My iPhone 5s can send iMessages but only receives SMS

Any suggestions on how to fix this problem? I've already been into settings-->iMessage and switched iMessage to Send. I'm out of ideas. Thanks.

  • New iphone 4 - can send imessages but error for others

  • I can send iMessages but cannot receive them?

    I can send Imessages to my friends with iphones but when I receive them they come in as texts. When I asked my friends they were sending me imessages but i was getting them as texts. This happened with multiple friends. What is wrong with my phone?

    Try turning Imessage off, and use it like that. It won't have all the capabilties but it still should work.

  • I can send imessages but not receive them?

    Apologies if this is a stupid question.
    I just got an iPhone 5 and can send imessages without any trouble, but when I receive a message it says 'Text Message' in small grey writing above the message. Does this mean that people are unable to send me imessages? I know that the people I am messaging have imessage turned on because I am able to send them imessages.

    Macrumors posted a solution for this.  I used it and it seems to have worked for me.
    Here's what they said:
    1. Turn off iMessage in Settings > Messages
    2. Reset networking settings in Settings > General > Reset
    3. Reenable iMessage in Settings > Messages

    I'm not completely sure if this happens when i send a picture to other people with iPhones but I know that when my bf or mom recieve a picture from me, it shows up as a video thats blank for a few seconds then shows the picture. They both have Android phones, bf has thunderbolt, idk what my mom has. Also happens with my roommate but it varies if its a video or picture. She has an Android also. Anyone else experiencing this or how to fix it?

  • Can send email but cannot receive on exchange account

    My .mac account, gmail account, and yahoo account work flawlessly on my iphone. My work account, however, does not. My employer has his iphone working fine and my settings are the same but for some reason I can't receive email. I have no problem sending email from the account with the iphone, only receiving. Anyone have any ideas?
    I have tried setting it up via the "exchange" option (entering mail servers, login, and password) and get the following:
    1. Cannot connect using SSL (I proceed without it)
    2. Cannot get mail. The user name or password is incorrect. IMAP support must be enabled. (which it is because my employer connects without issue).
    3. I save the account despite the warnings and can send email but not receive.

    I am having the same problem with both my work and Yahoo accounts. At least to the work account I am positive that the settings are the same as a co-worker using an iTouch to access his email. I have re-entered the settings a minimum of 10 times and the IT department has tried no less than 5 times. The error message remains the same. I could understand incorrectly entering the settings once or twice, but not separate people entering it 15 times. There is something else wrong with the iPhone software.

    Try Mail->Window->Connection Doctor.  If there is a problem reported, try:
    Open Mail->Preferences and check your settings.
    If you still have a problem, Copy your settings (screen capture ⇧⌘4), delete account, and re-setup account

  • I can send emails but not receive them. The sender address was rejected by the server

    i can send emails but not receive them. The sender address was rejected by the server.

    Your mail server doesn't like the sender's address for some reason, perhaps because his mail server has been blacklisted for spamming.

    Are we supposed to guess what the error messages are that you get? We can't help unless you provide some information. We can not see your iPad so can not see the error messages.

  • I can send iMessages but I can't receive them?

    Like the title says, i can send iMessages from my iPhone 5 but if anyone sends me a message it only comes in as a text message. I've tried resetting my network settings and turning off imessage and my phone but nothing seems to be working.

    Just to be clear, iMessages can only be sent between Apple devices.
