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.

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.

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?

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.

Iphone 4s has stop receiving signal from cell tower?

no email
text or calls

Hi gig1007,
Let's get that device back up and running, I want you to be able to use your 4s! When did this begin? When calling out, do you receive an error message? When others call you, do they get your voice mail? With regard to your emails, are you having issues w/both sending and receiving?
Please reset your network settings, try again and keep me posted. The steps are right here: http://vz.to/16NnPBn
Thank 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?

My iPhone 4S has stopped receiving iMessages, cannot send/load any pictures over whatsapp, cannot join the wifi in my house anymore. What has happened to my iPhone i haven't made any changes?

My iPhone 4S has stopped receiving/sending iMessages, cannot send/load any pictures over whatsapp and cannot join the wifi in my house anymore.
Essentially all the things I use my phone for have now stopped working. I constantly have 3G connected (even though i dont want to use it, i want to connect to the wifi in my house) but still when I try to download/ send a picture over whatsapp it comes up with an error message saying the server is unverified, or something equally ridiculous.
I deleted the app so i could reinstall it (as if that would help), but the app store is started saying "unable to connect", despite 3G, so that bright idea died out pretty sharpish.
Whenever i try to turn on iMessage, it asks for my Apple ID password, which I know I've typed in correctly because I reset the **** thing about 4 times due to it apparently being "incorrect". Even so, it repeatedly asks for the password over and over as soon as I've entered it, saying it was "unable to connect" before a final "incorrect password" message pops up just to add an extra smack of annoyance.
I haven't changed a single setting on my iPhone whatsoever. It just suddenly started spiralling into what is now £28/month-worth of pure frustration.
I don't even have any music or photos on it as I had to free up 3.5GB of space on the **** thing to allow it to update, naively thinking that would solve the problem, but alas it did not.
I have seen a few questions posted like this one, usually just one of the problems I have, but I seem to have rounded up the whole bunch (lucky me). None of the previously posted questions have received any replies.
Can some please help me! Honestly, if i see another "unable to..." or "unverified source" pop up again I'll probably smash the thing against the side of my house.
Cheers.

On your iPad, go to [Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings] Once that is done, re-connect your iPad to your wifi network.

Did you set up restrictions for changing account info in Settings/General/Restrictions? If yes, disable them and try again to edit your mail account info.

Hi there
I’d be happy to help with this messaging error! This will be due to the device storing the number incorrectly. Please do the following to resolve the issue:
Delete texts from both old number and new
Delete any call logs including these numbers
Delete old number from contacts
Delete new number from contacts
Restart device
Send text to the new number directly (do not save as contact)
Once the text sends successfully, you can then save as a new contact
I hope this helps!

My LG G3 has stopped receiving email from my pop3 road runner account. It just has an "updating" message. It worked fine for the first two weeks and nothing now. Any advice?

This started about 3 days ago. I could manually push email through in the last few days but can no longer. I have deleted the account and re-entered the settings but I get a message that I cannot connect to the server.

I was using HeyWire to text my friends but it just stopped receiving texts from the friends in Grand Rapids, MI. Why?

I was using HeyWire to text my friends but it just stopped receiving texts from the friends in Grand Rapids, MI. So anyone can help me????

Suie,
Thanks for reaching out to us about it and we do really appreciate the feedback so that we can work on any issues that may be present. There was a period of maintenance with our servers and this is probably why you were unable to receive messages from a particular contact. I would close, and reopen the app and attemp to exchange messages with this contact. If you are still having issue please email us @ [email protected]
Thanks for using HeyWire!

Iphone 6 has stopped receiving email

My almost new iphone 6 (1month old) has stopped receiving emails for one of my yahoo accounts (it still gets email for the other one). It will not bring in any emails. When I pull up email it is blank and says I have no email. I have factory reset the whole phone, reset network settings and deleted the email accounts and reloaded. Nothing seems to fix the issue. HELP

Yahoo email is problematic on the iPhone unless you use the Yahoo email app. Just download the app and save yourself the headaches.

I cannot receive texts from one contact after updating to the iOS7 system - why?

I cannot receive texts from one contact after updating to the iOS7 system - why?

amyhs, thanks for those details. This is certainly quite odd that this has been going on so long and we definitely want to get to the bottom of this. Now, you stated that you have reached out to technical support and spoke with a tier two technical support representative. At this time, what actions or troubleshooting steps were taken? Are you aware if a ticket with our network technicians was ever created? As well, have you ever previously had an iPhone and are you aware if the users that are unable to message you are using iMessage?
