No message alert on iphone 4

2 big issues since downloading ios 7.. And their update after the first release.  Sporadically, I cannot send messages, they just say "sending" and never sends.  After restarting my phone, I open messages, and they're all gone.  I close the message app, and they're all back, and I am able to send.  I took my phone to apple, who claims it is a network issue.  Then I took it to verizon, but they said it was an apple issue since ios 7 should not be on the iphone 4.  Got me nowhere.
So today started the most significant problem.  I am getting NO alert whatsoever when I receive messages, not even a badge on the app icon.  I do not know I have a text until I actually open "messages," as if to send a message.  I checked all my setting, they're all correct, and I do not have "do not disturb" activated either.  All other types of alerts work fine.  This is incredibly frustrating.  If anyone can give some insight to these issues, please help.  Thank you.

Hi jabXhook,
So it sounds as if you have already done much of the troubleshooting that is suggested for the issue of getting a "No SIM" error message. There are just a few more you may want to try. See this article -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

    Did you remove your account information from the other person's iPhone?

  • IPhone 3GS making random text message alerts but no message received

    Since yesterday morning my iPhone 3GS (running iOS 4.2) has started randomly making the text message alert noise but no new message has been received. I've also go no other new push notifications which could have been using the same sound either. At the moment it's about 2-3 of these bizare alerts a day with no set pattern of when and where.
    Any ideas what could be the problem and how to fix it?
    Thanks

    This sounds very much like a physical fault inside the phone - short or loose component. You really have no option but to get it looked at under warranty

  • Since updating my iphone 4 to IOS5 my message alert tone is distorted

    since updating my iphone 4 with IOS5 my message alert tone (tri tone) is distorted it was fine before the update

    Since updating my Iphone 4s to the iOS 6, i am now having to charge my phone at least three times a day, whereas before I did the update, I would charge it at night before bed and it would stay charged the whole day.

  • I can't find the new text message alerts for every person - help!

    Hi.
    As I frequently check the Apple website, I visited the iOS 4.2 download site. It said that you get custom text tones and 17 new sounds.
    So I updated to get the new things. But then I checked Settings to see the new alerts and what they sounded like. But I only found the same old Tri-tone, glass, horn, etc. There were no new ones.
    So I checked Phone, but there was no custom text message alert option.
    Am I the only one experiencing this problem? I have an 8 month old iPhone 3GS and it works great.
    I am also suspecting that it could be an iPhone 4-only deal.Which would be ridiculous because I would be really upset to see that Apple only cares about the people who cash in their hard-earned bucks on every new Apple gizmo they set eyes on.
    Please help! Thanks in advance

    I understand that it has been answered and has been said that it is for the iPhone 4 only; however, on their website it does not specify that, this is exactly what it states:
    "Messaging with text tones
    Know who’s texting without looking at your screen. Choose from 17 new alerts and assign custom tones for people in your contact list.
    iPhone only."
    If I am not mistaken, "iPhone only" includes every iPhone generation to which 4.2 can be installed in, not just the iPhone 4. If it is in case for the 4 only, then they should have specified and not made a misleading advertisement about it since every iPhone user has been waiting for new tones of any sort since the first iPhone ever came out. Making it available for only iPhone 4 users is a very fowl move from Apple since it's such a basic thing to the phone itself. They should address the issue correctly and make it available for the 3G and 3GS.
    Apple just asked for angry customers with this one and they definitely know it's not fair.

  • Personalized txt message alerts based on who is sending it?

    Is there anyway on the Iphone to set different text message alerts based on who is sending the text? I am a sysadmin and currently I have our servers sending txt message alerts to my corp phone. I'd like set it to send to my iphone with the caveat of giving a different alert sound then other text messages sent by other people.
    I just got my iphone yesterday, so please forgive me if there is an easy solution.

    In short, no. You can change ring tones for various people however; no individual group alerts.

  • Message alert / screen state

    New to iPhone - I know you now get message alerts even if the phone is locked, but is there any kind of alert if the screen is off?
    so the screen power goes off/power save and unless I press something I still don't know there is a message/call etc?
    Thanks

    When an alert first comes in, it will light-up the screen and display it.  Then your screen will go back off a short time later.  When the screen is off, you are correct that you won't see the alerts until you hit a button to light the screen up again, but when the alert comes it, it does turn the screen on for a short time, so you can still see it when it comes in.

  • How can I turn off  messge "Show Preview" and "Repeat Alert" on iPhone 3G?

    How do I turn off the messge "Show Preview" and "Repeat Alert" on iPhone 3G? I switched them both to Off, turned phone off/on, but the envelope icon and the message alert still pop up as soon as a message arrives. I need the privacy of not having the person sitting next to me seeing that I just got a message from "Bob."

    Well, the iPhone will always alert you when you receive a text message. If you don't want the phone to show "Bob's name" then put "None of your business" in the name for all your contacts so that when you get a text, the person sitting next to you and staring at your screen will see "None of your business" instead of the real name of the sender. Other than teaching the people around you to be polite and not read your phone screen unless invited to do so by you, there is little else you can do.

  • Changing message alert tone?

    OK, I want to customise my message alert tone to a sound that I want - not one of the defaults that the phone offers. Is there anyway to do this without jail-breaking? Considering this is an integral feature that has been part of phone's that were created back in the stone age, I'd find it ludicrous that this isn't plausible with the iPhone, considering that we're now up to the fourth model it surely should have been something that's been considered.

    "OK, I want to customise my message alert tone to a sound that I want "
    Not a feature of iphone.
    Sorry.

  • Message alert tones

    Morning.
    I want to define my own message alert tone. How can I do that? I've learned, it is possible to create my own ring tones. But I do not find an approach to modify the list of predefined alert »melodies« given by Apple. But all of Apple's sounds are very obtrusively. Instead of that, I want to have a very reluctant »toc-toc« or something like that. But how can I install such sound on my iPhone?
    TIA and kind regards, Friedrich

    for some reason apple absolutely refuses to give us this option... people have been submitting feedback since the iPhone was launched in 2007 and all they did this past update or two ago is add a bunch more of there own tones instead of giving us the ability
    make sure you leave feedback

  • Message Alert tone/ringtone stopped working?

    My iPhone's message alert tone/ringtone has stopped working. My iphone4 firmware has been upgraded
    to 5.1.1.  i've also reset the phone, but it didn't resolve the issue.  Pls. Help... thanks...

    My alerts sounds work briefly after a restart. Then at some point (can't say how much time passes with certainty) they no longer work. The volume adjustment sound is gone as well as the alert sounds such as an incoming mail message.
    A restart temporarily returns the sounds. I've zapped PRAM but that doesn't solve the problem.
