New iPhone 3G, Unable to recieve SMS Messages

Can anyone help me? I got a new iPhone recently, and im unable to receive text messages from most everybody, yet i can from other AT&T users... i wanted to know if its just because my service is new with AT&T and if i will soon be able to receive messages from everyone in my area, thanks.

I know that when you are new to a carrier and have to port all your info over it does take some time. If you are not receiving text messages by tomorrow afternoon I would give AT&T a call.

  • Help! New iphone 3g not sending/recieving text messages or email!!!

    Hey guys. I just got myself a 3g iphone today and im already havin issues with it. I updated to 3.1.2 right off the bat.
    Well it seems that i can send email, but that seems to be about it. I can not send or recieve text messages. I can recieve email, but it will not notify me when I get a new email. The only way i can find out if i have a new email is by opening the mailbox and waiting for it to refresh.
    Isnt this thing suposed to push my emails and notify me as soon as they are sent? How do i get this and my text messaging working? This is so disapointing since my wife just got a $10 phone that worked flawlesly right out of the box.
    thanks all,
    ---Joe

    First off, Reset your iPhone. Hold down the sleep and home buttons, ignore the off slider, wait for the Apple logo to appear then let the buttons go. After it resets try to send a text message again. If it does not work there is probably an issue with your carrier and you will have to contact them.
    As far as mail, do you have a MobileMe, Yahoo push, GMail push, or Exchange mail account? Because these are the only ones that will Push your mail to the iPhone. If you do have one of these make sure Push is turned on in the Mail settings. If you don't have one of these you can go to the Mail settings and specifying a mail Fetch period.

  • Unable recieve sms messages

    I've got a 6230 which has always worked fine until last week it stopped recieving sms messages.
    I havn't changed any settings on it - the only thing i can think of thats different is that i swapped batteries with a friends phone, but the new battery i have in it is still the standard BL-5C that comes with the model and the phone was recieving messages for at least a day after i changed the battery so i don't know if this is the cause of the problem..
    Any ideas??

    Hi there
    The same thing happened to me on my brand new N95. I went through all possible tests with my carrier and they determined there was nothing wrong on their end. Was so weird as, like you, I could do everything except receive sms. I ended up taking the 10 day old phone back into the shop and they put the sim card in another handset and it didn't receive sms in that handset either, and the shops sim card did receive sms in my handset.
    So I was given a new sim card and problem was fixed. 2 days worth of received sms lost in the ether though No explanation as to why this happened. The sim card was also only 10 days old.
    So I would suggest trying your sim card in another handset and seeing if u still have the same probs.
    good luck!

  • I have a new iPhone 5 and receive the following message when texting some people within my contacts.  Message sent using invalid number of digits please resend using 10 digit number or valid short code Msg:2114

    I have a new iPhone 5 and receive the following message when texting some people within my contacts.  Message sent using invalid number of digits please resend using 10 digit number or valid short code Msg:2114. Online I found a discussion that stated i needed to delete contact and re-add. I have done that to no avail. Any ideas?

    I had the same issue with the iPhone 6 and tried everything!  I now understand that at some point I stored a number for a contact without including the area code and sent a text message.  So, to correct the issue, you must literally "erase" all references to the contact, not just the number.  Deleting the contact and entering a new one is not enough because the iPhone stores references to that number in multiple places.  The steps below worked and are very simple:
    1) On the contact screen, delete everything stored for that number.  You can't just edit the contact to fix the problem, so write down or record the info somewhere before you complete this step.  Choose edit and then select DELETE to eliminate the entire contact which means home, work, cell, email address, etc.
    2) Delete the entire string of messages you sent to that number.  That's every single message...
    3) Now delete the entire string of invalid 2114 messages you received after your text(s) failed.
    4) Finaly, remove the contact from FAVORITES if you saved it that way. 
    5) To validate that all this worked, simply go to the keypad or contact screen and enter the number associated with the contact to verify successful removal.  I used the keypad and dialed to confirm.  If the contact number still shows up, you need to go back and recheck your steps.  Trust me, I had to do this a few times.
    Several posts suggested that you should  reset and turn off your phone.  After following these steps, it was not necessary for me to reset or turn off my device. 
    is there a much faster way to achieve the same results?  Probably, but this was safe for an iPhone novice and may help you avoid inadvertently deleting other contacts or replacing factory settings that you need.  

  • Unable to read SMS messages received on Xperia Arc

    Hi,
    I am unable to read SMS messages I have received on my Xperia Arc.  They arrive ok to my handset (as they appear in the notification bar) but when I go to open it up under Messaging they don't appear.  When I send messages they also don't appear in the conversation.
    I assume there is a related symptom to my problem, my Call Log doesn't get updated anymore.
    Any ideas?  I have looked at thread 28371 and seems similar problems but I did not drop my phone...
    I have installed avast! Mobile Security in case I have a virus but it comes up clean.
    Cheers, Paul.

    I agree with Slimshaddy's comment above. Make sure the time and date is set correctly on your phone. If you continue to have the problem, try resetting the phone and ensuring the time and date it set correctly before you receive any more messages.

    Skype iPhone 4 app shows that SMS message fails but still charges me. What's up with that?
    I find myself re-sending the same message and paying twice as much. Not good

    Hello HugoB,
    Thank you for your post.
    When you first send a mesage, the status should be shown as Sent. When we receive the delivery notification (Delivered or Failed) from the recipient's carrier, we will display it in your Skype client. However, if we do not receive any confirmation, we retry sending your message for up to 24 hours after which we will automatically refund you if a confirmation is still not received or if the message status from the operator indicates a failure.
    If message sending used to work but suddenly stopped, or if the status indicates Delivered but the message was not received, please read this post for how to help us fix your problem:

    Thanks!

  • TS5185 i have turned off imessage on my old iphone but still cant recieve text messages from other iphone users on my non-iphone device

    i am having a hard time recieving text messages from iphone users on my android device even after deactivating my old iphone and imessages. i dont know what else to do, apple is no help and want to charge me for assitance?!?!?!
    <Edited By Host>

    You can try the following on your friends phone:
    1.  Remove the contact card
    2. Then turn off iMessage and then back on again
    3. Go to Messages and compose a new message
    4. Press +.  This will make a list of recent contacts pop up.
    5. Click on the info button number of the contact you are trying to reach.
    6. Remove from Recents
    7. Try to compose another message
    8.  If the message attempts to send as blue (imessage), press on the message.
    9 Option to send as SMS will appear (as long as they have SMS turned on.
    10. Repeat and rinse.
    11. Messages will start changing over to all SMS as the user will show as non-imessage user.
    Hope this helps

  • Can I recieve sms messages on ipad?

    hello,
    I wanted to know if it's possible to recieve an sms message (and not an imessage) on both my iphone 4s AND my ipad 2. Both of those devices are running ios 8 but I do know that handoff (continuity)  is incompatible with both of those devices.
    So is it possible to do this even without continuity and if yes, how?
    Thanks in advance

    Yes. Apple Support article HT6337 lists all of the devices that are compatible with Continuity.
