Outgoing Texts Appear to be sent but are not received

Two days ago, I started having this problem with my Fascinate. Well, specifically around 3:00 p.m. on 5/10/11. I sent a text to my son (he's on my Verizon account) at 2:57 that he received, but nothing after that.
I first noticed the problem yesterday morning (the 11th). I was surprised that I hadn't gotten a reply to a couple of texts that I sent late on the 10th, so I went to send that contact another text and saw that the previous messages had a timestamp of the current time and date. I've since discovered that ALL text messages I've sent after that successful one at 2:57 p.m. on 5/10 will display the current date/time when viewed in the normal conversation screen. If I click on the individual message, it does display the correct date/time that it was sent.
There is no indication that the text did not go through. It's not a carrier to carrier problem - I can't text my children who are on my same account. I'm not texting to the wrong number - I'm using my Contacts list, and the texts that have not been received are showing up in the conversation screen. I did upgrade to FroYo, but that was a couple of weeks ago, and I've been able to text successfully since then. I can RECEIVE texts just fine.
Has anyone else had this problem? Have you been able to resolve it?

I had this problem for the 1st time in March. Sent text late on a Friday night to friends & husband. Didn't give it a thought until Sat afternoon when I text a friend to ask what time I was to pick her up & never got a reply. Needless to say 1+1 was 2 and I figured out none of my text had gone through. I powered my phone off & then back on, dropped my daughter off and then picked up my friend. I wuold say about 20 min after I turned the phone on & off and as she is sitting next to me her phone is blowing up with text messages. All out of order & not making sense of course. This has happened a few times since. Most recently was Friday when I was texting my husband during the day. He never got the texts, I again powered on & then off. I just got a new fascinate about 3 weeks ago because my 1st one had some weird pixel thing happen to the screen but it only showed on my camera screen & in the pictures so they replaced it for me. So its now happened to me on 2 fascinates, and with family on my plan & friends with other carriers. But I have found that simply powering the phone off & on again does seem to "push" the messages through.

  • Updated to iOS 5 and now photos sent with text message show as sent, but are not received to an iPhone that has not been updated.

    Updated  to iOS 5 and tried sending a message with a phot to an iPhone that has not been updated. My message shows as sent, but neither the text or photo are received. Text alone works fine.

    This is being caused by using the same Apple ID for iMessage.  To fix this you have two choices:
    On all but one of the phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID.  Note: you can still share the same ID for purchasing in Settings>iTunes & App Stores; or
    On all of the phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and uncheck the email address(es) shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at".

  • This relates to an earlier question I asked:  I have an iPhone and can send messages to a galaxy phone but the person cannot receive them; however, I can send them and it sounds like they are sent, but are not received.  I can get them from a galaxy.

    This relates to an earlier question I asked:  I have an iPhone and can send messages to a galaxy, but the person cannot receive them; however, I can receive messages from the galaxy.  I have only had an iPhone so the problem does not relate to a change in phones.  Up until about 1month ago I could send to the galaxy and they could be read.  Help!

  • Emails in sent box appear to have been sent, but are never received

    I have an intermittent problem which is causing me no end of trouble for my business. Since about November last year, it seems that a certain percentage of my iCloud emails are never delivered to the recipient. There is nothing to identify failed messages -- they appear in my Sent box normally and as far as I can tell have been delivered normally. Some of them have been "new" messages, starting a new thread (which I suppose may possibly be trapped by someone's spam filter) but the majority are replies to another email, which I think are very unlikely to have been filtered as spam. I believe the people telling me that my emails have simply never arrived in their inbox at all. Messages with attachments and without attachments both fail. I am using the standard Apple mail client on my iMac.
    This only happens with my Apple email account -- although to be fair I send much more email through that account so it is not necessarily a fair comparison. It is nothing to do with Apple filters for obscenity -- there is nothing at all objectionable in the emails that appear to be failing. Most of them are very standard business communications.
    Has anyone found a solution to this problem? I wonder if I need to BCC myself on every message to see that it has come through (and even then, would that prove that all recipients received the message?)
    Many thanks to anyone who can help

  • Sent items are not received...

    Hello community...
    Seeking some help on a strange problem. I constructed an email over a few days, then sent it to a number of people, and none of them received it. So I resent. Same result. So I forwarded it to myself as a test - a few days ago and it's still not appeared in my alternative email inbox.
    I have tried:
    - forwarding the email
    - replying all and changing the addrees
    - copy/paste into a few email and starting over
    This email refuses to go to any reciptient. Each time, the email DOES appear in my sent items, as though it has gone quite happily. Neither myself or my friends has any postmaster deivery failure messages or suchlike.
    (I got around the problem by copying/pasting into my gmail account and sending from there.)
    Any clue?
    Thanks
    Adrian

    Dear Riaz,
    Thanks for your suggestion. I checked but DNS is working fine. we have two ADDC and both are syncing properly. I also tried to see any wrong entries but could not found. repadmin /syncall works without error on both ADDC. We are facing this issue few time
    a day for users. i.e. if a user's sends email to another user. 10 times it'll reach normaly while one time it wouldn't go. similarly if somebody from outside send's email to our user who is added as a contact in our AD domain but works outside office, his
    email some times rejected by exchange server with the same error
    "The domain name in the email address is incorrect. Check the address.
    554 5.4.4 SMTPSEND.DNS.NonExistentDomain; nonexistent domain".
    while he is using the same domain which our internal user's are using (as smtp addres).
    I have a doubt on our broadband internet as we changed it a few days before with a different ISP and after that it started happening.
    Although I checked the ISP router, it's firewall settings etc etc but everything looks fine.

  • Why do my devices say they are connected to my wi-fi signal through airport but are not receiving internet?

    i have a mac running 10.7.4 lion and use airport to access the internet... I just purchased a ipad3 so i figured i would set up a wi-fi signal for it. So i created a network, the signal strength is great but the light next to the wi-fi signal while in network settings is amber. The light on the actual airport router is green. So i connected my ipad to the signal and thought everything was fine, but when i tried to use the internet on the ipad, it tells me its not connected to the internet eventhough it says its connected to the signal. please help asap.

    Configuration is simple IF you start from a factory default condition.  Then connect the Airport to AC power and to the Internet modem (or modem/router, whichever the case may be).  Open Airport Express on your Mac or other computer, locate the Airport, and accept all of the recommendations.  After confirming that it works, insert your desired administrative and WiFi passwords.

  • E-mail typed lines appear full when sent but upon reply they are broken into one or two words per line.

    Why do my e-mail messages to people appear to have full lines when I send them but when they reply, the "full lines" are broken up with one word on a
    single line?

    Dear Friends,
    E-mail messages sent, are received not in the paragraph-form as sent, but are broken-up into small segments, one line finely printed, the next line may appear with two or three words printed on it, then the next line will show a few words at the end of it, while the next line appears as the start of another paragraph, and so on and on and on. So that the original message, although sent in the one paragraph-form, winds up being received as several paragraphs, each broken up into several segments. My contacting Apple has produced no solution thus far. I am new at this computer
    business and would greatly appreciate any help you can give me on this score. Thanking you in advance for your interest and kind help.
    Yours Truly,
    Broduff.

  • Using Verizon Messaging and people are not receiving my texts NOR am I receiving texts that were sent to me!  Went to old iphone and disabled imessaging but still not working. I'm a big texter for personal and business and am ready to go back to iPhone. 

    Just got the Samsung Galaxy s5 and am very frustrated that I am not receiving text messages that were supposedly sent to me.  Also, it says 'sent' but it is never delivered.  Or it might get delivered but mine still just shows being sent.  I re-started that phone and disabled my texting on my old iphone as some have suggested.  I'm ready to go back to the iphone just because of this issue.  Please fix this Verizon!

    I'll tell you it is some marketing coup that a problem Apple has created and has control over is being passed off on Verizon.
    This problem is the result of you migrating from iMessage, a messaging platform controlled completely by Apple, back to a more mainstream messaging system of SMS/MMS. Verizon has no control over other iPhones "thinking" you are still using iMessage. NOTHING Verizon can do will fix this problem.
    Try texting the word "stop" to 48369. Others have reported this has worked. Doing this should de-register your number with the iMessage system. You should receive a confirmation reply. It may take a day or 2 for other iPhones to completely register that your number is no longer associated with iMessage. You can also try calling Apple support and let them know you are not receiving messages from iPhone users after switching to an android phone from an iPhone.

  • Entourage 2000 - sent emails are not appearing in "sent items" folder

    I am using Entourage 200 with POP account. I have the preference for "save copies of sent messages in the Sent Items folder" clicked since I install it a year ago. But a couple of days ago, all my sent emails have vanished. Even new emails I compose and sent out are not appearing in the "sent items" folder. I did hit "option" when openning the program and everything verify ok. Any help would be greatly appreciate.

    Since this is the Mail & Address Book - Tiger discussions/forum for Apple's Mail and Address Book applications, you probably won't get much help here with your question.
    What is the size of your Entourage database file? Entourage uses a single large database to store all application data and I believe Entourage X has a 4 GB database size limit.
    Does hit the option key when launching Entourage perform the database rebuild function? If not, do a search with Entourage help with "rebuild" for instructions.

  • Fire fox is crashing as well as "sent" mails are not opening, all of a sudden, continue & cancel will appear, sometimes copy & paste is not working

    -The system has crashed/closed on it's own. Have had to put the pc off to get the system started again, yesterday, the hotmail was not opening either, once it opened after some time, other times I had to open Mozilla again.
    -Some of the "sent" emails are not opening for me to check what I've written.
    - After I've opened my hot mail account, the continue & cancel signs will appear again.

    As the day progressed, all other files quit being able to save to the desktop.  As I tried to diagnose the issue, I went through the Repair Disk in Disk Utilities and was told by that program to close and use the disk repair from Recovery HD (CMD + R upon reboot).  I did that and was eventually told the HDD was too far gone to repair.  I reformatted and restored from Time Machine following the instructions given.  All is good now after 24 hours of work.  I have no idea what happened but I'm not feeling real safe about my mac today.  I have an SSD on order.

  • Since update of my MAC my Notes no longer appear on my Mac but are still available through iCloud on my iPhone and iPad. How do I get my MAC to sync with the other devices as e'thing else has synced on my MAC through iCloud.

    Since update of my Mac Book Pro my previously drafted Notes no longer appear on my Mac but are still available through iCloud on my iPhone and iPad. How do I get my Mac to sync with the other devices as e'thing else has synced on my MAC through iCloud. Also since the update Notes no longer appear as a folder in "Mail" but are now a distinct programme-is there any way of returning Notes to the Mail programme?

    Thanks, but I've been on the phone with AppleCare US (where I am and live) and AppleCare UK. They continue bouncing me back and forth without helping resolve the problem.
    Perhaps someones knows how to further escalate the issue at Apple?

  • Can't accept BBM invitations and Invites sent show as "Pending for Authorization" but recipients are not receiving them either (PIN Message Status : Service Blocked)

    I recenly changed device from BB Curve 8530 to BB Bold 9900 and ever since then can't accept BBM invitations and Invites sent shows only as "Pending for Authorization" but recipients are not receiving them either. Tried sending PIN messages  but  I got a red x next to the message and the status says: "Service Blocked" .
    When my phone got lost, I was lucky that I just synchronized my device to my BB Desktop. Not only was I able to retrieve my contacts (phonebooks and BBM) but also ALL txt msgs and even call logs
    Anway, that happening, I assumed I don't need to re-send all my BBM friends invites since some were able to communicate with me. But for those who have deleted my profile (knowing it got lost) and were still on my contact were the ones affected. I tried deleting them and sent an invite only to find out that: I can't accept BBM invitations and Invites sent shows as "Pending for Authorization" but recipients are not receiving any. (they also have the same pending for authorization notice on their end) 
    When I tried to send them a PIN message I get a red x next to the message nd get the service blocked message.
    Help I do not know what else to do.
    ** FYI: new contacts added with my new PIN have no prob sending invites and me accepting them all.

  • TS3899 My verizon account is fine but Emails are not showing up in my Inbox on I phone. I get message that the downloaded but are not appearing in Inbox

    My verizon account shows that messages have downloaded but are not apearing in my inbox to be read?

    Try turning the account off and on : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
    If that doesn't work then try closing the Mail app completely : from the home screen (i.e.not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    Also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Mail 3, smtp, IMAP: sent messages are not saved on server

    Hello,
    I had problems using Mail 3 after I upgraded to Leopard, so I used Thunderbird for the time being. With the update 10.5.1 I tried again: most problems solved BUT: sent messages are not saved on the server in mailbox "Sent".
    Some background: I deleted the folder "<User>/Library/Mail" and "<User>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist" and configured Mail from scratch.
    To be sure: I still have Thunderbird installed, and when I send with Thunderbird: a copy is placed in "Sent".
    Another thing I noticed: it takes more than a minute to send from Mail 3 and a few seconds when I send from Thunderbird. I have another Macbook Pro with 10.5.0 installed: same problem with sending.
    Any help is appreciated.
    rene

    Well, be stumped I did all that, but to be sure, I did it again:
    I have a lot folders with subfolders and they are shown under my account name.
    I created a new folder "test" in my IMAP account and designated it to be the new "Sent" folder. It replaces my previous Sent folder in the group Inbox, Drafts, Trash. My previous Sent folder now appears under my account name as a "normal" folder.
    I send a message and the Activity monitor says: +"Delivering message: copying message"+. After a minute Mail is done. I check my (new) "Sent" folder and it's empty. I double check in webmail: it's empty.
    So I go to the Finder and look in my IMAP folder: <user>/Library/Mail/<IMAP-account>/test.imapmbox and there is no folder "Messages", only Info.plist.
    Then I try to move a message to the "Sent' folder: for a minute the Activity moinor says: Copying messages: copying message" and then Mail prompts: +"The message "testing" could not be+
    +The connection to the server mail.hicetnunc.nl on port 143 timed out"+.
    So it looks like Mail has a problem with the default "Sent" folder: it cannot copy messages to that folder at all! Aha!
    But then I try to move a message to a "normal" IMAP folder: same thing! Mail cannot copy to any folder!
    In both instances Mail says: +"The message "..." could not be be moved to the mailbox "..."+
    +The connection to the server mail.hicetnunc.nl on port 143 timed out"+
    Last thing: I try to move a message to a folder in the same account again. But in the process I quit Mail. I open Mail again and Mail is performing pending operations: copying message. After a while Mail prompts: +"Operation could not be completed. (MFMessageErrorDomain error 1028.)"+ and crashes... I open Mail again and it tries to peform pending operations. Again: an error message and Mail crashes. This keeps going on so I delete the whole account and set it up again. Nothing's changed...
    I can receive and send, but sent messages are not copied to the "Sent" folder and I cannot move messages around within a IMAP account. But TADA!!!: I can move messages from account to account.
