My iphone 4 wont receive or send text messages  anything i can do?

my iphone 4 will not receive or send messages unless the other phone is right next to it   anything i can do?

Try rebooting the phone by pressing and holding the on/off and home buttons simultaneously until the screen goes blank and you see the apple logo. It should take about 10-15 seconds to reboot.

    My iPhone wont let me send text messages to numbers with a different area code. How do I fix this so I can send texts to these numbers?

    If it shows up in iTunes and you can sync the phone, could be that the docking port is damaged.
    You should get it serviced or looked at by visiting an Apple Store or contacting Apple:

    My blackberry curve wont let me receive or send text messages

        This very strange JulianPrice! When did this messaging issue start? Are you able to send /receive message to any contact? Is this issue with SMS only or MMS as well? What messaging application do you use? What is your current ZIP code? Do you have the latest available software for your phone? Please answer these questions and we'll explore options to resolve.

  • Cannot receive or make call and receive or send text messages in areas where there is a high wifi signal.

    Please help me. I just got my iphone 4 last february and it was working just fine. But recently, i am having problems with its phone features such as text messaging and call. Most of he times i have a full network signal yet i cannot receive or make a call, receive or send text messages. I have also observed that everytime i am in a wifi zone where its signal strenght is high, this problem always exists. There seems to be no problem with its other features...please help me anyone.

    Wi-Fi has nothing to do with making/receiving calls, or sending/receiving text messages... those features only work over the cellular network.
    Have you contacted the carrier to rule out network issues or swap out the SIM card to eliminate that as a possibility?
    What about Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings?

    My IMessage wont let me send any messages but i can still recive them how can i fix this?

    Because Apple's currently having trouble with the iMessage and FaceTime servers. Nothing can be done from your end.

  • New iphone can't receive or send text messages

    I can't receive or send test messages. I tried turning airplane mode on and off. I also don't seem to have a data plan added to my service. I looked at my contract and it just shows family talk. I thought they automatically add this to iphone contracts.

    It doesn't display an error message. It sends it out, but the recipient never receives it. I think the Best Buy person screwed up my service some how. She didn't sign me up for a data plan or a text message plan for this account. I was supposed to keep my same plan. It should still send texts though (at a higher non-text plan rate).

  • Why won't my phone send text messages but I can receive them?

    I have the iphone 5 and I updated my phone to the ios7. Within the past few days I have not been able to send text messages as imessages but I can receive them. When I try to send a message it will freeze at 95% and it wont go through. I even have 5 bars and I am connected to wifi when I send them. I reset my network settings but there was no change. Is there a way to fix this? A few of my friends have also expereinced this problem.

    From my original reply, "Why did you change your SIM card?" Did you change carriers, was there a problem with the original SIM, did you change plans?
    The iPhone has no settings for SMS. SMS is a carrier feature, call them back and have them check the provisioning on your account. If this SIM change caused the problem, it has nothing to do with the phone.

  • I just purchased a note 3.  Everything works well except I cannot send text messages.  I can receive them, but I get an error message when I try to send them

    Can anyone tell me why I cannot send text messages on my note 3?   I can receive them, but when I attempt to send them I get an error message unable to send . . .  It's a brand new phone.

        Congratulations on your new phone, Nonaleigh.
    We would love to get to the bottom of your message mystery.
    I'm guessing you are getting the error for all messages you attempt to send, is that correct?
    What type of phone did you upgrade from? We ask because if you have switched from an Apple device (e.g., iPhone) to a non-Apple device (e.g., Android, Blackberry, etc.) and previously used the iMessage service, you may experience issues sending/receiving SMS/MMS messages with Apple device users. You need to deactivate the iMessage service within your Apple account to restore normal SMS/MMS functionality.

  • IPhone 5S not intermittently not receiving or sending text messages

    My new IPhone 5S is frustrating me. Sometimes I am not receiving Imessages from others using Verizon IPhones - they have to retry and eventually they send the message as regular text. Sometimes when I IMessage these people, I too, get a "not delivered" error and must send as text. I just received my IPhone end of February and am seeing this occur a frequently
    Also contacts on Androids from other carriers sometimes have the same issue occur - they do not receive my text messages or I do not receive theirs. Not all the time but intermittently. Can someone please tell me how to correct this. I have cold started the phone numerous times.
    This is very aggravating!

    The first thing to do is contact your carrier and make sure your account is provisioned properly.
