  • Multiple vibrations when receiving a text message

    I recently switched from a Motorola phone to an iPhone 3GS and it seems that the iPhone only vibrates 1 time when I receive a text message. I don't often feel the phone vibrate in these instances. Is there a way to change the settings on the phone so it will vibrate multiple times when I receive a text?

    You can't change the setting. However, if you don't open the text it will vibrate again a few minutes later.

  • Phone will not send or receive any text messages

    My Samsung Illusion will not send or receive text messages but the calling feature still works. I've tried all of the troubleshooting techniques, including a hard factory reset, yet the messenger still won't work. Any suggestions??

  • IPhone 5s will not send or receive mms/group messaging

    Hello,
    I recently got a new iPhone 5s for my birthday. Before I had a iphone 4. My carrier is verizon
    I had never been able to send pictures to friends who have non iphone phones. I also was never able to receive a group message with people who have non iPhones and iPhones. When I try to send a group message including non iphone users, it sends all messages independently. I have tried everything from turning iMessage and mms on and off to taking out my SIM card. My friend who has an iphone started a group chat with users of iphone and non iphone, though I am still not able to receive the messages even with a new phone and a new SIM card. Is this a problem with verizon? Even so my friends who receive the group chat have verizon and still get the messages. Please I need to fix this because it's extremely aggravating that a simple group messaging function does not work and that no one so far can give me answer on how to fix this. Thanks.

    Contact Verizon. Group messages in iOS send as MMS messages, which is the same thing used to send picture messages. Your account is not provisioned properly (or you do not have a plan that includes MMS messaging).

  • I phone will not send or receive ANY text messages.

    My daughter has an iphone and it recently stopped sending or receiving text messages.  We have done several resets, spent hours on the phone with tech support, been sent a new phone, and can't seem to get this resolved.  I'm curious if anyone else has had a similar issue?

    are you talking about storage or data as in how much you can download from the Internet with your carrier each month?

  • HT3529 Why do I not receive a ringtone or vibration when receiving a text message?

    I Have an iPhone 5 but it doesn't make a ringtone sound or vibrate even though it is checked in the settings, does anyone know why?

    Is the device on Vibrate?
    Is a valid ringtone selected?
    Is there a notification when a call is incoming?
    Has basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide been tried?

  • My iPhone 5 will not ring when my phone number is called.

    Despite the "Silent" button on the side of the iPhone 5 being set to off, and the ringer turned on full blast, my iPhone 5 will not ring when any number calls my phone. This is not an issue with the settings, which are all set for the phone to ring. Has anyone else run into this problem, or may have a solution besides taking the phone in for repair? My phone is no longer covered under the one year limited manufacturer's warranty, so any repair is likely going to cost a minimum of almost $300.
    Thanks in advance for the help!

  • My iphone 4 will not send and receive text messages at random times

    My iphone 4 will not send and receive text messages at random times.  My brother has the same phone, lives in the same home and doesn't have this problem.  I can't receive messages without my iphone displaying a message asking for my phone number at random times. It happens intermittently.  Does anyone know why this happens? I am referring to regula text messages not imessages.  I have turned it off and also updated to the most recent software. thanks

    I've been an AT&T customer since they were under different names in the 90s and have never heard/seen that. I would check with them. I'd really like to see that error. To get a screenshot on the phone, press the home button and sleep/wake button together quickly and release. You will see the screen flash slightly and hear the camera shutter noise.

  • Why do text messages from my iPad appear to some people as if they came from my email address instead of my phone number? This does not happen when I send text messages from my iPhone.

    Why do text messages from my iPad appear to some people as if they came from my email address instead of my phone number? This does not happen when I send text messages from my iPhone.

    You need to link your iPhone number to Messages - and Facetime if you use it. For Messages go to Settings>Messages>Send and Receive at>You can be reached by iMessage at. If your phone number is showing there, select it as your Contact address. If it doesn't appear in there, take a look at the end of this article for help.

  • Is there a way to have iphone 4 blink when receiving a text message?

    I just switched over to iphone4 from a blackberry and wanted to know if there is a setting that allows the iphone to blink red or green when receiving a text message, much like the blackberry does. my phone is on silent and, without a function like this, i am unable to tell when i am receiving a text message. if there are any other things that would allow for notification as well, please let me know! also, is there a text message icon that can appear at the top of the phone, like the lock icon? thanks a lot!
