  • Trouble with sending texts and making calls with new Verizon iPhone 4S

    A friend of mine just upgraded from a 3G on AT&T to a 4S on Verizon. She sync'd her contacts via iCloud. She is having an issue where if she takes the 1 out of a contact's name from her address book, txts don't send. If she leaves the 1 in, it doesn't recognize the name, and just lists the 1 (201) xxx-xxxx at the top instead. Worse, when making calls, if that contact does not have a 1 before the area code, it tells her her plan isn't set up for international calling and that it can't complete the call. I am on AT&T so I can't help her. My phone has the international assist option, I assume Verizon's does too.
    I can edit my phone number on my AT&T phone; it appears she cannot edit hers to either add or delete the 1 before hers.
    Surely this is easily fixable -- just thought I'd see if anyone knows what's going on here. Thanks all.

    I'm also a Verizon subscriber - have been with Verizon since the summer of 2001 and when my contract renewed last June, I selected the same phone as my free upgrade.
    I was looking forward to using the same features with my Mac when I discovered that Verizon purposely disabled these features and I'm not completely sure why but it must involve protecting a potential revenue stream for Verizon.
    My existing 2-yr contract with Verizon expires a year from this June and I plan on making the switch to Cingular at that time primarily due to Verizon disabling these bluetooth features but also due to the iPhone. Cingular has excellent coverage in my area - I have a number of friends who are Cingular subscribers that get better reception at my residence than I do and I use my cell phone in place of a land line. The iPhone will have been on the market for a year or so at that time and I expect a new and improved iPhone model to be available by then. And if I decide not to purchase an iPhone, I'm making the switch to Cingular regardless.

  • 920 constant troubles with sending texts

    I constantly get issues with not being able to send SMS. And when I try to resend it still faults. This is only resolved by either going to airplane mode or rebooting the handset.

    Get a new sim card, give that a go...
    If  i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

    Do you have a cellular plan with data and SMS activated?

  • Having trouble recieving/sending texts from I Phone 4

    Over the last few days I have noticed that I have been having trouble with sending and recieving texts on my I Phone 4, when I send texts now it can take a while for them to get sent out or they will just come back as rejected, I have I Message on and SMS as well, and the email on my phone is totally screwed. When I open my email it won't show any mail at all, and than other time it will open and just close right away. I have noticed that with my Google and Facebook apps as well sometimes I will open them and they will just close, someone mentioned to me I should reset the network settings, is that what I should do?or does it sound like the phone is totally screwed up?

    The easiest way to get everything over to your new iPhone 5 will be to backup the iPhone 4 then restore the iPhone 5 from that backup.
    See this Apple doc for more info -> iOS: Transferring information from your current iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device
    If you don't want to do that, you can just sync the iPhone 4 with a contact manager on your computer using iTunes and then sync the contacts from the computer to the iPhone 5.
    To see the contacts syncing options in iTunes, you just have to click your iPhone in iTunes > click the Info tab across the top of the screen.

  • Problem with sending text messages replies

    After update to OS 3.0 I have problem with sending text messages:
    - I CAN send new text message to someone but
    - When someone REPLY me, then I CANNOT send next message in conversation
    - If I DELETE someone's reply from that conversation text message sends fine.
    Anyone have this problem? I have iPhone 3g with OS 3.0 update, previously on 2.x the problem didn't appear. Carrier Orange in Poland

    no my girlfriend, was useing my old N75, now she is useing her old phone last night and today. we have been texting with no problems at all. ..so i'm back in the iphone, and we're going to get her a new phone tonight,or she's going to use one of my other back-up phones till we get one for her. called at&t today to see if she could get an early upgrade before oct. just to make me happy with all the BS i've been through (10 hours or more on the phone trying to fix the problem). but at&t came through with their great customer satisfaction!!! NOT!!! so, gonna try and get her a good phone out of contract and see after hers and mine are up might just jump from at&t. very unhappy with them as how they handled this whole thing.

  • HT201263 My IPhone4 won't send text message to anyone.

    My Iphone won't send text message to anyone. It always say fail and give me a red sign. I already reset it and turn it of and back on. It won't give me a number to choose from and will give me my email account. I call sprint and they say that my IPhone4 is a detective phone/don't work. I was wondering if anyone knew how to fix it?
    It always say waiting for activation and what is SIM
    Everything on my IPhone4 work but my message.

    This is probably a carrier issue; have you talked to Sprint about this problem? Your complaint was truncated, so it appears to say a "conversation open" at the end. If this is the case then the device is sending text messages, and the other party is receiving them. If this is occurring then it sounds like a problem with the receiving party or carrier.

  • Trouble with calls/texts

    Earlier today my iPhone 4 stopped letting me make calls, receive calls, send or receive text messages.  What do I need to do?

        Hi maggiechester,
    Let's find out what's going on! When did the problem begin? Current zip code? Do you have Post-Pay or Pre-Paid service? Are you having trouble with standard messages or iMessage? I look forward to hearing from you soon.

  • Iphone4 does not send texts/imessage properly.

    I've had this iphone for 18 months and it does not send texts/imessages properly. The iphone will be sending texts completely fine and it will have good 3G connection but then out of nowhere the phone will take over 20 minutes to send texts/imessages. Phone connection is out of the question. it does this on and off very frequently. It started doing it very rarely but its been doing it more and more often.

  • Can I send texts through wifi without using data?

    I' m currently out of the US and want to know if I can send and recdive texts through wifi and not use any data.  Same question for my emails.

    airplane mode will disable wifi mode
    Airplane mode disables all the radios (cellular, wi-fi, bluetooth), but once airplane mode is enabled, you can then turn on wi-fi and use available wi-fi networks without worrying about inadvertently using your mobile data, as SuzyQ stated.

  • Trouble with sending emails with Road Runner

    I have had little luck with sending email from my iPad with Wifi through my Road Runner Account (Central Florida). Apple Support got it to work with the AT&T 3G set as a secondary Outbound server, but I am still looking for a way to send emails with RR with WiFi. The problem may be that there is no way to turn off the authenication feature in the iPad mail setup, and RR here does not require or permit authentication for its outbound mail servers. Has anyone had this problem and found a solution? Why is there not a selection available in the setup for "no authentication" since I can see that there are accounts which do not support it?

    If you had the AT&T network set up and on, and the RR still did not work, there must be another problem with sending emails through RR than I have guessed. I have thought the problem was the incompatible Authentication setting, but if you had the AT&T on as an alternative, that should have resolved the Authentication issue. In any event, I have discussed with Bright House (RR), and they do not seem to acknowledge any compatibility issues with the iPad. Hopefully, it can be resolved.

  • Issue with sending text to one person

    Hi Im currently located in Jersey, and having issues sending texts to Verizon customers also, I was wondering if a fix to this issue had been found other then having to suck it up and change network providers >Comment deleted<

        Hello cselby11,
    Text messages are an important form of communication and I definitely want to assist you in getting this resolved. Are you now using the stock application or a different third party application for messages? Is your girlfriend having an issue receiving text messages from other contacts or is it just from your number? Are you able to receive her text messages? What zip code are you located in? If you have a signature enabled on your messages please remove and retest. Let me know if you continue to experience difficulties so I can further assist.
