My iPhone 5 won't send texts without wifi, even when I have 4G. It also won't make calls. Any ideas?

Do you have a cellular plan with data and SMS activated?

My imessage wont send through wifi( even when i have a strong signal). How can i fix this?

This feature only works with people who have iMessage on their iPhone. If you are sending a text to someone with a blackberry etc, you will not get the delivery messages.

pls inform as its a costly phone and i cant just take it to any roadside person.

These features are most likely result of faulty battery. Make Genius reservation and take to Apple Store for free quick battery diagnostic testing.

I don't have a phone plan, so I cannot text without wifi. I have been using iMessage to text my friends, until it stopped working. I can text my sisters email, but not my boyfriends iPhone. The send button will not turn blue. Help? Please?

There is a problem with iMessage with what Apple says is a small number of iPhones and they are working on a fix. In the meantime try this:
1. Settings > Messages > iMessage = Off
2. Settings > FaceTime > FaceTime = Off
3. Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
4. Wait for the iPhone to Reboot
5. Settings > FaceTime > FaceTime = On
6. Settings > Messages > iMessage = On
You may have to repeat the steps a couple of times.

IPhone 3GS won't send texts anymore!

I have an iPhone 3GS, and since I upgraded to iOS5 it won't send text messages! I have plenty of service, but I can't send texts. The bar will get close to the end, but never say "message sent". I've rebooted and reset everything already multiple times and it STILL won't work. I turned off my 3G and it STILL won't work. it's driving me crazy! It never did this until I upgraded the software. someone please tell me how to fix it!

If you've talked to your cell provider, to verify nothing is wrong on the account provisioning end, the next step would be a device "restore". This would be the logical next step to take after "reboot and reset".

New iPhone won't send texts/make calls

I broke my iPhone 5s a week ago, so I called *228 to put my number on an old iPhone 4 that my friend had so that I had a phone to use while I waited for my new one to come. My new phone is here and i have all my contacts on it as well as my apps, but it won't send text messages or make calls. I can't even call *228. I was wondering what I need to do so that this new phone is associated with my number again. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Restart the phone by holding down the top/power button and the Home button at the same time until the device restarts.

Won't Send Texts and Now Won't Make Calls... Claims No Service

The other day my phone wasn't sending text messages, I could recieve them and make calls but no one was getting my messages I sent to them. I've had this problem before and it would usually just correct itself, annoying, but it would. Well it went on for two full days so I called and did the *228 and reprogrammed my phone. And yes, I tried taking out the battery also and it didn't work. It seemed to work after the reprogramming though. Then the next morning, today, not only did my phone not send messages, after it had been working just fine, but it would not make calls either. I couldn't even dial *228 without the call being dropped. A message pops up every few minutes saying messages couldn't be sent and would be sent once service became available. My phone has no service whatsoever, bars pop up for a second or two and then goes back to absolutely ZERO service. This is very strange considering I live in a pretty decent service area, have never had issues with it before, and everyone else around here has Verizon as well and haven't had any issues. On top of this, with my phone constantly searching for service, the battery ran out a lot faster than normal so I turned my phone off, since it was pretty much useless anyways. Well, good thing I did because while it was one it was sending the text message I sent to my boyfriend this morning, before I'd realized my phone was having issues, over and over. He recieved well over 100 duplicate messages. And even when I turn my phone back on it keeps sending the message to him... even though on my end it still says no service and that none of my texts from today have sent and will be sent when service becomes available. I called Verizon today and the woman I spoke with, while very nice, seemed clueless about my issue and tried to walk me through some troubleshooting she was just reading off of something and she herself didn't even know what she was telling me to do or what the benefit of it was. When I finally said I was on my break at work and had to get back inside, she informed me she was just going over the basic troubleshooting and I could talk to Tech Support and they could further assist me. I didn't have any time to stay on the phone then since it had already been 20 minutes that got me nowhere. My issue now is I don't have a phone to even call Tech Support to try and figure out what's going because I was using a friends at work. So long story short, my phone claims to not be able to send any messages but has sent over 100 messages to my boyfriend (and God knows who else who just hasn't told me), my phone won't make any calls without dropping them after a second, and my phone has no service even in good service areas... and all of these issues just came out of nowhere and my phone is pretty much unusable at the moment. What I want to know is if there is anyway to fix this problem... or if I am just going to have to suck it up and get a new phone? Thank you, I definitely appreciate the help.

Droid X Won't Send Text Messages

My Droid X won't send text messages to one of my contacts who also has Verizon when I am in North Carolina. I can send her picture messages from NC but everytime I try to send her a text I get a message saying "text not sent". I can receive messages from her but cannot send them. I don't have any problem when I am at home in Virginia but in North Carolina it won't send my messages. I don't think it is a problem with my plan or coverage bc I can send messages to everyone else in my phonebook, she is the only person that my phone won't send them too. It makes no sense to me. HELP!!!!!

I am also having issues with my Droid Ultra. I get some messages from my wife, while others do not come through.I can verify this by looking at her phone. This has been happening past few days. I also have noticed that a pop up stating that messaging suddenly has stopped working. Please advise!
System Version = 19.6.3.obake_version.Verizon.en.US

HT201263 My IPhone4 won't send text message to anyone.

My Iphone won't send text message to anyone. It always say fail and give me a red sign. I already reset it and turn it of and back on. It won't give me a number to choose from and will give me my email account. I call sprint and they say that my IPhone4 is a detective phone/don't work. I was wondering if anyone knew how to fix it?
It always say waiting for activation and what is SIM
Everything on my IPhone4 work but my message.

This is probably a carrier issue; have you talked to Sprint about this problem? Your complaint was truncated, so it appears to say a "conversation open" at the end. If this is the case then the device is sending text messages, and the other party is receiving them. If this is occurring then it sounds like a problem with the receiving party or carrier.

Hi,
Have you tried a reset?
This solves a lot of these problems, and I'm not sure if this will work in your case, but give it a try. You hold down the sleep and home buttons at the same time. A slider will appear. Ignore it and keep holding both buttons down. After about 15 seconds the Apple logo will appear. See if that helps.
You will not lose anything on your ipad when you do a reset. (A restore is a whole other issue!)
The following link addresses your issue and offers some other possible solutions.

My iphone 5S will send texts as imessage but frequently switches to regular (green) messages even for people that I know use imessage - since we have exchanged (blue) messages previously. Is there something I can do to fix this or is it a unit problem?

Please help.

You can try to log out of iMessage and then sign back in. However, even under optimal conditions, iMessage will not always work. That's why the option of 'Send as SMS' is so important. There might be temporary outages in the related iMessage servers.
