Iphone 5 will not deliver text messages

I phone 5 will not send or receive text messages, red message pops up "Not Delivered".  It will send and receive text messages only if a picture is attached.  I have confirmed with my service provider that text messaging is included and part of the phone service.  iMessage and FaceTime when turned on says "waiting for activation".  Took the phone to Apple store the other day.  After 3 hours they reset the phone several times, checked the software, and did who know what else only to tell me iMessage was down or being worked on and it should work in a little while.  To ensure it was not a hardware issue I pressed Apple for a little insurance, they swaped the orgnal phone for a new phone.  This did not fix the issue.  Still no text message.

Having the same problem here. Stuck at work so I haven't had a chance to look into it, but everything else (data/voice/etc) works fine, so I have a hard time believing the phone is to blame. Anyone else experiencing this?

    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 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.

  • Droid maxx hd will not send text messages

    Is anyone else having this problem? Phone started not sending text messages. I have deleted Apps, pics, texts, etc and it starts to work for a bit then does the same thing.

    Have you tried clearing system cache on your phone, I'd clear cache's for your Text messages then clear the system cache, make sure to power cycle your phone this can help as well..

  • My Iphone 4 will not send text messages to one contact

    A week ago my friend just stopped receiving my text messages.  I have an Iphone 4 on Verizon and she has a Samsung Smart phone on Sprint network.  I am able to get hers and when I reply mine look as if they are going through but she does not get them. I have tried deleting her as a contact, re-entering her..she has done the same on her end. I have reset settings and nothing helps! Any ideas?? We thought it was her phone and she took it to Sprint an it is not. I am able to send and receive text messages to all of my other contacts.

    Reset network settings in Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.
    Sometimes something hinky goes on with the cell coverage, and that's one way to try to fix it.

    I cannot receive text messages on my new samsung phone from any of my old iphone contacts.  I was told that I need to close my icloud in order to fix this problem but i can't find a way to close my icloud account.  Help...

    You can try changing the password for the Apple ID you were using for iMessage on your iPhone by going to https://iforgot.apple.com.  If that doesn't help, you'll have to contact Apple support for assistance: http://www.apple.com/support/contact/.

  • IPhone 6 plus will not send text messages

    I just got an iPhone 6 plus and am having trouble with text messages. I try to send a simple several sentence text message (no photos) and it appears to start to send but gets hung up and never completes.
