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

  • IPhone slow to send text messages (iOS6)

    Hi,
    since the update to iOS6, my iPhone 3GS has been incredibly slow to send text messages. It takes upwards of 5 minutes to send a text message not even 100 characters long. It is certainly not the network because I also had this issue in another town some 40 miles away. I have sent messages to multiple contacts, all with different carriers than me or the same carrier as me and the problem persists with all my contacts. Does anyone else have this issue or a solution?
    Kind regards

    SMS requires a cellular connection. iMessage (to other iOS users) and instant messaging apps like Whatsapp, LifeProfile, Pinger, etc, will work over any data connection, including WiFi.

  • Does anyone have a clear solution as to why my new iPhone will not send text messages to some numbers.

    Does anyone have a clear solution as to why my new iPhone 5 will not send text messages to some numbers?

    I had problems the first few days with text messaging on my new cell. I checked my new contract service thru AT&T online, and it turned out the guy who set up my phone didn't sign me up for the unlimited texting I told him I HAD to have!  I just had to add texting back into my contract.....problem solved.  I hope your problem is solved this easily.

  • IPhone 4s wont send picture messages to non iPhone users.

    I've tried reinstalling the IOS 6, changing the settings, shutting off the phone. I can not send picture messages to non iPhone users but can send texts and receive texts and receive picture messages. just can't send. Help.

        jannwj, sending and receiving pictures is very important these days because we try to capture the moment all the time. I know this issue is frustrating because I take, send, and receive pictures at least 20 times a day. I researched  your issue and did not find this as a known issue. Do you receive a error message? I recommend checking your message settings to ensure they are enabled. I have listed the steps below:
    1) From the home screen, select Settings.
    2) Select Messages.
    3) From MMS Messaging, drag the switch left or right to enable / disable.  Enabled when set to ON.
    Please let me know if this helps. Also ensure the data network is enabled. I have listed steps below:
    1) From the home screen, select Settings.
    2) Select General.
    3) Select Cellular.
    4) Drag the Cellular Data switch left or right to enable / disable cellular data.
    On /Celluar data enabled
    Off /Cellular data disabled
    Keep us posted with the status of your issue.

  • Iphone 5s cant send text message to Android Phone

    Hi... Recently text messaging stopped working to an android phone on T mobiles network. I have an Iphone 5s and text messaging was working fine until Sunday. My friend has an android phone. I receive text messaging from them but they don't receive mine. Does anyone know what to do here? I have done full resets, turned off data, and any other thing I could think of. Any help would be appreciated.

    Make sure the contact has a 10-digit number, not just the 7-digit number.
    If that isn't it, does the problem only happen with iMessages, SMS or MMS messages?
    Try tapping Settings > Messages, then turn SMS and MMS off. Test, then repeat again only leaving SMS or MMS on.
    This Apple doc has some good tips too -> iOS: Troubleshooting Messages

  • Iphone 4s wont send photo messages, mms

    i got my i phone 4s a few days ago and i wont send mms, i have contacted 02 they say its not there problem , Apple say its a softwear problem.
    does anyone else have a problem with sending MMS ?

    On your phone go to settings - message -and see if mms messaging is turned on.
    Or check with your carrier and see if it is even activated.

  • Iphone wont send text messages for 10-15 minutes

    Occasionally I will send out a text to somebody and it will get to about 95% and stop for about 10 minutes. At this time, I can't send a text to anyone, receive a text from anyone, and all my conversations with my friends become erased. After about 15 minutes, they will return and I get bombarded with texts and such. Anyone experience this and know what exactly to do to make it stop? Thank you.

        Hi billyhil25,
    Let's see what causing the problem! When did the issue begin? Current zip code? Are you using standard messaging or iMessage? I look forward to hearing form you soon.

  • IPhone 5 cannot send text message

    I live in Thailand and have an annoying problem with my iPhone5 messaging. In the first day of two I had successfully sent and received iMessage, MMS and normal SMS to other non iPhone recipients. Now after only a few days I cannot send SMS or iMessage at all to various friends.
    I had reset the network settings yesterday and today I had restored factory settings then restored back from iCloud but I have exactly the same problem. When sending an SMS a red exclamation mark icon appears with a message 'Not Delivered'.
    Also yesterday my provider here in Thailand sent a code in an attempt to fix this problem but that didn't work. If I need to reply to someones SMS I have to send an MMS.
    Anybody have a solution yet. Do I have a faulty unit or can Apple fix this ??
    Please help.

    I would start by disabling iMessage first and see if that helps.
    You can also try resetting your network settings.
    To do so click SETTINGS/GENERAL/RESET then select RESET NETWORK SETTINGS.
    A third but uglier solution would be to restore your phone from a backup or as new to see if that helps.
    Good luck!

  • One of my contacts just recently went from an older phone to an iphone and my iphone us still sending text messages rather than imessages. How can i fix this?

    I have tried switching the contact from mobile to iphone. I have also tried deleting the conversation from the message screen but nothing seems to be changing my messages to that contact to imessages.

    Changing the label for the cell phone number has no effect on this.
    You are certain this contact has registered iMessage on their iPhone and has iMessage turned on?
