My iphone 4s will not send messages to certain people?

I picked up my new iphone 4s at the weekend, since i turned the phone i found some people where ''ignoring me'. People who have rang my new number have said it says ''no number'' and ''not regonised''. Some of my messages haven't been recieved by my friends, and likewise i have not recived theirs. Would really appreicate some help? Really disapointed that my brand new Iphone 4s can't do a simple function as SMS messaging.

If it isn't sending to non-iPhone users go to Settings>Messages and turn Send AS SMS to On.  If it isn't just non-iPhone users then the problem could be with your carrier or theirs, and you'll have to follow up with them to investigate it.

  • My iphone 4 will not send messages

    My sons phone will not send messages, it will recieve though. I have tried restoring to factory settings but this has not helped, help!

    is it giving any specific error message? Have you tried a different outbound smtp server?

  • My iPhone 4 will not send messages as iMessage

    It will only send messages as text. There is nothing wrong with my network connection. Safari and Mail work fine. I know it is sending as text because the message is in green. I don't even have Send as SMS on in Settings.

  • TS2755 How come my iphone 5 will not send messages or receive them ever since I updated it a few hours ago?

    Why will my iphone 5 not send or receive messages ever since I updated it to iOS 7.0.4 a few hours ago?

    I have no idea, works on mine. Does it still do that after you do a Reset? (Hold down the home and sleep button, wait for the Apple logo, let go of the buttons.)

  • 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.

    When you said you went to Settings and everything seems good. Does that mean the MMS was turned on? If so, and this is only being experienced when dealing with SMS/MMS, then you should contact your carrier to have them check to make sure your account is provisioned for MMS, and that everything is alright with your account. SMS/MMS is a carrier function.

    Yes I have turned imessage off a number of times and that does not seem to he doing the trick, and it is not delivering them then I have to press on the photo and either chose try again or send as text message, I have had the setting on to not allow sending pictures as texts (so they can only send as imessage) since I got my phone in January and it has always worked until now, I have turned that off to allow me to send them as picture messages now but it's still not working over iMessage, I have also tried it using 3G and not wifi

  • TS5185 My IPAD will not send messages to non APPLE users.

    Today, Christmas Day, while trying to send a message my IPAD wanted me to turn on iMessage. There was no option not to do this. After it was turned on I could no longer send messages to non Apple users. After reading online that I could set send SMS on my IPHONE I did. Now I guess it send everything as an SMS message. Now my IPAD will not send messages to non Apple users. I guess Apple wants us to pick our friends only if the use Apple products. This is about as stupid as it gets. They want us to only communicate with Apple users. The only other option is to turn the feature off. Why have iMessage in the first place.
    So my situation is I can send SMS Messages on my IPHONE. I cannot send any messages to non Apple users on my IPAD and iMessages to my Apple users.
    This kind of stupidity is why I switched from Windows to Apple in the first place. Don't they test anything out anymore at Apple?

    Please don't take this the wrong way, but I think that you might be doing something wrong.

  • My iphone 5 will not send texts by imessage

  • TS3899 I am receiving emails but my phone will not send messages.  It says my password is incorrect but it doesn't allow me to enter it.  Any ideas?

    My phone will receive emails but it will not send messages.  It says my password is incorrect but doesn't allow me an opportunity to enter it again.  Any thoughts?

    Under settings>mail, contacts and calendars if you click on the account... then the account name again on the next page.... then click outgoing mail server... then click under the words primary server... here is where you can enter your password... it's most likely missing or incorrect.
    good luck

  • Mail will not send messages. Help please: it receives OK but parks my outbound stuff in either Drafts or Outbox

    Mail will not send messages. Help please: it receives OK but parks my outbound stuff in either Drafts or Outbox

    Thanks for your answer. Apprciate it very much. Just prior to receiving your email, I got back online. However, as I had tried what you suggested (and a lot more as I am 'reasonably' competent), and had been so doing since yesterday afternoon, I do believe that what you suggested was correct - that it was my third rate ISP that was at fault.
    Nevertheless, many thanks once again.

  • Iphone e-mail will not send messages

    My IPhone receives e-mail but will not send mesages.  I've gone into the advanced mail settings but I don't see any outgoing settings.  Can anyone help me?

    Someone at RR told you it is RR that prevents using their SMTP server to send messages with their email account when connected to AT&T's EDGE network?
    Did you try using 587 for the server port for RR's SMTP server on the iPhone?
    Add 587 to the end of RR's SMTP server address separated by a colon.
    smtp.addresss.com:587
