Not Receiving Text (SMS) Messages (On Rogers Network)

I have recently been experiencing trouble with my iPhone 4s. I would send text messages, however, the recipient would receive them, text me back and I would not get their texts back. After a few days or so, I would receive all the texts I did not receive in bulks. This has happened a few times already. My friends/family members who own a Blackberry have been receiving a notification that there is network congestion. (However, iPhone or Android users do not receive the same notification). No one I know is experiencing the same problem as I am.
I am on the Rogers network, texting phones (Blackberrys, iPhones, Androids) on the Fido, Rogers, Telus and Bell networks.
Is this a network problem or a phone problem?

I am having the exact problem - also a Rogers Customer with an iPhone 4S.   The rest of my family have Blackberrys (on Rogers, and Koodo).    When they text or BBM each other they each receive each others messages immediately.    When I try to text them, most times they receive the text after a delay which can be several minutes or up to a few hours.   Oddly, when they respond to the text, I receive the response immediately.
I believe this to be a hardware related issue, and am trying to isolate when it happens.    BTW - I get a similar problem with email - where it will not send and eventually goes to the outbox.    I have to resend and sometimes have to disconnect from the network (by turning on Airplane Mode) then re-connect before the emails get sent.
BTW, I am not running IOS 6 yet because I do not want to lose Google maps.   Running - 5.1.1

Contacts not receiving text/sms from VZW iPhone 5

So, I switched from Att and everything is working great except for a few sms not getting through. My Friend is on the Viaero networka nd has a SG3. Sometimes they get them and most of the time they dont. Ive called VZW and they blame att and the imessage.. Ive turned imessage on and off and it still doesn't work. Anyone else havign this issue or know of a fix?
thanks

iMessage has nothing to do with SMS. SMS is exchanged over the carrier's cellular network only - the same network as calls. "Dumb"phones or phones not in the smart phone category that don't have internet access via the carrier's cellular data or internet network can exchange SMS.
If an SMS is successfully sent, what happens to the message after that has nothing to do with the cell phone that sent the message.
Are the problem SMS not successfuly sent, or is there an red indicator on the message indicating it was not sent?

IPhone5 will send but not receive Text messages

IPhone5 will send but not receive Text messages. Specifically, I can send my grown son text messages, but he can not reply to them, nor can he send me new texts. He and I are both on Verizon, and he has a Droid phone. His texts can be recieved by his mother, who can forward them successfully to me. When I initally received the phone (Dec 2012) I could receive and send texts with my son with no difficulty. The trouble began (as near as I can tell) when my phone was upgraded to 6.1.1. This is a significant problem and I would like it resolved as soon as possible.

Scouter, let's get you reconnected with your son, via text message. Make sure that your text messaging feature is enabled in Settings>Messaging:
enable iMessage ON
enable "Send as SMS" to ON
MMS Messaging ON
You will also need to reset the network connections in:
Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network
Finally, power cycle your phone off/on and try to send your son a text message. Keep us posted. We're here to help you.

LG Revolution not receiving text messages from iphone user

I am not receiving text messages from iphone user, sporatically. The messages are showing as reveived on Verizon website in usage detail, but not being received on my phone.

This issue needs fixed asap! I have a few suggestions that should help you get this resolved. If they are showing up in the usage details, that means they are hitting the Verizon network, but for some reason they are not showing up on the phone. I recommend clearing the cache from your messaging/text messaging programs. Go to settings> applications> manage apps> all> Messaging/Text Messaging> Force Stop/Clear Cache/Clear Data. Erase the old text threads that you have saved and retry.
If that doesn't work, please let us know the following:
1) Do they come in delayed or not at all?
2) Do you have any 3rd party messaging apps installed?
3) Do they have any problems receiving messages from you?
4) When they're sending messages, are they directly to you, or do you have this problem when the iPhone user sends to a group of people?
Thanks for the additional info! I'm sure we can find a fix.

Yes I have turned imessage off a number of times and that does not seem to he doing the trick, and it is not delivering them then I have to press on the photo and either chose try again or send as text message, I have had the setting on to not allow sending pictures as texts (so they can only send as imessage) since I got my phone in January and it has always worked until now, I have turned that off to allow me to send them as picture messages now but it's still not working over iMessage, I have also tried it using 3G and not wifi

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.

Thunderbolt is not receiving text messages

I recently purchased a thunderbolt, approximately a month and a half ago. It was working completely fine until about a week ago, when I started having issues with not receiving text messages. It can be resolved by resetting the phone, but there's no way to know whether or not I need to do that unless I'm in the middle of a text conversation and I suddenly stop receiving messages. I know my messages are going out because I can still communicate through facebook and other non SMS or MMS applications, and all other functions work properly, but this happens once or twice a day, and is extremely frustrating.

I'm having the same problem. My Thunderbolt is a refurb I received when my first Thunderbolt died this past fall. I never had any SMS/MMS issues until very late February. The problem is that I cannot receive any text messages. Sending messages works fine, but I cannot receive any. If my wife sends me a message, her phone will say it goes through, but I get nothing on my end. This was a huge problem when I went 4-5 days without receiving any texts since I didn't know I wasn't receiving the messages.
The problem resolves itself when I reboot/restart the phone, but I don't want to have to reboot my phone every night. The most recent time, I went 2 days without any texting problems before the "can't receive" issue came back.
My Thunderbolt is STOCK (radio, ROM, etc.). I have no 3rd-party texting apps -- I'm using the stock messaging app.

I CAN NOT RECEIVE TEXT MESSAGES FROM PEOPLE USING IMESSAGE

On an iPhone your iMessages will go to your phone number.
You can select another email to use on iPod or iPad.
Go to settings
Messages
Send and receive
Check your phone number and uncheck the common Apple ID you share so your messages will not go to other devices.

All of a sudden I can not receive text messages on my MOTOX. Does anyone know how to solve this problem. I can send them, but can't receive them.

My MOTO X was working fine, then all of a sudden, I can not receive text messages. I have checked the settings and they look correct to me, and I have done everything the web site recommends, except wiping the phone and starting over, to try and fix it. Has anyone else had this issue, and how did you resolve it?
Thanks so much.

That's strange that your Moto X wont receive any text. Thank you for trouble shooting the issue. Let's see what's going on! Does your device have any physical or liquid damage? Does anyone else have an issue with calling or texting? What zip code are you in?

I have been having issues with not receiving texts and voicemails daily, for a few months now. If I turn the phone completely off, when I turn it back on the messages will flood in from hours before. I can't be continually turning off my phone in case someone left me a message. How do I resolve this issue?

Wifi: my Cell phone will remember 10 wifi connections. So delete any you don't use often and your home wifi and try to enter home wifi again.
if it still won't connect to home wifi, call your internet provider for help. You may need a newer router or different settings Or upgraded service. Your phone seeks the best connection and will refuse lesser connections.
last resort. Backup the phone. Do a full reset, then restore as new with the backup.
if still not fixed, go back to apple and insist on repair or replacement.
HOWEVER. voicemail is not a wifi issue, it's a carrier function, which is why the SIM card is a suspect.
