My iphone 4s can't send text messages or receive calls

I've had my phone a few months now and I have had no issues. All of a suddent this morning I notice I can not receive calls or send out text messages. I'm told they either go straight to my voicemail or they get a message saying my service has been temporairly disconnected. I can make calls and I can receive texts. I can access the internet through my data. Has anyone had this issue? If so does anyone know of a fix? My carrier says the towers in my area are fine with no known issues.

You are not alone I could not only send messages but I could not even type in the box went in the setting and notice that iMessage was turned off and when I reactivated it my phone now making the most horrible sound when a message comes in or goes out and I cannot stop it. Also make sure that the Do Not Disturb option is on.

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:

I can not send text messages

this is a new problem on my g4. all of a sudden I can not send text messages when i am in my home. this happens on my s4 and my sons s4 but my daughter uses an iphone and she is not having this problem. i can receive texts, facebook, email etc I just can not send texts. Nothing in my house has changed except that Comcast just put in a new modem, I am not tech savvy at all so not even sure that would affect my out going texts
any suggestions would be great

Hi scrappy1989,
Let's see what's causing the problem! Are you using a 3rd party messaging application? Are you having trouble sending picture and text message? Do you experience the issue with everyone you send a message to? Do you receive an error message? I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Nokia X3-02 can't send text message to only one of...

i can't send text message to only one of my contacts... what happen? what should i do? help me pls... tnx...

Hi,
You can send the other contacts SMS but not only one contact, Right?
Then the issue is with your contact, maybe the number is not right or not the right format.
So check your contact number with number which you can send SMS.
Maybe it is best to delete that contact and create new contact which the format is the same with the others.
I hoe this helps.

Can't send text messages (can only recieve). How do I change Service Center Number

Hello. As my subject states, i can't seem to send text messages (but i can receive them). I'm told by my carrier that i need to change my service center number (and they provided it). I've been looking all over the phone for this option, and can't seem to find it. I keep seeing posts saying "On your device: Options > SMS > Service Center." but "service center" does not appear when i go to options>SMS text. I see the following; screen options conversation style: show names: message options priority: callback number: disable autotext: so my question is;, where do i find this?

How can I send text messages without being a thread as an group??

Hi guys, I want to send text messages so several person without being an SMS as an group chat.
Why do I want it?? Well it's mostly to send Christmas greetings to several persons without they know to whom I send to because many of them dot even know each other.. And I don't want the recipients to see the numbers of other recipients..
I've read in the forum that you can turn off the "group messaging" in the "messages" bar. However i don't have that, so is there any other ways I can aens text without it being an SMS as group????
