LG Revolution not receiving text messages from iphone user
I am not receiving text messages from iphone user, sporatically. The messages are showing as reveived on Verizon website in usage detail, but not being received on my phone.
This issue needs fixed asap! I have a few suggestions that should help you get this resolved. If they are showing up in the usage details, that means they are hitting the Verizon network, but for some reason they are not showing up on the phone. I recommend clearing the cache from your messaging/text messaging programs. Go to settings> applications> manage apps> all> Messaging/Text Messaging> Force Stop/Clear Cache/Clear Data. Erase the old text threads that you have saved and retry.
If that doesn't work, please let us know the following:
1) Do they come in delayed or not at all?
2) Do you have any 3rd party messaging apps installed?
3) Do they have any problems receiving messages from you?
4) When they're sending messages, are they directly to you, or do you have this problem when the iPhone user sends to a group of people?
Thanks for the additional info! I'm sure we can find a fix.

I upgraded from Iphone4 to Galaxy S4 and not receiving text messages from Iphones.
I upgraded from Iphone4 to Galaxy S4 and not receiving text messages from Iphones.I went to https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do and unregistered my old iPhone to resolve the issue. It's been one day and I cannot recieve text messages from Iphones
Verizon wiping out old phones would have nothing to do with it. The phone is no longer associated with the number, so wiping the phone would have no effect. It is your Apple ID which is the problem. You have iMessage turned on for your Apple ID. iPhones which have your Apple ID associated with your contact will send texts to your Apple ID, not your phone #. If you have another Apple device which can use iMessage, you could turn off iMessage in that device, but as long as your friends have your Apple ID associated with your contact and you have turned on iMessage in an Apple device and never turned it off before switching from an Apple device to another platform, you will have this problem.
You can bet that Apple will not address the problem, as they don't see it as a problem if someone is using a phone other than an iPhone. Apple expects no one will ever switch away from an iPhone once one has been used. Therefore, no problem for them to address.
The problem lies with Apple wanting their users to go through yet another proprietary interface, iMessage, which the MAJORITY of all smartphone users do not have access. -
I cant receive text messages from iPhone users to my android phone
I recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy S5 after owning an iPhone 4s. All my contacts transferred but now I can't receive text messages from iPhone users to my android device. I read that I have to make sure that my Apple id is totally deleted. How do I do that?

Call AppleCare and ask them to deactivate iMessage. It might take awhile to become effective.

I can't receive text messages from iphone users
For some reason I am unable to receive text messages form iphone users with my new LG G3 phone?
Hi Kessler,
Congrats on your new device! Text messages are an important feature, so lets get this fixed. Please make sure that your previous iPhone device is no longer registered http://bit.ly/1eec6Qc to receive iMessages. Once completed, please remove/add the sim card to your new device http://vz.to/1t3TnMR .

I can't receive text msgs from Iphone users-what gives?
Hi, I have had this issue for weeks. I have been trying to find a solution through t-mobile but so far I still can't receive text messages from Iphone users. It is across the board. I know about 5 people with Iphones and I can't get text messages from any of them. Does anyone know why? By the way, they all can receive my text msgs, no problem, but I can't receive theirs. Is it because I don't have internet service on my blackberry? But my friend who has an old Nokia phone with no internet capability receives texts from Iphone users, no problem?? Please help.
Thanks!Sounds like you are on the right track. But dealing with carriers is, well, frustrating at best. And inconsistent. If you get a CSR that says they can do nothing. Hang up and call back...until you get someone who can really help.
And maybe try different paths into support -- for instance, on the BIS login page for VZW, there is a number listed there that is different than any other of their support numbers. I had a problem with BIS once, called there and they got it fixed within 5 minutes. My account rep and other CSR's had been telling me that there was nothing they could do. So persistence wins out.
Best.

I CAN NOT RECEIVE TEXT MESSAGES FROM PEOPLE USING IMESSAGE
On an iPhone your iMessages will go to your phone number.
You can select another email to use on iPod or iPad.
Go to settings

Check your phone number and uncheck the common Apple ID you share so your messages will not go to other devices. -
Since updating to ios7, i'm not receiving texts messages from certain people. Help!
I have an iphone 4s and I recently updated to ios7. I've noticed that I can't receive text messages from certain people. I went into settings>messages and made sure that imessage was turned on. I noticed that directly under that was "waiting for activation". I clicked on "use your apple ID for messages" then logged in......it responded with "please check your network connections". That's confusing because I have full bars. Is there something that I'm missing
Yes, your iMessage is not activated yet. Turn it off, wait a short period and turn it back on. You should wait 24 hours before getting overly concerned about it still waiting for activation. Check this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4268

I cannot receive text messages on my new samsung phone from any of my old iphone contacts. I was told that I need to close my icloud in order to fix this problem but i can't find a way to close my icloud account. Help...
You can try changing the password for the Apple ID you were using for iMessage on your iPhone by going to https://iforgot.apple.com. If that doesn't help, you'll have to contact Apple support for assistance: http://www.apple.com/support/contact/.

3GS receives text messages from IPhone 4, but not pix or video
My granddaughter has my wife's "old" 3GS, and is on our AT&T plan with all bells and whistles. We can send text messages to her, but when we try to send a photo or video, she does not receive them. Our phones show that the photo or video was "sent". No error message of any kind. How can we fix this problem?
I just downloaded IOS5 today. My wife and granddaughter have not done it yet. However this problem existed before IOS5

Help
Ok, all of your posts with "solutions" to the problem are great but many are incorrect and pointlessly excessive. All you need to do is simply follow these steps and there will, usually, be no actual NEED to contact AppleCare tech support:
1. Turn off iMessages on your mobile device that you are getting rid of.
2. (For some situations) Step 1, normally, will deactivate your number from the messaging database that Apple keeps. But, you have to actually TURN OFF iMessages. Otherwise, if you no longer have the iPhone or other Apple mobile device THEN call AppleCare tech support and let them know that you simply need them to De-Register the phone number associated with your Facetime and iMessages accounts.
***There is no need to reference the article TS5185 as they will simply do what you ask them to do so long as your word it right and don't make them have to probe and fish for more details. I repeat...."De-Register your phone number associated with your Facetime and iMessages"
3. Have your friends and family members that are using iPhones delete any and ALL previous conversation threads that they have from texting/messaging you saved on their iPhones.
***This is important because Messages remember where they originated and will always attempt to go back there even if you are trying to get texts to show on a new Apple device, like an iPad.
4. If you are attempting to get Messages on two Apple mobile device then follow steps 1-3 and then verify that all of your mobile devices have the EXACT same Send & Recieve settings. Once that has been established you can then initiate a conversation on either mobile device and you will be able to see the conversation take place on both devices. -
I can not receive text messages from an android but I can send them
The other day my boyfriend's phone stopped working. He already had an android phone and our messages were working fine. But ever since he got a new phone(it's the same kind of LG phone he had before) I can SEND messages to him fine, but I can not receive ANY of his messages he sends to me. I have tried everything to resetting the network, turning imessage on and off, and resetting my phone countless times. I have even redid his contact, erased our old messages. But it is still not working! Can anybody help me? This is very frustrating.
Thank You1. Turn off iMessage on the iPhone, then restore it as new.
2. Go to www.icloud.com and remove the iPhone from your AppleID.
3. Change your Apple ID password.
4. Change the primary email address of your Apple ID.
