Iphone wont send text messages for 10-15 minutes

Occasionally I will send out a text to somebody and it will get to about 95% and stop for about 10 minutes. At this time, I can't send a text to anyone, receive a text from anyone, and all my conversations with my friends become erased. After about 15 minutes, they will return and I get bombarded with texts and such. Anyone experience this and know what exactly to do to make it stop? Thank you.

    Hi billyhil25,
Let's see what causing the problem! When did the issue begin? Current zip code? Are you using standard messaging or iMessage? I look forward to hearing form you soon.

  • Iphone 4 wont send text message

    I've got an iphone 4 and sometimes it will stop sending text messages. the send bar will load the whole way up until the last %10 then i'll get the red message send failure notice and it wont send any other texts until i turn it off then turn it back on. it's not really that big of a deal but it's really annoying. anybody know how to fix it?

    Most likely this is a carrier issue, but you can try resetting your phone - press both home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears.
    Note that your profile has inconsistent info: iPhone 4 and iOS 3.0.1. The iPhone 4 requires iOS 4.x. Please correct.

  • My iPhone is sending text messages from my email account

    I just did the new iOs 6 update on my iphone and now when i send text messages they show up as coming from my email account rather than from my phone.  Is there a way to change this?

    Go to settings/messages and make sure you have send as SMS turned on.  Then in send & receive make  sure your phone number appears there.  When sending messages while you are connected by wifi it will go view imessage

  • Why won't my iPhone 4 send text messages?

    I have an iPhone 4. About a month ago, I removed its SIM. I put the SIM back a few days ago and now I can't send text messages. All the other features of the phone are working. Do you think something is wrong with the SIM or is the phone at fault? I was able to send text messages before.

  • My iphone 4 wont send text messages

    Hi. Im using an Iphone 4g (ios 7)  that is a few years old now. up until now it had worked mostly flawlessly.just a few minutes ago i tried sending a text to someone, and this is where it gets strange. i hit send, and the little green sending bar at the ts about 95% of the way there and then it stops and ays message send failed. i tried doing a reset by holding both buttons. and when it starts up again it works momentarily before not working again. i was just wondering if you had any fixes for this since sending texts is the main reason i own this device. it may just be the fact that its new years and thousands of people are sending messages at once but i just want to see if anyone else had this issue and resolved it.
    thanks everyone.

    Call your network provider and ask if you still have the RIGHT CONFIGURATIONS on your CELLULAR DATA

  • 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

    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.

  • Why cant my iphone 5 send text messages without getting and not delivered message?

    Whenever you send a text message it comes up non-deliverable. Is there a solution for that?

    Have you turned on SMS in settings >> messages?

  • Iphone 5 sending text messages from incloud account

    My iPhone 5 is not sending iMessages or texts from my phone number. It sends it from my icloud account. When I sign out of my icloud account, it does not sent any texts as iMessage or as a green text message. I updated to IOS 8 when then this problem happened

    Go to Settings > Message > Send & Receive.  Sign out of your Apple ID.  Then go back one screen and turn off iMessage.
    Restart your device.
    Then turn iMessage back on.  Do not sign in with your Apple ID.
    Your iMessages will be associated to your phone number only, not your Apple ID.

  • My iphone keeps sending international messages for activating imessage

    Hi
    I have enabled a feauture provider by my operator which tells me my sms costs etc.
    It told me 4times that an international sms has been sent, immediately after recieving a notification that your operator may charge for imessage.
    What should I do to?

    In order to successfully exchange iMessages, following conditions have to be met.
    1)  Both the parties should have iOS-5 or above.
    2)  Both parties should have iMessage successfully activated.
    3)  Both parties should be in 3G or WIFI reception area.
    Check if you have "Send as SMS" option set to ON.
    SETTINGS - MESSAGES - SEND AS SMS (Turn it OFF)
    If this option is ON, your messages will be delivered as "ordinary text messages" when iMessage isn't available.

  • My Iphone wont send push notifications for the app Telegram, what do I do to fix it?

    When my Iphone is locked the push notifications will work for every app but one. My telegram app wont push notifications when someone messages me, what setting can I change to fix it?

    Hey gingertodd0911,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    This article has information that may help you resolve the issue with no push notifications for that app on your iPhone 5s.
    About Notifications on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
    Not getting notifications for a specific app
    Push notifications require an active Wi-Fi or cellular connection. If you’re not getting notifications for a specific app, try these steps:
    Go to Settings > Notifications to verify that the app supports notifications. If notifications do not appear in the Notification Center, make sure that the Notification Center setting for the app is enabled.
    Make sure you’re signed in to your Apple ID.
    If you’ve recently installed an app or restored a backup, open the app to start getting notifications.
    So long,
    -Jason
