IPhone 6 not sending or receiving SMS Texts

I activated my iPhone6 8 days ago.  Since activation I cannot send or receive SMS messages.  I can only iMessage with other iPhone users...so in a nutshell, I can't text with anyone who doesn't have an iPhone.  I'm up to date on iOS 8.2, I've deleted the contacts, re-added them, turned off iMessage and deleted the prior conversations.  Please help.
Thank you,
M

Contact your carrier to have them check your account. SMS and MMS are a carrier function. It is possible there was a problem in the setup of your account with your new device. There are no settings on the iPhone dealing with SMS. The carrier has to handle that.

  • IPhone will not send or receive group messages

    I recently got an iPhone because I needed to be able to group text with my boss and coworkers. However, upon getting a brand new iPhone 4s (Verizon) I discovered that my phone still does not send or receive group texts. I have turned on group messaging so I should be receiving them. Any ideas on what is wrong? Is it something I can fix or do I need to go to the Apple store?

    Make sure MMS is On in Settings > Messages.
    If that doesn't work, take a look at this -> iOS: Troubleshooting Messages

  • Verizon iPhone 5 not sending or receiving texts. iMessage worked for a day then stopped or messages were severely delayed.

    New iPhone 5 on Verizon will not send or receive texts. In the beginning iMessage worked for about a day and then messages started to be delayed by hours. Eventually even these messages were not being sent. Reset network settings followed by a soft re-boot land still no change. Any ideas?

    For iMessage problems, try this:
    - Sign out of iMessage
    - Reset your network settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - Sign back in to iMessage
    Best of luck.

  • Cannot send or receive sms text or phone calls

    I have a storm2 9550 unlocked and am using Tmobile Pay as you go. I have tried several times to disable the password, mostly by wiping the phone. Now i cannot make a call or receive a call or send or receive a text. On the phone calls I get  a busy signal and an error message  SMS error 97 message ID 40. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello dbond,
    To correct this issue you would need to remove the IT policy from your BlackBerry smartphone.
    To do this we would need to back up the BlackBerry smartphone. Please open the BlackBerry Desktop Manager and connect your BlackBerry smartphone. Click on the Backup and Restore button and select Back Up. Please note the location where the backup is being saved as we will need to access it later to restore the BlackBerry smartphone.
    Once you have backed up your BlackBerry smartphone please follow the link below to remove the IT policy from your BlackBerry smartphone

    My Samsung Illusion will not send or receive text messages but the calling feature still works. I've tried all of the troubleshooting techniques, including a hard factory reset, yet the messenger still won't work. Any suggestions??

  • I cannot send or receive SMS text messages and my number is not showing up in the 'Recieve At' location..how do I fix this?

    I just bought and activated a new Iphone 4s and I cannot send or receive normal SMS text messages. Also, my number is not showing up in the "receive at" location. Any help??

    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    Beyond that... since you state you've tried all "recommended fixes" have you actually restored as new and not from your backup?

    Hello tonys4004,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If you'd like to set up your iOS devices for SMS using Continuity, please see the information outlined below.
    SMS
    With Continuity, all the SMS and MMS text messages you send and receive on your iPhone also appear on your Mac, iPad, and iPod touch. Even if the person you’re communicating with doesn’t have an iPhone. And regardless of what phone they have, you can reply from whichever device is closest to you, including your iPad or Mac. You can also initiate a  conversation by clicking a phone number in Safari, Contacts, or Calendar.
    To use Continuity for SMS and MMS with your iPhone and your Mac, iPad or iPod touch
    Your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch need to use iOS 8.1, and your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.
    Sign in to iMessage on your iPhone, your other iOS devices, and your Mac using the same Apple ID.
    On your iPhone:
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By, and add a check to both your phone number and email address.
    Go to Messages > Text Message Forwarding, and enable the device(s) you would like to forward messages to.
    Your Mac, iPad, or iPod touch will display a code. Enter this code on your iPhone to verify the SMS feature.
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support
    Take care,
    Alex H.

  • I have an iPhone 4 and as of lates I can not send or receive any text messages.

    For the past week or so my iPhone 4 stopped sending and recieving text messages and imessages. My imessage only works when I am connected to wifi. I have data and unlimited texting on my cell plan. When I am not connected to wifi my phone tell my that my cellualr data is off but when I checked it in the settings, it said it is on. I dont know what to do. I have reset my network settings already. But nothing seems to resolve my problem.
    Also, my phone has iOS 7.0.6 if that helps.

    Hi VvanZomeren,
    To check your warranty status, find your serial number in Settings > General > About > Serial Number. Then enter it at http://selfsolve.apple.com.
    Did you try a different computer/outlet as well as different chargers?

  • IPhone 3GS not sending or receiving texts

    So, my phone hasn't been sending or receiving texts for about two weeks now. I did some research on the internet, and I already tried turning it on and off and turning 3G on and off. Also, my dad used to work for Apple, so I already knew to try resetting my phone, restoring it to factory settings, etc. It still isn't working. Is there anyone who knows how to fix it? Or if it can even be fixed?
    Thank you so much!

    No, I haven't. Should I check on that before I take it to the Apple store?

  • Can't send or receive SMS text

    Purchased a Curve on Tuesday and simply extended my current plan which includes texting.
    My Blackberry tells me I've sent SMS (check mark shows) but no one receives them, and I am not receiving their texts in return.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    I think the fastest way is to contact your carrier hotline.

  • I phone will not send or receive ANY text messages.

    My daughter has an iphone and it recently stopped sending or receiving text messages.  We have done several resets, spent hours on the phone with tech support, been sent a new phone, and can't seem to get this resolved.  I'm curious if anyone else has had a similar issue?

    are you talking about storage or data as in how much you can download from the Internet with your carrier each month?

  • Iphone 5s not sending or receiving mms

    I Just got 2 new iphone 5s and neither one will send or receive MMS messages. Verizon says they are looking into it. Is anyone else having this issue?

    Sending MMS is a carrier feature.  You'll have to deal with Verizon.
