Not receiving messages from one contact

After updating my iPhone 5 to ios8, i haven't been receiving iMessages from one of my contacts in either group messages or individual messages. He has an iPhone 4 with ios7 and can see the messages i send him but when he sends a message back I do not receive it. I tried restarting my phone, turning iMessage on and off, and resetting my network connections and nothing has helped. Any ideas?

Hi i had the exact same problem with my phone on the same day and its still like it how did you fix it? thanks

IPhone 4 occasionally not receiving messages from one iPhone 4s

My iPhone 4 Verizon 16 GB is occasionally not recieving messages from my friend's iPhone 4s Verizon 16GB occaisionally for no good reason that I can find.
I have HEAVY experience with iOS and many iDevices, so I can say that I know my way around an iPhone a bit, thats why this is really confusing me, I have tried doing a full factory reset of my iPhone and that didnt help either.
I don't pay for 3G since i use Page Plus Cellular, so when i leave WiFi it switches to text instead of iMessage, her iPhone is the only one that when she replies to my texts occaisionally I will not ever get them. it's getting very annoying once I haven't gotten a reply in a half hour to just send a text saying "resend" all the time... Any solutions would be greatly appreciated!

HI Friend,
Try to unsign and sign in again.
For FaceTime and iMessage chosse to use your email address instead of your mobile number.
Go to Settings>>Message>>Send&Receive and set your email address.
If it is still not working, unsign your Apple ID and select your mobile number ("+" "country code" "mobile number").
Turn off Show Subject in Settings>>Message
Reset the Network Setting, which makes your phone to forget every networks and passwords that you connected your phone to.
to reset the Network Settings just go to Settings - General - Reset (at the bottom) - Reset Network Settings.
I remember when I reset the Network Settings, i turned off iMessages. I connected to my home Wi-Fi and surfed the web for a little while. Sent some regular SMS messages, and about 10min later, I turned on iMessages again and sent a text to a friend with an iPhone and it started working as iMessage! Baloons finally became blue.
Go to www.apple.com or Settings>>iCloud then access your Apple ID. There you can edit your information, placing your phone number and tap OK. then go to iMessage settings and mark your phone number to receive iMessages.
Also check in: Settings>>Message if you turned on iMessage before. Here, turn off "Show Subject Field".
Change your address for your currently location. If not works, change it for your native country.
Did you turn on iCloud as well?

Blackberry Messenger: Cannot receive message from one contact only

I have been using Blackberry messenger since a few months ago. It has been working fine until 3 weeks ago that it stopped working with only one of my contacts:
I message with my friend every day and out of the blue one day I can't receive any messages from him anymore, and all the messages I send to him would only turn to "d" status even he's read them already (and he'd appear as away on my contact list with a little clock next to the smiley... messages never turn to "R").
My handheld is on a BES and his isn't. I am in the US and he is in Europe. Not sure if that's the reason... but I have other contacts that are either on or not on the same BES and there's no problem with them. He also has contacts that are in the US as well and doesn't have any problem with them either...
We have tried battery pull, shortening name, deleting and re-adding and no luck.
Can any one please help? Thanks!

Welcome Tiramisucat; I have the same problem and a few others share your frustration. There is one BB user who reported today that he finally fixed his problem with the assistance of RIM. You can read about his experience in the following thread BlackBerry Support Community Forums : Smartphones : BlackBerry 8300 Series Smartphone - BlackBerry Curve : Re: PENDING blackberry messenger contact.

Not receiving messages from one person

They can recieve my messages but I don't get there's? Everyone else I've text there hasn't been a problem. I've checked whether it's interference with iMessage and it hasn't been, anyone have ideas?

Hello diamondteardrop1,
I understand text is an important form of communication. I have a few questions to ask to help narrow the resolution. Have you ever received text from this person in the past? If so, when did this begin? Can you send text to this person? Has the other person observed any trouble with other people not receiving their text? If so, we may need to troubleshoot their phone. To address your device first you can attempt this troubleshooting step. Delete that person's contact information and the text thread (all conversations with this person in your text inbox) and re-add the contact and try a test text from the user. Please respond if this was successful and or if you need any additional assistance. Please include the answers to the above questions as well. Thank you.

Not receiving texts from iPhone contacts when I'm not connected to wifi or cell data. I can't send and receive regular SMS texts with non iMessage users but iMessage users message are not being converted to text when I don't have internet connect

I can send and receive to any non iPhone user. I can send a message as a text to an iPhone user but if I'm not connected to cellular data or wifi I do not receive messages from iPhone contacts. From what I understand these message should automatically send to me as texts instead of iMessages but since the update it's not functioning properly. Please help. I've tried turning iMessage off and I still don't receive the messages until after I reconnect to wifi.

I have the same problem! Before the upgrade, if I wasn't connected to the internet, any messages sent to me from an iphone would convert automatically to a text message. I have payg tarriff, so I turn cell data off, as it costs too much to use it. I have wifi at home and work, but if I'm out and about, I don't receive texts from iphone users until I'm on wifi. I get them ok from non iphone users. There was never any problem until ios7

please help... what is happening!!!!

Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app. I am certain other applications also need this information. Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information. Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.

Recently started not receiving texts from one person - AT&T user, also HTC One

I recently started not receiving texts from one person. He also has an HTC One (older model) but has AT&T as his provider. We were texting back and forth last Friday morning (11/8) and then he called me and ever since then I have not received a single text he has sent. He is receiving all of mine and we can receive phone calls back and forth, but his text messages are not coming through. We have both tried restarting our phones and I have also tried deleting him as a contact and recreating it however nothing works. I checked to make sure he was not blocked (which I knew wasn't the case since I could receive phone calls from him as well), and even tried turning the "block contact" on and back off. Any solutions would be greatly appreciated. Right now we are using work arounds with google-talk and facebook messenger but it's very frustrated for me to not receive any of the texts that his phone is saying I am receiving.
It had started sporadically over the past few weeks where I would miss a text from him every once in awhile, but now I am receiving nothing. He is the only one that I am having this issue with as I have texted back and forth with multiple others the past few days with no issues.
Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi! I'm also having the same problem. I have an iphone 5 & one person (who also has an iphone 5 but has AT&T as a provider). We had been able to send & receive phone calls & texts until mid-November. Now, we can both give & receive phone calls from each other and she receives my texts, however, I DON"T receive hers. In fact, if I'm in a group text message with her, I don't receive any of the texts that include her, even though I can give/receive texts individually from the others in the group message. The other two in the group message CAN receive both her texts & mine. This is so strange - I was left out of a whole thread of text messages & none of us knew it. They thought they were including me (nothing bounced back) & I didn't know I wasn't receiving them. Since her texting works with both of the others, I'm concluding the problem must be with my phone. Do I have an incorrect setting? I'm not sure what could have happened. PLEASE help!

Not receiving texts from one number

As of Saturday, between the time of 4:00pm and 4:30, my phone decided to not receive texts from one number, which is an AT&T number. It was working before, and ever since then, it hasnt been able to receive texts from said number or send them to the number. I havent been able to get texts from the number either, and we both dont know why.
The thing is, I am getting texts perfectly fine from everyone else that I usually text.
I cant figure out if the number is blocked, because I am not the main owner of the family plan that I am on.

Hello haruharasanako,
It's strange that you are having text imessaging issues with one contact. I use text messaging all the time and I am here to help! Do you have issues sending or receiving text messages to anyone else? Can you send and receive picture messages from this contact? Are you using a 3rd party messaging app? If so, please uninstall and trying using the stock messaging app. Which device are you using? Did you make sure the account owner didn't have this number blocked? Did the contact check with AT&T to see if your number is blocked? Please answer these questions so I can resolve this issue for you.
Thanks,

Contact your carrier... and have her contact hers. Assuming they are SMS/MMS messages, that is. SMS and MMS are carrier features. Note that MMS messaging requires a cellular data connection.

Not receiving email from one domain

Hi,
I am running Exchange 2003 on Windows Server 2003 SP2 and suddenly starting having the problem of not receiving mail from one domain. All other domains seem to be fine, although seem slower to receive mail than normal. The sender of the domain in question does not receive any NDR or bounce back error messages, so they are none the wiser the mail has come through. I have checked the junk/spam, I don't have any filters which could be blocking the domain.
Any ideas??
Thanks

Hi,
Please enable the protocol log on SMTP virtual server to check whether the remote domain has attempted to connect to your exchange server to send email to you.
If the remote domain has attempted to connect to your exchange server, please check whether the message is received by the SMTP server. If the message has been received, please use the message tracking log or queue viewer to check whether the message stuck on the server.
If the message is rejected, you can use protocol log to gather further information.
If the remote domain does not attempt to connect to your exchange server, I think you need to work with the remote domain admin regarding the issue as other domains are able to send email to you with no problem.

I cannot receive texts from one contact after updating to the iOS7 system - why?

I cannot receive texts from one contact after updating to the iOS7 system - why?

amyhs, thanks for those details. This is certainly quite odd that this has been going on so long and we definitely want to get to the bottom of this. Now, you stated that you have reached out to technical support and spoke with a tier two technical support representative. At this time, what actions or troubleshooting steps were taken? Are you aware if a ticket with our network technicians was ever created? As well, have you ever previously had an iPhone and are you aware if the users that are unable to message you are using iMessage?

Ios8 not receiving messages from a member of a group message

I have a recurring group message with some of my friends. When I updated to iOS8 I stopped receiving messages from one of the members of the group, but everyone else is still receiving them. When I text just that group member though, I receive her messages. How do I fix that?

You have both gone into your iMessage settings and made certain that the phone numbers are correct as well as your Apple ID, and email address?

Not receiving emails from one specific domain

Hi,
I'm having problems with not receiving emails from one specific domain @youmail.dk. It hasn't been an issue earlier, but I stopped receiving the emails late last year. For all I know this is the only domain there's a problem with - I don't have any problems with any other random domain.
There is no rules or anything like that set up, so I have no idea what the problem could be... There's no "failure to deliver" notification send to the sender either.
It doesn't matter if I check iCloud online, on my MacBook or iPhone...
Can anyone help me?
Nina.

Comcast Security Assurance manages email system security and should be able to help you with this. Call them at 1-888-565-4329 (from http://constantguard.comcast.net/dedicated-support/). They will probably want to know the IP address(es) and/or host name(s) of the sending email server(s).
The first-line reps at CSA are sometimes not so helpful. If so, be persistent, and keep at them until you get a satisfactory answer.

Why does My iPhone crashe whenever i receive a message from one contact?

My iPhone has lately started doing something weird. Whenever I receive a message on whatsapp from one contact. The phones screen sometimes goes black and the apple logo will pop up and then ask for my pass code like i have just turned in on. But the thing is that the message that my friend sent is not even in the chat history and he has to send it again. Why does it do this? It's really irritating me now.

Cannot receive messages from one person only...

My friend and I both have iphone 4s (with iOS 6.1.3). One day i stopped receiving messages from her. I can still receive an iMessage from her (but since neither one of us has data that is dependent on internet availability) but regular text messages won't come through. She can receive regular messages from me. I can receive regular messages from everyone else (including other iphone users). I don't know what happened. I have tried multiple suggestions i found online (including deleting and readding her contact, she did same, restarted phones, typed number manually, typing number twice etc.) but none of them work. If anyone could help it would be much appreciated!!

I'm having a similar problem. I can receive texts from this one person but he cannot receive mine. I can also not call him but he can call me. He uses A T&T but does not have this problem when texting other verizon users. I have an Iphone 4S and he has an Iphone 5. This has been happening for 3 days. I have tried resetting the networks, restarting my phone, and checking blocked contacts. Nothing is helping with the issue.
