Sending and receiving group texts on galaxy s5

I cannot receive or send group texts.  is there a suggestion on what the issue might be?

    I want to make sure you can take advantage of group messaging, tlavender. Are you using the default application on the device? Are you attempting to initiate group messages from your phone or is a contact adding you to their group message? Does the group message contain more than 5 contacts? If so, are you able to start a group message with 3 members?

  • I am having issues sending and receiving group texts on my iphone 5c

    I am having issues sending and receiving group texts on iphone 5c.  I may get texts only from the sender or a few of the recipients, but not all.   I spoken to Apple.  They are working on the problem but it has been almost two months + and the problem seems to be getting worse.  Any one have this issue?

        ajspurr, sorry to hear that you're still having some troubles here, but we want to figure this out. If you have already cleared the application cache and data and it's still giving you an issue, we may want to reset the device. By resetting the device we can ensure there are no underlying software issues. If you have the device backed up you can take a look here to see how to reset the device http://vz.to/1ucTCmE. Give that a try and keep us posted.

  • I cannot send or receive group text messages as well as pictures messages / MMS. What should I do? The settings on Messages was set to receive group texts but it does not solve the problem.

    I cannot send or receive group text messages and picture messages / MMS.  The settings on Messages are already set to receive group texts but it does not help. What should I do?

        Wow, 1yerdua. That's far too long to be having this messaging trouble. We want to find the resolution fast! If you turn off your Lumia's WiFi (Menu > Settings > WiFi), are you still able to access data-oriented applications like Internet Explorer? Have you been to other areas of the state/country and experienced the same trouble?

  • Can't send or receive group texts after 8.1 update

    I can't send or receive group texts after I updated my phone. I do get "get media content now" but nothing happens when I click it.

    Hi, @ImSqueakaFied.
    For which phone model is this? Are you referring to the Lumia Cyan software update or the Windows Phone 8.1 Preview for Developer? 
    Good job on your very first post, by the way! 

  • Cannot send or receive group text if someone is not on an apple phone

    Does anyone else have this problem or have a solution to this issue?  Has been like this since I got the phone and Apple says it is Verizon AND Verizon says it is Apple!  I cannot send or receive a group text!  Help!

    i have the same issue with AT&T. My phone receives picture and group texts just fine, but responding to group texts fails.
    Disabling MMS allows you to send texts to multiple people at the same time but doesn't set up the group chat environment so that responses can be automatically sent to everyone as well. you end up receiving text responses from each recipient in a separate thread.
    AT&T has also stated that it is an iPhone issue, but I have yet to ask apple what they think the problem is. Since the issue sounds identical to KKONO's, I'd assume the response would be that I should speak with AT&T about it. :\
    It doesn't really make sense that the carrier would be the one at fault since if MMS were really dysfunctional it would have much more widespread affects than just disabling group chat response. Send/Receive picture text and receive group chat should also be disabled. Since the problem is isolated only to responding to group chat, I'd think it's more likely an issue with apple iOS.
    Any thoughts?

  • Re: sending and receiving picture texts

    Hi, I have an iphone 4s with ios 7.  I can send and receive picture messages from everyone except for one person.  He also has an iphone 4s but for some reason when I try to send him a pic it says not delivered. I try several more times but with the same result.  I also don't receive any that he sends to me.  I really need your
    help...any suggestions as to what is happening.  Thank you so much
    Pat

    Hi and thank you for responding.  He does have an account (sprint) that includes MMS.  I did one time receive one picture from him and that was it.  I have not been able to get any pictures to go through.  Although I am able to send pictures to every one else and receive.  Could there by some setting on my end that isn't right?  I am fairly new to the iphone.  Thank you again

  • Can i send and receive mobile texts with bb bridge?

    I would like to know if its possible to use my t-mobile messaging service using the bridge mode through my playbook.
    Do I need to download an app from t-mobile? When I open messages, the file is empty, and there is a load of messages on my phone.

    There is an app in appworld called sms bridge for playbook. it is used on the phone. it converts to an email and you can reply and it converts back to txt. there is a small fee but works well.

  • IPhone will not send or receive group messages

    I recently got an iPhone because I needed to be able to group text with my boss and coworkers. However, upon getting a brand new iPhone 4s (Verizon) I discovered that my phone still does not send or receive group texts. I have turned on group messaging so I should be receiving them. Any ideas on what is wrong? Is it something I can fix or do I need to go to the Apple store?

    Make sure MMS is On in Settings > Messages.
    If that doesn't work, take a look at this -> iOS: Troubleshooting Messages

  • Why can't I receive group text messages?

    Why can't I receive group text messages?  I can send group messages and receive a response and texting to individuals works also.  My carrier is AT&T

    Do I really have to have my LTE/3G data enabled in order to send/receive group text messages????  YES.
    If so, that's a complete waste of my data package as far as I'm concerned. ... I'm not sure why I can't send/receive group text messages as plain texts????
    Group messages are considered MMS, not SMS.  MMS is transmitted over the cellular (data) network.  It does NOT use your data plan, it uses your texting allowance.  But data DOES need to be enabled to send and receive group and picture texts.

  • Send and Receive  in iMessage only shows my AppleID and not my phone number. How do I add the phone number to where I can be reached?

    Send and Recieve in iMessage only shows my Apple ID and not my phone number and I can't send nor receive messages from any other phones except iPhones. How do I get my phone number to show up so that I can send and receive SMS text messages and not just iPhone iMessage texts between only other iPhones?

    Where is the Start new conversations from??? When I go to Send & Receive, there is no where to add or set to receive at my phone number. There is only a setting to Add Another Email and my Apple Id is already there. No place or way to add a phone number to receive at. I also have a lasting Waiting for activation... under iMessage ON but no place for my phone number although it shows up as My number under Phone.

  • Cannot send or receive some text messages

    I just got the iphone 4s, and am having problems sending and receiving some text messages, it is saying "Message Send Failure"

    Same problem persists also here. Have crosschecked with friend, all same settings, have deleted the contacted, created again, still that number does not receive my SMS (no question on iMessage). Can not even reply her message. This problem persists with few numbers, nothing common, different phones, different countries, different operators. All others, with different operators, in different coutries receive my messages. Even other people can send their SMS to her.

    Apparently, your definition of "works perfect" is radically different from mine...

  • Send and receive mms and group text messages on Samsung Galaxy Core Prime

    I moved from a basic phone to a smartphone.  I used to be able to receive group text messages and MMS messages without having to use data or be connected via wifi.  Why is it I have to use data or be connected to a wifi sourceto receive those messages now?

    The antennae or radios in the Prime are configured differently than most flagship type smartphones and even different still from basic phones.  It comes down to difference of hardware.

  • 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

  • TS2755 I have 3 phones on one Icloud account. It has been this way for over a year with no issues. After and update on of the lines started getting text messages from all 3 phones. We fixed the send and receive and it was fixed. It is doing it again.

    I have 3 phones on one Icloud account. They have been this way for over a year. After an update last week one of the phones started getting messages for all of the other lines. We fixed this under the send and receive under settings. It was fine for a few days. Suddenly it started happening again. Yesterday after two hours on the phone I changed my apple id and it is still happening. Before that Verizon had told me to turn off my imessage when that happened I could not get any texts at all from other Iphone users.

    Make 3 different iCloud accounts and use ONLY for iMessage.   That will permanently fix your issue.
