Sending Text Messages Issue- Tampa

Is anyone having problems sending text messages? I can receive text. Data and voice are working. I am in the Tampa bay area. (Brandon/Riverview to be specific)

Hi mufasawc. Let's get to the bottom of these messaging troubles right away. When you say the green arrow is there for a while, how long is a while? Depending on the message length, if there's any attachments, and the signal strength on your phone a message can take anywhere from a few seconds up to 2 minutes to send at times. I'm glad the messaging on Facebook and Chatheads is working out alright, but those will go through your data network a little differently than text. Did the errors on your Droid 4 start after a particular application was installed? If you haven't already, try deleting some of the messages and threads http://vz.to/18APRgp on your phones to help clear up message memory. If you still have the error, please reply with the exact error your getting too.
Thank you

Issue with selecting a contact to send text message in BB Hub

Dear all,
Currently, I meet some issues in selecting a contact to send text message.
In BB Hub, tap Text message, tap Compose,
In "To:" field, tab "+" for selecting contact, I see that, there are contacts mixing between mobile contacts, facebook contacs (current, on my Q10, facebook accounts are syned at the first time I login in facebook, but now I not syn any more) so It brings to me a confusion of selecting, sometime I select a wrong contact,...
So, please help me, when I tap "+", I can filter type of Contact I want to use, for example, I can filter facebook contact, mobile contact,...
And I don't understand, why don't classify contact based on type of account, mean that:
Hub is where manage all accounts (face, mail, text message,...), then contacts also classify based on those accounts, for example, when I tap Facebook then only accounts belong to Facebook will be available, and contacts of other accounts will be unavailable,
And, of course, when I tab Text message, then only contacts belong to Text message (mobile) will be availabe, this will avoid the issue that I mentioned above...
Could I be helped by these issues or I must wait for a upgraded OS release? And I don't know all critical issues that mentioned in this forum will be fixed in the next release....
Thanks for your help,
Regards,
Don

I am having trouble sending text messages. They aren't always going through. And sometimes I'm not receiving text messages. I also have voicemails that I didn't receive until late at night that were left early in the day. I need to resolve this issue ASA

julie@remax,
I know that this would concern me just the same and we want to make sure that your device is connected and receiving these notifications when available. How long have you been having this issue? Are you receiving a specific error message when sending a message? Are you aware if this happens in one location specifically or everywhere you go? Does the issue with messaging occur with all numbers? Share some details, so that we may assist.

I cannot use my iPhone to make calls or send text messages after upgrading to ios 7

I just upgraded to ios7 and I can no longer make calls or send text messages. The screens seem to be locking. Does anyone know what I can do to fix it?

My wife is having the exact same issue after updating to the new iOS 8.1.1 and we've tried all the same steps even restoring the phone as a new phone. We've contacted our service provider and they've told us to go to apple to potentially "remove" her serial number from their servers to allow it to work properly on the service we have. We are desperate as purchasing a new phone right now is not an option and she desperately needs her phone for work and life.

I can't use iphone5 China Mobile Network in China, unable to register activation, could not send text messages, not GPRS

Dear Sir or Madam，
As I bought my iPhone 5 (16GB,White) in the USA from Sprint, full price with tax, unlocked ,it was excepted to be a global phone. But now I come across with some problems in China using local carrier, everything is working properly except sending text message, and iMessage and Facetime also seem not to work.This is very serious for Apple and me! Will I have the chance to fix this?
I tried all the possible solutions from the Internet, and the Official solution offered by Apple (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4459), but it doesn't seem to work.
Will Apple help me with this issue? Please do.

The Sprint iPhone 5 is NOT unlocked. The SIM slot can only be unlocked by Sprint for Sprint customers in good standing.
How exactly, did you "unlock" the phone? There are known issues with SMS on foreign networks.
If the article you linked to did not fix it, you'll have to work with your carrier.
The bottom line is, you should not have purchased a Sprint phone with the intent of using it without Sprint service.

I had the same problem. Kept getting message of waiting for activation or check network connections. I also tried every solution out there and nothing worked. This did though: I download the newest version of itunes (through Internet Explorer - Google Chrome wouldn't work). It pulled in my entire library thank goodness and then I plugged my iphone 4s into the computer. I let itunes find it, did a complete backup in icloud, then did a restore. Entire process took a couple of hours, but I now have imessage and facetime back. I was about ready to give up on Apple and go get a different phone ~

N97 doesn't send text messages?

I purchased my N97 on release date, and up until now, it has been texting fine, however, as of yesterday I have been unable to send text messages and when I attempt to, they just sit in the outbox telling me to retry sending them later.
I can receive messages perfectly fine and I am on O2-UK, if that's any help?
Please could someone help? It's getting kind of annoying...

This is an airtime supplier issue. Contact O2 and confirm they have not changed your contract settings and ask them to txt you the correct settings to your phone, have answered many posts on this subject, it is inevitably down to O2,Vodafone,Orange,T-moblile etc etc. They all seem to have been messing about with settings last few weeks, I had similar prob, and took 5 calls for someone to realize they had removed the service from my contract. Be persistant with them !
Good Luck

I am having the same issue with my daughters phones. I believe its an issue with Pantech. My daughter has a Pantech Crux and is able to make calls, receive calls, and send text messages but she is not able to receive any messages. My other daughter has a Pantech Hotshot and is having the exact same issue. We contacted Verizon and went through all of the troubleshooting necessary and even reset the phone and it still didn't work. Verizon sent out a replacement phone today (Crux) and the issue is still not resolved. This tells me it's an issue with Pantech... maybe a software update was done?? Both of my daughters are teenagers and mainly communicate through text messaging, so I am sure anyone can understand that they are in crisis LOL. Any suggestions on what to do next?

Why can't I send text messages form my ipad anymore?

WHy can't I send text messages from my ipad anymore?

You will have to be a lot more specific about the issue you are having if you expect to get any help. What exactly is happening?

I just purchased a note 3. Everything works well except I cannot send text messages. I can receive them, but I get an error message when I try to send them

Can anyone tell me why I cannot send text messages on my note 3? I can receive them, but when I attempt to send them I get an error message unable to send . . . It's a brand new phone.

Congratulations on your new phone, Nonaleigh.
We would love to get to the bottom of your message mystery.
I'm guessing you are getting the error for all messages you attempt to send, is that correct?
What type of phone did you upgrade from? We ask because if you have switched from an Apple device (e.g., iPhone) to a non-Apple device (e.g., Android, Blackberry, etc.) and previously used the iMessage service, you may experience issues sending/receiving SMS/MMS messages with Apple device users. You need to deactivate the iMessage service within your Apple account to restore normal SMS/MMS functionality.
