I'm able to send texts to anybody, but they aren't getting through to them. They can also send texts to me perfectly fine. Is the problem with my phone?

Tried restoring with no difference. Please help!

IPhone 4 text problem but only to 1 person. Please help!

Can anyone PLEASE help? My daughter recently got an iPhone 4.Since then she has been unable to text her best friend.She can text everyone else without a problem. She can also receive texts from her friend. We have spoken to various help desks but no luck. Then she smashed the screen of it and had to get a new one (on insurance luckily for her!) Before restoring the backup from iTunes she tried to text her friend and it worked! But after the restore it was back to the same problem? Any ideas anyone?

IPhone 4s texting problems - not alerting

No other problems with the 4s except texting issue! My phone is not alerting me (Dinging) when someone sends me a text message. Sometimes it does and sometimes it does not, but 99% of teh time it does not. It started a week or two before the iO6 was released. I thought the iO6 would fix the issue but it did not. If the phone goes to “sleep” on its own while I have the message window open the phone will definitely NOT “ding”. The only way I can make it “ding” every time is to double tap the home button and close the message program from running in the background. If I push the home button and manually put the phone to sleep with it running in the background, it will not ding. It will only ding everytime if the phone is awake.
I called Verizon and they don’t know what the problem is and since the phone is less than a year old they sent me a new one today. It worked fine all day but tonight it started all over again. It’s happening from everyone who sends me a text, regardless of their phone type or carrier!
I have restored and reloaded the phone twice (old phone and new phone) and it’s not correcting the issue. I have changed alert tones, banners, everything! No fix! I’m so mad I want to scream! Is this a conspiracy to get people to buy the iphone 5???? lol
Anyone?? Anyone?? HELP

It does it to anyone that texts me... all contacts. I use the same text tone for everyone.
Called Verizon again today and they told me they are seeing more of this same problem and forwarded me to Apple. Apple, or the lady i talked to, hasnt heard of this problem. She wants me to factory rest the phone again and then do a back-up install. If this doesnt work i am to call back with my case number and speak to some special technician.
I will post my results later...

Iphone 4 Texting Problem

My wife did an update to her iphone 4S (no clue as to what or why). Since then I get cc's on all her texts if we share a common number in our contacts (and vice versa). How do I turn this off?

This is happening because you are using the same Apple ID for iMessage on both phones. You can either change the ID on one of the phones (go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, sign back in with a different ID), or uncheck the email addresses and the other person's phone number shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at" on both phones.

How can I fix my iphone 5s texting problem? It won't text or imessage to one specific contact.

I have a new iPhone 5s, and it refuses to send texts to ONE specific contact. I've tried going through the contact, groups, etc. It just glitches back to the home screen (basically telling me to f*** off and stop texting). However, i can send pics, but as soon as i send it re glitches back to the home screen, appalled I tried to read MY text convos... (Yes, I have done the obvious fixes such as restarting the phone, backing up/ restoring, and deleting the contact and remaking him...)
Thanks!!

Maybe the issue is with that contact's phone and not your phone.

Iphone 5 texting problem

Hi,
I am having issues with texting to my husbands phone. He has a new Razr and I am able to text other friends and family members and he is able to text me but doesn't get my texts. I started with Verizon customer service and the rep had me delete him from my contacts, had him delete me from his contacts, and reset my phone. That worked, for 1 day. He is now no longer getting my texts again. This is very frustrating, any ideas? He is the person that I text the most and this is annoying.
Thanks!!

Iphone 3g Texting Problem

Hi i need help when i go to send a text 90% of the time the person i send the text to doesn't receive it is there any thing i can do to fix

Try this:
Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings (may delete stored Wifi credentials too).
Also, is it the same contact, or ALL contacts? If the above fails, contact your carrier.

HT4623 My texts have stopped getting through to one of my contacts. I can phone him and I can receive his calls and messages. I am the only one of his contacts whose texts are not getting through. We have both restarted our iphones but the problem contin

My texts have stoipped getting through to one of my contacts. I can phone him and I can receive his calls and messages. I am the only one of his contacts whose texts are not getting through. We have both restarted our iphones but the problem continues.

Have you talked to your carrier (or your friend to his)? Could be an issue at their end.

Not receiving IPhone 4s text messages to S4

I upgraded my iphone 4s to a Galaxy S4 this past Saturday. I already knew I was going to have an issue with sending and receiving text messages, so I made sure I turned off my IMessage and turned off my phone when I traded in my phone.
One of my friends has a Iphone 4s, she texted me yesterday and it went through but she send she had to deliver it twice because the first time it didn't deliver. She was trying to text me this morning and it's not delivering to me again. Is this a Iphone of S4 problem? Can you help me fix this either way?! HELP!
Also I know other people that have IPhones and I am able to receive their messages. Thanks!

I have the same problem. I switched from a Verizon iPhone 4 to a Samsung Galaxy 4S in October. This is what I have done so far:
Visited two Verizon stores who both said "It's an Apple problem, not a Verizon problem." -- very unhelpful
Searched multiple forums where people are discussing this problem. I've followed every single lead I could find.
Reset my old iPhone 4 to factory settings -- lost ALL data
Changed my Apple id.
Erased my iPhone from the Apple cloud.
Made sure my family and friends with iPhones have my number listed as "mobile" not "iPhone" in their contacts
But I am still unable to get messages from other people's iPhones.
HELP!!!

My iphone 4S has problem in making and receiving the calls. While making the call , call fails and netwrok disappears. Like wise no voice is heard for incoming calls. This happened after return from the overseas travel.

I believe because you migrated from a Nokia to an iPhone you need to register the Bn phone number with your Apple ID so it can be used for iMessage. The Pn number seems to be the only one registered
Go here > https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
Manage your Apple ID and see if that does the trick
Hope that helps

I'm having a similar problem, but I do have the key and is not working anyway.
My old pc was running on windows 7 and my new one is an apple running on Lion.
My phone is an Iphone IV and I can see all the bookmarks there.
In order to sync, what I did was click on the "I don't have the device with me", I entered the key that was provided and the process finish ok. It says congratulations, etc, etc.
But the bookmarks are not there, I tried merging data and replacing data on this computer options but is the same.
Any suggestions?

IPhone 3G Reception Problems? You're Not Alone

I have the same problem with 3G coverage. I am suppose to be in a strong 3G coverage area at home. I only have 1 bar. Traveling around town (Sacramento area) my 3G coverage changes dramatically. From 1 bar to full bars? Not sure if its working properly or not??? Anyhow, this was posted on Engadget. After they exchanged their iPhone the problem went away? Could it be true? Is it the netork or our iPhones? Lets all hope nothing is wrong with our iPhones!!!!
iPhone 3G Reception Problems? You're Not Alone
One of the more disturbing things coming out of the iPhone 3G launch is reports of suspiciously poor 3G reception and speeds. Specifically, I've seen several people report one bar - specifically, one bar - of 3G reception in areas where other devices report strong reception. (More complaints at Engadget.)
This may be a problem with a batch of iPhones, or with something in AT&T's network, though I've also seen someone reporting the problem on O2 in the UK. The first review iPhone we got had this problem - it would mysteriously drop from four bars of 3G to one for no apparent reason, while our Motorola RAZR2 V9 reported better reception. Then it would shoot back up to four bars for no apparent reason a few minutes later. That unit would also occasionally throw up an "invalid SIM" error, requiring a reboot. That phone also had hideously slow 3G data speeds in the 50 kbps-150 kbps range, so the missing bars weren't just a display issue; there was something wrong with the way the phone was hitting the network.
We exchanged that iPhone for a different unit and no longer had the problem. We took the new iPhone and carried it around comparing it to a Motorola V9, and the two phones connected roughly the same number of calls on the 3G network. The new unit also had much higher data speeds in the same locations - still not great, in the 300-400 kbps range, but at least reflecting 3G.

my white iphone does the same thing. I will drop down to one bar on 3g but full strength when i turn 3g off. Some people have tried to say that it is because 3g had more difficulty going through walls. Mine will not switch between 3g and edge on it's own so i find that when at home i just have to turn off the 3g. I have also heard rumors of a bad batch of iphones. I tried to take it into the store today but they were so busy i just had to make an appointment for thursday, although i was able to replicate the problem in front of the apple geek, which was a little surprising becuase while in line outside the store i had full bars of 3g. It might just be an issue that occurs when indoors? I also have a problem with lag. I'm hoping to get it resolved thurdays, whether they give me a new phone or just tell me to eff off and deal with it. probably the latter.
