Iphone wont recieve ALL texts! very annoying

Hey, i have recently noticed that my iphone 3g 4.1 wont receive every single sms people send to me, this is becoming more and more annoying as i have no idea whos text me or not!
i dont know whether its a hardware problem or just the software. but its not like "it will only receive from certain phones" because it will receive some and then randomly stop receiving from that person but receive from another person!
hope you can help

Regardless, it's not an iPhone issue... it's a carrier issue.
Contact your carrier and have the other party contact their carrier as well.
SMS's are not guaranteed to be delivered. If it's a really important message, pick up the phone and call the person.
Thankyou for clearing that up!

  • My iphone wont send all texts to droid user

    Ok. You know how when 2 iphone/apple users are texting and both have the same software update with the Icloud that their conversation bubbles in the text message are grey and blue. Grey being what they sent you and Blue what you sent them. Furthermore, when you are texting a non-iphone/apple user the conversation bubbles are Grey*what they sent you* and Green*what you sent them*
    Now my fiance switched from her iphone 3gs to a Droid just 2 days ago.
    I have a 3gs as well and we have noticed if I or her friends using an Iphone send a text message to her and it shows up on our phones as a blue conversation bubble *as if she still has her iphone* she does not receive our texts. But if our phones send her a text and they come up as a green conversation bubble, she gets them..
    any idea on how to fix this to where all of our texts we send to her come up as a normal Green conversation bubble since she is no longer an iphone user.
    We are constantly busy and need to be in contact with each other.
    PLEASE HELP ASAP

    My husband has a new Droid (used to use an Iphone) and I have a new Iphone (used to have a 4, now have a 4S).  All texts I sent to him came back to my phone.  How we finally solved the problem:
    1) Turned out I'd registered my phone under his ICloud account.  I went onto the Apple site and registered an account with ICloud. 
    2) My husband unregistered his old Iphone per the above advice.
    3) I went into Settings - ICloud - and all the way at the bottom of that screen, selected "delete account" and deleted the account.
    4) Going back into ICloud, I re-registered under my new ID.
    5) We both rebooted our phones.
    Solved! 
    Hope that helps.

  • My Iphone wont recieve phone calls

    Hiya everyone,
    As the title says my iphone wont receive phone calls, when you phone it it just goes straight to answer phone and some times it takes for ever to receive texts as well. is there anything i can do to fix this??
    Thanks very much
    Ryan

    Hi Ryan,
    An easy troubleshooting step that may resolve the issue is restarting the iPhone. You can do this by holding the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears> then slide to turn off> and turn the iPhone back on by pressing the Sleep/Wake again, as described on page 46 of the iPhone User Guide.

  • My iphone wont work - computer text above the apple

    My iphone wont work - when I charge it I get the apple sign but it has computer language above it.  Its not recongised in itunes so I cannot reinstall the software.
    Any ideas

    Probably a hardware failure. Make an appointment at an Apple store and bring it in to be evaluated.

  • IPhone wont sync all photos after updating to 4.2

    Hi,
    I just recently tried to update to 4.2 and before I did this I backed up my phone, like I always do. I then downloaded and installed the firmware. When it started back up, there was no music and it said I had to rebuild my photo library before opening photos app. I did and when it was finished it only showed 800 pictures out of my original 1500+. I then searched for my backup I created before but the only one there was the backup it just created.... I don't know how to get my pictures back now. please help

    Are you saying you had 1500+ pictures in your camera roll? If not, then the pictures should be in the folder on the computer you sync with. All you have to do is resync the phone. If they were pictures in the camera roll, you see why it is important to import the pictures to the computer as soon as you can to ensure you have them. The backup for the iPhone is not that much of a guarantee. I wouldn't know why the phone would have backed up a second time after updating the software, but if it did, it overrights the last backup, unless it was a restore backup.

  • TS2755 iphone 5 deleted all texts spontaneously

    Whilst sending a text message, text seemed 'jammed', then all my texts on phone both SMS & imessage completely spontaneously combusted!  All completely wiped.  I rebooted my phone, synced it with computer, updated to IOS 7.0.4, no luck.  I have 2.7GB capacity available (10.8GB used)  Any help on retrieval appreciated thanks!

    In addition to the above, I have found that many of my notification settings have changed a lot.   I had almost zero notifications showing on a lock screen.  Now emails pop up in preview mode, calendar invitation responses pop up, etc.  

  • Photoshop CC won't open JPG files, Windows 7 64-bit SP1. I get no error message at all. Very annoying.

    I get the SAME behavior on my laptop. This happens with Bridge also. My desktop and laptop are both Core i7 3d gen machines. I had to resort to GIMP to get some work done. I tried updating  to the latest PS CC but it failed to update with error U44M1P7. Any ideas if the update will fix this and I should keep trying to get it installed?

    The error message means a Photoshop File is corrupt you need to re-install Photoshop, You can do that right on top of your current install. That will back level CC to 14.0. When you the use CC ment Help>Updates it should be updated to 14.2.1 and all you add ons a r activation will still be intact. Download CC direct installer follow the download instruction else you will be denied access.  Download New Adobe CC Trials: Direct Links (no Assistant/Manager) | ProDesignTools

  • 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 phone wont recieve calls and its not on do not disturib and not on airplane people tell me its like iv declined there call or blocked them and i checked and i havent blocked anyone please help

    my iphone wont recieve calls and i checked and its not in airplne mode and do not disturb is off and people have told me that its like ive declined there calls or blocked them and i checked and have not blocked anyone please help

    You ARE roaming.  You turned off your data, but you are still roaming when making calls, and texting.  If you blocked all roaming then you wouldn't be able to make calls/text or receive calls/text.

  • New xperia z1- not recieving all messages?

    Hi guys
    I upgraded from an iPhone 4s to the Xperia z1 on Saturday and am so far loving it. However, I'm not recieving all text messages from people. In order to fix this i tried putting my sim back into my old iPhone, turning off iMessage, leaving the phone for about half an hour then putting the sim back in my Sony. However I'm still not getting all messages. Any ideas...?

    My iPhone 5s (16GB) is stuck with 3948 photos (shown on the iTunes storage bar) on and I can not find a way to delete them all! It's very annoying as it takes up 6.54 GB of space and leaves me no room to add films, music...etc on to it. Please help me!!! I have already tried the numerous articles Apple have sent my way and I am still having no luck.I'd be eternally grateful if anyone could find a solution for me as this has been a problem for almost a year. Thank you.

    If they were put there via iTunes sync process, then simply untick the Music box before syncing again.
