IPhone 6 receiving texts 2-3 days late

iI've been having trouble for the past week with my iPhone 6 with the iOS 8.2 software not receiving text messages for 2-3 days after they've been sent. Has anyone else had this issue? If so have you found a solution? Oh my service is At&T. Thanks!

I am having the same problem. I'm not receiving MMS messages coming from android devices on AT&T. I have had several messages come in from Thutoday over the last couple days. I was receiving MMS messages fine yesterday, but all of a sudden today I am not able to. My dad has an android and sent me an MMS message and I got nothing, he sent the same thing to my mom who has an iPhone 6 as well. She receiceved it right away. However, I'm able to recieve MMS messages for a android devices on other carriers. I have reset my phone numerous of times and still nothing. This is becoming extremely frustrating!

Why can't my Iphone 4s receive texts from other iphone users?

I got my phone maybe 2 weeks ago and had no problem sending or receiving text messages. For the past 2 days, i have not been able to receive text messages from other iPhone users. My texts go through just fine but I never get a response back until they call and are like "well what do you think about blah blah?" But I have sent and rec'd text messages from people with other devices. What is going on?

Oh my! Let's ensure these text messages are flying both in and out of your device. I would suggest completing the newest iOS 7.0.3 update. Once this has been completed I would suggest retesting. Settings > Software update
You may also test with iMessage off. This will send messages to and from iPhone's as a regular text message. Settings > Messages > iMessage - Off

Note 3 MMS sent/received constant failure/3 days late

I have a Note 3 and since the 4.4.4 update, or somewhere around that time, my phone has been near unable to receive MMS. Most times the MMS just sit in a permanent state of downloading or failed to download. When I'm lucky the messages come in 20 minutes to 3 days late. From what I can tell online my APN settings are just messed up from the last update, but the APN settings are locked and I can't change them to fix it (unlike every other carrier). I have done a factory reset, pulled the battery, and pulled the battery and SIM card for 15 minutes.

I am able to send and receive there is just a delay of minutes, hours, or days. From what I can tell from other people my sending messages are working OK. I see sent when I send out an MMS. I've verified that they receive the message.
The problem is me receiving the MMS messages. From what I can tell if the queue of messages is nothing then I get messages with 5 minute delay. If I have a slew of messages coming in (I.E. group message where people are replying to each other) then it can take hours to days depending on the amount. I can tell how many messages are trying to download because the default messenger (and Google Messenger) show in the SMS for that person when they've sent a message that is trying to download. Sometimes when I check I can see it trying to download 10+ messages for multiple people.

All-day iCal events made on iPhone sync to Mac as one day late.

Had this problem a little while now, can't remember what started it, but it hasn't always been like this. I remember first being aware of it near the end of last year because I wondered if the problem might correct itself once 2011 began.
If I create an all-day event on the iPhone calendar, it will sync to the mac's iCal as being one day later. If I enter an event on my phone that's all day, Saturday the 5th of March, it will show up on my computer as Sunday the 6th.
Events which are not "all-day" are completely unaffected.
Both devices are set to the same time zone, with the iPhone having timezone support on and the mac having timezone support off. I've toyed with trying different combinations of these settings but nothing changes. I have to manually drag the mac iCal events one day earlier once they're synced. This fixes it, because it doesn't appear to then bump the iPhone copy of the event any earlier.
But that's a massive pain and I've lost faith in iCal as a timekeeping device. Anything glaringly obvious that I've missed?

I have this problem too. I have an iPhone 4, and this wasn't a problem when I bought the phone back in December. I think it came a month or so later and I suspect with a standard upgrade of something like itunes, or iphone software... but I can't pinpoint it to any specific update as it took me a while to notice it. For me, it does this with my work calendar which is run through Microsoft Outlook. But it's the exact same thing - and it means my calendar isn't reliable anymore.
I've made sure the time-zone settings are correct, I've updated all software, and gone through all possible settings for both my i-phone and Outlook. Nothing fixes the problem, even our tech guy at work didn't know what to do. I know it's not just my phone as the exact same thing has happened with my boss's iPhone which is an iPhone 3G, and it frustrates him to no end.
I'm really hoping someone at apple can tell us what's going on, especially since it never used to do this and there doesn't seem to be any way to fix it. If someone thinks they know what itunes update this was due to, let me know - I'll see if I can go back to that older version.

My iphone wont receive text messages

My iphone wont receive any text messages. I can send them but can't get any. i know i have friends so i know that just no one isnt texting me. i can do everything except get text messages. i called my carrier and they said everything running on my phone so now i dont know what i need to do someone help

My sone had same problem. This may or may not help but it solved it for me.
The problem was'nt with the phone or the carrier it was to do with the iphone sending the text to my sons phone.
So on the phone sending message make sure of the following:
Settings
Messages
Make sure imessage is checked so the menu changes so you can then see send as SMS
Make sure that is checked
also MMS
Hope this helps

My iPhone is receiving texts that I send, My iPhone is receiving texts that I send

I upgraded to the iPhone 5 this week, and my fiancée has inherited my phone 4. However, whenever I text her, I receive the same text I am sending. The number it is being sent from is my own number. How can I stop this? Suggestions much appreciated!

Not sure you get what the problem is. I receive texts from her fine. The issue is that when I SEND a text I also RECEIVE the text that I am sending. It's as if I'm texting myself but I'm not. I'm texting her.

Hi lusha,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you can't receive text messages after restarting your phone and trying to update, try these steps next:
If you still can't send or receive SMS or MMS messages
See the iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant.
Verify that every phone number in your contacts list includes an area code.
When sending to existing contacts, ensure that your contacts include the full phone number, and not just the information needed to dial locally.
If you have recently ported your number from another carrier, please contact your current carrier to verify that the porting process has completed successfully.

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 2 Global not receiving texts

Hi.
This just started happening yesterday. Haven't downloaded any apps for weeks, so nothing done to my phone.
I just decided to clean my phone one day and turned it off, took out the battery, blew a little bit inside and under the screen to try and clean it. Put everything back, turned on phone, and instantly got like 5 text messages from different people.
I confirmed with the senders they were from the day before
That evening, I texted someone in the same room as me, they successfully receive. But when they send texts to me, I never receive, and still to this point, have not received.
TO SUM IT UP:
not receiving texts, or receiving text over 24 hours later, in random order
using default phone text program
from other verizon users, and other sprint users
I have a Motorola Droid 2 Global, android 2.2
been a customer for... 5 months
located in Los Angeles
i hated at&t for bad reception but at least all my txt's went through.... and i honesty can't say Verizon's reception is any better
hints/tips that you tried with the same issue and worked?

Hi bananas,
I see that you did some basic troubleshooting according to your other post. I would recommend to clear the text message Data and Cache to clear any files interfering with your incoming messages. Open your text messaging application and follow the path below:
Menu>Settings>Applications>ManageApplications>All>Messages>ClearData & ClearCache (if not grayed out).
Please save any important messages you currently have (the steps above may delete all your current message and cannot be recovered) by sending then to yourself via email.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, the next troubleshooting steps is to do a Hard Reset which will bring your phone to original factory settings.
Please keep in mind that performing a hard reset will remove ALL data including the Google account, system data, application data, application settings, and downloaded applications.

Not receiving text messages intermittently

I have an iPhone 4s and never had any problems but last night my iPhone stopped receiving text messages (from other iPhone users and other phone types). I messed around with my settings and my text messages started appearing again (although I can't remember what I pressed now)! I got a few people to send test text messages and I received these but again this evening I've stopped receiving text messages again. What's the solution?

Apple offers a ridiculous "solution" for a problem they created.
I recently switched from iPhone to a Samsung Galaxy S5. It became clear shortly after activation that I was not receiving texts from other iPhone users.
After a quick search it became clear that the issue was with iMessage. That is, otheriPhone users were sending me texts via iMessage. While this problem appears to be widespread and my search revealed a class action lawsuit against Apple for this issue, there were no viable solutions.
In a nutshell, Apple support told me the ONLY fixes to this issues were to 1. Have all of my contacts delete our text thread and 2. Wait 45 days for iMessage to expire. This is outrageous and not a solution at all.
If you want to see screencaps of my exchange check out my blog post about it:

Contact w/Android not receiving texts

I have the iPhone 5. Friend who has Android received texts first 2 days. However, since Sunday, I receive texts from her but she doesn't receive my replies or texts initiated by me. I reset network settings, turned off the phone, deleted and re-added contact, and removed my SIM card. Nothing worked. Any suggestions?

Hi Bgblufan
I know how important text messaging can be! I use text messaging for everything! Let's get this fixed so you can go back to enjoying your device!
Do you or your friend have a signature at the end of your message? For Example; a smiley face or " Sent from ...'s phone". If so, please remove it and retest. Please delete all old messages from this contact and retest.
Please ensure the contact is set up as a 10 digit contact only. Are you using a 3rd party application to receive text messages? Are they? Does this happen with any other contacts?
Please let me know if the issue persists!
Thank you

Deal of the day 3 DAYS LATE!!!!!!!!

I called customer service and was transferred 3 times and no one could help. Why would you email the deal of the day 3 days late!!!!! I received Nov 2nd deal of the day this morning Nov 5th at 7:38 am. It is very frustrating especially from such a big company. I also got one at 11:30 today for Nov 3rd. This is unacceptable and Best Buy gets a big fail.
Who can I contact about this, has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks

Hello carter28,
There are some pretty amazing savings in our Deal of the Day offers, so I can imagine how disappointed you must have felt to receive a notification several days late. I'd be disheartened too if the same thing happened to me!
Without going into too much technical detail, know that there are many different reasons why e-mail delivery might be delayed. Among the most common, however, are filter settings, incorrectly addressed e-mails and server communication errors. Gmail and Yahoo! both have articles on their respective support sites to address these issues, and many ISPs are able to troubleshoot these issues as well.
Gmail - An incoming message was delayed or hasn't arrived
Yahoo! - Emails aren't received in Yahoo Mail
If you don't use either of these services, then I'd encourage you to contact your e-mail service provider for assistance. Like CheapestGamer mentioned, remember that you can also stay up-to-date with our Deal of the Day offers by visiting BestBuy.com or by following @BestBuy_Deals on Twitter.
Thanks for taking the time to post!

Can receive texts from some phones but they never get my return text.

Brand new replacement iphone 4S for duplicate issue - can text other iphones and receive texts but NON-iphones cannot receive any texts from my iphone (I can receive their texts, though). Has anyone else had this problem?

You can't send texts to other phones with iMessage, it only sends and/or receives from other iOS devices. If you want to send text to others phones (other than an iPhone to iTouch), get the third-party app textPlus Free Text + Calls so you can send and received texts from other people.
Hope this helps.

I am having trouble sending text messages. They aren't always going through. And sometimes I'm not receiving text messages. I also have voicemails that I didn't receive until late at night that were left early in the day. I need to resolve this issue ASA

julie@remax,
I know that this would concern me just the same and we want to make sure that your device is connected and receiving these notifications when available. How long have you been having this issue? Are you receiving a specific error message when sending a message? Are you aware if this happens in one location specifically or everywhere you go? Does the issue with messaging occur with all numbers? Share some details, so that we may assist.

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.
