Message not delivered

I have an Iphone 4 and sometimes when I send a text I get the message it was not delivered. When I press the ! it gives me a couple of options and one is to send as a text message. I select that and it sends the message. Anyone have that issue and know what causes it?

I message not delivered

Not able to send IMessage through I phone 5 and as well as IPad Air. Getting a message stating that message not delivered! Can any suggest to set right this?!
Thanks!
Shiv

You need an active Sim with text message capabilities to send SMS messages as they go through your carrier. You need an internet connection to send iMessages to other iOS devices.
If you are connected to the internet and cannot send iMessages, I suggest you sign off iMessage on both iPhone and iPad and then sign back in again.
Make sure your "send from" in settings is appropriate. For example if you have selected send from your phone number and your sim card is not on the phone, this might be a problem, so if you do not want to put the sim back on the phone, then select an iCloud account or other email account to send from.
Make sure the person you are trying to reach has "received at" properly selected on their iDevices.

Text messages on iphone 5s getting error message not delivered

when attempting to send a text messages on iPhone 5s getting error message not delivered with a red explanation mark. I have filed cases with carrier and it comes back as device, some messages do go thru fine and then it will give the error for several message and then back to working again. Please Help.

Hi
I am NOT trying to be mean or patronizing so my apologies if this comes across that way
That said
SMS texts are sent on a part of the same carrier wave that carries voice calling and conversation as opposed to data - which is why even non smart phones can text - it is the unused portion of the spectrum that initially carriers were making money off of
http://computer.howstuffworks.com/e-mail-messaging/sms.htm
In other words - to be able to text - one has to have a plan that supports that
Also that is why in some plans international texts have a cost whereas one can merrily iMessage from anywhere in the world and get away with it free
So - if the texts are not leaving your phone - chances are that they do not have a channel to do that - that is an AT&T issue

Why are i messages not delivered?

Why are some I messages not delivered?

Imessages is only for use between Apple devices that are registered for Imessages.
It is not a standard SMS/MMS system like on cellular phones.

Can't send message message not delivered

Ever since the Message+ app update that was sent out on Dec. 19, I receive an error saying something to the effect of "Can't deliver message, Message not delivered", even though my messages are being sent to and received just fine by my contacts. I receive a notification saying to check the message in question, but when I tap the notification, it just opens Message+ to a new message window.
Is anyone else receiving this problem, and have you figured out how to fix it? I've already tried clearing the cache/data and restarting my phone.

tgp1994 we'll get the messages flowing! What device make/model do you have? Has there been any other changes to the device, outside of the update, since this issue started?

Icloud mail, some forwarded messages not delivered

Dear all,
I do forward my two professional mailboxes to icloud.com so I have all my emails centralized in a single location.
Since a few days, some of the messages forwarded are not delivered to my icloud inbox; I assume they are blocked by the spam assassin.
What is possible to do to avoid messages to be blocked ?
Is there a way to view messages blocked on server side ? (messages do not arrive in Mail app as spam, it is not delivered at all!)
Is it possible to change the spam assassin working level ?
Thanks in advance,
Lionel

I have the same problem. E-mail messages from the website www.hotelkamerveiling.nl do not arrive in my iCloud mailbox. With Gmail, there is no problem. I contacted Apple about this. The say that they can't do anything about this problem. I think that is strange. As a user, you should be able to alter spam settings.

Bounce messages not delivered in users mailbox

When a Undelivered Mail message arrives in our Groupwise system it disappears somewhere in the dark, and is not delivered to the user.
The only thing we notice is that the "From" field is empty but all other fields are filled with correct data.
Answer from our ISP :
"E-mail that is being bounced back should have an empty (null) return
address so that bounces are never created for a bounce and therefore you
can't get messages bouncing back and forth forever."
Non delivery report - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bounce Address Tag Validation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Are we missing a setting somewhere ??

normally that is done during the SMTP connection, where the sending

That you are receiving a separate message indicates that some SMTP
routing/relaying is going on.
Perhaps a bit about your environment would be useful.
- Does GWIA talk directly out or is it pointed to a relay?
- Version of GWIA and the OS it is running on.
- Where are you catching the message that gave you the detail you
described?

Very likely just updates the status of the sent item. At least that is
where I would expect it to have been processed and seen in the
properties of the sent message in question.

Messages not delivered

I updated the new software a few days ago and since then I have experienced the odd problem with messages not being delivered but in the end the Try Again worked. But today I cannot send any messages, try again does not work and I also cannot use FaceTime. It will not connect. My email is working ok and wifi is ok.

after two days of not being able to use imessages or FT I contacted Apple Support. I gave them my serial number and told them I was in Spain and then started to tell them my problem when "ping" an imessage came through to me, I responded quickly and it went through ok. I then asked Apple Support to stay on the line whilst I tested FT and this too worked. It was fine yesterday but today I have the same problem back!!!! aaargh!!! what is going wrong here?

What am I missing

Are you sending a message to another Apple iDevice (iPhone, iPad, etc)?
Plus, that person has to have iMessage set up.

My iphone sends old messages, message not delivered

So the other day I began having troubles with my phone. It's only been with one person in my contacts at the moment, but it's happening frequently enough to be irritating and concerning. Especially with the amount of texts I'd normally be sending.
When I message this person, more often than not, a little red circle with an exclamation point pops up next to the sent message, and beneath it reads "not delivered".
According to the person I text, they still get a message, however the messages are always older messages. Sometimes duplicate, but not always, it seems. The most recent duplicate was originally sent around 8am, and resent instead of a message sent around 3:30. The original message did not have the undelivered problem.
I have the iphone 4, this person has a phone that is not an iphone.
Today I went into a Verizon store and asked for advice. He told me to turn off iMessage, and that that should fix it, however I then sent another text and it once again marked it as not delivered, and sent an old message instead.
Please, does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks.

That means whoever you're trying to send an iMessage to either has iMessage turned off or doesn't have a data connection. There's nothing you can do on your end. The message will be held on Apple's servers for 24hrs, then deleted.

BBM messages not delivering

I have a Z10, All day long my BBM messages have been sent from my phone, but they aren't delivering. They just stay as a checkmark for ever. I have sent to many different people, and none of them receive my messages. Their messages, however, get deliverd to my phone, but on their end it doesn't show that I read them. My phone is 8 days old, and I have contacted Bell about it, and they say that everything on their end is fine. I have done battery pulls, I had an update available for BBM, so I installed that, and still nothing works.
Any suggestions?

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
With a strong carrier network signal (e.g., not merely WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (step 1 should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
1) Register HRT
KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive
2) Reboot
Pre-BB10 Devices ONLY. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.
BB10 Devices. Hold the top button down until the counter reaches zero. Wait for the device to be fully shut down (e.g., nothing at all displayed on the screen, no LED lights, etc.). Hold the top button until the red LED is lit. Wait through the full boot-up process. IF this fails, you can attempt the battery-pull method above, but it is normally NOT recommended unless nothing else works.
See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should re-contact your mobile service provider for formal support...but this time don't let them fob you off. You pay them for your services, and they are not delivering them to you. If they cannot resolve the issue, then need to escalate your case up to BB for enhanced formal support.
Good luck!

HT4993 I am not able to text on my iPhone, I keep getting a ! Message not delivered it gives me option to send by text message any clue

I am not able to send a text from my IPhone s it keeps showing ! Message not sent you can send it by text and it does it in green not blue

TS2755 When sending a txt message to another iphone user we both are getting message not delivered but it is, yet when i send txt to an adroid i dont get that message at all so its not a provider issue

When i txt to Nother iphone we both get message undelivered et when i txt to an adroid phone its fine

Erase any conversation you have with this person in your Messages, then start a new one and see if it does same thing. If it still doesn't go through right away, it's a problem with your friend's iMessage setup, not yours.

Text messages not delivering part 1 of a 2 part message

I have an iPhone 4 and for some reason when someone sends me a long message and it gets broken into 2 messages I never receive the first part. What comes through is 02/02: and the last part of the message. Any idea why this is happening or how to fix it? It is becoming very annoying.

This is a carrier / interchange problem. The phone can only give you what it gets. SMS messages are limited in how long they can be. The iPhone handles things fairly elegantly in the way it allows you to compose, send and receive long messages that are technically multiple SMS messages. Other phones, not so much... Something is getting borked in transit from the senders phone to your phone. Have the sender contact their carrier.

Applications closing immediately after opening Text messages not delivered

It there any way to restore the phones applications when they start to malfunction, instead of doing a complete system restore. As the application are closing immediately after opening. I've tried deleting and restoring them.
Also text message seem to get lost when doing a system restore. They don't just arrive when its finished. They never get delivered. Caused a few big problems for me but I'll only do it at night now. Has anyone had the same problem.?? Thanks.

It's in it 7th hour to restore
and it hasn't started with the photos
music yet. That cant cant be right??? Can it??
