My iphone 3GS wont receive any texts from one person.

I've tried restoring it and also making it a new device but nothing I do works. It started the day before thanksgiving when it completely died on me. I went to charge it and it showed the "connect to itunes" logo. When I did this morning I wasn't able to receive a single message from my friend. Other people would be able to respond but that one person wasnt able too. What should I do?

Contact both carriers.
There is nothing in iOS6 to prevent specific users from contacting you.
If it is truly SMS and not iMessage, then it is entirely a carrier issue.

  • IPhone 4 wont send a text to one person

    i am unable to send a text to one person in my contacts. i have tried everything i deleted the contact and re input it. the only thing is when i start a new message the phone number comes up as other even though the contact has been deleted. Please Heelp

    I've been having this problem as well, and it's incredibly frustrating. I called Verizon Customer Service and they were unable to help me, and I'm at a total loss. The person who is not receiving my texts is on a Droid and has T-Mobile. I was able to text her without any problems until Tuesday evening. She can text me, but she does not receive my text messages. There is no problem with actual phone calls. I already tried deleting the contact and resetting my network settings.

  • Nokia 920 not receiving some texts from one person...

    I've contacted my carrier Straight Talk and they my account if fully operational. I only seem to have problems with this one specific person. Why is this happening and how do I fix?

    I too am having this problem with texts from a frequently texted friend. Her texts will now no longer open and I can't text her either. It looks like I have to delete her whole thread which goes right back to when I bought the phone which I don't really want to do. And no, she's not on an iphone, just cheap Nokia which she's had for years.

  • Recently started not receiving texts from one person - AT&T user, also HTC One

    I recently started not receiving texts from one person. He also has an HTC One (older model) but has AT&T as his provider. We were texting back and forth last Friday morning (11/8) and then he called me and ever since then I have not received a single text he has sent. He is receiving all of mine and we can receive phone calls back and forth, but his text messages are not coming through. We have both tried restarting our phones and I have also tried deleting him as a contact and recreating it however nothing works. I checked to make sure he was not blocked (which I knew wasn't the case since I could receive phone calls from him as well), and even tried turning the "block contact" on and back off. Any solutions would be greatly appreciated. Right now we are using work arounds with google-talk and facebook messenger but it's very frustrated for me to not receive any of the texts that his phone is saying I am receiving.
    It had started sporadically over the past few weeks where I would miss a text from him every once in awhile, but now I am receiving nothing. He is the only one that I am having this issue with as I have texted back and forth with multiple others the past few days with no issues.
    Thanks in advance for the help!

    Hi!  I'm also having the same problem.  I have an iphone 5 & one person (who also has an iphone 5 but has AT&T as a provider).  We had been able to send & receive phone calls & texts until mid-November.  Now, we can both give & receive phone calls from each other and she receives my texts, however, I DON"T receive hers. In fact, if I'm in a group text message with her,  I don't receive any of the texts  that include her, even though I can give/receive texts individually from the others in the group message. The other two in the group message CAN receive both her texts & mine. This is so strange - I was left out of a whole thread of text messages & none of us knew it.  They thought they were including me (nothing bounced back) & I didn't know I wasn't receiving them. Since her texting works with both of the others, I'm concluding the problem must be with my phone.  Do I have an incorrect setting?  I'm not sure what could have happened.  PLEASE help! 

  • Problems receiving text from one person

    got my iphone 5 on sept 21st and haven't been able to receive text from one person, he has virgin mobile and i have verizon, i've gotten them from everyone else, i'm able to send texts too
    i recently switched from virgin mobile to verizon
    i've called verizon and they said there isn't a problem
    i've called virgin mobile and they don't have a problem either
    HELP

    Could be something wrong on the other persons end...this one is hard to call if it's only happening with one number. Are the text long (longer than 140 or 160 characters)? Try asking them to sending a short one (just type "testing" and send it)...see if that goes through. I would lean more towards the issue being on their end if you're saying you can send them to him fine...you're just not receiving them.

  • Cant send or receive texts from one person....​why?

    I have a palm pixi and I cant send or receive texts from one person...why? when I send a message to this person the message just disappears. anything I can do to fix this?
    Post relates to: Pixi p120eww (Sprint)

    This is a common problem.... I was having it too.  The only solution I found is to go into device info, reset options and then choose erase apps and data.  It solved the problem.  All the contact info is backed up so you don't lose your data.

  • Is there any way i can receive a text from one number and reply to another on the same conversation?

    I have a friend who has 2 phone numbers, he sends texts from one and i have to reply to the other one.
    Is there any way i can configure the SMS conversation so: it receives texts from his 1st number and when i reply it goes to the 2nd number?
    Thank you

    I don't think it is possible to do what your friend is asking.
    He would need to call his phone carrier.

  • Cannot Receive Text from One Person

    I cannot receive texts from 1 person who is also a Verizon Customer, both of us have iPhone 4S phones.  I receive his messages on my iPad, but not my iPhone.   All other texting seems to be working with other contacts.  I could receive his texts/iMessages 12 hours ago without a problem.  Any suggestions?  I have rebooted my phone.  He can receive my texts.
    Thanks.

    I'm having a similar problem. I can receive texts from this one person but he cannot receive mine. I can also not call him but he can call me. He uses A T&T but does not have this problem when texting other verizon users. I have an Iphone 4S and he has an Iphone 5. This has been happening for 3 days. I have tried resetting the networks, restarting my phone,  and checking blocked contacts. Nothing is helping with the issue.

  • FM to convert any text from one language to other

    Hi Experts,
    1) Is there any function module to convert text from one language to other???
    2) Is there any function module to check whether the language of a text is English or not?
    Thank you.
    Regards,

    Hi Karthikeyan,
    We have a requirement where the text contains English and Thai words.
    We have to remove Thai words from this text.
    Any idea how to achieve this......

  • Stratosphere cannot receive texts from one person

    Suddenly this morning, my girlfriend stopped receiving texts from me. It shows sent on my end, but she does not get them. I can receive text from her just fine.
    I have no synced contacts, I have deleted our entire thread and deleted her as a contact. Tried sending to number with and without +1.
    She has an AT&T iPhone 4 if that matters.

        Thanks for posting your inquiry here, redbearder.
    We haven't heard back from you so I wanted to check into the messages.
    Do you know if anyone else is not receiving messages from you?

  • Not receiving texts from one person

    I deleted the contact. My friend did too...she's now receiving my texts, but I'm not receiving hers.

    Did you accidentally add her to your auto-reject list, mute the conversation, block from texting or use something like Mr. Number and block her with that app perhaps?

  • Can't get texts from one person

    Does anyone know of anything I could try to help me receive texts from someone that I previously received texts from just fine?
    About 2 weeks ago a friend of mine and I noticed that neither of our texts were being received by the other.  He uses an iPhone and I use a Galaxy S3.  I'm on Verizon and he's on AT&T.
    We're both able to send/receive from other people who use differing brands of devices (ie I can send/receive from other iPhone users and he can send/receive from other Android users) as well as both of us being able to send and receive from users from other carriers (ie I can send/receive from other AT&T users and he can send/receive from other Verizon users).
    Both of us have done a factory reset on our phones, made sure we've got the most up to date software etc.
    He's tried disabling iMessage which didn't help.
    The only things that I can find online about this are for people who used to have iPhones and now have Androids and their iMessage account is still tied to their number which causes issues.  This is not the issue for me as I've always been an Android user and up until about 2 weeks ago we could send/receive to and from each other just fine.
    Let me know if anyone has any thoughts!
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the response!  Neither of us have made any changes or updates to our phone (other than any automatic phone updates, but I don't think any of those would have happened for either of us in the last couple of weeks).  We both tried sending a text to the phone number rather than a saved contact but none of the messages made it through.
    We both use the default messaging application on our phones.
    Thanks for any assistance!

  • How can I print out all texts from one person

    How can I printall of my texts from my very bad lawyer?

    It's not a file, so you can't "open" one file. Every message (and note) is a single file on the computer.
    This Applescript will grab all the notes in the selected mailbox (i.e. the selected Notes item in Mail) and put them in a textEdit document.
    Note that Mail doesn't differentiate between a note and an email message, so if you run this while a normal email mailbox is selected, it will gather all of your email messages.
    tell application "Mail"
    set theMailboxes to the selected mailboxes of message viewer 0
    repeat with aMailbox in theMailboxes
    set theNotes to the messages of aMailbox
    set theText to ""
    repeat with aNote in theNotes
    set theText to theText & content of aNote & return
    end repeat
    end repeat
    end tell
    tell application "TextEdit"
    set myDocument to make new document at end of documents with properties {text:theText}
    end tell
    Copy and paste this into a new AppleScript Editor Document, select the Notes mailboxes you want to print the notes from, and click the Run button (Green button with arrow).
    This may take a while.

  • IPhone Restarts When Receiving a Text from Android

    A person I know has started sending me text messages with characters my iPhone 5 can't read (or that's what I think is happening). Whenever I get these texts my phone restarts once for each text I receive. The exact same thing happens to my friend who has a 4S. Then whenever I hit the Messages app it crashes immediately. I can only reply to texts if I hit the notification when I receive one from a different person.
    The way I've found to fix this is to use Siri to send a message to someone but hit the actual message, it loads up the different chats and I can delete the entire thing. Then he'll send another. Without paying $4 a month to block the number, how can I prevent this from happening? It's that string of arabic letters that completey screws over the phone.

    May just be something in her contact info (corrupt contact picture or something) that causes code to lock up.
    I would suggest deleting contact from phone.
    Then delete contact from your address book on computer you sync with.
    Then add contact back to computer fresh.
    Then sync to get it back on phone.
    Then reset any settings for that contact (ringtone etc).
    Also note if her contact is the only one that uses a custom ringtone you may have, it could also be the ringtone.
    Note, I am just guessing on this stuff but would be a logical course of action to take to determine.

  • My iphone 4s has stopped received texts from one person

    Hi everyone,
    My iphone 4s has suddenly stopped receiving texts sent from my husband's iphone 4s. I've never had a problem until a few days ago, and now nothing comes through from him.
    He still gets my texts fine, and there's nothing at his end that shows that his aren't getting through to me.
    I'm with Orange and he's with O2.
    Hope you can help me solve this rather annoying mystery. Thanks in advance!
    Best,
    Amanda

    Ready to try an experiment?
    Ok, go to Messages- and swipe to delete the message conversation with your husband.
    Next, go to Contacts. Find his contact card. IF you know his number, tap Edit, then Delete at the bottom. Now on the list of contacts tap the + button and Re-add him back into your contacts.
    Send him a message. It should work.
