My iphone 3G won't text certain people

My IPhone 3G will not let me text certain people.  I have tried deleting the contact and re inputting the information and for a while i could text them directly from the contacts but now it won't let me do that either.

that would lead one to suspect that the battery met the end of it's life and you need to hand in the phone for a batt change at the place you bought it

  • Why can't I text certain people without iPhones on my iPod touch

    Why can't I text certain people without iPhones on my iPod touch how do I text people on a different kind of phone please help!

    Elitegate. The Whatsapp app is only compatible with iPhones. It will not install on any other device.
    However, there are other texting apps like TexpPlus, Viber, Text Free that are compatible with later model iPods.

    I would suggest that you review the information in the following article and make sure that your iMessage addresses are all shown in the area of settings labelled "Send & Receive At":

  • My iPhone 4S won't play certain sounds

    I just got this as a hand me down from my boyfriend because he has the new 5, pretty great condition, played all the sounds, videos, musics, etc with no problems.
    I was playing a game earlier today with no issues, sound was great, and listened to music yesterday. For some reason it's not working now. I hear calls fine, FaceTime works well, and so do the little tests sounds in the settings. But it doesn't play sound for videos, games, music, or even the little texting clicks. The sound bar that usually shows up when you decrease or increase volume with the buttons doesn't show up, and the sound bar is completely gone when I try to play music.
    Not sure what happened seeing as I've only been on Facebook and Skype since playing my game earlier. And yes, I've made sure that it is off of silent/vibrate. Just not sure what to check or do, seeing as this is my first iPhone. Any help would be appreciated.

    Also, I have already tried resetting using the home/lock buttons.

  • Iphone 6 won't load certain web pages displays hyperlink 'GO' and nothing else

    II've just upgraded to an iPhone 6 although I had the same issue with my iPhone 5 just before I changed phones.
    WHen I am connected to wifi, my phone will not open certain weblinks within Facebook app and displays a blank white screen with the word 'go' and nothing else. When I click 'go' nothing happens.
    Also within my Guardian app, the banner adverts display the same (blank with the word GO)
    I'm not very technical but it seems to have a problem with shortened weblinks.
    ALso the phone is slow to load web pages when I'm on wifi and I often have to reload and reload to get anywhere in Safari.
    I don't seem to have the same problem when I'm using 3G.
    Thanks for any advice in advance.

    My wifi is through Sky but it can't be that as it doesn't happen on my iPad or on my husband's iPhone.
    When I look it is redirecting to the page anrdoezr.net rather than the page I want.

  • IPhone only rings for certain people

    any way to get my iphone to only respond to certain people? i would like only one or 2 people to be able to make a sound on my phone at night, so when they call, it wakes me, and other sounds, general email and text, not to make a sound at night.
    i can obviously put it on silent but then those one or 2 people where the sound is important, wont make a sound on my phone so wont wake me...

    Call AT&T support (dial 611) from the phone. Maybe they can run some tests to your phone from their end.

  • Suddenly today, my iPhone won't send pictures to certain people...has worked fine until today.

    Suddenly today, my iPhone won't send pictures to certain people...has worked fine until today.  Sends fine to some but not to others.  What's up?

    Like any electronic item, it sometimes gets inexplicably balled up. The reset is no different than rebooting a computer that is acting hinky. If you don't have to do it often, then it is not anythign to worry about. (I know - not the kind of tech talk you were probably expecting, but the words selected are about as scientific as you can get concerning this type of weirdness....)

  • 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 cant send text to certain people

    Recently my phone is acting up. I an iphone 4 unlocked with gevey sim running 4.3.5 and 4.10.01 unlocked for tmobile and all of the sudden it wont let me send texts to certain people and i cant recieve texts from them either. The sending bar will load to 90% and then it stoped with 10% left and says error. I try to resend but it doesnt work. I googled it and i deleted my conversation with the person, reset the phone, deleted then re-added the contact but it still doesnt work. But yet i am able to call them. I have not tried to restore it because it says i have to update the iphone if i want to restore it which i can do. So i need any ideas on what to do.

    Bad signal in the area?

  • My iPhone 5 won't display smart text options.

    My iPhone 5 won't display smart text. It did when I initially downloaded the new OS, now those options don't appear at all. Did I click something to make them disappear?
    I went into Settings to see if there was a component of it within Messages. I don't see anything.
    Thoughts please.....
    Thanks much
