Not able to send texts at all on new S4

I just received my new Galaxy S4 and I am unable to send texts messages at all. I tried rebooting, clearing my messaging cache and everything else on the phone is connecting (web, phone, facebook, etc). Any suggestions?

I too am having this problem.  I cannot send texts; first noticed today 10/29; last text successfully sent 10/28 6:37pm.
Over the weekend I got a S4 update from Verizon.
I have tried to send to different people and get "failed" message. I have received a text message from one of these people.
When sending a text message that fails: Button with red "!" appears to left of message and "failed" appears under message in lower right corner.  Message bubble is gray (normally appears blue). When "!" button is pushed it tries to resend and fails again.
Have tried sending message to self and this fails too.
Have had this S4 since August and it worked properly. Never had an iphone.
Please advise

  • TS2755 I am not able to send text messages to one particular person.  Error comes back to enter a valid 10-digit phone number.

    I am not able to send text messages to one particular person.  Error comes back to enter a valid 10-digit phone number or short code.  I have deleted this contact and re-entered numerous times and still get the same error code.  Any ideas?

    Are you entering a 10 digit number? Or, if it is not a North American number or you are not in North America, are you entering "+" followed by the country code and number?

  • Not able to send text to one person.

    My mother-in-law is able to send a text to her husband, my wife, and me but she is not able to send a text to her other daughter. We tried reseting the iphone and deleting her daughter's phone number from her iphone.  My sister-in-law was able to receive text from everyone else except my mother-in-law.  We all have an iphone 4 except my sister-in-law.  Does anybody have a solution I could try?  Thanks.....

    Thanks for the response Allan.  There is not a red dot next to the text.  It looked like it was sent successfully.I was thinking that it my be my sister-in-law's phone too but she is able to receive everybody else text except my mother-in-law.  If it had something to do with her carrier (AT & T), it would be strange that it will work for everyone except one person. I will suggest to her to call AT & T.

  • Text Messages are being sent as email only to another vzw user. Not able to send text to a mobile device?

    I am on a Galaxy S4. Sending text as usually, recipient gets an email of the text. Is is my settings or theirs? What needs to be changed?

    Are you entering their name from your contact list to send the text?  Or typing in their phone number?  The email may be what's being populated by default when you pull their name from the contact list, if that's how they have replied to you previously, or how you sent your last message to them. Try manually typing in their phone number in the To: field and see if it sends as a text or as an email when you do that.

  • Not able to send pictures at all-

    I have an ihone 4S and have until recently been able to send pictures to orher phones (email works!).  I have checked with my phone comany and they have reset everything they can.  I have reset py iPhone.  Nothing seems to work.
    This is what happens: I want to send a picture by MMS.  The phne starts to upload the picture, and after a few seconds interrupts and I get this red exlamation mark and message "delivery failed".
    I really need your help!

    I reset the MMS proxy, which the telephone company hadn't done, in spite of what the told me they had done, and now it works fine again.
    One may wonder for what reason they get their salary…

    Hi waqaskhan91,
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you're not able to send text or iMessages to certain contacts after updating your iPhone, start with the troubleshooting tips in this article:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages - Apple Support
    If you only see this behavior with a few contacts, you may want to try these steps first:
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and recreate the contact from the Contacts app. Send a new message to the contact.
    Best Regards,
    Jeremy

  • Not able to send emails via Mail anymore !?!?

    Very bizarre : since yesterday night, we are not able to send emails from all of our 3 accounts !?!?!? When we are sending an email Mail always ask us to enter our password. If not Mail says that we should choose another server to send our email but then after it keep asking us our password and the message always stay in my sending box ? Is there a way to solve that problem ?
    Thanks in advance

    Greetings,
    That sounds like a Mail issue (not iCal). You may get better response if you post in the Mail forum here:

  • TS2755 I am not able to send pictures to one of my contacts. I can for all others.

    I am not able to send pictures to one of my contacts. I can for all others. Can someone explain why that could be happening?

    Perhaps that recipient does not have MMS texting as part of their cell service.  They may only have SMS texting which does not support pictures.

    I am having the same issue with my daughters phones.  I believe its an issue with Pantech.  My daughter has a Pantech Crux and is able to make calls, receive calls, and send text messages but she is not able to receive any messages.  My other daughter has a Pantech Hotshot and is having the exact same issue. We contacted Verizon and went through all of the troubleshooting necessary and even reset the phone and it still didn't work.  Verizon sent out a replacement phone today (Crux) and the issue is still not resolved.  This tells me it's an issue with Pantech... maybe a software update was done?? Both of my daughters are teenagers and mainly communicate through text messaging, so I am sure anyone can understand that they are in crisis LOL.  Any suggestions on what to do next?

  • My wife and I share the same email address and Apple ID.  We are not able to send and receive Text Messages to one another.

    My wife and I share the same email address and Apple ID. We are not able to send and receive Text Messages to one another. Is the cause of this because we share the same Apple ID? Will we have to set up 2 separate primary email addresses to be able to  send and receive Tex Messages to one another? Like I said, we share the same email address and woul like to keep it that way to keep up with our email together. Is there a way to by-pass having to set up 2 primary emaill addresses if this is the problem?
    Thanks.

    go to the settings and turn off imessage
    but that don't change the issue that you will never be able to facetime eachtoher
    the appleID is really meant as the handle that identify you it was not meant to be shared
    but can see that people may want to do not buy apps more then once

  • TS2755 Ever since I updated my iphone 4 to 5.1.1, I am not able to send more than one picture at a time in a text message. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Ever since I updated my iphone 4 to 5.1.1, I am not able to send more than one picture at a time in a text message. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Yes, I know the photos stored on the device... But which app are you accessing the photos with? Which app do you want to be able to highlight more than one pic at a time in?
    There are literally thosands of apps that access the iOS Photo Library - which one(s) are you using?

    Is there a way to send a message with a photo attached using imessages. I am not able to send a photo to one of my contacts because I am sending the contact a message text messages. I don't want to send contacts text messages. I want to send them iMessages.

    Kolyei, sorry for the late reply.
    Have your brother create a contact in his phone for himself. Inside his own contact, have him add his phone number and his iCloud address.
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive Have your brother select both his phone number and email addresses where he would like to receive iMessages.

  • I am all of a sudden not able to send emails out from my outlook account on my iPhone.  Any suggestions?

    I am not able to send emails out from my outlook account on my iPhone 4s.  This feature has been working fine for 2 years and all of a sudden decided not to work.  I was able to receive emails but not send out.  I tried deleting the outlook account and recreating it but now I can't even recreate it.  It tells me it cannot verify my account information.  The interesting thing is that the account works fine on my PC, so I know my login info is correct.  Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks
