Receiving SMS

Hi
Every time i receive a message with more than 160 characters from someone i can't see all the message, just the first 160 character in one message and at the end appears "*some text is missing*" and the second message is blank. Anyone know why?
I have this problem with all the nokias that I've had, currently 6230i.

It's not likely to be a problem with your phone I wouldn't think - it's likely to be the sender's phone or network...
Have you noticed it with more than one person? I'd just let them know not to send them as long texts... you waste some characters anyway lol
Or, depending on how long they are, it may work out cheaper to send them as MMS's - I often send messages like that, as they end up 10+ SMS's long sometimes lol

Not able to send or receive SMS messages on iMessage on mac

When I first updated to Yosemite the new SMS feature on iMessage was working. I had to replace my home button and screen on my iPhone 5s and after that it stopped working. I am not sure if having that repair done on my phone has anything to do with my above problem. Please help

Hi Ralph,
Thank you for your reply.
Ok, I will try to explain myself better.
When I say:
- Messages, I am talking about the software to send and receive iMessages and SMS.
- iMessage, is the blue bubble
- SMS is the green bubble
Facetime is because if someones callsme and I do not answer quickly on iPhone, and the Macs are using the same network as iPhone, the VoiceCall pops ups and rings, and usually I activate the Facetime option (when is a iPhone). Sorry about this confusion.
So basically, a week ago, I could send and receive SMS, iMessage on my Macs to/from anyone.
Now, I just can send iMessages (blue bubbles with blue name/contact on top [TO:]) and I can't send SMS (text messages, green bubble), I receive error (red exclamation point) and the name/contacts on top [To:] are red.
And as I told, I think it might be because of the new iOS update with iTunes recovery. Because it is the only similar thing I can relate with "loyalchiver" (when an iPhone goes to repair, the restore it.) That's why I tried signout/in in all Macs, but still not working.
About the Text Forwarding function, I had searched and what I was getting was to go to Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding, but this last option didn't appear, so I thought this was because the pages/foruns that I was reading was for the version 8.1 and not 8.1.1 (Apple could change it, I don't know). But while I was trying to put this working, I had rebooted some where and when I saw your reply, I went again there, and I had the Text Message Forwarding option, so all I had to do was activating it. Thank you!
To "labelchiver", I am not sure how I did it, but try this:
1. close all applications running on background.
2. reboot your iphone.
3. go to Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding .
4. If you can enter there and your mac is linked, unlink it and link it again.
5. Hope it works for you
Once again, thank you for your help and I apologize for my confusions about the labels. Cheers!

HOW CAN WE GET SKYPE TO ALLOW RECEIVED SMS?

hey yall friends, moderators, and hopefully someone from the actual skype company.
what is the deal? why are we not able to receive sms texts (except from people with smartphones who can do mobile to landline text to voice features)?
can we somehow come to a compromise, a creative solution. it is just stupid to be able to send sms messages but not receive them. people even send them back and they go nowhere, thinking they communicated but we never receive anything.
if we have bought an online number and a subscription doesnt it make sense we should be able to receive text? that was one of the first features of skype original.
what is the blockage that is stopping this easy feature from being included? is it that phone companies charge the recipient company (skype) for texting? and skype doesnt know how to deal with that, or want to? i think even if you charged us .11 cents to receive, we would all do that. you could even make an SMS subscription to pay for costs.
if skype is going to continue to grow as a company and as a useful feature. this is the next step. i hope we all understand and appriciate that.
again, 1 way SMS is just non-functional and barely-useful. communication is a two way street. please let us make something happening.
here i am planting the seed.

That is also my request. I'm using TextPlus on my Android phone to send and receive free SMS messages. (Yes, it gave me a free phone number.) However, I would rather just use Skype with an online number to send and receive SMS messages. And SMS needs to be free. With Skype's other paid services, free SMS should be possible.

Verizon iPhone 4S stopped being able to receive SMS messages last night. Any ideas?

My wife and I have had our iPhone 4S's since they first became available in 2011. Up until last night we had not had any issues. All of a sudden a couple of our relvatives called us and said they could not send us text messages, they were getting Not Delivered messages or SMS Failure, depending on their carrier/device (they do not have iPhones). My wife and I were still able to send iMessages to each other, but when I shut off iMessage to debug, we were not able to send SMS messages to each other. Turned iMessage back on and we are able to message back and forth.
Note, our two iPhones share the same Apple ID, but each phone's iMessage is associated with a different phone number and email. Both phones were on iOS 6.0.2
I searched this forum and Verizon for solutions, tried several starting with reboot, delete all existing messages, delete contact and finally did a backup and factory restore via iTunes for my device only. Still no luck, I cannot receive SMS messages.
I had not yet installed iOS 6.1.x after reading of some of the issues. However, since I tried a factory restore to fix this, I was foreced to updated to 6.1.2.
We did not receive the message that we have reached the 75,000 message limit, but just to be sure, we deleted all old messages and still nothing.
So to summarize:
iMessage works fine, send and receive between the two of us and other iPhone users
We are able to send SMS messages, we have confirmed that people can receive our SMS messages
We cannot receive SMS message. We never see the messages and the people who try to text us get undeliverable messages.
All started yesterday evening.
Any help is much appreciated.

Contact your carrier to confirm that your messaging plan is properly provisioned. They are responsible for routing your sms messages.

Is there a way to send and receive SMS on multiple cellular devices without using iMessage?

I currently own a cellular iPad mini and an iPhone 4s and would like SMS to be the same on both devices as well as my desktop.
After many months of struggling with iMessage, I decided to turn it off entirely. I discovered that my best friend did not receive dozens of my texts over the span of a few months (I compared our message history side by side). Seems like it had something to do with traveling in and out of wifi zones or possibly conflicts between our two carriers, ATT and Verizon. Regardless, I am not willing to dive into iMessage fully until this gets sorted out. Further, SMS is the standard message format for everyone outside of the Apple sphere, and I do not feel comfortable lumping them together into one app. If I decide to switch to Android, will all of my contacts with iPhones continue sending me iMessages?
Thank you for your help!

Search the iTunes App Store for any 3rd party SMS apps that may be available.

Android phones don't receive iMessages, they can recieve SMS messages sent through the iOS Messages app. The app that your contacts choose to use to send you messages is completely up to them.

Problem sending/ receiveing SMS on a particular port in an intercarrier n/w

I am using JSR 120 to send & receive SMS on a particular port. This works perfectly between 2 devices using the same carrier.
if I try sending & receive inter-carrier SMS, like from T-Mobile device to Cingular device (or vice-versa), my j2me app does not receive any SMS on the port it is listening to.
When the SMS with a port is sent from my app, I get the prompt for permission to send. On pressing OK, the SMS is sent. On the receiving side, the device on the another carrier network receives the SMS in the default inbox, & not by my app.
I am not sure if this is a inter-carrier SMSC issue or something to do with my app.
Pl help.

Has anyone come across the above mentioned problem? Pl let me know if there is any solution.
Question simply put : When a j2me sms midlet sends an sms on a unique port to another j2me sms midlet listening on the same port, but served by a different carrier (cellular operator), why does the sms go to device inbox & not to my midlet?
Thank you

Since upgrading to IOS6, some of my contacts (using nokia) no longer receives sms from me, although it shows on my 4s phone that it was sent. I receive sms from these contacts though. These contacts are international numbers. What do I do to fix this? Thx

Since upgrading to IOS6 on my 4s, some of my sms messages (international) are no longer delivered to other phone users (nokia, etc.), even though it shows sent in the message screen. I do however receive sms messages from these numbers. These numbers are correct and I can call or receive calls on the same numbers. I would appreciate if someone can assist me so that my messages can be received again on international numbers. I think all my local numbers are working fine regarding messages. Thanks.

Since it has always been very basic to backup your computer and all it's data, Apple provides no way for you to transfer music from your iPhone back to your computer. As you know, you can re-download all iTunes purchases, but music that you ripped yourself you'll have to just re-rip again.
You can try and find 3rd party applications that might help you. I'm sure you'll pay, however.
Let this be a very important lesson learned.
Best.

My iPhone4 loses signal and when I do hard reset, I can't send or receive SMS and calls. I have to back-up and restore weekly!

It started last month before I ungraded to iOS5. So my network provider advised me to upgrade. It fixed the problem but it happens again after several days. I lose signal then when I do hard reset, signal is back but I can't send or receive SMS or make and receive calls. But from the other end my phone is ringing but nothing is happening to my phone.This is really frustrating! Coz it happens weekly and the only way to fix it is to back-up and restore. Which is a hassle coz it takes me about 3 hours! Please help. My phone is still under warranty but the provider is telling me it might take them 3 months to check and fix.
I think there is a bug with the iOS5 coz it happen when it I upgraded. Before I was quite happy with my iPhone4 but now it has become a source of anxiety and stress. I've received a lot of complaints at work coz they couldn't contact me.

After updating to ios 8.1, receive sms but can't open or send sms

After I updating to ios 8.1, I can receive sms but can't open it or send sms

User troubleshooting consists of restart (powering the phone off and then back on), reset (holding the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot.), restore from backup through iTunes, and finally restore as new through iTunes. I would also force closed the Messages app, double-tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking bar. From there, locate the Messages app and swipe upwards on the app thumbnail to close. Then try the troubleshooting steps I provided. Test the app after each step. If after the final step you are still unable to send an SMS, then you need to contact the carrier again. They need to check your account. SMS is a carrier function and there is no setting on the iPhone to enable or disable SMS.

HELP - not receiving sms on android after using ichat

For the past 3 months, I have lost the ability to receive SMS texts about once a month.
The first time it happened right after I sent somone an ichat on my ipad. Up until then, I had not used ichat for about one year, which is when I went from an iPhone to an android (and I have not used it since then either). I did some research online and found some suggestions on how to fix the issue. A few forums suggested removing my cell phone # from my Apple Support profile. A few others said to change my apple password. I did both and my messages started coming in about 3 days after they stopped.
About 3 weeks later, I stopped receiving them again. I looked at my Apple Support profile and found that my cell phone # had been added back in. Thinking that maybe Apple has some job that runs every so often and repopulates information on blank fields, I removed my cell phone # again and entered a bogus #.
Couple days ago I stopped receiving texts again. I looked at my Apple Support profile and found that the bogus # is still listed so that was not what fixed it the first time.
I have called ATT (my carrier) repeatedly and they have tried to trouble shoot my problem with no success. They suggest that it's only something that Apple can fix. I have also called Apple and they suggest that it's an ATT issue. No one has been able to help me. It really surprises me that this is not a known issue with a fix.
So here is the problem in a nutshell:
I am not receiving sms texts on my android, from anyone at all.. doesn't matter what kind of phone they have or who their carrier is.
I DO receive mms texts.
All of my texts are going through no probelm.
Does anyone have any clue how I can stop this from happening every few weeks? I want to stick with my current phone until the next iPhone comes out. Any leads on this issue are greatly appreciated!
Thanks!!

I just don't understand what you mean by "invites". What kind of "invite" did you send "from another gmail to gmail"?
What about a simple email? Do you receive simple email messages to that address?

Not Receiving SMS's

Hi All BB - Curve 8520 Carrier - CellC (South Africa) For the last week now I have not been receiving SMS's at all. I can send SMS's and I have confirmed that they are being received. All other services seem fine as well. It's just the SMS receiving problem. I have scoured the forums and have tried almost every suggestion, to no avail. Any ideas? Thanks

Unfortunately, we cannot know what you have already tried, so we risk wasting your time with redundant suggestions. Here's my first guess...
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness shows up, the first thing to try is a proper reboot:
Pre-BB10 Devices ONLY. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.
See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Good luck!

Dont receive SMS from ONE person only. I am AT&T, they are Verizon

Since my friend swithed to a BB Pearl, I am unable to receive SMS from her. On her old phone I received them. Since getting the BB Pearl I do not receive them. They show up as sent on her phone but I get nothing. I am on a blackberry curve with AT&T. She is on a Pearl with Verizon.
Any advice?

E7 fail to receive SMS after Belle update

Hi there,
I recently have a problem receiving SMS on E7 after updating to Belle. When I put the SIM card to another phone I do receive messages. However I do not receive those SMS that I have sent when the SIM was in the E7. Looks like the messages are lost in the middle of nowhere or somehow stuck in the E7. On the other hand messages sent from E7 are delivered.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks for help

I actually had similar problem with my E7 just the other day. However i am still running Anna, couldnt receive any sms could send them. it was exactly as you described. the only way i was able to get resolved was to speak to my carrier who reset the sms service for my phone number. We did also remove and put back in the sim card, but never received the missing messages, including the ones I sent myself. after the reset I was able to recieve any new messages.
BUT this was on an ANNA based phone. but maybe it work asking your carrier to reset the sms service for your phone from their end.

SMS is a carrier service, talk to your carrier.
