Iphone rebate without receiving text...?

i'm a marine currently on a deployment in okinawa, japan and had to suspend my cellular service with at&t because of it. i'm not scheduled to return stateside until january, hence my trouble with receiving my apple credit rebate for my iphone. i purchased it the day it was available, and am qualified for the credit, however i obviously can't retrieve the text that would allow me to redeem the credit... i've looked over the FAQ but couldn't find anywhere i could contact apple about this issue...
can somebody direct me to more information or possibly a solution? i use itunes religiously while on deployment so the $100 credit could buy me plenty more entertainment for the duration of my time here. thank you in advance!

I think you'd have to call Apple and discuss this with them. You shouldn't have an issue getting your rebate then I wouldn't think.

Why is my Iphone 3gs still receiving texts without having a sim card in it?

My daughter took her sim card out of her iphone 3gs, but the phone is still receiving text messages. The phone works, but is pretty beat up, and she is now using an older phone she has till she can upgrade.
Thanks

Allen is most likely correct. If she is running iOS 5, then they are iMessages. Assuming she's connected to WiFi, she can still use iMessage.
Tell her to turn it off in Settings>Messages. Once she does, the messages should start going to the phone she's actually using.

IPhone 5S not receiving texts and pictures from Android without data on

I have a 4 month old iPhone 5S and for some reason I'm not able to receive texts and photos from my friends who have Android phones. The only time I receive them is when I turn my data on. I have a very limited data plan and I would prefer to only turn it on in the case of an emergency, not to receive texts from friends. As of now, it seems that my phone is perfectly able to send texts to them, I just can't receive them.
HELP!

Iphone 5c not receiving texts

I got an iPhone 5c about a month ago. It's my first smart phone, and it's been giving me issues for a while.
During the first week or so of using it, I was able to receive iMessages as SMS messages, even when I had data turned off and was not connected to wifi. Now, however, I can send texts but I can't receive them unless I'm connected to wifi. This only seems to be a problem with other iPhones. Family members with non-Apple devices can text me when I don't have an internet connection, but I only get the messages from other iPhones when I'm back in a place that has wifi. I turned off data because the phone was using it even when I wasn't doing anything, and I'd rather not keep it on all of the time because of that.
I called Verizon support, and the suggestion was to just turn iMessage off because "it's hard for the phone to switch between Apple and Verizon's servers." I've looked everywhere online for answers, and most everything just suggests either wiping the phone or that texting simply doesn't work without data. I've had a few phones over the years, none of which had any sort of data plan, and I was always able to send and receive text messages.
What should I do about this? At this point I'm honestly just frustrated and considering going back to a regular data-less phone.

I was under the impression that SMS messages do not need cellular data in order to be sent and received. I know they don't use much data, the problem is everything else that seems to use data in the background.
I set it to just go through my phone number as you suggested, so maybe that will help. Thanks!

IPhone 3G stops receiving text messages in the middle of a conversation

My iPhone 3G 3.1.2 frequently stops receiving text messages in the middle of a back-and-forth texting conversation. No other function on the phone seems to be interrupted, because I usually just continue using other apps before I realize it's been 10 minutes since the other person last replied.
I can receive the messages by turning the phone off and on (once I realize what's going on), but this is such a hassle, especially because I can waste 15 minutes of another person's time in the process. Interestingly, once I turn the phone back on, I receive the messages and they tell me they were received at the earlier time (ie., if I was previously texting at 1:53, it might say 1:55, even though nothing showed up AT 1:55). So it seems like the phone receives the text and knows that it did, but for some reason doesn't display it or notify me at the time.
I've seen similar threads in this forum to this problem, but they all seem to be accompanied by other malfunctions, which this is not.
I'm on Telus in Canada.

Phone number re-associated with old iPhone - can't receive texts

I have given my iPhone to my son after purchasing an Android, and my son is essentially using it as an iPod. After he updated to iOS 7, my phone number (which I have transferred to my new phone) has become associate with iMessage and I am unable to receive texts on my new phone from people who have iMessage. Is there a way to remove the number from that device so that I can receive texts again? Thanks.

Finally got through to talk to a very helpful technician at EE by selecting account query rather than technical problem on the automated answering system on 150. A reset by EE sorted the problem out and the phone is working fine again.

IPhone 4 not receiving texts correctly?

I got an iPhone recently this week on Tesco Mobile (basically o2), and I've been noticing an issue. Texts aren't coming through right. Sometimes they come through fine within a matter of seconds of the sender sending them, but more often than not I won't receive any messages unless I switch my phone on and off, in and out of aeroplane mode, text someone or call/am called by someone. It's seriously weird, and very annoying.
At a guess I would assume this is an issue with the handset. Perhaps it is not refreshing the network signal? That would explain why any activity that requires a refresh/use of the signal allows me to suddenly receive texts for a short while again.... It's also worth mentioning I've tried a hard reset already. No change. I'm not really open to the idea of restoring because that's a pain.

Well it seems the problem is focused only where I live, so I'm guessing it may just be an issue with the nearby cell tower. Planning on giving Tesco a bell and I'll see what they say, I guess.

IPhone 4 not receiving texts off wifi

Not sure what is going on with texts (specifically iMessages from other peoples' iDevices) not getting to me sent as iMessages, nor texts until my phone is back at home and on wifi? I thought iMessages were supposed to work over cellular data as well?
I've tried figuring this one out from the troubleshooting guides. My phone is set up to send and receive iMessages as well as SMS at my phone number. I can send texts even if I completely turn iMessages off. It's just not receiving texts from people that are on wifi, when I'm off of it... until I get on it, by which time it's usually too late, and I get angry reprimands. Don't feel like getting fired over something like this, just because my phone is messing up and my boss can't get a hold of me...

Iphone 4s not receiving texts

Ive got a 4S on contract with three, it was stolen about a month ago, Ive bought a new one online and got a new sim card, but now i cant receive Texts? there is an ecxplenation mark in thought cloud by the battery level? everything else is fine though? Any way of fixing this?

Sorry. That was the only thing I could think of. You might as well try resetting the phone by holding the Home and end buttons until the silve apple appears. It won't hurt and it might help.
Best of luck.

HT201436 No notification on my iPhone 4 when received text messages

No notification on my iPhone 4 when text messages received.

It is happening anywhere, no particular location. I am located in Wiscasset, Maine. I power cycle my phone at night time. I'm using the normal iPhone messaging app, nothing extra or special. And yes I can call the same numbers. My friends will just get my messages from them that they already got or never received, 2-3 days after I sent them, no matter where I am or where they are. They come from different carriers or the same carrier and different types of phone or some have the iPhone. It seems to be extremely random. Very frustrating.

When my imessage is one,m other iphone friends cannot receive text, unless their imessage is on as well

I cannot receive or send texts, when my or someone elses imessage is not turned on. Why is this and how do i fix it?

This is very unusual try pressing the Home and the Sleep/Wake button untill the apple logo appears, this will perform a restart and may fix the problem
Hope this helps

My iPhone 4 stopped receiving texts, my power button is broken, so l went to settings and reset all settings. it has been stuck on the apple logo and loading bar screen for 12 hours

I just want to be able to use my phone, l thought maybe the battery was too low for it to finish loading so l plugged it in over night and it hasn't moved at all. What should l do?

Take it to an Apple store to be evaluated; without a working power button, there is no further troubleshooting you can do.

My daughter is unable to send text to other iphone users from her iphone! Other types of phones receive texts. What is wrong with the setting that is causing this?

why can my daughter send texts to other brands of phones, but not the iphone, She can received texts from iphones, but when she tries to send me a text from her iphone (or anyone else with an iphone), the messages don't send!

Turn iMessage off, then on again.
Make sure 'Send as SMS' is turned on.
