Not receiving all SMS txt messages from other carriers
I've noticed that i'm not receiving some txt messages from what appears to be Verizon customers.... it happens during pockets of time. I have not been able to track the exact timeframes. is anyone else having sporadic issues receiving SMS from other carriers? i know of atleast 3 friends that have replied to messages from me that i never received the response.
I'm curious. Did you port your number from Verizon when you activated the iphone? I was having the same problem with not being able to receive text messages from my Verizon friends. It turns out Verizon didn't completely disable my number on their end even though the phone number was ported. It took someone from technical support at AT&T to call Verizon while was on the phone and explain the problem to Verizon. Verizon then disconnected my number on its end and it wasn't until then that I started receiving text messages from Verizon users.

I am not receiving all my txt messages, I think it is because in Setting -> messages -> send and receive, my cell phone number doesnt have a check next to hit. Im not able to check it. any ideas?
Old phone is off and number is fully ported? SIM card new and installed/seated properly? All Apple credentials disabled if coming from iPhone?

I'm not receiving all my text messages...
This has been going on for a few days now. I'll receive some texts but not all of them. Also, my fiance has to send a text multiple times in order for me to actually get it. We're both Verizon. I have a Samsung Illusion and he has an original EnV. Please help!
Sorry to hear you're not receiving all of your text messages alilbaby2013! I have a few questions to see where the issue may lie.
1) Are you using the native texting app or a downloaded one?
2) Does this only happen with your fiance, or is it other people too?
3) Do they come in delayed or not at all?
4) Please reprogram your phone by dialing *228 and choose option 1. Once it's done programming, restart the device. Have your fiance do the same thing and retest.
Keep us posted with any developments and let us know the results of your testing.
Thanks,

Cannot send/receive messages from other carriers...help!
Has anyone had this problem? If so, please help me out! I can send/receive text messages with other AT&T users but not with any other carriers.
Thanks!AT&T will have to fix this issue, same thing happens to me. I call AT&T and told them I can't send or recieve mms from some carriers, AT&T had to update my account somehow they said they use some 3rd party service to direct mms and mine needed a update, they said it takes 24 hours after they notify the other company... My mms is working now for all carriers. Give AT&T a call and they will fix it .

Yes, I already talked about this to my carrier. Do you think it doesn't have any problem with the phone?

I have an iPhone 4S which is a few months old and messaging has started playing up. My friends have been texting me and I'm not getting them all. Any suggestions why?
You might want to contact your carrier on this. They are responsible for routing your messages.

Can't receive text msgs from other carriers
My carrier is Verizon, and I'm able to receive text msgs from other Verizon carriers. But my problem is that I can't receive text messages from other carriers, such as Tmobile. They can receive my text messages though. I have tried restarting, shutting down and reopening the phone. I've tried calling support, and I logged a ticket. Any idea what to do?
Hello and welcome to the forums;
I would let Verizon follow up on the ticket you opened with them. Does the incoming text never show up at all? Were you ever a customer of another wireless company and either migrated to Verizon or bought out by Verizon (such as Alltel)? Were you able to get texts on your last phone or is this your first Verizon phone?
Let us know how the ticket goes,

My messages are not going through or coming in from other iOS devices. Having to send and receive in SMS. What is up? Anyone else having these issues?
There's an article that Apple has acknowledged this issue. They recommend turning off imessages, reset all settings and then reactivate imessages.
If that doesn't work, you may just have to wait until they release an update, which should be pretty soon. -
I have spent hours on the phone with Apple and AT&T. I went thought reset, on/off, etc, etc with both companies to no avail. Each company pointed fingers at the other....as being the source of the problem.
Problems: Suddenly ALL incoming calls were going directly to VM with no signal I missed calls and/or had VM. I was also unable to receive all Text Messages...Oddly, I could send text messages to anyone (even non-apple users but I could not receive their responses)........then I when I got home I started receiving text messages from other apples users ONLY. I assume now - iMessage kicked in and I could text (send/receive) other iPhone/iPad/iTouch users ONLY. ....yes, I could still (send) text messages to my husband's blackberry (he received my messages fine) but my phone would NOT receive his text respones.
Finally, I googled the problem and found this community where other people have had the exact same problems! One person said he "turned off 3 G" which was the solution for him....so I did the same and VIOLA! My problem solved! Nevermind the fact that I pay for 3G and cannot use it....so here's my question, if 3G is the problem on my phone is this an APPLE issue or a NETWORK problem? Do I purchase a new phone and slip in my same SIM card and hope the same does not occur or do I get a whole new SIM card and phone? What is the long term resolution to this problem?
I am happy however to find that my problem is NOT an isolated incident and wish Apple or AT&T had told me this is not so uncommon because I thought (based on the baffled response from Apple) that this has never occurred before. Where is Steve Jobs when we need him?jsavage9621,
It pains me to hear about your experience with the Home Phone Connect. This device usually works seamlessly and is a great alternative to a landline phone. It sounds like we've done our fair share of work on your account here. I'm going to go ahead and send you a Private Message so that we can access your account and review any open tickets for you. I look forward to speaking with you.

I replaced my iPhone with a Samsung Galaxy5 and I am not receiving all of my text messages now. The rep at the store told me to go to iTunes and take my phone # off of the account and that would fix the problem. Is that true? What does iTunes have to do with text messages anyway?
You need to remove your phone number from the iMessage system.

A friend and I text almost all the time. He used to receive all of my messages and one day, he text me, I responded and he didn't receive it. He still doesn't receive my texts but can receive other texts from everyone else. He sees me texts when he is on his computer through google voice but doesn't see my messages on his phone. How can we fix this issue?
Did he previously have an iPhone and now uses another type of phone?
If yes, he needs to read this:

I cannot send or receive text messages from other iPhone users. I don't get an error I just don't receive any messages and the other users do not receive mine.
Reset the devices: Hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go.

My husband and I both have Iphone 4's. I do not receive any text messages that he sends me. He gets mine though. He sends texts to other iphone users and they get them. I get text messages from other phones including iphones. Please help.
Both of yall need to go to settings, meassages, send and recieve, scroll down to start new conversation from, and make sure you have different email addresses with a check mark beside it. Right now sounds like they are the same email addresses.
