No sms after updating to iOS 6.1.2

Hi everyone,
I can't send text messages from my good old 3GS after installing iOS 6.1.2.
Of course I tried the simcard in another cellphone, works like a charm. I also tried another simcard in my 3GS (from another carrier, since it's an unlocked iPhone), it doesn't work either. In the messages settings there's just no other field but the iMessage. No settings for regular text messages whatsoever.
Please could someone help? Thank you.

thanks for the reply, I've done it already, many-many times.
In the settings->message there's nothing like this. First I had in the field 'send & receive' just email adresses, then I changed the language, and with that suddenly a phone number appeared in this field. But I still cannot send messages. than I changed back the simcard, rebooted, and the previous phone number disappeared, and currently there's nothing. let me show you:
So now what to do?

  • Interrupted by autofill while typing sms (after update to iOS 5.1)

    I noticed a problem on iPhone 3GS after update to iOS 5.1
    While writing an sms, the autofill interrups the writing with a small microbreak, causing loss of characters if you type fast enough.
    Very annoying and causes alot of erasing and retypes.
    Does not seem to be a problem on iPhone 4S though..
    Anyone else having these problems?

    Just a quick update on my issue... which seems different than most.  To summarize, I tried updating from iTunes 10.6 directedly via USB.  Got an empty progress bar when it "rebooted" after "successfully updating" to 5.1 with a memory allocation bar on itunes showing most the memory as allocated to "other", instead of the usual memory allocation to apps, music, pcits, etc.  Rebooted the phone, but still came up with an empty progress bar, but would connect to itunes.. showing booted as 5.1, but again the memory was still allocated to "other".  Started recovery process on itunes to try to bring back my old config, after which the iphone fully booted (into 5.1), but was completely.... recovered and re-installed all my apps, music, etc without a hitch and rebooted successfully, this time the memory allocation was correctly labeled, but somewhere I gained 2.0 GB of memory, even with all the same apps and music installed.  I had to do some minor additional configurations (password lock had to be re-enabled), but otherwise, everything was working.  A bunch of apps lost their stored settings... which I though strange as I expected the "backups" to store those settings as well.   Otherwise, running 5.1 now without issues... seems much snappier than 5.0.1... but the process was nerve racking to say the least.
    Best of luck with other "explorers" tyring to make the whole process work.

  • Can no longer use SMS after update to IOS 8.2

    what at happened with the update to SMS messages on the iPad?
    I was able to use SMS as well as iMessage on my iPad until I updated it to 8.2. Now I cannot use SMS at all. In settings -messages, there is no longer a toggle for "send as SMS" on/off as there used to be and as there still is on my iPhone after the update. There is also no longer a toggle for "MMS" Messaging nor Group messaging.
    As I said, my iPhone is fine after the update.

    IN your iPhone go to settings-messages-text mmessage forwarding. Tap on that and tap on the green toggle to turn it off.
    THen go go back out of setting and then go back in and repeat the steps again and turn that option to forward text messages back on.
    you will then get a message to put in a code that appears on your iPad. Look at your iPad and the message will be there with the code that you need to put in your phone.
    ENter er that code in your phone and it should work.
    THe he only thing is that I don't remember if I turned my phone off and then back on after I turned the setting off and then back on again before I turned that text forward setting back to on. So if the above does not work then try turning your phone off and then back on in between.
    I Hope this fixes it for you. Let me know!

  • IPhone 4 after updating to iOS 5.0.1 I can no longer send emails.

    iPhone 4 after updating to iOS 5.0.1 I can no longer send emails.  I get a message saying the recipients "email address" was rejected by the server.  Incoming still works fine.

    SMS is a carrier feature, what did your phone carrier say when you contacted them about your issue?
    Double check you have MMS turn on in message settings.

  • My iMessage and facetime is not working after updating to ios 7... My ipad works perfectly and it's the same apple id.  Any answers or reasons why on the iPhone 5 is not working???

    My iMessage and facetime is not working after updating to ios 7...
    Any answers on how to fix it?  I've tried to restart, restore connected to itunes, but nothing.

    ACTIVATING FACETIME AND IMESSAGES
    Activating Facetime and Imessages on your phone requires the ability to send SMS messages and depending upon where you are that might be an international SMS.  Check with your carrier to see if your plan supports sending of international SMS messages.  If you are having trouble activating Facetime or Imessages turn them both off on your device and reset the device (Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost)).  Wait for the device to restart and wait a minute and turn Facetime and imessage back on and wait for activation.  If that does not fix things read the following articles:

    Howdy syafiqahmad,
    If your iMessage and FaceTime still hasn't activated by now, I would recommend you use this specific section of the following article as long as you verify you've done all the other troubleshooting from it for this issue:
    If you get an error when trying to activate iMessage or FaceTime 
    If you're using an iPhone, contact your carrier to make sure that you can receive SMS messages.
    Contact Apple Support.

    Take care,

  • Message inbox having issues after updating to IOS 6.1

    After updating to IOS 6.1 my SMS inbox has gone crazy. Most of the SMSs have lost their date time stamp. The time of receipt of the SMS for all of them is showing as 9:18 AM, which was the time i took the update 6.1. Is anyone else facing the same issue.
    Why is it so that for the last few updates in IOS, it is always the SMS inbox that is having issues? From the last update, the inbox has been showing blank SMSs, and now we have all the messages in inbox with the same time stamp.
    Any idea how to rectify this issue ?

    i have already this problem ,  ios 6.1  iphone 4s
    is there anyone to report this bug to apple ?  
    i did anything what i found in internet ( reset, restore, cleaning dock , earphone, and... )
    , but still not working .... !

    Hi,
    I have exactly the same issue as everyone above. I only get sound through the slider on the ringtone in settings and through my headphones. I do not get any sound anywhere else at all.
    I Have tried:

    -going into general settings and reset all settings
    -the device reset several times (waiting until I saw the all important apple logo)
    -removing the last few apps I installed.
    Nothing at all has worked, please help!

    Iphone 4 personal Hotspot not working after update to IOS 7.1 India BSNL cellular

    BSNL is not a supported carrier. Personal Hotspot requires carrier support and provisioning of the account to enable it. iOS 7.1 disabled the ability to manually configure Personal Hotspot on unsupported carriers.

  • 3G is not working after updating to iOS 6.1

    My 3G connection is not working after updating to iOS 6.1. I have tried all possible solutions like resetting the network, restarting the phone etc.
    With this kind of bugs in every update, Apple will no more be THE Apple.
    There are bugs which have not been fixed even in the subsequent updates. SMSs going blank being one of them.
    Miss you Sir Jobs.....

    I have since managed to sort mine out - when the phone was updated it wiped out the network settings. 
    I was able to reset them by manually putting the information in:
    Settings - General - Cellular - Cellular Data Network and then I put in the correct details for APN, username and Password in the relevant sections and now it works OK.
    Hopefully it will work for others too

  • After update to IOS 6 on my Ipad2 it not possible to go to month view of March 2013 in the calendar app?

    after update to IOS 6 on my Ipad2 it not possible to go to month view of March 2013 in the calendar app?
    on my Ipone with IOS there is no problem
    is Apple aware of this problem?
    When will it be solved?

    Probably the app developers fault but then Apple needs to warn people about compatiblity of apps... I will add a review note to TOP 3 to warn people
    If it is an app compatibility issue - it IS the app developers responsibility to make sure that they update their apps in order to work with the new iOS. Apple owes no users a warning whatsoever. Common sense tells me that a very old app that has not been updated for the last two iOS updates just might not make the grade in the third iOS release since the app came out.
    I can't even find an App called Top 3 Solitaire in the U.S. App Store. Perhaps the app was so old and it hasn't been updated in so long so it was pulled from the App Store.

  • No more sound after update to IOS 8

    After updating to IOS 8 the ringtone, keyboard click etc.. doesn't function anymore.
    Earphone works alright.
    When rolling back to IOS 7.1.2 all works fine so I think I can rule out a
    hardware problem.
    I have checked/tried the following:
    -Mute bottom
    -Volume
    -DND function
    -turning off Bluetooth
    -turning off Wi-Fi
    -Checked airplay
    -cleaned connectors
    I already had this problems
    when I was trying the beta versions of IOS 8 and assumed that it was a beta
    bug. So I downgraded to IOS 7 in the hope that by the release of IOS8 it would have
    been solved. Apparently not...
    Anyone some ideas what I can do?

    Hello babichanjacob
    Change how it syncs by enabling Manually manage music and videos, then you can drag and drop the music that you want on your iPhone. Revert it back to test to see if that resolves the issue.
