Received message from removed contact
today i removed a contact from my Contact list and a couple hours later he replied to one of our conversations and i received it.
i have set the settings to get messages/calls from people on my contact list only.
how much time it takes for skype to fully acknowledge that that person is no longer on my list?
but i'm talking about a 1-1 conversation we had.
for example.
myself and contact Z had a private 1-1 chat.
i remove contact Z from my list.
and a couple hours later he wrote to our private chat and this arrived to me, even though i had set to get messages only from contacts.

Blackberry Messenger: Cannot receive message from one contact only
I have been using Blackberry messenger since a few months ago. It has been working fine until 3 weeks ago that it stopped working with only one of my contacts:
I message with my friend every day and out of the blue one day I can't receive any messages from him anymore, and all the messages I send to him would only turn to "d" status even he's read them already (and he'd appear as away on my contact list with a little clock next to the smiley... messages never turn to "R").
My handheld is on a BES and his isn't. I am in the US and he is in Europe. Not sure if that's the reason... but I have other contacts that are either on or not on the same BES and there's no problem with them. He also has contacts that are in the US as well and doesn't have any problem with them either...
We have tried battery pull, shortening name, deleting and re-adding and no luck.
Can any one please help? Thanks!Welcome Tiramisucat; I have the same problem and a few others share your frustration. There is one BB user who reported today that he finally fixed his problem with the assistance of RIM. You can read about his experience in the following thread BlackBerry Support Community Forums : Smartphones : BlackBerry 8300 Series Smartphone - BlackBerry Curve : Re: PENDING blackberry messenger contact.

Not receiving messages from one contact
After updating my iPhone 5 to ios8, i haven't been receiving iMessages from one of my contacts in either group messages or individual messages. He has an iPhone 4 with ios7 and can see the messages i send him but when he sends a message back I do not receive it. I tried restarting my phone, turning iMessage on and off, and resetting my network connections and nothing has helped. Any ideas?
Hi i had the exact same problem with my phone on the same day and its still like it how did you fix it? thanks

Phone not storing of receiving messages from Specific Contact
I accidentally deleted a message conversation. Now I can't make a new message thread with them.Whenever they send me a message or if I send them a message it doesn't get stored in my hub, or in the text message area. When I search for their name calls and emails show up, but no messages. However, when I go to send them a message the entire message history pops up, including any new messages that they have sent me. But once I send the message it disapears again. I don't need the message history, but I want to be able to send and receive messages with them. How do I start a new conversation thread?

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

I am having trouble receiving messages from friends that are using Iphone. I recently switched from Iphone to Galaxy Note 3

You'll need to contact Apple Support if you no longer have the iphone. -
I have been getting messages all day from my husband but for some reason I stopped receiving them. He gets mine and I can receive and send messages from other contacts just I do not receive his. I have tested his phone and his contacts are receiving his. Not sure what the problem is. He has a Samsung SII
ThanksI would suggest doing a hard reboot on your phone and I would suggest a battery pull on his.
This may clear up a message that is stuck on one of the phones. -

I have an iPhone 5s and a MacBook Pro. Ever since I updated my computer software to Yosemite, it linked my Apple ID with my phone number and I am not receiving messages from iMessage users on my phone, but rather to my computer. I don't like to use iMessage so I keep it off and would like to receive all messages as SMS texts. I have already tried changing my Apple ID password, logging off of my Apple ID in iMessage on my phone and turning it off, and changing settings on messages on my computer. Nothing is working. Either the messages continue to go to my computer or the messages trying to be sent say they cannot be sent.
After spending 30 + minutes waiting for technical support, the woman helping me (who did not give me her name) told me I should just turn on iMessage. After explaining that I don't like having iMessage on and asking why it worked for at least a year up until this point she said "things change and sometimes we don't know why things do what they do". She asked me about various other things on my phone such as bluetooth and told me to turn on and off airplane mode and the call disconnected. I have not been contacted since, even though she has my phone number.
I am hoping for some help and also hoping people don't get the type of service I received tonight.I think you can solve your problems by removing your AppleID email address from BOTH the Messages setting on your iPhone and the iMessages settings on your Mac.
On iPhone:
Settings > Messages > iMessage > Dissabled
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > touch the "(i)" < touch "Remove This Email"
On Mac:
Open "Messages" application
Click "Messages menu > Preferences
Click "Accounts"
Select your AppleID account
Under the "You can be reached for messages at" settings, uncheck your AppleID email address and your phone number
Then uncheck the "Enable this account" setting
And lastly, ask all of your friends with iPhones to delete all iMessage conversations (blue bubbles) in their entirety.
To test, send a friend a new text using their phone number (not their email address) and watch the color of the bubble. If it's green then you are using SMS. -
Do you have an option for block all incoming message and request EXCEPTED messages from my contacts?
Please help!!To whom it may concernDear Madam/Sir who works for Skype & Microsoft Dear all who can really help, Do you have an option for block all incoming message and request EXCEPTED messages from my contacts? or Do you have any solution to solve my problem from begin to now in present time? Even though, I set the Privacy settings: - Allow calls from... "people in my Contact list only"- Automatically received video and share screens with "people in my Contact list only"- Allow IMs from "people in my Contact list only" I still received unknow users sent me messages in every day, contact requests etc. And they're all clearly spammings and identity thefts. I only wanna contact with my family and my freinds here with Skype via my Windows device and my mobile phone (w/Android OS). And this is the only way to contact with them, because they could use Skype only in overseas. BUT I don't need new friend from other unknow Skype member. I keep blocked all unknow spammers in every day. However in this morning, I feel so scared with Skype on my mobile, I looked at my mobile Skype, I saw it automatically showed me the list of all blocked members. BUT they were all unblocked (contact unblocked) by my mobile (Android version) Skype itself automatically, and listed them one by one on the screen, and about 30 seconds later, they all were disappeared suddenly. I don't know what do to now, is it indicating my account was hacked?And how could I found out all those members again and block them again and delete all of them for ever? I appreciate if you would improve the privacy protection. Thank you very very very much.
Hrm... that may be true and this may be a function of the phone email client that Apple just doesn't do.
No, I can easily MANUALLY delete the messages. I would prefer if I didn't have to do it twice, tho. Once on the mail server and once on the phone.
What I think the phone needs to do is, when it checks the POP, anything NOT there should be removed locally. I think you are correct on POP; the phone will poll the mx (mail exchanger) and the mx will pass off the messages to the phone. The phone then keeps ALL of that unitl you manually delete it.
If, say, I remove a message from the mx, I would like the phone, when next polls, to see that that particular message isn't on the server anymore and remove it locally.
Perhaps it's just me but if I delete the message on the mx itself, via my ISP's webmail interface, I really don't want to have to remove it again from my phone.
thxs!
cheers

Chat messages from all contacts
I use Skype 5.8 for Iphone. I would like to get messages - chat messages from all contacts, not only from which I have in my contact list. Is anybody can help me how to do it on Iphone?
ask your children to change their applid to stop receiving that or if they are on iCloud to just delete the account on the iPod and then when it asks to keep or remove contacts from the iPhone. make sure to remove so they will no longer see those contacts
-if they are syncing with a mac or pc just uncheck contacts from the Info tab on your iPhone from iTunes if you are not using iCloud. -
Not receiving texts from some contacts
I have the Verizon Juke phone, and have been using the model for years. Recently, I had an issue on a previous Juke device where I was no longer receiving texts from particular contacts, while others were coming through. Everyone was able to receive my texts, however. The problem always happened between me and two or three others at the same time, so it had nothing to do with their personal phone settings. The texts from them to me would get backlogged without being delivered, then arrive en masse a week or two later all at once, and it was always random, without me fiddling around with phone settings or anything of the sort.
I assumed that it was an issue with that Juke, so I bought a new one and activated it, but it did not fix the problem. I had to call Verizon support, and after about an hour of troubleshooting, they informed me that the only solution was to remove the texting feature from my phone, then reinstate it, ultimately losing every text that was stuck in backlog. Although I lost those texts, my phone regained its functionality. The solution worked for about a month, but recently it has returned, and I would like to have a permanent fix, so that I may always receive texts from all of my contacts. As I mentioned, it is a system issue, and it has nothing to do with others' iPhone settings or anything of the sort. Thanks!Hello Kalysm,
I am so sorry you are experiencing these issues with your phone. I know it's upsetting to not get your message, especially when you've put effort into troubleshooting, and the issue continues. Just to make sure, do you have the area code programmed into your contacts for each of the people you've had issues with? The number should have the area code, but not have a 1 in front of it.
If you've already confirmed the number is listed correctly, and the problem is persisting, our Technical Support team can file a network ticket to get this issue resolved once and for all. They can be reached at 800-922-0204.
Thank you,

Still can't receive messages from Iphone Users
Greetings,
I know there are many topics asking similar questions if it's googled, and I think I have read through almost all of them to no prevail. I know veterans of these boards probably get tired of seeing the same topics, but im desperate and will try to keep it quick. I really appreciate any help.
I recently upgraded from a 4S to a Galaxy S5 and have not been able to receive messages from Iphone users since. I still have my old Iphone. Here are the steps I've tried:
1) Ensure "IMessage" is disabled in my old phone
2) Unregistered my phone number with my Apple ID. I currently have no phone numbers registered with them
3) Changed my Apple ID Password
4) Unregistered my Iphone with my ITunes Account.
5) I also have a Macbook Air and a 2010 model IMac. I have also ensured I am signed out on those devices and my phone number isn't linked in anyway I could find.
6) I called Apple 3 Days ago and the representitive was very nice and professional but ultimately was incorrect. He advised me that the new IoS7 is more advanced and should check about every 12 hours to see if the user on the other end has an active IMessage account. He said to wait 24 hours just to be safe. He also advised people running older IOS systems could take up to 3-4 days to contact me correctly. Furthermore he said if after that time frame their phones still sent me IMessages instead of SMS then THEY were having problems and should call Apple. I just really doubt that is the case.
I have tested it out with 5 Iphones now with help from some friends, all running IOS7 and still no luck 3 days after the phone call to Apple.
7) I tried logging back into IMessage today on my Macbook and it worked, I was still able to send and receive texts from Iphone users. This seems like it should not be possible since it is not linked to my phone number anymore. It is logged into the same Email that I used to have linked to my phone number.
Now as others have said, If I have them hold down the bubble and send as text message 3 times their phone will remember and keep sending my texts, however that is unreasonable to ask everyone to do. There should just be a way to completely delete your Apple ID. Is there anything I'm possibly overlooking? I really appreciate any help.I am right there with you. This describes my problem to a T. Only other issue I am having is group texts. Iphone users who include me in a group text still send as imessages as well, so even if I text them first and they reply, it send as an imessage. Get it together apple.
