IPhone 4S cannot receive SMS from Blackberry World Edition

I bought an iPhone 4S, and my mother sent me an SMS from her Blackberry World Edition, yet I could not receive it. I was able to send a text to her, and she could get it, and we can both call each other. We are both under Verizon's family plan. I can get my father's texts from a Blackberry Curve (also on the plan). I've tried a hard reset already as well.
Any advice? Thanks!

Yes, I can connect both to a cellular network and to a Wi-Fi network.  I can send and receive SMS texts and iMessages to other iPhone users. Not all sent messages are received by iPhone 5 users; and I don't receive all messages from iPhone 5 users.

  • Iphone 4 only receiving sms from certain networks- help?!!!!

    Iphone 4 is only receiving sms from certain networks - help?!!!

    Have you contacted your carrier to report the problem? This is not (and can not be) a problem with the phone. It's a problem with your carrier and/or the way they have your service provisioned.

  • Cannot receive SMS from Verizon?!!

    A little history, I was a Verizon customer until 11/2007 when I switched to the iPhone and to AT&T. My number was ported from Verizon to ATT and the iPhone worked just fine. I could get and send text messages to/from Verizon customers up until October 2008, when it just quit working. I could send SMS to Verizon customers, but I am not receiving them for some reason.
    I've called ATT and spent hours on the phone with no solution, they are saying that this is the first they have heard about it and that it must be Verizon's problem. Called Verizon and they wont open a trouble ticket because I am not a customer, but said that everything was ported correctly from my old account and that it is ATT's problem... help.. lol.

    I spoke to the AT&T reps the evening of 3/23. I was told that there was indeed a problem with texting FROM Verizon To the 3g. My family is on Verizon and they text some of their girlfriends who are on AT&T but do not have iPhone 3gs and they go back and forth just fine. It is only my 3g that will not receive texts from Verizon although I can send to Verizon just fine. The AT&T representative gave me two case numbers for the several calls she has received just that evening.

  • Cannot receive SMS from out of network carriers

    Last Friday at about 10.30am I received my last SMS from an out of service carrier, ever since then I have spent countless hours with sprint on the phone, we have 2 bb curves with the same problem, the phones have been wiped, re registered , provisioned etc. Anyone have any clue what could be happening. This is insane. I cn receive e-mails, sent SMS and mms to anyone, just can't receive a reply, unless it's a sprint customer. There is 2 more smartphones on the account, that do not have this problem.  Please Help.  

    Do you have good wifi or 3G connection when you are trying to send the message.
    I get those undelivered message when I have a week connection.

  • IPhone 4 cannot receive photos from 3GS

    randomly my iPhone 4 stopped accepting photos from a 3gs. Says Content was removed because your handset cannot display it. I updated to the newest version and the photo came through, but then stopped again.

    Welcome to the discussions,
    if you restored your phone from your last backup on your computer, it seems this backup is corrupt and every time your damaged data is copied back to your phone making it unusable.
    The only thing you could do to save at least some of the data would be syncing the contacts and events to your computer, after you restored "as new iphone" sync the contacts and calendars back. Use the camera wizard to copy the photos to it as well.
    As app data, like game settings for example, is part of the backup, you'll lose these settings.
    More info about the content of your backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766

  • Cannot receive SMS on iPhone 4???

    I cannot receive SMS on my iPhone 4. It can send but not receive. It may receive only if no Apps Store application installed, or while everything not interacting with the Internet. Send is ok, everything just like it can handle only one single application and no other background process. This started happen after iOS5 release, NOT after installed. After installed iOS5 with a full reset and installation from Apple Service Center, it desn't help, still cannot receive 99% SMS. And they deny to install 4.3.5 or older for me...poor service!!!!!
    The netwoek using is PCCW 3G/2G in Hong Kong. Not receiving messages problem is normal on all other Internet application, such as Whatsapp, Yahoo! everything...but now even the SMS...?! iMessage switch on or off, same, cannot receive SMS.......... What do you mean Apple??? You are really kidding... I don't want to buy 4S, anyway, we can't get it ordered nor too much problem on it at this stage.
    How the H5LL I can get this super old SMS technology work on my iPhone 4 again??????

    Check settings>message. Could be your phone number has not authenticated or verified. Check out http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2755

    Hi,
    Do you mean you are not getting SMS text messages now ?
    If so start here
    Follow the Account management options until you are offered and email contact.
    Explain the issue via email as only someone in Support can now remove your iPhone Number from iMessages if it has not "de-registered" itself correctly.

    Traded in my iPhone for a different brand of phone. I had no idea that I had to sign out of iMessage before doing this. Now, my old phone is gone and my new phone cannot receive texts from people who have iphones and had me as a contact before. They try to send an iMessage and I have no way to receive an iMessgae now. On some server somwhere my AppleID still tells people they should send me iMessages. What is the solution to this issue? Deleting my AppleID would work to solve this issue, but I cannot ever delete the ID? What can Apple do for this?

    If you did not erase your apps and data before getting rid of your old phone, try using Find My Phone and erasing everything remotely. See if this works.
