IPhone "sent" text not being received by ONE particular phone

My AT&T iPhone 4 is sending and receiving all text messages from all phones and carriers.
My friend's Spring LG Rumor recently stopped receiving ONLY my text messages although my phone marks them as sent (no red exclamation point, etc). The Rumor is sending and receiving all text messages from all other phones and carriers, including another different AT&T iPhone.
So, I can get the Rumor's texts, but it specifically can't get mine.
Any thoughts or ideas? I have already reset all settings on my iPhone to no avail.
Thanks!

Transmission of texts is handled by the carrier. If the texts left your phone and arrived at other phones, it can't be an iPhone issue. The only possibility relating to your phone is sending to a wrong cell number.

Messages not being received by one contact

I have one contact that cannot receive my messages I have sent. We both have the iPhone 4s.
When I do try to send a message to him, it shows up 'blue' and no error message is received. My phone recognizes that it is an iMesssage in the message body but he does not ever receive them. When he sends a message to me, I do receive it but it is a regular SMS in green. I have even tried to simply respond to the messages he sends me, they also show up blue, but he doesn't recieve those either.
We both have iMessage 'on', and both are running 3G
I do not have this issue with any other contacts, iPhone user or not
Thanks for any help.

I don't have his email address set up with his contact information, only his cell number. I went so far as to manually enter his phone number into the 'To:' field. Just came up with his name and still sent an iMessage but he did not receive it.
My phone only has one contact card for him and I'm still confused as to why I can receive massages from him but as normal SMS as opposed to iMessage but my iMessage says its sent with no errors and he doesn't receive

When texting one contact bubbles are blue instead of green, and texts sent are not being received, how do i sort this? cheers

when texting a friend, bubbles are blue instead of green and they dont receive the message. this is only happening with one contact,why's this happening and what can i do to sort it? cheers

Blue bubbles are using for iMessages, so problem with receiving is in iMessage.

Sent messages not being received from my iPhone

Starting about three weeks ago, I began having sporadic issues with text messages (SMS) and iMessages not going through. I don't appear to have a problem RECEIVING messages, other than they sometimes are delayed by as much as 20 minutes.
I have been on the phone with AT&T support - they point their fingers directly at Apple. I have found no help from Apple on the issue (more finger-pointing).
Texts (SMS) to non-iPhone users are 99% working
Texts/Messages to iPhone users who have Messages set up - I can be having a "conversation" with them and the text bubble will change from blue to green... back to blue, back to green from message-to-message. And about 50% of messages sent via "iMessage" are not going through.
Of interest - it appears that Messages sent via my MacBook Pro are not having the same issue.
One item of possible importance - I had to change my iTunes password right before this problem began (I had posted about an unauthorized movie purchase - which Apple took care of, but forced me to change both my password and to use a different funding source).
It was about that time that messages began to act odd.
I have tried all the settings in the "Messages" settings on my iPhone... turning iMessage off - still some SMS messages don't go through. I read somewhere to turn off "Send as SMS" and that forces the issue... that imroved the successful sends somewhat.
I tried removing email addresses from the "Send & Receive" address list... no change. I then added them back... no change.
It all also appears to be totally random. Sometimes all messages go through without a problem... at other times - the problem gets to the point I'm ready to throw my iPhone in the trash.
But all of this still doesn't clearly put the blame on either party... Is Apple's software tring to swap to SMS for no reason, then not actually sending the message at all? Or is the iPhone sending the message - but AT&T isn't handling them? Neither party wants to admit an issue.

Yes - I am aware of (#3) the SMS splitting issue - just thought it rather odd that they come in consistently out of order, regardless of what carrier they come from.
As far as iMesages and Apple system issues - This unforunately is shaping up to be another symptom of internal issues with Apple. Steve would not have tolerated the inconsistent service.
I went to lunch and completely turned off "use iMessages". I then sent several SMS messages, all of which were delivered as expected (though my wife received a photo that I had sent her two months ago at the same time!).
I then switched iMessages back on and tested it - and so far, all messages have gone through as they should. I am wondering if Apple's server issues might have needed some kind of "reset" of my account by going through this again... who knows.
Either way - so much for the old Apple addage "it just works"....

Only some texts btwn iphone and galaxy not being received

I have an iphone 6 through att. My besty has a Samsung Galaxy s5 through Verizon. We live in the same metro area. She receives most of my texts, but not all. As far as we can tell, I receive all of her texts to me. I'm sure ATT will say it's Verizon's fault and Verizon will say it's ATT's fault. I'm not looking for blame. I'm looking for solutions

natasha2168, You won't find any blame here - just steps to get to a solution. We offer a history of text messages on My Verizon http://vz.to/P5EA3R that may just help to really figure out which company is the one that is having issues. Any messages that our network gets from your phone will show up in the texting history. If they are missing from your friend's texting history then that would point to an issue with her carrier. If the messages aren't even showing up in your texting history it means our network is never getting them from your phone. In a case like that we would need to trouble shoot your phone to see why it's not sending all texts to our network.

Why are some texts not being received on my iPhone but are on my mac

I just got a new iphone 5C. A friend sent me some pics in a text and it didn't show up on my iphone. The text and pics did show up on my mac though. Can anyone tell me if I have something set wrong on my iphone?

If it showed up on your Mac, that was an iMessage - not a text message as in SMS/MMS.
Was the iMessage addressed to your cell phone number or to your Apple ID email address?

Sent emails not being received

Hi, urgent help required. I currently run 4 different email addresses via BT, 2 for me and 2 for my partner. Since Thursday we have noticed that some emails are going missing. I've tested out all addresses by sending from one to another and some are delivered okay others appear to be sent but never arrive, and some appear in our Spam folders. My partner also sent me emails to my work address but only 2 out of 3 arrived. I use Windows Mail, my partner uses Outlook Express, I tested via webmail and through our Blackberrys but the results are always different, there is no set pattern, but one thing is for sure, not all emails arrive. I know email is not 100% perfect, and the odd one goes missing but never to this extent.
I even had a problem getting verified for this forum because the confirmation emails kept going into Spam on webmail.
The main worry is because my partner is self employed and uses his email constantly we are worried that important emails are now going missing, this can be the difference of getting a job from a client or not.
I've checked out some postings are read about disconnecting and rebooting the Hub, which I've done, to no avail.
Please help, as I'm no technical genius but my partner is worse and looks to me to solve these things, and this one has got me baffled.

SPAM filters are heuristic, which means they learn. If you find that some of your messages are appeaing in SPAM folders and ypu don't tell the mail reader that this is not where they should be it starts to assume that ALL messages sent from that user should end up in SPAM. Depending on which mail program you use there may be a button to tell it that specific messages are not SPAM, it is important that you use this on any messages which are erroneously misplaced. They may also support a preferred senders list which is checked before making the decision where to put an incoming email. Unfortunately each mail reader is different in this respect, so it's hard to give specific instructions.

Texts not being received to my X6-00

My X6-00 phone suddenly in the last 24 hours wont allow my girl friend's text to be delivered from her 5230. Could someone have barred her number on my phone. How do I check it out
please help it's killing me. Thanks Arddy

Can she send messages to Other nos..? ..and also do you receive messages from Others ?
..and also, Can you receive calls from her ?
BTW, I do not think anyone can bar the no. remotely..and the in-built call restricting option ccan only bar calls not Messages, I think..

Any suggestions please? Thanks.
My Dad has a Samsung X.

WhiteCreekGardens,
Sorry to see the trouble you are having with messaging. One of the most basic things we want to use our phones for. Let’s see if we can get that working again. Try resetting the messaging app: http://vz.to/1sBTIq4 . Then reseat your SIM card: http://vz.to/1lAT2Ki . Retest and let us know how it’s working.

Samsung note II, known issue of aol mail not being received on phone

I spent hours on the phone with Customer Service this past Wednesday & Thursday because my aol mail is not being received on my new phone. I just did some research online, and found out this has been an issue with AOL and Verizon since December 2012. The Customer Service rep told me this just happened the past week! What a bold faced lie!
I purchased this phone on or about July 3, and the AOL mail was working fine until this past Wednesday.
This is a know issue, and yet the lie right to your face about it.
I had a C/S rep tell me he would call me back later in the day, before he left work. I told him, I have heard that before. Oh, no, I will call you. Of course he didn't call. Your C/S reps think they can say whatever they want, but the calls have been monitored or tracked someway by your computer system.
I see many others have the same problem with the Samsung Note II and their email accounts.
Since December this has been going on, don't you think it's time you fixed the problem?
Two years ago, when I spent $200 on a phone, I said never again. But yet I wanted a 5.5" screen so I paid up! Never again!

I FINALLY spoke to someone today who was able to solve my problem so far.
In the PLAY STORE....look for K9 email app.....and download that...put in your AOL email address and password. You should now be able to receive your aol email on your phone.
It seems he has a Note II also, and had the same problem.
You would think that MANAGEMENT would tell all their C/S reps how to solve the problem. I guess they would rather lose a customer who has been with them for 10 yrs.

Sent mail is not being received

Some of my emails use my me.com account are not being received by the recipient.
The emails show being SENT in my SENT box.

I have a similar but perhaps unrelated problem. Every now and then, I send an email on my gmail account using Mail. The sent mail appears in my sent box, but never arrives, and does not appear in my webmail sent box (where it usually does, using gmail). Most of the time it works, and it even works most of the time with people it has had a problem with, including mail I send to myself at work at my professional address. Usually arrives...but not always. I don't know how to trust my sent mail box without always going on the webmail to make sure it actually went out. I only have this problem when using the Mail application, but there are no other common characteristics (attachements, ISPs, etc) to say there could be a problem with one of those things. Anyone else have this problem?

Emails being sent not being received

i have been receiving emails from outside bt ok,
however im sending emails and its saying email been sent but they not getting through to receiptant,
they all been sent as shown in sent folder.
daughter sent me email she with bt and that hasnt been recived yet.
its driving me mad, emails from outside bt seem to receive ok, But i cant reply to them.
think im on the bt yahoo mail.

Same problem. Have deleted account and reset using BT settings for both IMAP and POP and although the e-mail is sent it is not being received. Have tried sending to numerous different e-mail addresses but none are received.
There was another thread with the same problem that is marked as solved but the details of how this was achieved were unknown and not posted.
Have even reset the BT home hub but not made any difference.
To add to the misery, e-mail from my iphone is now not being sent saying the password is incorrect. Nothing has changed since earlier today when the e-mail was working. Have tried reentering the passwords manually but no luck.
If I use webmail it all works.
Started yesterday so although I am now receiving mails, I cannot now send any e-mail unless I use webmail.

Yahoo e-mails are not being received on iphone 4.

Yahoo e-mails are not being received on iphone 4. I had to go website to retrieve about 50 emails from last couple of days. Everything looks correct in settings and I haven't changed anything that I know of. Please help if you've encountered this issue.

I tried the suggestion of deleting the account and starting over from scratch (twice), to no avail.
