Problems receiving text from one person

got my iphone 5 on sept 21st and haven't been able to receive text from one person, he has virgin mobile and i have verizon, i've gotten them from everyone else, i'm able to send texts too
i recently switched from virgin mobile to verizon
i've called verizon and they said there isn't a problem
i've called virgin mobile and they don't have a problem either
HELP

Could be something wrong on the other persons end...this one is hard to call if it's only happening with one number. Are the text long (longer than 140 or 160 characters)? Try asking them to sending a short one (just type "testing" and send it)...see if that goes through. I would lean more towards the issue being on their end if you're saying you can send them to him fine...you're just not receiving them.

  • 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! 

  • Cant send or receive texts from one person....​why?

    I have a palm pixi and I cant send or receive texts from one person...why? when I send a message to this person the message just disappears. anything I can do to fix this?
    Post relates to: Pixi p120eww (Sprint)

    This is a common problem.... I was having it too.  The only solution I found is to go into device info, reset options and then choose erase apps and data.  It solved the problem.  All the contact info is backed up so you don't lose your data.

  • Cannot Receive Text from One Person

    I cannot receive texts from 1 person who is also a Verizon Customer, both of us have iPhone 4S phones.  I receive his messages on my iPad, but not my iPhone.   All other texting seems to be working with other contacts.  I could receive his texts/iMessages 12 hours ago without a problem.  Any suggestions?  I have rebooted my phone.  He can receive my texts.
    Thanks.

    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.

  • Stratosphere cannot receive texts from one person

    Suddenly this morning, my girlfriend stopped receiving texts from me. It shows sent on my end, but she does not get them. I can receive text from her just fine.
    I have no synced contacts, I have deleted our entire thread and deleted her as a contact. Tried sending to number with and without +1.
    She has an AT&T iPhone 4 if that matters.

        Thanks for posting your inquiry here, redbearder.
    We haven't heard back from you so I wanted to check into the messages.
    Do you know if anyone else is not receiving messages from you?

  • My iphone 4s has stopped received texts from one person

    Hi everyone,
    My iphone 4s has suddenly stopped receiving texts sent from my husband's iphone 4s. I've never had a problem until a few days ago, and now nothing comes through from him.
    He still gets my texts fine, and there's nothing at his end that shows that his aren't getting through to me.
    I'm with Orange and he's with O2.
    Hope you can help me solve this rather annoying mystery. Thanks in advance!
    Best,
    Amanda

    Ready to try an experiment?
    Ok, go to Messages- and swipe to delete the message conversation with your husband.
    Next, go to Contacts. Find his contact card. IF you know his number, tap Edit, then Delete at the bottom. Now on the list of contacts tap the + button and Re-add him back into your contacts.
    Send him a message. It should work.

  • Not receiving texts from one person

    I deleted the contact. My friend did too...she's now receiving my texts, but I'm not receiving hers.

    Did you accidentally add her to your auto-reject list, mute the conversation, block from texting or use something like Mr. Number and block her with that app perhaps?

  • 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.

  • TS2755 I recently upgraded my IPhone and for 1 person I began receiving this "7233375 Error Invalid Number. Please re-send using a valid 10 digit mobile number or valid short code". I receive text from this person but cannot send. Please help. Thank you.

    Hi there
    I’d be happy to help with this messaging error! This will be due to the device storing the number incorrectly. Please do the following to resolve the issue:
    Delete texts from both old number and new
    Delete any call logs including these numbers
    Delete old number from contacts
    Delete new number from contacts
    Restart device
    Send text to the new number directly (do not save as contact)
    Once the text sends successfully, you can then save as a new contact
    I hope this helps!

  • 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?

  • 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,

  • Nokia 920 not receiving some texts from one person...

    I've contacted my carrier Straight Talk and they my account if fully operational. I only seem to have problems with this one specific person. Why is this happening and how do I fix?

    I too am having this problem with texts from a frequently texted friend. Her texts will now no longer open and I can't text her either. It looks like I have to delete her whole thread which goes right back to when I bought the phone which I don't really want to do. And no, she's not on an iphone, just cheap Nokia which she's had for years.

  • 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.

  • Not Receiving SMS from ONE person

    I am able to receive messages from everyone but one person. I can send them messages, and they receive them, but I cannot get they're response. I AM able to receive MMS from this person. This happened after I set up the BBM with this person. That is working fine, but the regular SMS is not. Thanks for the help!

    Make sure that the Address Book contact is not linked into the BBM contact, i.e. you may be getting the SMS messages in BBM. My son had my old BB 8330 and I would get his SMS texts in BBM. Just a thought.
