SMS messages not getting through

using iOS 5.0.1 on a 3GS. If I have iMessaging turned on and I text someone who has a phone other than an iPhone, they don't get the text. I DO have the "Send as SMS when iMessage is unavailable" button checked. I also DO select the person's mobile phone number, NOT their email, when I'm texting them. I have experimented several times just now with a friend and they are NOT getting texts from me. This seems like an awfully basic, awfully serious, awfully annoying bug.
I am now in the middle of experimenting to see if I can text at all if it's not iMessaging. I have turned iMessaging off, and as far as I can tell my texts are STILL not getting through. So, as far as I can tell, there is no way for me to text now. What's the problem?
Rich R.

@Rich,
I'm on Fido/Rogers (Canada) not AT&T, so my experience may not be applicable. But I have found in the past that older versions of SIM cards would not work properly in newer phones, and vice versa. Not just iPhones, but in general. SIM cards have different capabilities, varying amounts of internal memory, and different interface specs. It's plausible that the vintage of SIM that shipped with your 3G (or whatever you had before) might be slightly incompatible with the 3GS.
Another gotcha that I've encountered is the phone number (server address) of the SMSC that is programmed into the SIM. Large wireless carriers often (usually) have a number of different SMSCs distributed around their network. It's possible that they changed your designated SMSC. If your SIM still points at the old SMSC (and AT&T has moved you to a different one), that might explain your SMS problems. On the other hand, if the SIM you are using is the one that shipped from AT&T with your 3GS, then this is probably a red herring. Still, I think it would be useful to put the SIM into a non-iPhone and see if you can send/receive texts, just to verify that it's not a network problem.
Programming of the proper SMSC into one's SIM card can be done over the air -- the carrier sends a specially-formatted SMS message to the phone, and the phone then updates the data in the SIM card. You might call AT&T and ask them to do so.
I'm grasping at straws here. SIM vintage and/or SMSC configuration might have nothing to do with your problem.

My texts have stoipped getting through to one of my contacts. I can phone him and I can receive his calls and messages. I am the only one of his contacts whose texts are not getting through. We have both restarted our iphones but the problem continues.

Have you talked to your carrier (or your friend to his)? Could be an issue at their end.

I use more than one computer to access my four business email accounts. When one computer is on (and mail is open) emails do not get through to the other computers. This is fine, but how do I make one of the other computers the dominant one?

I use more than one computer to access my four business email accounts. When one computer is on (and mail is open) emails do not get through to the other computers. This is fine, but how do I make one of the other computers the dominant one?

I assume these are POP accounts and all computers are set to remove from Server after downloading.
So on the non dominant ones... Mail Preferences>Accounts, highlight an account, Advanced tab, uncheck remove from Server, just have the main dominant one remove from server.
Or get/setup IMAP accounts.

Hello, I have a Macbook pro retina-2013. About Mavericks I could set my 4K monitor via HDMI on 2560x1440. This I can not get through at Yosemite. Can someone help me there?

They really pushed that it would all work great! Has anyone had the same struggle? Are there any step-by-step instructions to get linked up?
Call Verizon's wireless tech support & explain your problem to them. They will provide "step-by-step" instructions over the phone.
Take notes too!
TIP: If you do call & don't want to go through all those darn promps, when you initially call, just don't say anything. The automatic voice will then say, "will connect you to a service rep."

Support messages not getting displayed in Messages Tab - Solar01/02

Hi,
I am having an issue in displaying the support messages under the message tab of Solar01 and Solar02. If I try to create a new message, the notification pops up and also gets saved. But the message does not get displayed under the tab.
I can find that the message is properly created through transaction monitor.Even if I try to manually assign the support message number in Messages tab it gives an error saying the number does not exist.We are using SOLMAN 4.0 SP 11.
Please help. Points will be awarded for useful answers.
Regards,
J.Prabananth

Dear Prabanath,
       I am not too sure you will be able to assign numbers to support messages. Run the report CRM_DNO_MONITOR and get the full number from the report and insert the ticket number in issue messages tab and click on save and go back one screen, it will ask you if you want to save, select yes.
   That worked for me. Recently I have strugged to resolve this. We are on Solman 4.0 SP12. Check if you have all necessary permissions for you and do you have any thing in sm21 or st22 by any chance if the issue is related to support pack ?
     Let me know if there are any issues. I might be able to help you.

RAZR Verizon - SMS Message not fixed by 10.4.7

I installed the 10.4.7 update and I still can't use the "SMS Message" function in the "Address Book"
I have a Verizon RAZR V3c. iSync was updated to version 2.3. The phone synchronizes with the address book perfectly, but i would really like to use the SMS Message function.
Any Info???

Having the same problem with the SLVR, Cingular. Everything else works fine, syncing, file transfer, everything, just can't get the "SMS" or "Dial with Cell Phone" commands in the Address Book to work.
When I hit the Bluetooth button in the Address Book, it asks me to pair the devices, enter a code (I've used both 0000 and the 8 digit code given by the Bluetooth Set Up Assistant), but the SMS and Dial commands will not "un-grey."
I've also noticed that when I use the "Find Devices" command from the phone, it won't find anything, despite the fact that my computer is already paired and set to automatically accept connection. As I said, file transfer, syncing, etc. all work fine.
Everything worked fine with my SE T68i.
Anyone?

Some outgoing e mails are not getting through

Some of the people I e mail are not getting any of my e mails. I use the verizon e mail online not outlook express or any other software. Most of my e mails are getting through but not all. Anyone have an idea why this could be happening? It's not that my e mail is blocked on the other end. One of the recipients is my dad and he isn't getting my e mail. I walked him through his setup and he does not have me blocked and I am in his address book.

Is there a particular domain you are having trouble with? Are you getting any delivery delay/failure messages?

Mail not getting through to my .mac address

Everyone trying to send mail to my .mac address ([email protected]) is getting mail bounced back with this message:
"You do not have permission to send to this recipient."
What the heck is this all about? Sometimes mail gets through, but not often. Everyone is getting the same message.
How can I fix this? Help, please.
Paul Kirtley, [email protected]

Chris,
This topic did appear to be about sending, but yet the advice about Port number change would only relate to sending problems. If you are having a problem sending, while using the smtp.mac.com as the Outgoing Server, the change to Port 587 may help. This is covered in both Mail Help, and at the document at the link below:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Dotmac/Mail/en/mac31.html
If this does not help, please provide more information about your individual problem.

SMS Messages not being delivered

For the past 4 days now my SMS messages will not deliver. They say sent, but will not deliver, The person that is suppose to get them says they are not being recieved either so what are we supposed to do? Please attend to this immediately or at least tell us what to do. Thanks so much [edited for privacy] would appreciate response to this e mail address. thanks again

Same problem here,it say the SMS sent,but for the last 50 min. it's not been delivered yet.I have to mention the money went out from my account for it.I logged out and back in,changed status in hope will get it done somehow,but still nothing.
Why do we have to pay for a service that doesn't work? It's supposed to be fast and reliable(none of the abobe).My message is kinda too late now,and I doubt that I'll get my money back.
And yes..I did put the right number and the country code and so on,it's not the first time I use Skype for this.
Shame !

Problem in BADI, error message not getting displayed

Hello Experts,
I am facing a strange problem in BADI.
The requirement is that the user should not be allowed to change the plant field
on the screen of standard MM transctions for PO/PR amendment.
I have written the code in separate BADIs for PO and PR.
I am displaying an error message if the user tries to change the field.
For PO, it is working fine.But for PR, the same code is not working.
The control is going over to the BADI for PR and rest of the code is working fine.
But the error message is not getting displayed for PR amendment.
Can anybody please suggest the possible cause of problem and some solution to it.
Thanks in advance.

Messages not getting displayed in BADI

Hi experts,
I have implemented a BADI for automating FB50 in MIGO. Atlast i am using
CALL FUNCTION 'MESSAGE_TEXT_BUILD'
EXPORTING
    msgid                     = WA_MESSTAB-MSGID
    msgnr                     = WA_MESSTAB-MSGNR
   MSGV1                     = WA_MESSTAB-MSGV1
   MSGV2                     = WA_MESSTAB-MSGV2
   MSGV3                     = WA_MESSTAB-MSGV3
   MSGV4                     = WA_MESSTAB-MSGV4
IMPORTING
   MESSAGE_TEXT_OUTPUT       = WA_TEXTOUT
MESSAGE WA_TEXTOUT TYPE 'I'.
But after this message is executed...the MIGO transaction's message is getting triggered immediately. So my message is not popping up.
What to do?

When i debug the program...
I get the following things..
wa_messtab-msgid = F5
wa_messtab-msgnr = 312
wa_messtab-msgv1 = 100128404
wa_messtab-msgv2 = XYZ
wa_textout = Document 100128404 was posted in company code XYZ
and when i say
message wa_textout type 'i'.
at the output a popup window should display information in wa_textout.
But this is not happening and message of type 'S' is getting displayed...that is standard msg of MIGO
which is - Material document 5000115652 posted
I want my custom msg in wa_textout to be displayed first. before the standard MIGO msg.
