My phone can send text messages but won't receive them.

ItI

My fiancé and I are also having this issue. He has a droid X and I have the lg env 3. We can send texts but don't get texts until about 2 hours after they are sent to us. However.. We can speed up the process by sporadically making phone calls.. If we suspect someone has replied to our texts.. If we call each other or voicemail or wherever.. It pushes the texts through whatever is holding them back and we can then receive them. We have full bars and I did shut off my phone, take out the battery and then put it back in and turn it on. Hopefully you can help?

  • I can send text messages but I cannot receive them!  Can anyone help?

    On my iPhone, I can send text messages, and other people receive them, no problem.
    But when people send me texts, I never get them. What is going on, and what should I do?
    Frustrated,

    I'm having the same problem. I came from Verizon, and activated about an hour ago. I got the 2 free text messages from AT&T and can send, but not receive. My friend who transferred from TMobile on Friday night had the same exact problem. He had to call a number, and have them fix some thing in his billing that was not correct. I am trying to get the number from him. It is an AT&T thing.

  • Suddenly unable to send text messages. No problem receiving them

    iphone 5 with 8.1.2 version. not able to send text messages. I am able to receive them

  • Can send picture msgs but suddenly cant receive them

    i have blackberry and can send picture msgs but within past weeks cant receive pict msgs. 
     spoke w verizon they said check w people sending msg and their resolution.  but i have been able to receive pict msgs in the past

    I have read your post and understand you are unable to receive picture messages. On your device you will want to power it off and remove the battery. Once the device is powered back on dial *228 and press send. Once provided the options, select option 1 to re-program your device. This should fix the issue of not being able to receive picture messages. You will also want to make sure the picture message does not exceed file size limit. The file size limitation is based on the megapixels of the camera on the device.

  • How come i can send text message but cant receive

    I have a Skype in number unlimited plan also Skype credit but.I can receive text messages why is that?

    By text message do you mean SMS message?
    If yes, then currently receiving SMS messages is not supported. Online Numbers are just regular landline numbers and don't receive SMS messages
    Online Number only enables you to receive incoming calls:

  • I have a droid incredible and my best friend has an ipod touch. She can send texts to me and I receive them just fine but when I send texts to her, she doesn't receive them. Any suggestions on what might be wrong?

    Suggestions appreciated :]

    She is using the message free app and I was just using the regular texting option on my phone. I set up an account on text plus free cuz I thought that might help but she still can't receive them. I can send messages to other people with ipod touches just fine. I just started having a problem with her receiving my texts.

  • Messaging sending text messages but they are received as picture messages ?

    Help needed, have swapped phone but it is still happening. when I send a sms sometimes people cannot read them as they arrive as blank picture messages and I am being charged for picture messaging ?? HELP what am i doing wrong

    If you check Settings > Messages, do you have "Show subject field" turned on? If it is and you type any text in that field, your SMS will be sent as MMS.

  • HT4976 I have re-installed Emoji on my iPhone 4s.  it will send icons out but won't receive them???

    I can send out Emoji Icons but not receive them.  Any idea why??

    There is no need for an Emoji app on an iPhone 4S. The emoji keyboard is built in. Settings>General>Keyboard>Keyboards>Add New Keyboard. Try unistalling the app and using the built in keyboard.

  • How do I make it so my phone can send Multimedia messages again? Samsung Intensity II

    I'm not sure if this is even where I am supposed to post this, I've been having a few difficulties navigating around the site as it is, so my apologies if it is in the incorrect section or anything.
    I have a Samsung Intensity II, and up until today it was perfectly fine. but now it wont send Multimedia messages anymore, I think I may have accidentally changed a setting on it some how. So far I haven't seen any other problems with it.
    Every time I try to send a Multimedia message of any kind, to anyone, it will sort of freeze on the percentage sent bar, for about 5 or so minutes, and then it will continue through all the way to 100% pausing like that, and then say "send failed would you like to try again?"
    I can receive Multimedia messages, and text messages, I can send text messages, but not multimedia messages. It fails every time.
    I have turned my phone off and back on, I have removed the battery and put it back in, nothing has changed. actually about the only thing I've seen change since the first time it wouldn't send, is that it pauses on 29% instead of 19%.
    If you can tell me what setting may have changed this, or another way for me to transfer my pictures, I would be very appreciative. Thank you for your time.

        Hi okikust,
    I use picture messages all of the time! I understand why you would want this corrected as soon as possible. I would like to look at your account, in order to determine the root cause of the issue and fix it! Please send me a DM with your name, mobile number, and contact number. I will be happy to review this personally. Thanks!
