Iphone 5 not getting text from new numbers?

im on ios 7.0.4. Recently, ive been having the problem of not getting messages from new numbers. I receive all texts and calls from all current phone numbers ive ever had contact with. But for the past month, any new numbers that text me first, i do not receive them. But if i text and or call them first, it works fine. Which isnt always a convinence. They sent me screen shots of my number and their text; they all have different phones on different services.

    Perk123, this is a text messaging mystery! I'm on the case. I recommend that delete all unwanted text messages on your device and power it off/on to soft reset it.
You will also need to advise your friend that has the AT&T iPhone to reset the network on their device. This can be done by accessing Settings >General >Reset >Reset Network.
Lastly your friend needs to verify if your contact has been set up to block calls and text messages from your mobile number. This option is located in Contacts >your contact> Block this caller.
Keep us posted.

    Turn off iMessage on the iPhone as should have been done prior to switching devices.
    Settings > Messages > iMessage > OFF

    If you no longer have the phone you will need to contact Apple support to deactivate iMessage. Use the following link then "Other Apple ID topics" then "Messages and Apple ID" https://getsupport.apple.com/Issues.action

  • Not getting texts from iphone users on my new LG S2 phone

    Just purchased a LG G2 phone and people who have iphones text me but I'm not receiving them. I've turned off imessaging on old phone and on ipad, deactivated my old iphone online and still can't receive texts.

    It can take up to 48 hours for the change to take effect if you followed the recommended steps, or up to 30 days if you did not.
    Alternatively, you can contact Apple Support for assistance as well.

  • IPhone 5c getting Texts from another iPhone 5c. Why???

    I recently got my parents, each, an iPhone 5c. At first I was going to make them share an iTunes account, because they really don't know how to use it anyway and they hate putting passwords everywhere. Eventually, I set up a 2nd iTunes account for the 2nd phone. I went through, the mail, imessage, facetime and all the apps needed to change the information.
    For some reason when ever my mom sends a text message or recieves it, it also shows up on my dad's phone! But it doesn't happen visaversa. I checked the imessage info and it's correct, just his itunes and his phone number. This just happens to my dad's cell, and they are only my mom's text messages. How do I turn this off/disconnect what is going on?
    Please help, thanks!

    simply uncheck the apple ID in the message settings on your Dad's device and leave the phone number only, checked marked... good luck

  • Still get messages from blocked numbers?

    I've blocked numbers through the call and message blocking service but I still get texts from those numbers... Help!!!  It only allows me to block ten digit numbers but the messages come from a +1 (xxx) xxx-xxxx number.

    Do you have an Iphone? Because sometimes Imessage can still come through, if not, call Customer Service at 1-800-922-0204, they'll be able to force through the block

  • Switched from iPhone 5 to Galaxy Note 3 and not getting texts

    switched from iPhone 5 to Galaxy Note 3 and not getting texts
    Turned off I message. Now what?

    Do not expect ANY help from Apple.
    I switched to a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and have been gettig the run around for the last FOUR weeks...the tech I spoke with only returned one of my many phone calls after our initial conversation (in which she told me she reset the computer and I should be all set in 48 hours) to say it should clear itself up, there is nothing she can do to help.

  • Not recieving texts from Iphone users

    Just signed up with Verizon and got my new LG G2 but I'm unable to receive or send messages to IPhone users. I've already tried downloading the Verizon messages app and done a factory reset on my phone. Not sure what else to try here. I've never owned an IPhone so the deregister of Imessage does no good. Any Ideas??

    Is this your first cell phone ever? If not, were you able to receive texts from iPhone users on your previous cell phone(s)?
    Have you inquired with your contacts what color of bubble is around the text messages they are sending you? If it is blue, they are attempting to send it as an iMessage and think your phone is an iPhone. If it is green, they are attempting to send it as a text.
    As Snn5 has stated, there is a setting in iMessages which much be turned on to send messages as SMS/MMS if iMessage is unavailable. It is possible that this is not set such that a SMS/MMS can be sent.
    Do you not receive texts from ANY iPhones or do messages from some iPhones get thru?

    I unregistered my iphone but still am having issues getting texts from iphone users. Anyone know how to fix this?

    Turn off iMessage on the old iPhone.
    Restore the iPhone as new.
    Have the other iPhone users delete the current message thread, and start a new messae to you.
    Have the other iPhone users delete your contact, then re-add it.
    Go to ww.icloud.com and remove the device from your Find My iPhone.
    Go to appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and/or password.
    Contact Apple Support at getsupport.apple.com for further assistance if these steps don't work.
    Wait about 30 days for the iMessage server to self-correct the issue.

  • I get a "message not found" text from "Unknown". I'm getting some of my texts but I don't think all. I appreciate any help! Thx!

    I get a "message not found" text from "unknown". what is this and how do I get it to stop? Thanks!!

    Did you jailbreak your iPhone? If you did, that's probably why you're seeing those messages, see this Apple doc -> Unauthorized modification of iOS has been a major source of instability, disruption of services, and other issues
    Try restarting or restoring the iPhone.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You could simply set each device to only use a single telephone number (settings > messages > send & receive, but this isn't really an ideal solution since the other person can always change their settings and see your messages and send messages that appear as if they are from you. There is only one real solution and that's to have your own accounts.

    You each need to have separate Apple IDs and separate user accounts. Better yet, separate computers as well.
