My blackberry curve wont let me receive or send text messages

This very strange JulianPrice! When did this messaging issue start? Are you able to send /receive message to any contact? Is this issue with SMS only or MMS as well? What messaging application do you use? What is your current ZIP code? Do you have the latest available software for your phone? Please answer these questions and we'll explore options to resolve.

Unable to send texts messages containing the letter é anywhere in the text

I am unable to send ANY text that contains the character é as in Pokémon since January on my Droid Razr... prior to January it sent just fine, but the message just hangs in the 'sending' and NEVER gets sent!!! the recipient NEVER receives the text and it NEVER goes into failed status!!!! just hanging in 'sending' mode!!!! only does this on Verizon Wireless phone... so frustrating as my nerd friends like it and I prefer to type Pokémon rather than Pokemon!!!

What happens when you try to send a message? If you get an error message,
what is the exact complete wording of that message?
Are you using iMessage or a 3rd party app?
Is your account properly provisioned for messaging if using other than iMessage?

Sending text messages to the wrong recipient

Until OS 4.0 I had sent maybe a handful of texts to the wrong person. No biggie. Totally my fault. Then OS 4 brought a change in the way your phone loads the MMS app when a at least one text is ignored from2 or more different phone numbers. Prior to OS 4 when you unlocked your phone after ignoring a text for each of at least two different phone numbers your phone by default would open the conversation from the most recent text message recieved. It was predictable. Then you could selectively choose who you would respond to. It always defaulted to the most recent text received.
After OS 4 when the aforementioned scenario takes place the iPhone now randomly chooses one of the conversations of one of the texts that has been ignored. Since this change i have sent the wrong message to the person dozens of times. This is an aweful update and makes not logical sense. Is there a way to vhange this back to the previous method or if I get enough people to submit requests can this pleaze be changed back. Every single person I personally know running OS 4 hates this feature and wishes for the old way bafk. Please listen Apple!!

I agree. This was a really bad move by Apple. Having a text conversation with someone and your SMS goes to the wrong recipient is a really, really irritating feature of iOS 4

My phone won't make or receive calls or send text messages after the iOS 8.1.1 update.

My phone will no longer make or receive calls and I can't text after upgrading to iOS 8.1.1. I've tried everything except chucking the phone out the window. Any ideas? I have reset it multiple times, turned it off and back on, reset the network settings, reset all settings, toggled the airplane mode switch, and done a complete factory restoration. What else is there to do? I can't get a new phone for another year.

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.
Iphone 5 8.1.1

I have an iPhone 5c that was purchased 10 months ago,, suddenly i can no longer make or receive phone calls, send text messages and the time is always wrong

I have an iPhone 5s that no longer makes nor receives phone call, the time will never stay corrected. Anyone with any thoughts?

samjohns146,
Making sure you can use your phone when you need it is certainly a concern of every consumer. I am sorry to hear you are having trouble with your phone but you have reached the right place for assistance. Has your phone completed any recent software updates at all? Let's try resetting the network settings http://vz.to/1ovdCBD to see if that resolves the issue. Please keep us posted on the outcome.

Anyone have a problem sending text messages being delivered after few minutes up to five minutes?

Has anyone have a problem sending text messages and the messages won't get delivered after few minutes? From time to time I would have this problem and it's annoying. I would expect someone to receive it by then and response to my text right away. But when I look up the text it hasn't been delivered and it's in the process. I would hear that the message get delivered after few minutes? What gives? I never had a problem with my iphone 4 i think? Now with iOS 5 it let's me know whether it is delivered or not. This new feature is awesome but disappointing when I know my text hasn't been delivered right away. I'm not sure if it's the software or my iphone 4s or my carrier? anyone suggestions? Thanks!!

HT201263 My IPhone4 won't send text message to anyone.

My Iphone won't send text message to anyone. It always say fail and give me a red sign. I already reset it and turn it of and back on. It won't give me a number to choose from and will give me my email account. I call sprint and they say that my IPhone4 is a detective phone/don't work. I was wondering if anyone knew how to fix it?
It always say waiting for activation and what is SIM
Everything on my IPhone4 work but my message.

This is probably a carrier issue; have you talked to Sprint about this problem? Your complaint was truncated, so it appears to say a "conversation open" at the end. If this is the case then the device is sending text messages, and the other party is receiving them. If this is occurring then it sounds like a problem with the receiving party or carrier.

TS2755 My wife and I both have iPhone 5s, I can't send text messages to non iPhone people that I use to but iPhone people I can, My wife can send text to non iPhone numbers. I have checked and we both have the same settings.

The ability to see and send calendar invites is a function of the calendar you are subscribing to and who owns it. We need more information, like what calendar are you subscribing to? MS Exchange? Google? Mobile Me?

After I upgraded my iphone 4 with the ios 7.1.1 it locks up sending text messages. It will send a few, then mid conversation I will have to turn my phone off and back on, sometimes a few times, before it will allow me to send or receive messages again.

After I upgraded my Iphone 4 with the ios 7.1.1 it locks up while sending text messages. I can usually send a few then will have to restart my phone(often more than once) to get it to send and receive messages again. I have done a back up and complete reset and that has not fixed the problem. Have been told that the ios 7.1.1 just isn't compatible with the Iphone 4 so that's why it is locking up so often, but I am hoping someone else may have a better answer since it can't be undone. Thanks!

7.1.1 is certainly compatible with the iPhone 4. Just try a reset first.
Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

Is it possible to use Siri to send text messages to groups? I want to be able to say to Siri "Send a text message to the people in 'group 4' category." I then dictate the text message, confirm, and out it goes. Groups of 100 to 250 contacts.

Is it possible to use Siri to send text messages to groups (categories, distribution lists)? I want to be able to say to Siri "Send a text message to the people in 'group 4' category." I then dictate the text message, confirm, and out it goes. Groups of 100 to 250 contacts. What app(s), if any, would I need? Is this in anyway dependent on my carrier?
Thanks in advance for your help.
