Iphone 5 won't send/receive texts/calls from other iphone users

So I recently upgraded my android phone to an iphone 5 on saturday and when I got it, I was able to make calls and receive texts from other iphone users. And now my texts aren't sending to other iphone users/calls and I won't receive them. My friends with iphones called my phone and my phone didn't receive their call. Also when i send texts it says "not delivered". I know it's just iphone users since my family members have androids.
I've tried resetting my phone and taking out the sim.

Try totally shutting all of your apps, double click the home button then hold your finger on an app until you see the red minus sign then tap that on all your app, then restart your iPhone, then give it a try.  If you are still having problems you will need to check with your service provider to make sure your account is provisioned correctly.

  • IPhone 4 will send/receive texts only from other iPhones

    Brand-new iPhone 4 on Verizon can't send/receive texts to other makes of phone.  It will only text to another iPhone. Error message: "Message send failure." Any idea what to do?

    Yes, our plan has unlimited texting...and I was able to text with a friend who also has an iPhone, but not with anyone who has a different type of phone.

  • I can call out but all incoming calls are going directly to VM with no signal that I missed a call or have VM. I can send/receive text messages from other iPhone/iPad/iTouch users, I am assuming this is really "iMessage." Is it apple software?

    I have spent hours on the phone with Apple and AT&T. I went thought reset, on/off, etc, etc with both companies to no avail. Each company pointed fingers at the other....as being the source of the problem.
    Problems: Suddenly ALL  incoming calls were going directly to VM with no signal I missed calls and/or had VM. I was also unable to receive all Text Messages...Oddly, I could send text messages to anyone (even non-apple users but I could not receive their responses)........then I when I got home I started receiving text messages from other apples users ONLY. I assume now - iMessage kicked in and I could text (send/receive)  other iPhone/iPad/iTouch users ONLY. ....yes, I could still (send) text messages to my husband's blackberry (he received my messages fine) but my phone would NOT receive his text respones.
    Finally, I googled the problem and found this community where other people have had the exact same problems! One person said he "turned off 3 G" which was the solution for him....so I did the same and VIOLA! My problem  solved! Nevermind the fact that I pay for 3G and cannot use it....so here's my question, if 3G is the problem on my phone is this an APPLE issue or a NETWORK problem? Do I purchase a new phone and slip in my same SIM card and hope the same does not occur or do I get a whole new SIM card and phone? What is the long term resolution to this problem?
    I am happy however to find that my problem is NOT an isolated incident and wish Apple or AT&T had told me this is not so uncommon because I thought (based on the baffled response from Apple) that this has never occurred before.  Where is Steve Jobs when we need him?

    It pains me to hear about your experience with the Home Phone Connect.  This device usually works seamlessly and is a great alternative to a landline phone.  It sounds like we've done our fair share of work on your account here.  I'm going to go ahead and send you a Private Message so that we can access your account and review any open tickets for you.  I look forward to speaking with you.

  • 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

  • IPhone won't send cellular/text messages to other iphone

    So, I'm out of data and I had no wifi either. For all my contacts that have iPhones, messages recognised this and switched it from iMessage to just message. Except for one contact. Even though I had sent that contact text messages before, as well as iMessages. I have no idea what hapoened or how to fix it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    I had this same problem. I could send group messages to people that had iPhones, but when ever I tried to send a group message to people that don't have iPhones, it would never go through. I was searching and searching for an answer, and I finally found it.
    I went to the Settings --> Messages --> Group Messaging
    Turn OFF Group Messaging
    Doesn't make sense, but it worked for me. Hope it works for you too.

  • Can't receive text messages from other iphone users but can receive them from non-iphone users

    I had to recently reinstall mavericks to my MacBook and suddenly I haven't been able to receive text messages from iphone users on my iphone.  I can send them but not receive them.  Recently I was able to receive a text from an iphone user who turned off his imessages before he texted me.  That came through. Of course, this would be difficult to ask every iphone user i know to turn off imessages in order text me.  I've also tried to turn off my imessage on my macbook, iphone and ipad and still can't receive them.  Lastly, I've also tried resetting my networking settings and that didn't help either.  Any suggestions???

    I am having the same problem minus the fact that I don't have a Mac computer I just can't receive any messages from iPhone users and I can't turn my iMessage back on at all it keeps just turning it off every time I try to turn it on. any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • TS2755 Cannot receive text messages from other iPhone users.

    My iPhone cannot receive messages from other iPhone users after updating to ios7. I do not have internet access on my iPhone. Sender tell me the message has failed.

    If they are trying to send you iMessages, & you don't have any Internet access, the message will fail, as iMessage requires a data connection.

  • Not receiving texts/calls from some iPhone users

    What is the fix for if your phone suddenly stops receiving calls/texts from some iPhone users? This started happening on my phone right before a system update and is continuing to happen. (Or rather, not happen.) Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for responding. I was able to receive email. I guess the problem was that it was just over 2 years old. Really loved that phone until that started happening. Trying out an iPhone now but would have liked to make that phone last longer. :/

  • TS5185 i have turned off imessage on my old iphone but still cant recieve text messages from other iphone users on my non-iphone device

    i am having a hard time recieving text messages from iphone users on my android device even after deactivating my old iphone and imessages. i dont know what else to do, apple is no help and want to charge me for assitance?!?!?!
    <Edited By Host>

    You can try the following on your friends phone:
    1.  Remove the contact card
    2. Then turn off iMessage and then back on again
    3. Go to Messages and compose a new message
    4. Press +.  This will make a list of recent contacts pop up.
    5. Click on the info button number of the contact you are trying to reach.
    6. Remove from Recents
    7. Try to compose another message
    8.  If the message attempts to send as blue (imessage), press on the message.
    9 Option to send as SMS will appear (as long as they have SMS turned on.
    10. Repeat and rinse.
    11. Messages will start changing over to all SMS as the user will show as non-imessage user.
    Hope this helps

  • I can't send or receive text messages from non iphone users

    I can't send or receive text messages from non iphone users

    Under Settings - Messages, do it state Sens SMS ON? Should be (this applies to imessage but just in case).
    Same area, MMS Messaging is on? Should be.
    If all else fails, go into Settings General Reset - Reset Network Settings (this will lose WiFi info but fixes a lot of messaging errors).
