My iphone4 won't send a text to another iPhone.

I keep getting message "not delivered" . Anyone know what I should do?

Hi lizliz,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I recommend the troubleshooting steps in this article if you are not able to send text or iMessages:
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2755
If the behavior only happens with certain contacts, I recommend these specific steps:
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and re-create the contact from the Contacts application. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
Cheers,
Jeremy

    That usually means that the recipient is in a bad wifi or cellular data signal area.

    Make sure in Message settings that the MMS is turned on.  I was having problems, too and tried a couple of things. It wasn't until I turned the MMS on that the pictures attached to messages finally went through.

  • My IPhone 6 plus won't send group texts.

    My IPhone 6 plus won't send group texts. It will if i delete the group and recreate the group but if i continue to send texts in that group it will only send to an Iphone acount and not other cell phone brands.

    Start with soft reset then reset network settings and a possible Sim card reseat. Careful they pop out when using an earring or paperclip to remove.

  • When I send a text to another phone, it shows up on the other phone as coming from email address and not from phone number.

    I just came over from Sprint 4 days ago and had my number ported over. When I send a text to another number, it shows up on the other phone as coming from email address and not my phone number. For example, if the recipient of the text has me in the contacts as "Tom", the text comes to them displaying my email address instead of "Tom".

  • HT4993 How do you turn the weird sound off when sending a text using the iPhone 4S

    How do you turn the weird sound off when sending a text using the iPhone 4S?

    Go to Settings-Sounds-Text Tone and change to None.  You're referring to the sound when posting a message to someone else, correct?  The only issue is if you set to none, you will not hear the incoming either.

    You can only use iMessage to reach other iDevices. Non-Apple devices require a regular SMS text message.

  • My iPhone 4 sending a iMessage to another iPhone user, the message will send then says not delieverd? So I have to send it as a normal text message .

    Hey! So I'm having a problem with sending an IMessage to another iPhone user and they are having the same problem. The problem is; is that I send a message to them it will attempt to send then will say under the message that it was not delivered? So I send it as a normal text message. Weird part is that we both have full service and have the phone bills paid. Lol

    There is an earlier thread that was answered by an Apple employee that states they are seeing the iMessage and Facetime servers are down. It is unknown when they will return, however it generally is not an extended period of time.

    This started in December and all of a sudden, I cannot get my brothers replies to m text message even though he is getting mine. The only way for me to get his messages is if I have on my wifi..
    Which implies you are using iMessage and not SMS as SMS does not work over Wi-Fi.
    Are you having issues getting iMessages from anyone else?

    Genius, you are NOT addressing Apple here and throwing a tanturm is unlikely to get you any real help.
    If you'd like to grow up and provide some specifics of the issue we would be happy to help.

    Yes. On your phone make sure it is set to send messages from your phone number, not your apple id or other email address. That way when they reply it will go to your phone.

  • How do i block my number when i send a text on my iphone 4s

    how do i block my number when i send a text on my iphone 4s

    In the U.S. the FCC adopted anti spoofing rules applying to extend the "Truth in Caller ID" act. The specific recommendation from Congress read:
    Legislative recommendations include clarifying the scope of the Truth in Caller ID Act to include (1) persons outside the United States, (2) the use of IP-enabled voice services that are not covered under the Commission’s current definition of interconnected Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service, (3) appropriate authority over third party spoofing services, and (4) SMS-based text messaging services
    It is illegal to falsify the originating number for SMS messages in the U.S. This was originally intended to target telemarketers and text message spammers. The end result, though, is that is is illegal to block your phone number when sending an SMS message. A number (or unique, tracable, identifier, in the case of some automated system) must be sent since the recipient is charged for receipt of the message.
