Outgoing text messages are often undeliverable.

I'm having issues with outgoing text messages being undeliverable.  Is this an iPhone problem or a carrier problem?  Most of my texts go to people who have the same carrier as me.  I have an iPhone 4s.

  • My outgoing text messages are received as voicemail messages with iOS5... WHY?

    I just upgraded my iPhone4 to the iOS5. Now whenever I send texts to my husbands iPhone4, they are received as voicemails not text messages. Why is that and how can I fix it?? When I went through the setup questions on my iPhone after the update, I just kept my iPhone under hubby's appleID instead of changing it to my own appleID. Should I delete his appleID from my phone and put my appleID on instead? Never had this problem with the previous OS...

    May have fixed this but not sure how. I'm not sure if it was a problem associated with the iOS5 upgrade or having two iPhones with the same appleID.

  • How Text Messages Are Stored on Palm Centro and possible recovery

    I come from an extensive IT and programming background with emphasise on databases.  I need some high level understanding of the text messaging system on a Plam Centro system with ATT.
    Questions are related to Recoverying Deleted Text Messages
    1.  Do all incoming and outgoing messages get written to the messages_database.pdf on a Plam Centro (ATT)?
    2.  When a message is deleted, would it be correct to say that the message is not physically deleted but just that a record pointer in the database (messages_database.pdb) is reset so the messages appears to be deleted?
    Why I ask, is that I see a many many requests for people (myself included) of wanting to recover deleted text messages. (i.e. my 16 daughter will not email now becuase we check email but she does text unknown people constantly and it makes it very hard to keep her safe).  When she syncs her phone with her computer, the messages_database.pdb file is in the backup directory and if you open it with a text editor (notepad.exe) you can see only messages that have not beeen deleted.  She usually deletes all her text messages.  There is A LOT of extra data that appears to be encrypted and is not readable.
    Is it possible that the text messages are there but just that the database record pointers hve been reset OR are Plam text messages written to RAM some how; although that does seem to be the case, since when you sync, the messages_database.pdb files has any and all messages that have not deleted.
    It woul be VERY valuable (and I think profitable) if someone very high level knowledge of the messages_database.pdb file could write a PC application that would alloow you to undelete the text messages.  I know there are programs out there that can do this on SIM cards on systems that write the text messages to the sSIM card, but it is my understanding that messages are not stored on the SIM card but in RAM.
    Can any high level technical Palm programmer shed some light on this for me and let me know if there is a way to recovery deleted Text Messages on a Palm Centro?
    Much Apreciated,
    Greg
    Post relates to: Centro (AT&T)

     I    had the same problem.
    1.Search for a program call filez.prc (give your address I can send you) copy it to a memorycard. btw [email protected]
    2. Copy it to the palm device(it works on any)  activate the program on the palm chk rom at the top and chk all message database and smstxt and also some have 0000behind em.  note the sizes as the older ones are larger and copy them to the card.
    3. to view em use microsoft word and use recover txt from any file I think it is called. You will be able to see detail but be careful as it sometime displays truncated or mixed but you will be able to see most txt clearly. 

  • I got a new iPhone 5S and now my text messages are showing up on my iPad now, how do I stop them from showing up on my iPad?

    I just switched from a iPhone 4S to iPhone 5S and now my text messages are showing up on my iPad as well as my phone. How to I turn this feature off and just keep them on my phone?

    This is for imessage - go to settings - message - send&receive and start a new convo - remove or uncheck the apple id.

    MetsFanGirl,
    Thanks for verifying. Are you having issues receiving both iMessages and standard text messages when they are sent when the phone is turned off? Try this and test... http://vz.to/1qjiOs7

  • Is there any way to change the default font for outgoing text-messages, in "Messages"? (OSX 10.10)

    Is there any way to change the default font for outgoing text-messages, in "Messages"?
    I can change it for one conversation, but then it resets to the default, tiny font.
    The preferences menu only lets me change the conversation font.
    (OSX 10.10)

    Hi,
    As you may remember there used to be a Messages pane to the Preferences where the Font and colour of the Balloons or background and the Font text colour could be changed.
    And there was a Format Menu for character, word and Sentence changes in the current IM or iMessage.
    Those have gone in Yosemite's version of Messages (Despite it retaining the designation of Messages 8 the same as Mavericks' version).
    All that can be done now is set the size of the font and this has been moved to the General Section of the Preferences.
    The Yosemite version has also been fixed to using the Balloons style of send and receiving any type of messages as well.
    Changing the Font would involved editing the Balloon.transcript file.

  • My sent text messages are received, but are from my email address rather than my phone number since updating to iOS 7.

    Fellow iPhone users have complained that my text messages are not longer associated with my phone number. Instead, they see my texts messages as from my email address.
    The problem started after I updated to iOS 7. How can I resolve this? I would rather not continue to confuse friends/family when they receive a text message from an email address they do not recognize when it was in fact sent from my phone.
    Thank you.

    Thank you!
    I think it's odd that the default setting is now your email rather than your phone, however... Very confusing for me and other iPhone users I know.

  • I have the iPhone 4 and just updated to iOS 6 and all my text messages are gone. Can I get them back?

    I have the iphone 4 and just updated to iOS 6 and all my text messages are gone. Can I get them back?

    Group messaging simply puts all replies in one conversation in Messages.   It doesn't prevent the behavior you experienced.
    My suggestion which would be much easier in my opinion, is rather than do a text, send out an email and use bcc: , which will keep the audience hidden from each recipient.
    Otherwise, if you're determinted to do only texts, the only way is to send your message to one person at a time.   You can of course copy/paste your msg each time which might be helpful.

  • Since upgrading to iOS7 some text messages are not being sent, iMessage on my Ipad and MacBook doesn't have my phone number registered and my reminder colour on my Iphone keeps changing ... among other things

    Since upgrading to iOS7 some text messages are not being sent on my iPhone 5, iMessage on my Ipads and MacBook doesn't have my phone number registered and my reminder colour on my Iphone keeps changing ... among other things. Any suggestions to fix these faults?

    Make sure People Sending you via iMessage are sending their messages on your PHONE number not on your EMAIL addresses . My sister had the same problem, thats how i managed to solve it!

  • My text messages are not being delivered

    MY text messages are not being delivered. Keep coming back with the red saying "Not Delivered". Anyone know why this all of a sudden started happening and how to fix it?

    Thank You Meg St._Clair contacted my carrier and fixed the problem on my iPhone 6 but still an issue on my iPad mini  
    Carrier could not fix the problem so said I would have to plug my iPad into my Mac and back it up and then restore factory settings        
    Havent done any of that yet!

  • After updating to iOS7 my text messages are gone. How can I fix this?

    After updating to iOS7 and restoring my phone from backup, my text messages are still gone. How can I fix this?  Right before I updated to iOS7 I backed up my phone.  After the update was complete, my phone had none of my information on it so I restored it from back up which says "Restoring from backup will not change the firmware, but will restore pictures, contacts, calendars, text messages, etc."  So I am confused as to why it isn't working.  I tried twice and everything came back except text messages.  This isn't the first time I've had this happen after updating my phone but I'm tired of dealing with this issue.  Can anyone tell me how to get my text messages back or what I did wrong?

    Have you also asked in the Adobe forums?  To have people read your post, best not to include long crash reports until asked to do so.

  • The images in my text messages are disappearing.

    The images in my text messages are disappearing.  Some I've sent and some I've received.  Some are weeks and weeks old, some just a couple days.  I'm using iPhone 6Plus with 8.0.2.  Any ideas what's happening here?
    Regards, John

    I have the same condition on my iPhone only. I also have an iPad, a Macbook Air and an iMac that share the same iCloud account. Messages with photos seem to work fine on all devices except my iPhone.  All of a sudden all the photos in my iPhone message streams have disappeared and been replace by question mark placeholders. I rebooted all devices, shut down messages, and rebooted, restarted, with no luck. Very bizarre and extremely frustrating. Any suggestions?

  • HT4528 old text messages are being deleted automatically

    my old text messages are being deleted automatically but this seems to only happen with one contact. Has anyone experienced/fixed this?

    If you had pop and now want to use imap you need to create another (new) email account in Mail.
    When you start creating a new account, press the option key when you click the Continue button and you will be given the choice of creating the account for pop or imap.
