IPhone 4 wont send a text

Wondering if anybody has had this problem yet. I have had my iPhone 4 for about 2 months now and twice when I have tried to send a text, it wont send. I receive an error message saying that it wasn't sent. Phone calls still work. I read somewhere else to turn on air plane mode for 10sec then off. Tried that and it worked. Its annoying having to do this to send a text when they arent working. Anybody with the same problem or a solution?

Texts are going through your carrier's servers, so you should check with them if they ocassionaly have issues. It's unlikely an iPhone issue........

  • Iphone 4s wont send/receive text messages.

    my iphone 4s isnt sending/receiving text messages. when i try to open messages it just says "messages" at the top and then it is a blank page underneath. all of my previous texts were also erased. i updated to IOS 8 2 days ago but the problem just started today.

        detti,
    Text messages are a vital part of a working phone. We encourage you to reset your device. Please back everything up via iTunes or iCloud. Then go to Settings/General/Reset/Erase All Content and Settings. This will reset the phone and correct anything that maybe causing the issue.

  • IPhone 4 wont send a text to one person

    i am unable to send a text to one person in my contacts. i have tried everything i deleted the contact and re input it. the only thing is when i start a new message the phone number comes up as other even though the contact has been deleted. Please Heelp

    I've been having this problem as well, and it's incredibly frustrating. I called Verizon Customer Service and they were unable to help me, and I'm at a total loss. The person who is not receiving my texts is on a Droid and has T-Mobile. I was able to text her without any problems until Tuesday evening. She can text me, but she does not receive my text messages. There is no problem with actual phone calls. I already tried deleting the contact and resetting my network settings.

  • Iphone 5 wont send pictures

    Hi there,
    My iphone phone wont send pictures without me having my mob data on. Once this is on it sends without any problem. But the only problem is that the people i am trying to send photos to if they don't have internet they will not receive this???
    Is this the only way of sending?? Can there be a way like using my credit instead of mob data???
    Thanks

    Hi Paea01,
    You need some form of Internet connection, either Wi-Fi or cellular, to send and receive pictures.

  • My iphone 3gs wont send or recieve calls but sms is working

    My iphone 3gs wont send or recieve calls but sms is working.Signal is good & plenty of credit

    First step is to clean the iPhone charging port with a clean dry toothbrush, also use a bit of Isopropyll Alcohol, and clean especially the pins which are on top of the dock midrib.
    Let it dry for a minute. Then open iTunes on computer, then connect iPhone to computer, then hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone is recognized by iTunes in Recovery Mode. Usually about 20 seconds time of holding both buttons. Restore the iPhone Firmware.

  • HT201320 my iphone 4 wont send emails

    I'm having two major issues. First, my iphone 4 wont send emails. Second, my deleted emails keep coming back. Help!

    If your phone won't send emails most likely you did not enter your username and passcode for your mail account a second time, for the outgoing mail server.
    Deleted emails coming back is a more complex problem. This will occur if a mail fetch on a POP3 account is not closed properly. This can happen if you attempt to read email before it finishes coming in. When you open the email app wait until all email arrives before reading and deleting it. The phone will beep when the retrieval is finished.

    my iphone 4 wont send picture mail and my mms in on

    Are you trying to send the pic with Messages or Mail?
    If it's with Messages, this Apple doc might help ya out -> iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
    If it's with Mail, you may have to try another email provider or connecting to the Internet over another network.

  • Just moved from iphone to Samsung s3 but everytime an iphone user texts me it thinks my sim is still in an iphone device and send the text as iphone so i dont receicve the message

    Just moved from iphone to Samsung s3 but everytime an iphone user texts me it thinks my sim is still in an iphone device and send the text as imessagner so i dont receicve the message

    Do you still have the iphone? I know this has been an issue with phones that were lost or stolen, but if you still have your iphone try going into settings on that iphone and turn off imessage. See if that helps,certainly cannot do any harm.

  • Iphone 4 wont send text message

    I've got an iphone 4 and sometimes it will stop sending text messages. the send bar will load the whole way up until the last %10 then i'll get the red message send failure notice and it wont send any other texts until i turn it off then turn it back on. it's not really that big of a deal but it's really annoying. anybody know how to fix it?

    Most likely this is a carrier issue, but you can try resetting your phone - press both home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears.
    Note that your profile has inconsistent info: iPhone 4 and iOS 3.0.1. The iPhone 4 requires iOS 4.x. Please correct.

  • My iphone 4 wont send text messages

    Hi. Im using an Iphone 4g (ios 7)  that is a few years old now. up until now it had worked mostly flawlessly.just a few minutes ago i tried sending a text to someone, and this is where it gets strange. i hit send, and the little green sending bar at the ts about 95% of the way there and then it stops and ays message send failed. i tried doing a reset by holding both buttons. and when it starts up again it works momentarily before not working again. i was just wondering if you had any fixes for this since sending texts is the main reason i own this device. it may just be the fact that its new years and thousands of people are sending messages at once but i just want to see if anyone else had this issue and resolved it.
    thanks everyone.

    Call your network provider and ask if you still have the RIGHT CONFIGURATIONS on your CELLULAR DATA

  • My iphone wont send all texts to droid user

    Ok. You know how when 2 iphone/apple users are texting and both have the same software update with the Icloud that their conversation bubbles in the text message are grey and blue. Grey being what they sent you and Blue what you sent them. Furthermore, when you are texting a non-iphone/apple user the conversation bubbles are Grey*what they sent you* and Green*what you sent them*
    Now my fiance switched from her iphone 3gs to a Droid just 2 days ago.
    I have a 3gs as well and we have noticed if I or her friends using an Iphone send a text message to her and it shows up on our phones as a blue conversation bubble *as if she still has her iphone* she does not receive our texts. But if our phones send her a text and they come up as a green conversation bubble, she gets them..
    any idea on how to fix this to where all of our texts we send to her come up as a normal Green conversation bubble since she is no longer an iphone user.
    We are constantly busy and need to be in contact with each other.
    PLEASE HELP ASAP

    My husband has a new Droid (used to use an Iphone) and I have a new Iphone (used to have a 4, now have a 4S).  All texts I sent to him came back to my phone.  How we finally solved the problem:
    1) Turned out I'd registered my phone under his ICloud account.  I went onto the Apple site and registered an account with ICloud. 
    2) My husband unregistered his old Iphone per the above advice.
    3) I went into Settings - ICloud - and all the way at the bottom of that screen, selected "delete account" and deleted the account.
    4) Going back into ICloud, I re-registered under my new ID.
    5) We both rebooted our phones.
    Solved! 
    Hope that helps.
