Not receiving IPhone 4s text messages to S4

I upgraded my iphone 4s to a Galaxy S4 this past Saturday. I already knew I was going to have an issue with sending and receiving text messages, so I made sure I turned off my IMessage and turned off my phone when I traded in my phone.
One of my friends has a Iphone 4s, she texted me yesterday and it went through but she send she had to deliver it twice because the first time it didn't deliver. She was trying to text me this morning and it's not delivering to me again. Is this a Iphone of S4 problem? Can you help me fix this either way?! HELP!
Also I know other people that have IPhones and I am able to receive their messages. Thanks!

I have the same problem. I switched from a Verizon iPhone 4 to a Samsung Galaxy 4S in October. This is what I have done so far:
Visited two Verizon stores who both said "It's an Apple problem, not a Verizon problem." -- very unhelpful
Searched multiple forums where people are discussing this problem. I've followed every single lead I could find.
Reset my old iPhone 4 to factory settings -- lost ALL data
Changed my Apple id.
Erased my iPhone from the Apple cloud.
Made sure my family and friends with iPhones have my number listed as "mobile" not "iPhone" in their contacts
But I am still unable to get messages from other people's iPhones.
HELP!!!

My Revolution Not Receiving The Whole Text Message

Hello, lately I have been having a problem receiving the whole text message. People with smart phones text sometimes page length texts. I have no problem sending out page length text, but when someone sends me one, from many different companies and phone types, I only receive what the phone recognizes as the first part of the text message.
An Example is:
"Hello, I was wondering what you are doing later. I was thinking we could go to the shopping later at the mall. Do you ha"
I primary text people so when I do not receive the whole text it is very frustrating.

It's lies that you haven't received any other complaints on this issue. 1) because I have called repeatedly on this exact issue among many others with this phone and 2) here are some of about a dozen posts on this:

granted some are recent, but if you search your forums you will see plenty.
You used to and still state that you never hear of any of the many issues with this phone, including when it would randomly reboot. Same phrase, "we have yet to hear of other cases with this device." Bull...
I too will be heavily considering leaving Verizon after over 10 years of being a customer not due to an LG phone sucking this bad, but your company's repeated refusal to acknowledge our concerns and treat us like we are ******.
Like your master reset phrase above. So you think that computing devices need a fresh start anytime something goes wrong is just not correct. If that were the case every time I have fragments between nodes in a clustered server environment I'm supposed to factory reset them?! NO, you debug it and get it working correctly! This issue is fragmenting withing your sms/mms delivery system, so fix it! As a sysadmin for a scientific super computing institute I guarantee I know more about computing devices than you ever will, and I can say your workarounds are asinine and only prolong your customer's issues with a clearly defective device.
As with this, although not your manufactured device, it is something you sell and therefore you debug these issues across your network or give those of us that can the ability to do so, but alas another locked boot loader and if we were to root the device to mitigate these issues then we screw our self by trying to help our self. It's always our fault, as we must have done something wrong.

IPhone 5S not intermittently not receiving or sending text messages

My new IPhone 5S is frustrating me. Sometimes I am not receiving Imessages from others using Verizon IPhones - they have to retry and eventually they send the message as regular text. Sometimes when I IMessage these people, I too, get a "not delivered" error and must send as text. I just received my IPhone end of February and am seeing this occur a frequently
Also contacts on Androids from other carriers sometimes have the same issue occur - they do not receive my text messages or I do not receive theirs. Not all the time but intermittently. Can someone please tell me how to correct this. I have cold started the phone numerous times.
This is very aggravating!

The first thing to do is contact your carrier and make sure your account is provisioned properly.

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.

You might want to contact your carrier on this. They are responsible for routing your messages.

HT3529 My wife and I both have an iphone. We initially created it under her apple id. We will receive each others text messages from certain people not all. Any ideas why and what we can do to stop it

My wife and I both have an iphone. We initially set them up under one apple id account. When we text sometimes we will receive each others text messages from others. Example I will text a friend...she will not see my text but the reply comes to both of us. It seems to be random which ones. Any ideas how to correct this

Yup, get your own AppleID.
The messages that are being sent to both phones are technically not text, they are Apple's iMessage. They use the data part, not the texting part. So if you have an iPad or a Mac computer, you can send/receive the iMessages there too.

IPhone 4 iOS 5.0.1 stops receiving calls and text messages

Hi all,
My iPhone 4 (iOS 5.0.1) suddenly stopped receiving calls and text messages. However, I'm still able to send them.
The workaround for fixing this issue is to make an hard reset to the iPhone.
This only occured with 5.0.1 version. It's very annoying because I'm not able to know if it's working or not (I can only suppose that it's not working when I'm a long period without receiving calls/messages)
Do you know how to solve this ?
Thanks in advance!

First, who really cares what you do? I certainly don't, and I doubt the vast majority of users on this forum don't either. Ridiculous statements like that just make you look stupid.
Second, this is a user to user technical support forum. I saw a lot of whine here, not a question. What is your technical support question?

Have been told if you use the same itunes account with two iphone you will receive each others text messages, is this true

Have been told if you use the same itunes account on two iphones, you will receive each others text messages, is this true?

you can use the same itunes id for purchases and so on, but have separate icloud id's for imessaging and all the icloud stuff. it's not preferable, but it isn't a problem either.

I cant receive photos with text messages on my iphone 4s

I cant receive photos with text messages on my iphone 4s. Do I need to change a setting on the phone?

If you scroll up and don't see that button, then there are no more messages to see.
Here's a sample image I found on Google that shows the button.

New Samsung Notebook 3 not receiving iphone users messages?

I was told I have to go into my apple account to set it up so i can receive messages from other iphone users? How do I do this?

You have to turn off iMessage in your old iPhone if you still have it in Settings > Messages. If you don't have the phone anymore you can try deleting your previous threads with iPhone users, and if that doesn't work you can call 1800MYAPPLE and they can help you disable your iMessage account so that you can start getting those iPhone user text messages.

TS2755 keep receiving the same text message multiple times, at the same time of the night. How can I stop this?Thabnks

Hi
I keep on receiving the same text message multiple times and at around the same time each night. Any idea how I can stop this happening? The text messages are originating from to separate Saudi Arabian mobile numbers. Both these people are listed in my contacts so do you think if I delete their names it might stop the texts coming htrough each night?
Cheers

Deleting the people from your contacts will not stop the messages. Have you tried talking to the people and finding out if they're sending you messages? You could try contacting your carrier and finding out what blocking services they offer. However, theat would block all messages from those people.
