Problems receiving texts from AT&T

Searched through the forums, briefly, and found a few topic related but no answers that helped or pertained to my particular issue.
Started about 2 months ago with not being able to receive calls or texts from AT&T customers on my DroidX. I called tech support and they fixed the calling part but i still do not receive texts from AT&T. I can send to AT&T but get nothing in return. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm sure it's not on AT&T's end because my wife's phone works fine.
Thanks

Steady3,
I'm glad to learn that you're able to make calls to AT&T customers. Let's take a further look into messaging, too! When inter-carrier messaging occurs, the carriers use a third party company to deliver each message. If you're getting messages from other carriers other than AT&T, the messages are being stopped between AT&T and the message carrier. I'm happy to look into the troubleshooting we did to resolve the calling issue to ensure we didn't miss anything. Please PM me to do so. I do recommend this gets escalated on AT&T's side by the person(s) you text with.
Thank you!

I'm very sorry for any trouble with messages, kmorr1. I'm determined to assist you in getting this resolved. Can you provide some details? What happens when you try to get messages from her? Which model device do you use? How about her device model? When did you first notice this?

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.

Problems receiving texts from iphone users on galaxy

Made the switch yesterday from iphone 4s to galaxy s4. my wife has an iphone 5 and many of my friends have iphones. i unregistered my old iphone and still having problems with receiving texts. is there an esy fix here? do i need to take my phone number completely off the apple system?

You need to deactivate iMessage: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5185

HT5622 I have a Galaxy s4 now and cannot receive text from some of my old iphone contacts.

Please don't hate but i recently changed to a Galaxy S4 from my iPhone 5. I am having a problem receiving text from some of my iphone contacts. I have found a few suggestions online but haven't been able to fix the problem yet. Can anyone help?

Turn off iMessage on the old iPhone.
Call Apple Support to have your phone number removed from association to the iMessage servers.

HT4528 I had an iphone 4. I traded it in for a samsung galaxy note 3. Since swapping phones, I cannot receive text from any iphone. What can I do to fix the problem.

Not receiving texts from iPhone contacts when I'm not connected to wifi or cell data. I can't send and receive regular SMS texts with non iMessage users but iMessage users message are not being converted to text when I don't have internet connect

I can send and receive to any non iPhone user. I can send a message as a text to an iPhone user but if I'm not connected to cellular data or wifi I do not receive messages from iPhone contacts. From what I understand these message should automatically send to me as texts instead of iMessages but since the update it's not functioning properly. Please help. I've tried turning iMessage off and I still don't receive the messages until after I reconnect to wifi.

I have the same problem! Before the upgrade, if I wasn't connected to the internet, any messages sent to me from an iphone would convert automatically to a text message. I have payg tarriff, so I turn cell data off, as it costs too much to use it. I have wifi at home and work, but if I'm out and about, I don't receive texts from iphone users until I'm on wifi. I get them ok from non iphone users. There was never any problem until ios7

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!

Galaxy Nexus - not receiving texts from iPhone 4s

This morning, my girlfriend sent me a text from her iPhone 4s, synced to my computer with her Apple account, on the same contract, to my Galaxy Nexus. I kept getting texts from her, and every text I sent appeared to have sent, but she didn't get a single one from me after her first text this morning. The messaging web app gives me a "failed" error with a delivery status of "319066302769." Both phones have messaged each other fine since the day we signed the contract until today, and we've both been text messaging other people perfectly fine. My phone number has never been associated with an activated iOS device on Verizon or any other carrier. In fact, I've never owned an activated iOS device on any smartphone plan (except in college, I had a loaner iPod touch for iOS development, registered to my school email on a different computer, a loaner Macbook Pro). Every thing I found on Google is the opposite, Android users unable to receive texts from iOS users. Thanks for any help in advance

Hi xg33kx,
That is definitely an unusual situation. I'm sure it's frustrating that it isn't working when you need it. Do either of you have trouble with texting anyone else? Try turning off Wi-Fi on both devices, and see if the problem persists or continues when using only the mobile network. Please keep us updated with this situation so we can help to resolve!
Thank you,

How do I disable iMessage so I can receive text from other

I switch from an iPhone to a android but I still have an iPad. I can't receive text from iPhone users but I can send them text messages. How do I go about fixing this problem. Some suggested turning off my iMessage on my iPad. How do I manage that?

Settings>Messages>Off. It's that simple.
You should be able to receive texts from iPhone users. I text my brother from my iPhone to his Samsung Android phone all the time with no issues at all. Are they sending the text to your phone number and not to your email address?

Not receiving texts from iPhone users

I recently got a new Samsung Galaxy S4. I registered this phone to a new number.... I did not port an existing number to the phone. Since getting the phone, I have had trouble receiving texts from iphone users - their messages will not come through on my phone unless their imessage is turned off. As you can imagine, this is quite a hassle - having to explain this problem every time I give someone my number, and several people having to change their settings every time they text me.
I've done research on this problem, and it seems that this happens when you port a number from an iphone to an android. The problem is fixed when you update your apple id account, and delete the number from the imessage service. I am concerned that my current number used to be registered to an iphone - and that the number is possibly still associated with an imessage account. I have no way of changing this, so I'm stuck.
I understand that this may be a problem that only Apple can fix, but any advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Hello annaesharon, I know that receiving all of your text messages are important, indeed! Sorry to learn that you've been missing many of yours due to this. Thanks for reaching out to us - it's my pleasure to help.
The good news is that you are absolutely on the right track. The best way to take care of this is to ensure the phone number is un registered with Apple/iMessage. You mentioned that this is a brand new phone number for you, so we would also like the opportunity to check a few things on your line as well. Do you receive any type of alert or error message when the iPhone text try to come through? Which application are you using, primarily, to send/receive text messages. Let us know! We want to help get to the bottom of this for you.

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.

Anyone else having trouble receiving texts from other iphone users?

My daughter has an iphone 4S and just called from college, she can't receive texts from other iphone users anymore. Worked fine until yesterday. She can receive texts from me, but I have a droid. Any idea if this is a Verizon problem or something wrong with her phone?

She turned imessage off, then turned it back on again and now it seems to be fine. Not sure what she did, but she says she's ok now.

Can receive texts from some phones but they never get my return text.

Brand new replacement iphone 4S for duplicate issue - can text other iphones and receive texts but NON-iphones cannot receive any texts from my iphone (I can receive their texts, though). Has anyone else had this problem?

You can't send texts to other phones with iMessage, it only sends and/or receives from other iOS devices. If you want to send text to others phones (other than an iPhone to iTouch), get the third-party app textPlus Free Text + Calls so you can send and received texts from other people.
Hope this helps.

Cannot receive text from specific person....

I can receive texts from my husbands iPhone 4S, but he cannot receive texts from me using an iPhone 4S.... I have already done a "hard reboot" and it still doesn't work. Any suggestions to help me out?

Are the messages green (SMS) or blue (iMessage)? If SMS, probably a carrier problem. If iMessage, probably an iMessage configuration problem on his account, be sure you are addressing the message to the iMessage phone number or email address configured in the settings on his device.
