If yes, contact your carrier.

My phone won't send iMessages

My phone won't send iMessages and I'm connected to wifi and I have data. Everything is connected and set up properly with my Apple ID through my phone. What do I do? Also, I'm recieving my mothers text messages through my phone because she is using my iCloud account, how can we fix that?

Try turning it off and on again, that usually works for me.
I'm having problems with iMessage on my Mac, so there might be a problem with Apple's iMessage servers.

4S phone won't make are take calls

Contact your carrier.

Why won't my iPad won't send messages?

My iPad2 won't send message to person I just received from. The send button is blue but not active. When I try to send to send a new message to another person their name is red marked with ! and the send button is gray. It won't accept any new name - alwayas in red with !.

Figured it out. The iPad message box has two lines. The first says "Subject" in gray. If you type something into the "Subject" line, but don't type anything on the next line (which is for the message), the send button remains inactive. Try typing the message on the second line. Send button then becomes active.
Now why couldn't Apple tell us that?

My phone will not send or receive calls

My phone will not send or receive calls; it goes straight to voicemail and when I try to send a call, it will not connect. I have reset, rebooted, and tried just about everything. Any other suggestions?

What did your carrier say when you contacted them and reported the problem?

New iPhone won't send texts/make calls

I broke my iPhone 5s a week ago, so I called *228 to put my number on an old iPhone 4 that my friend had so that I had a phone to use while I waited for my new one to come. My new phone is here and i have all my contacts on it as well as my apps, but it won't send text messages or make calls. I can't even call *228. I was wondering what I need to do so that this new phone is associated with my number again. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Restart the phone by holding down the top/power button and the Home button at the same time until the device restarts.
Log on to your My Verizon account and select "Activate Device".

HELP! Iphone won't send messages AT ALL!

I have a iPhone 4 and I it was a hand me down from a relative. She had it for a couple years and now I have had it for about a year. I had the battery replaced once because it was completely dead and drained and caused my iPhone to not work.
I have recently ran into a another problem which just started yesterday. My messages whether its text or imessage will not send. It's actually quite a bit of problems. It will not show that it sent for me it just says "sending..." but a few of them will reach its destination and I'll get a reponse from a friend or family member. But it will still be "Sending..." also if I close the app all my messages will completely disappear
I also if I make a call or someone calls me they can't hear me.
I have done everything possible. I have reset it, reset network settings, have done a complete restore and it still is having the same problem. I have no idea what to do especially since I don't have internet connection at home.
Has this happened to anyone else?

I'm referring to imessage and SMS text. I've never had a problem before with sending without internet connection. I have Verizon and this problem has never happened.
And I'm not sure if this is coming off right but imessage or sms will just say "sending..." it won't say that it sent or even delievered. I can recieve messages from other people but they are delayed and don't come in on time. I tested my phone with a friend who was next to me and sent her a message and she recieved my message but on my phone it still said "sending..."
Any type of message I send says sending... also if I close my message app ALL my messages disappear they just delete and the message app is blank. My phone was working just fine on Jan. 21st but yesterday when I tried to text my boss it wouldn't send but he continued texting me.
At the moment I'm at a friend's connected to wifi and did a restore and the problem is still happening. I can access apps and internet connection is fine over wifi or using my 3G.
Also when I try to answer or make a call I can hear them but they can't hear me.
Whatever the problem is it's only effecting my send/recieve of messages and calls. Whether its over wifi or just 3G

I can't send messages or call people with my NEW iPhone 4s.

Hello.
I live in Sweden and I ordered my iPhone 4s some days ago, I got it on Wednesday.
Ever since I got it I noticed that I was having problems with my carrier, "Tele2". I can't send messages or even make calls, and I'm very disappointed. And I also can't connect to the 3G network at times, it just goes away, and this always leads to a reboot.
I have to restart my phone every 5 minutes, and THEN I can send about 1-2 messages, then it goes back to what it was before. Crap.
And I also called the people on "Tele2" they said that they don't know if it's the software or if it's the hardware. And that I simply have to wait until they know.
I'm just wondering. Is there anyone out there who's heard anything about solving any problems like these? Perhaps and update to 5.0.1 ? Please let me know, I would appreciate it very much!

They said that it wasn't them, they contacted Apple and they were aware of the problem. But still Apple didn't know if it was hardware of software problems.

Phone won't send texts

For some reason, my phone will periodically not send text messages, and the problem won't correct itself until I either reboot it, or I turn on airplane mode, then turn it off. I receive a message that the text message won't send, and it gives me an option to retry. After several retry attempts, I give up and reboot or cycle airplane mode. I've seen some notes across the web about it maybe being a SIM card issue, or potentially a firmware issue. I'm hesitant to restoring the phone to factory, as there are a number of files, apps, and settings I'd have to restore. Any thoughts from the community?

Have you tried to power off, pull the SIM card then re-seat the sim card?
