  • IPhone "not delivering" text to one number - all others seem fine

    Hi,
    A friend of mine is in China and has encountered a bizarre problem.
    He had a China Mibile SIM card but on Sunday , bought a China Unicom card so as to get 3G.
    Everything works fine, except that he cannot text (SMS) one particular friend who lives nearby him.
    Phone calls are not a problem and he can receive texts from her, but my friend tries to text he just gets the red exclamation icon and it says "Not Delivered".
    Other numbers he has tried have no problems.
    Anyone know what might be causing this?
    Cheers

    I've just switched SIM cards with someone else who is on P&G o2 and has an IPhone 5 running 6.1.2. My sim in their phone still won't send texts to the problem number yet their sim in my phone will? Think it might be a network issue?

  • Iphone 5 will not deliver text messages

    I phone 5 will not send or receive text messages, red message pops up "Not Delivered".  It will send and receive text messages only if a picture is attached.  I have confirmed with my service provider that text messaging is included and part of the phone service.  iMessage and FaceTime when turned on says "waiting for activation".  Took the phone to Apple store the other day.  After 3 hours they reset the phone several times, checked the software, and did who know what else only to tell me iMessage was down or being worked on and it should work in a little while.  To ensure it was not a hardware issue I pressed Apple for a little insurance, they swaped the orgnal phone for a new phone.  This did not fix the issue.  Still no text message.

    Having the same problem here. Stuck at work so I haven't had a chance to look into it, but everything else (data/voice/etc) works fine, so I have a hard time believing the phone is to blame. Anyone else experiencing this?

  • IPhone 5 - "Not Delivered" Message for Pictures Sent via iMessage

    I have received the "not delivered" message when trying to send a picture message via iMessage. The pictures actually are received by the other parties, yet I still get the error message, as do other parties when trying to send photos to me. If the picture is sent via text they send without the error message. Does anyone have any information that could help me with this problem?
    I have the 32GB iPhone 5 on iOS 7.1.1.

    Any errors when attempting to view pics?
    Have you tried Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings?

  • Anyone having problem with iphone getting not delivered message after sending picture and it really is getting delivered to recipient.

    Anyone having problem with iphone getting a not delivered message after sending pic and it really is getting delivered to recipient.

    Same problem here with and I've done everything shy of a total reset which I also find unacceptable. This problem exists on all iMessage platforms (iPhone, iPad, and Mac) so I don't see how restoring my iPhone would help the problem.

  • Does anyone have a clear solution as to why my new iPhone will not send text messages to some numbers.

    Does anyone have a clear solution as to why my new iPhone 5 will not send text messages to some numbers?

    I had problems the first few days with text messaging on my new cell. I checked my new contract service thru AT&T online, and it turned out the guy who set up my phone didn't sign me up for the unlimited texting I told him I HAD to have!  I just had to add texting back into my contract.....problem solved.  I hope your problem is solved this easily.

  • Why will my Iphone 5 not send texts after update to OS7?

    After upgrading to OS7 for the Iphone 5 stop sending texts.  It indicates they send but they do not.  I put the sim card in another Iphone still running OS6 and the messages send.

    I'm having the same problem.  90% of my texts aren't being sent.  This was never a problem before I updated to iOS7.  Is there no solution for this?

  • IPhone 4 not receiving texts off wifi

    Not sure what is going on with texts (specifically iMessages from other peoples' iDevices) not getting to me sent as iMessages, nor texts until my phone is back at home and on wifi? I thought iMessages were supposed to work over cellular data as well?
    I've tried figuring this one out from the troubleshooting guides. My phone is set up to send and receive iMessages as well as SMS at my phone number. I can send texts even if I completely turn iMessages off. It's just not receiving texts from people that are on wifi, when I'm off of it... until I get on it, by which time it's usually too late, and I get angry reprimands. Don't feel like getting fired over something like this, just because my phone is messing up and my boss can't get a hold of me...

  • Iphone 5 not getting text from new numbers?

    im on ios 7.0.4. Recently, ive been having the problem of not getting messages from new numbers. I receive all texts and calls from all current phone numbers ive ever had contact with. But for the past month, any new numbers that text me first, i do not receive them. But if i text and or call them first, it works fine. Which isnt always a convinence. They sent me screen shots of my number and their text; they all have different phones on different services.

        Perk123, this is a text messaging mystery! I'm on the case. I recommend that delete all unwanted text messages on your device and power it off/on to soft reset it.
    You will also need to advise your friend that has the AT&T iPhone to reset the network on their device. This can be done by accessing Settings >General >Reset >Reset Network.
    Lastly your friend needs to verify if your contact has been set up to block calls and text messages from your mobile number. This option is located in Contacts >your contact> Block this caller.
    Keep us posted.

  • Iphone 5c not receiving texts

    I got an iPhone 5c about a month ago. It's my first smart phone, and it's been giving me issues for a while.
    During the first week or so of using it, I was able to receive iMessages as SMS messages, even when I had data turned off and was not connected to wifi. Now, however, I can send texts but I can't receive them unless I'm connected to wifi. This only seems to be a problem with other iPhones. Family members with non-Apple devices can text me when I don't have an internet connection, but I only get the messages from other iPhones when I'm back in a place that has wifi. I turned off data because the phone was using it even when I wasn't doing anything, and I'd rather not keep it on all of the time because of that.
    I called Verizon support, and the suggestion was to just turn iMessage off because "it's hard for the phone to switch between Apple and Verizon's servers." I've looked everywhere online for answers, and most everything just suggests either wiping the phone or that texting simply doesn't work without data. I've had a few phones over the years, none of which had any sort of data plan, and I was always able to send and receive text messages.
    What should I do about this? At this point I'm honestly just frustrated and considering going back to a regular data-less phone.

    I was under the impression that SMS messages do not need cellular data in order to be sent and received. I know they don't use much data, the problem is everything else that seems to use data in the background.
    I set it to just go through my phone number as you suggested, so maybe that will help. Thanks!

  • IPhone 5S not receiving texts and pictures from Android without data on

    I have a 4 month old iPhone 5S and for some reason I'm not able to receive texts and photos from my friends who have Android phones. The only time I receive them is when I turn my data on. I have a very limited data plan and I would prefer to only turn it on in the case of an emergency, not to receive texts from friends. As of now, it seems that my phone is perfectly able to send texts to them, I just can't receive them.
    HELP!

    A cellular data connection is needed to receive and send MMS per the above link.

  • IPhone 4 not receiving texts correctly?

    I got an iPhone recently this week on Tesco Mobile (basically o2), and I've been noticing an issue. Texts aren't coming through right. Sometimes they come through fine within a matter of seconds of the sender sending them, but more often than not I won't receive any messages unless I switch my phone on and off, in and out of aeroplane mode, text someone or call/am called by someone. It's seriously weird, and very annoying.
    At a guess I would assume this is an issue with the handset. Perhaps it is not refreshing the network signal? That would explain why any activity that requires a refresh/use of the signal allows me to suddenly receive texts for a short while again.... It's also worth mentioning I've tried a hard reset already. No change. I'm not really open to the idea of restoring because that's a pain.

    Well it seems the problem is focused only where I live, so I'm guessing it may just be an issue with the nearby cell tower. Planning on giving Tesco a bell and I'll see what they say, I guess.

  • Why is my Verizon iPhone 4 not sending texts to only one person

    my texts will send to every single person in my contacts list except for one. does anyone know how I can fix this because it was working fine earlier.

    Why do you think that the issue is with you?
    It seems like the one person who does not receive your texts has the issue.
