IPhone 5 will not send/receive texts in Europe

I have an international plan activated via AT&T. On the last two trips I've made to Europe, I cannot receive/send texts to individuals using an iPhone who are located in the US. If I am on Wi-Fi the texts come through. Also, I can send/receive text to persons not using an iPhone who are located in the US. This has not been a problem an previous trips to Europe. Just started in Fall 2013.

You would need to find out from AT&T if your international usage included a data plan. If you did not, then data roaming would need to be turned on for data to work. Double-check with AT&T on that part. But if data roaming being off, then you would not be getting data, therefore iMessage would not work unless you are on wi-fi.

  • IPhone 4 not sending/receiving texts to/from non-iPhone

    Hello,
    I am on a shared plan with my mother. Thursday afternoon my mom updated our plan and suddenly my phone was not sending or receiving text messages to non-iPhones. iMessage is working just fine, thus I can only talk to people with iPhones. It fairly closely correlated to the IOS update so I updated my phone and that didn't help.
    I have tried resetting network setting, hard reset, toying with message settings, *228 options 1 AND 2 etc... and still nothing is working. Please help! I run a business and can not afford to not be able to be in contact with half my contacts!

        Hi s13021,
    Let's get your messages flowing again! Thanks for the doing the troubleshooting you have done so far.  I know that running a business with a fully functional phone is needed. I have a couple things for you to try. First, turn off iMessage, power cycle your phone and keep iMessage off; try sending messages. To run a good test, send the message to your self and please put "1" in front of your number. Also, another step to try is turn off iMessage, then reset network settings, then turn it on and try again. These have been some successful steps. Please keep us posted.
    Thanks, BobbyS_VZW

  • HT4528 Iphone will not send new calendar data but will receive it from PC and ipad.

    I just set up a calendar on iphone, ipad and PC.  Iphone will not send new events but will receive from both PC and ipad. I just updated to iOS 6 and am reading others have similar problems.  Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Are the other phones that can't receive messages iPhones? If not, that could be the problem.
    See this Apple doc -> iOS: Using Messages
    You can send and receive text messages using the Messages app included with iOS. Messages supports SMS and MMS on iPhone, and iMessage on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. You can also send iMessages using Messages in OS X   Mountain Lion.

    I had the same problem. I went in and added my email address to iMessage and deleted the text to my friends that have iPhones and sent another to test it and it worked. Only thing is now my non iPhone friends don't receive my pic text. I had to turn off iMessage for it to work. Apple needs to fix this ASAP!

  • Iphone will not send email

    All of a sudden, my iphone will not send email to AOL. It says user name [email protected] is incorrect. I have rebooted, reinstalled and changed password that works fine on aol, still receives mail but will not send.

    It looks like your SMTP server setting for AOL is wrong. I think it should be smtp.aol.com.

  • Iphone 4s wont send/receive text messages.

    my iphone 4s isnt sending/receiving text messages. when i try to open messages it just says "messages" at the top and then it is a blank page underneath. all of my previous texts were also erased. i updated to IOS 8 2 days ago but the problem just started today.

        detti,
    Text messages are a vital part of a working phone. We encourage you to reset your device. Please back everything up via iTunes or iCloud. Then go to Settings/General/Reset/Erase All Content and Settings. This will reset the phone and correct anything that maybe causing the issue.

  • My iphone will not send a picture message?

    My iphone will not send a picture message.

    Had the same prob w/ pics not sending.  Spent hours on phone and finally got problem solved.  Hopefully this will help other people experiencing this problem. 
    First, go Settings, then select Phone.  Under "My number" it should say your current number.  If it doesn't (as it didn't in my case) call sprint (dial *2 on your phone).  Tell the sprint agent you would like your Name assigned to your number. 
    In my case, I had been added to an existing family plan.  I was assigned a random new cell phone number, but then later changed it to my old existing phone number from AT&T.  So if you are like me and brought your old cell phone number with you when you switched to Sprint, then this may be the issue. 
    When I was experiencing the problem with my pictures not sending, the wrong phone number was showing as my number on the phone (even though people could call and text me using my current number). 

  • All of a sudden this morning my iphone will not send imessages from my phone number but only from my email address. When I go to the settings for my imessages to choose where they are coming from my phone number is greyed out....Is there a way to fix this

    All of a sudden this morning my iphone will not send imessages from my phone....

    Hi Chas869,
    Hmm, that is strange that your phone number is greyed out. There are a few things that we can try. First would be to turn iMessages off, then back on. See if you are able to select your phone number. Then if that doesn't work, turn iMessages back off, then reset the network settings....settings>general>reset>reset network settings, this will reboot the phone. Don't worry, it won't delete anything from the phone, it simulates a battery pull. Once the device comes back on, then turn iMessages back on. Keep us posted if that works!

  • HT1430 my iPhone will not send emails.  I have checked the settings and reset the phone, it still does not work. Any suggestions?  Thanks

    If anyone can help I would appreciate it.  Mail on my iphone will not send any messages.  I have followed the Apple instructions and still it won't work, even after resetting my iphone.  My email provider is BT.

    To Avoid Relaying:
    If you are sending an email from, say, [email protected], but the return address is [email protected], that is relaying (you are using y.com's servers to send an email where the email "originates" from b.com).  Many servers don't allow relaying to prevent spamming.
    To make this work go into the email account settings, tap the account "button" that has your email address, go to the Advanced section in "Mail" if there is one, then go to  "Outgoing Mail Server",  tap it, and then tap "Primary Server", and in the Outgoing Mail Server enter your user name and password.  It may say optional, but you need this.
    Not all services provide this and the sequence of buttons I describe above may not be exactly the same for each address (look around if different).  If you can't set the user name and password, then that email service does not provide a way to get around relaying.

  • HT201320 iPad and iPhone will not send email saying yahoo password is wrong.  I have tried entering the password and  it does not "take."  What can I do?

    Ipad and iPhone will not send mail saying yahoo password is wrong.  I have tried re entering correct password in setting and it will not "take."  What can I do?

    Yahoo has been having many email problems this last couple of weeks. There is nothing you can do about it.

  • TS3899 My iPhone will not send email. I deleted my acct. and reopened a new one. I rebooted my device. What else can I do?

    My iPhone will not send mail. I deleted the acct. and opened a new one. I rebooted my phone too. I am at a loss as to what I should do next.

    Sounds as if you have a POP email account. If that is the case, then deleting the account and adding it back deleted those folders. They will be recreated as needed. As soon as you send an email, the Send folder will be created. As soon as you delete an email the deleted folder will be created, and the same with saving an incomplete email will create the draft folder.
