Iphone 5 receives text messages but will not send text messages

Since yesterday my boyfriends iphone 5 will not send text messages. He can receive them but when he goes to reply it doesnt work. He has turned his phone off and on and that seems to work for awhile but then the same problem happens again where he cannot send a text message. Was wondering if there was any way in fixing this or why his phone is all of a sudden doing this.

So I should update this. The phone actually loses service, I have reset the network connection as well as I have updated the carrier settings and the phone is still losing service randomly. I called the carrier and they told me there is nothhing they can do unless we bring the phone in, they believe it could be the sim card because everything on their end looks to be fine. So I'll be going to the carrier store this evening to see if they can fix the problem if not then I will be going to the apple store. Do hope this problem gets fixed soon.

  • Telus email account - can receive on pop but will not send on smtp?

    Have set up Telus account as per instructions - will receive just fine but will not send (SMTP server not responding).

    I  have this problem to amongst other errors on a brand new iMac only 1 month old. Pretty "sad" with these multi million dollar companies that cant help out the customer and give out the proper instructions that MANY people are having . At least Telus makes an attempt to help,by logging in to your computer.Apple does nothing  but help waste my time. I am already regretting getting this expensive thng and already having problems.Why cant it ever be just plug it in setup  and go ?

  • Phone has full signal but will not send texts

    I am on a contract with an S5 mini and can have it showing full signal and 4G but I have to go walk about to try to get a text to send, my friends will send me texts that arrive hours later, in a completely random order to which they were sent some have never arrived.  I use to be on O2 and in my front room I did very rarely have an issue with texts going but they would go within a minute or 2 with EE I can try switching my phone on and off and walking all round the house and the garden and they still won't go, yet I can pick up 4G and call using the phone.  This is very annoying.

    Hi I don't think that will be the answer as I don't receive 4G indoors and that is a really bad place to send and receive texts but I will try that when I am outside thanks

  • My ipad receives email with the hotel wifi but will not send.  The error message is "user name or password for ........is incorrect" but both are correct and unchanged.  Restarting iPad didnt help.

    My iPad receives email on the hotel wifi but will not send.  The error message reads "user name or password for smpt......is incorrect" but both are correct and unchanged.  Restarting iPad did not help.

    I did try this too, but when I access my webmail on the iPad, the iPad doesn't allow me to type my message.  I am able to enter in the "to" address and the "subject" line, but then the keyboard will not come up for me to type my message.  Is there some trick to this?  Very frustrating!

  • I have a tiscali email account set up on my iPhone it receives emails but will not send - any one had the same issue ?

    I have a tiscali email account set up on my iPhone it receives emails but will not send - any one had the same issue ?

    Of course you can't it is a generic document for use worldwide on every carrier mail service
    The link will tell you how to set up with the info you will have received from TalkTalk when they installed your broadband
    You just add that info for SMTP settings
    in iPhone
    settings>>>>mail contacts a7 calendars>>>chose relevant service (tiscali or TT which ever it is called >>>outgoing mail server
    all as decribed in the above document
    now read the doc again and follow the instructions once you have established the correct settings from your
    TT documentation

  • 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.

  • MMS is on but still will not send picture messages

    Every now and then I have a problem where my iPhone 4 will not send picture messages. I have checked MMS and it is on as well as cellular data and everything else involving sending or revieving data (except for mobile hotspot, but that's irrelevant).
    It will send pictures via iMessage (I sent a picture to an iTouch)
    it will not send pictures via text message.
    it WILL send text messages.
    turning WiFi off or on does not affect outcome
    turning MMS off to try to send via iMessage through WiFi results in the picture icon going away
    I've tried turning the phone on and off.
    I'm thinking there might be an error with the SIM card, where it may not think I can send picture messages...
    When sending to someone who has an iPhone, it will not try to send via iMessage it goes straight to text message.
    nothing works
    please help
    thanks.

    nevermind, I got it to work. Still don't know what happened, though...

  • My iphone 5 will not send texts by imessage

    Just last week, my iphone 5 will not send text messages to other iphones or ipads.

  • Mail receives OK but will not send for smtp account.  Exchange server receives/sends OK

    mail receives OK but will not send for smtp account.  Exchange server receives/sends OK  I'm away from home, using a family-member's wireless network that has always worked OK in the past.  Today, the same problem occured while waiting in a hospital waiting lounge.  Any ideas?

    The outgoing mail server may be rejecting mail from your network address. Typically that happens when your mail service provider is also your ISP, and you connect to it from another network. The SMTP server will allow connections without a password from anywhere, but it will only relay mail from within the ISP's network. It could also be that your account on the server has expired or been suspended.
    If you need to send mail from outside your ISP's network, use an independent mail service provider. I don't have a specific recommendation.

    This has been discussed time and again here on the forums.  Please use the search function before posting.
    A phone reset or going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings resolves the issue.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.
