No texts from non-iphone users

I can't receive text messages from non-iphone users, but they can receive my messages.  I can get their phone calls.  Can anyone help me out?  This started later today. 

Go to Settings>Messages and then make sure that Send as SMS, AND MMS Messaging is on. Some times it helps to have cellular data on as well. If this doesn't work, and it most likely is is a service problem. Contact them Immedality to get this fixed.

  • Can't receive SMS texts from non-iPhone users

    My phone suddenly stopped letting me receive texts from non iPhone users yesterday. Since then, I have powered my phone on and off, reset the network, and power cycle. My mother has been in the hospital and I have to be here with her all day. I have no time to go to a verizon store. I've only had the phone a week and I'm really disappointed with this. Seeing my mom is in the hospital, I really need this to be working, but I'd don't even know of something else to try.

        Ktoole, I can understand how frustrating this could be. How long has this been an issue? Have you ever been able to receive texts from non-iPhone users? Do you have iMessage on or off? Have you tried to restore the phone through iTunes?

  • HT201222 Cannot receive texts from non-iPhone users

    I have followed every instruction regarding text messages not being received.  Non-Apple users texts are not reaching me. 

    Contact your carrier. SMS/MMS messaging is a carrier feature.

  • IPhone can't send/receive photo texts from non-iPhone users

    I've noticed a lot of other people with this same problem and so far nobody has a solution. I've tried resetting my iPhone 4 and was on the phone for an hour with AT&T last night to see if it was a problem on their end as someone else had mentioned. Nope. Basically, I can't receive any photos through text messaging (MMS) and I can't send any photos through text messaging with anyone who doesn't have an iphone. I used to be able to. Not anymore. Doesn't matter if I'm on wi-fi or cellular. I've checked to make sure I've got MMS on. I do. I've reset network settings, we've even switched radio towers to try that. Nothing.
    Can someone help?

    I'm with AT&T IOS 6 and have no issue with MMS.
    if that link doesn't help, call AT&T back and talk to a supervisor, as messaging is carrier related.  Also make sure you have MMS turned on.

  • Does imessage charge money for texting to non-iphone users?

    how about if its receiving an international text from non-iphone users?

    You'd have to ask your network provider if there is any charge for receiving text messages. I know in the US some networks used to charge (I don't know if they do anymore), but in Europe you don't get charged to receive SMS.

  • If only using wifi, will I still receive text messages and calls from non iPhone users?

  • Can't receive text messages from other iphone users but can receive them from non-iphone users

    I had to recently reinstall mavericks to my MacBook and suddenly I haven't been able to receive text messages from iphone users on my iphone.  I can send them but not receive them.  Recently I was able to receive a text from an iphone user who turned off his imessages before he texted me.  That came through. Of course, this would be difficult to ask every iphone user i know to turn off imessages in order text me.  I've also tried to turn off my imessage on my macbook, iphone and ipad and still can't receive them.  Lastly, I've also tried resetting my networking settings and that didn't help either.  Any suggestions???

    I am having the same problem minus the fact that I don't have a Mac computer I just can't receive any messages from iPhone users and I can't turn my iMessage back on at all it keeps just turning it off every time I try to turn it on. any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • What is the trick to getting Handoff and texting to non-iPhone users to work?

    Hi all,
    I recently upgraded to Mavericks and for the life of me I can't get Handoff or the ability to text to non-iPhone users to work. These are two of the main reasons why I upgraded.
    When I try to text through iMessages to a non-iPhone user it says that I have to register the number. Not sure what that means. I have tried a variety of things from other posts for Handoff but haven't been successful. These involve resetting the network settings on the iPhone, turning on and off iCloud, pairing the iPhone with the Mac (not sure if that is required is it?), turning on and off Bluetooth, ensuring that both devices are on the same network, and turning on and off Handoff.
    I am using a late 2012 MacBook Pro and an iPhone 5s.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Ed

    Not sure where I need to look in Messages for my number. It is in Messages/Preferences/Accounts
    Yes. Messages > Preferences > Accounts > select your iMessage account.
    Is your iPhone number listed in the You can be reached at section and the Start new conversations from dropdown?
    Not sure about the relay setting. How do I go about setting that up?
    After I set everything up when I opened Messages it asked if I wanted to relay SMS and sent a verification code to my iPhone that I then had to enter in the prompt on the Mac.

  • TS2755 Texts from other iphone users not coming through while roaming.

    I am roaming daily in the US.  Ever since I upgraded to ios 7 my phone won't receive any texts from other iphone users unless I am on wifi.  Texts do come through from non-iphone users.  I do have cellular data shut off while roaming (I don't want to be charged roaming fees for facebook notifications, emails, etc.) but this never stopped texts from arriving before updating.  I pay $20 a month to text from the US and want to be able to utilize this feature!  Any suggestions? 

    Settings -> Messages --> see what is checked for receiving messages
    Does your iPad have 3G/4G?
    If not then most likely the messages are going to your Apple ID email
    You can uncheck that and just leave your number checked
    It should then come to your phone

  • Iphone won't send texts to non-iphone users

    I woke up this morning and my iphone 4s will no longer send texts to non-iphone users.  I checked my SMS settings and they are fine.  I reset my network settings.  I restarted my phone.  Nothing is working.  I don't know how to fix this.  I can send imessages just fine.

    I checked my SMS settings and they are fine.
    The ONLY SMS settings is: Settings > Messages > Sends as SMS > ON.  Is that what you mean?
    Did you contact your carrier to confirm that SMS is still provisioned in your account?

  • IMessage is blocking texts from other iphone users

    I am not able to send or receive texts from other iphone users because of imessage.  I am ready to quit Apple and ATT because of it.  Both my wife and the manager of my business can no longer contact me because of the bugs in iMessage.  I don't care whether the message shows up as blue or green, I simply want to send or receive them.  First, their numbers only showed up as phone numbers instead of contacts.  Then I added them as Iphone users and now I can't send or receive messages with them.  I've tried deleting and adding and then deleting their numbers.  Rebooting works for a bit.  If they don't fix this bug, I'm quitting iPhone.  Seriously. 

    If you'd like to calm down and actually ask a coherent question, we'll consider it.
    Since you don't actually make any attempt to describe what the circumstances are or what happens when you try to send or when someone sends you a message, we can't offer much assistance.
