IPhone doesn't receive iMessages

I recently got an iPhone 5, but it doesn't seem to receive iMessages even though my iPod touch and iPad receive them. All my devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network, and the problem persists even if I disconnect the iPhone from Wi-Fi. I've tried rebooting, hard resetting, restoring from back up and restoring as new. Any suggestions?

I had the similar experience.  I have the iPhone 5, all was working well using iMessage with my phone number.  I then hooked my Mac to iMessage using my Apple ID.  After this, all my iMessages from my phone were being send with my email address.  In settings / messages / send & receive, I could see my phone number and email address, but was unable to select my phone number in the "You can be reaced by iMessage at:" (it should be grayed out and selected by default).  I also could not select my phone number in the "Start new conversations from:" section.
I turned off iMessage, rebooted the phone, turned iMessage back on and was able to use my phone number.  my email is added as a location I can be reached at and I am able to select my phone number now in "Start new conversations from:"

  • IPhone 5s not receiving iMessages after upgrading to iOS 8

    After upgrading to iOS 8 my iPhone 5s is not receiving iMessages from the rest of the family. My phone shows up green instead of blue on the other phones. I have tried all kinds of resets, turning off/on iMessages, etc. Nothing has worked so far. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

  • IPhone Doesn't Receive All CC'd Addresses

    Very odd situation: have an iPhone 3G, set up for IMAP. Worked fine until about two months ago when host migrated email system and we got new smtp/server names, ports etc. Now, on messages with multiple people cc'd I only see one of them - when I look in entourage or mail they're all there, so it's not like the server is dropping them. For some reason they're just not all making it onto the iPhone. If I reply all the message only goes to the addresses that appear, not the rest of them. Is there some odd setting I may have inadvertently changed that only accepts one address per category (from, cc)? All port settings are same as entourage etc, where they work fine. Any ideas?

  • Iphone doesn't receive mail

    I setup my Yahoo account on my new Iphone 3G. It was working for 2 days and then it stopped receiving e-mails. It does the update, gives me a message in the Inbox that mail is updated but I haven't received mails since last Thursday. All my other folders (Sent, Bulk, Trash) is working properly.
    I tried to delete the account and set it up again, reset Network connection, nothing has worked so far.
    Does anybody have a suggestions or had the same issue before?
    Thank you

    I might have posted this in the wrong thread earlier...
    Sorry for the duplicate posts!
    Hello All,
    Thank you for allowing me to join these forums.
    I'm having the same e-mail issues.
    My IPhone is not feeling the love for e-mails.
    It has been "working" VERY sporadically since I purchased the phone.
    I've already spent a ton of time trying to fix it, but nothing seems to get it to update my e-mails consistantly.
    I deleted most of the e-mails that were in my Inboxes too.
    Any more ideas on what I should look for, other than another phone???
    Thanks for all of your help,
    Ben

  • Iphone 5s not receiving imessages or sms after ios 8.1 update

    Since updating to iOS 8.1 this morning I have not received any iMessages or SMS, despite my wife having told me she has sent numerous messages to me today! Anyone else have this problem, and any ideas as to how to resolve it?  Thanks.

    I had this problem too. Upgraded this morning and didn't receive any messages all day. Got home and looked at my iPad and found that I'd missed several messages.
    Turned out that iMessage was switched off. Don't know why that would be the case...  but I went into Settings -> Messages, saw that it was now off, switched it on, and all is back to normal.

  • My iPhone doesn't receive mail...  All other devices do...  HELP!

    I'm about to throw the iPhone 4 out the door... It doesn't usually get any new mail and when it does it is usually doesn't get them on time. Sometimes it tells me I have a message but it doesn't show anything. What's the deal? Can I just reset my iPhone and resync all the information from my Mac?

    Same, my iPhone neither gets email by push or fetch.

  • TS2755 iPhone 5 on ios7 doesn't receive messages from other iPhones when data is turned off

    My iPhone 5 doesn't receive iMessages or texts from other iPhones when my data is turned off, obviously I do not expect to receive iMessages but I also cannot receive text messages. Text messages can be sent but not received. Text messaging to and from people with androids and blackberries is fine.

    That is because iPhone users would be sending you iMessages. The only time you would receive them as a text is if they have theirs turned off, or it is set to send an SMS if iMessage fails. At some point you had iMessages activated, and if so, that is how the iDevices will send to you.

  • Is it possible to receive iMessages for two appleids on one mac at the same time?

    I (like many of you) have two AppleID accounts with different email addresses (come on Apple let us merge accounts).
    On my iPad and iPhone, I can receive iMessage traffic for both accounts. On OS X Yosemite I can only get one or the other.
    Is there any way to set up OS X to get both inbound account iMessages?

    Sorry, no. Photo Stream is independent of the Camera Roll. You have to do them separately.

  • If I am connected to Wifi and send an iMessage to a party that is not connected to the Internet then he doesn't receive the message. How do I force my iPhone to send an SMS instead?

    If I am connected to Wifi and send an iMessage to a party that is not connected to the Internet then he doesn't receive the message. How do I force my iPhone to send an SMS instead?

    It is an interesting option but I am not sure how it works. I disconnected the other party Wifi and 3G on the iPhone, iPad and computer. I sent the iMessage 15 minutes ago and it doesn't give the small foot print "delivered" but equally said I didn't get the RED exclamation mark on the right hand side of the message in BLUE. So we know that the message was sent but not delivered. I don't seem to have the option of sending by SMS when I tap on the BLUE message and hold.

  • My friend recently switched from iphone to blackberry, but my messages to her are still sent as imessage. how can i send it as a normal message? she doesn't receive any of my messages. her phone number is saved in my phone under the phone tab, not iphone.

    Sounds like your friend didn't disable iMessage on his/her iphone before switching.  Have your friend do the following:
    Go to: https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do
    Log in if not already logged in.
    Click on "edit products"
    Click on the "x" to the right of his/her old iPhone.
    Click "unregister"
    This should unregister it with the iMessage server, which will allow you to send texts as normal SMS.
    On your iPhone make sure you have Settings>Messages>Send As SMS set to ON.

    Ok. So I figured out that I can add the email address to my iPhone 4s to receive the iMessages sent/received from my iPad. How do I get the messages on my iPad that were sent to my iPhone?  Is it possible?

  • Why does my phone not always send or receive iMessages from certain iPhones?

    My phone doesn't receive or send iMessages from a couple contacts I have and with other numbers it receives fine but sends as a regular text. I've played with all the settings but nothing is working

    Aswell as needing an internet connection both devices need to be running iOS5. They also need to have imessage turned on withing settings>messages. If neither of the above is true then it wont work simple as.

  • All my contacts use iPhones but one doesn't use iMessage because it uses data. I want to use iMessage for other contacts but i have to turn off for just one contact. Can i turn iMessage off for just one contact?

    All my contacts use iPhones but one doesn't use iMessage because it uses data. I want to use iMessage for other contacts but i have to turn off for just one contact. Can I turn iMessage off for just one contact?

    You need to delete here conversation and start another one using her phone number and not her Apple ID. You cannot delete iMessage, you can disable it. If the Apple server still sees her iPod with iMessage on and using her Apple ID, then it will continue to appear to your phone that she has iMessage. She needs to take a look at this support document about permanently disabling iMessage for her account. Can’t receive text messages on a non-Apple phone
