally not recieving messages from my friend's iPhone 4s Verizon 16GB occaisionally for no good reason that I can find.
I have HEAVY experience with iOS and many iDevices, so I can say that I know my way around an iPhone a bit, thats why this is really confusing me, I have tried doing a full factory reset of my iPhone and that didnt help either.
I don't pay for 3G since i use Page Plus Cellular, so when i leave WiFi it switches to text instead of iMessage, her iPhone is the only one that when she replies to my texts occaisionally I will not ever get them. it's getting very annoying once I haven't gotten a reply in a half hour to just send a text saying "resend" all the time... Any solutions would be greatly appreciated!

HI Friend,
Try to unsign and sign in again.
For FaceTime and iMessage chosse to use your email address instead of your mobile number.
Go to Settings>>Message>>Send&Receive and set your email address.
If it is still not working, unsign your Apple ID and select your mobile number ("+" "country code" "mobile number").
Turn off Show Subject in Settings>>Message
Reset the Network Setting, which makes your phone to forget every networks and passwords that you connected your phone to.
to reset the Network Settings just go to Settings - General - Reset (at the bottom) - Reset Network Settings.
I remember when I reset the Network Settings, i turned off iMessages. I connected to my home Wi-Fi and surfed the web for a little while. Sent some regular SMS messages, and about 10min later, I turned on iMessages again and sent a text to a friend with an iPhone and it started working as iMessage! Baloons finally became blue.
Go to www.apple.com or Settings>>iCloud then access your Apple ID. There you can edit your information, placing your phone number and tap OK. then go to iMessage settings and mark your phone number to receive iMessages.
Also check in: Settings>>Message if you turned on iMessage before. Here, turn off "Show Subject Field".
Change your address for your currently location. If not works, change it for your native country.
Did you turn on iCloud as well?

Not receiving messages from one contact

After updating my iPhone 5 to ios8, i haven't been receiving iMessages from one of my contacts in either group messages or individual messages. He has an iPhone 4 with ios7 and can see the messages i send him but when he sends a message back I do not receive it. I tried restarting my phone, turning iMessage on and off, and resetting my network connections and nothing has helped. Any ideas?

Hi i had the exact same problem with my phone on the same day and its still like it how did you fix it? thanks

Not receiving messages from one person

They can recieve my messages but I don't get there's? Everyone else I've text there hasn't been a problem. I've checked whether it's interference with iMessage and it hasn't been, anyone have ideas?

Hello diamondteardrop1,
I understand text is an important form of communication. I have a few questions to ask to help narrow the resolution. Have you ever received text from this person in the past? If so, when did this begin? Can you send text to this person? Has the other person observed any trouble with other people not receiving their text? If so, we may need to troubleshoot their phone. To address your device first you can attempt this troubleshooting step. Delete that person's contact information and the text thread (all conversations with this person in your text inbox) and re-add the contact and try a test text from the user. Please respond if this was successful and or if you need any additional assistance. Please include the answers to the above questions as well. Thank you.

IPhone won't receive emails from one specific person

My iPhone 4S will not receive emails from one specific person.
It sends and receives emails from anyone else ok, I can send emails to this person with out problem, but it will not receive them.
If I check my webmail it is there, but it won't download to my phone? If I forward their email to myself from the web the forwarded one will be there, but not their original?
I receive emails from others in the organisation ok. And it used to receive them all ok, on about December 27th it stopped?
Anyone have any ideas on why this has happened and what I can do to fix it.
Thanks
Mike

She did have a 1 in front of the number, however she deleted it and the texts still aren't going through. Any idea what else it could be?
EDIT: Spoke too soon, just came through. It was just liek 20 minutes delayed.

Not receiving texts from some iphone users.. anybody know whats up with that?

Just got Samsung S4 and I'm not receiving texts from some iPhone users.
Do i have something set up wrong?

It appears you have moved from an iPhone to an android phone. The problem you are having is because you did not deactivate your iMessage service before leaving.
If you still have your iPhone, you can re-activate it and then
turn on iMessage in the settings
uncheck your email and phone number
turn off iMessage
Settings>Messages
If you don't have your phone or don't want to go thru the hassle of reactivating it, you can simply call Apple at 800-694-7466 and ask them to turn off your iMessage.

HT201269 how do i transfer messages from one iphone to another

how do i transfer messages from one iphone to new iphone

"There is nothing there when I go to it."
What does "there" mean? What does "it" mean?
If you saved a backup in iCloud or iTunes, and then restored that backup to a newer device, you would see the messages ... assuming the newer device uses the same telephone number and cellular carrier as the old one did.

Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app. I am certain other applications also need this information. Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information. Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.
When a solution is found please mark the post that solves your issue.

Recently started not receiving texts from one person - AT&T user, also HTC One

I recently started not receiving texts from one person. He also has an HTC One (older model) but has AT&T as his provider. We were texting back and forth last Friday morning (11/8) and then he called me and ever since then I have not received a single text he has sent. He is receiving all of mine and we can receive phone calls back and forth, but his text messages are not coming through. We have both tried restarting our phones and I have also tried deleting him as a contact and recreating it however nothing works. I checked to make sure he was not blocked (which I knew wasn't the case since I could receive phone calls from him as well), and even tried turning the "block contact" on and back off. Any solutions would be greatly appreciated. Right now we are using work arounds with google-talk and facebook messenger but it's very frustrated for me to not receive any of the texts that his phone is saying I am receiving.
It had started sporadically over the past few weeks where I would miss a text from him every once in awhile, but now I am receiving nothing. He is the only one that I am having this issue with as I have texted back and forth with multiple others the past few days with no issues.
Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi! I'm also having the same problem. I have an iphone 5 & one person (who also has an iphone 5 but has AT&T as a provider). We had been able to send & receive phone calls & texts until mid-November. Now, we can both give & receive phone calls from each other and she receives my texts, however, I DON"T receive hers. In fact, if I'm in a group text message with her, I don't receive any of the texts that include her, even though I can give/receive texts individually from the others in the group message. The other two in the group message CAN receive both her texts & mine. This is so strange - I was left out of a whole thread of text messages & none of us knew it. They thought they were including me (nothing bounced back) & I didn't know I wasn't receiving them. Since her texting works with both of the others, I'm concluding the problem must be with my phone. Do I have an incorrect setting? I'm not sure what could have happened. PLEASE help!
