SMS texts not sending on iPhone 6

Hello, need some help!! I just got my iPhone 6 and it's worked perfectly until today. I can't send SMS (green) txts. I can receive them but can't reply. I can send & receive iMessages though. It happened right after I recieved a picture txt from a non-iPhone user that wasn't in my contacts. I've checked all my settings and everything appears to be right. It was working just fine one minute & then suddenly, after receiving the picture txt, I haven't been able to send any SMS texts.

Thanks VanessaS_VZW.... The error message I was receiving was "Not Delivered". I live in Canada and was at home last night and connected to the ROGERS Network when I was having difficulties. Although it was working fine for the first 2 hours at home, it suddenly stopped and began giving me the "Not Delivered" error message. Once I crossed the border into Michigan for work this morning and connected to the VERIZON Network, I was again able to send messages. I will try your recommendation above (Resetting Network Settings) if the same should happen tonight when I return home from work.

SMS texts, not Imessages, on multiple phones with the same Apple ID

Is it possible that outgoing and incoming SMS texts, not imessages, could be seen on two seperate Iphones that share the same Apple ID? I'm wondering because I have been SMS texting a friend about a gift for my husband and I'm wondering if he was able to read them.
Thanks!

Outgoing or Incoming texts? I was texting with a person with an iphone that is one the same network, if that matters. But they were all green, so i know they were SMS.

Is there anyway to text or sms a note on the iPhone?

Is there any way to text message a note or an email?
So what if I need to send quite a lot of information via text message (because say, someone doesn't have email access) but I don' t want to type out a long message on my iPhone. Perhaps I have a lot of information already emailed to me and I need to forward it by text message.
So, i can't copy and paste, so can I not create a note on my mac, then sync it to my iPhone and then text message it?
At least on any normal mobile phone in the past I could create a note in, say, TextEdit and then save it. I could then send it to my phone via bluetooth and then text message the note.
Is there anything remotely possible like this on the iPhone?
Any help would be appreciated

Thanks for your responses.
I did overlook the fact that you can send free sms's via the web. However, this wouldn't solve the problem of, say, being away from a computer when receiving an email with complicated details you wanted to then sms to somebody else.
Then again if I could copy and paste on the iPhone it would solve all of this.
It is a very frustrating missing function on the iPhone. I hope they sort it out soon.
BTW I have found apps that allow you to export sms's direct from your iPhone, but you cannot import:

Sms messaging not working on iPhone 6

I Have iPhone 6 + with iOS of 8.0.2. It seems that I am having trouble sending and receiving certain text messages. I believe they are SMS text messages. Help!

New SMS text not going directly to address book

In my messages folder, when I select "Compose SMS Text" the options are limited to Phone or Email, and not my address book. I did not change any settings, this just appeared out of the blue. Could anyone here help?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I'm a little confused by your statement, could you try and re-phrase it please
In the meantime, try a Battery Pull:
1. Remove the battery while phone is turned on
2. Wait a few seconds before inserting it again
3. Allow the long boot up process to finish (takes a few minutes usually)
This clears most software issues that occur on blackberries from time to time. You could also use Quickpull, a free app that simulates a battery pull without physically removing the battery: http://software.crackberry.com/product.asp?id=27660
A battery pull reclaims memory lost during application usage and clears minor software errors that creep in over time. The blackberry runs an OS just like your PC runs windows and the battery pull is the equivalent of a reboot/restart on your computer.

SMS Text not in Options?

Hi, I have searched the forum in regards to the pop up saying my SIM Card is full delete messages etc., and I do know that I have gone back to Options (after reading it here) and said NO to saving messages on it. I have also removed my battery while phone was on, but am still receiving message. Now when I go to Options, nowhere in there (and all files are as "show all") is there anything in regards to SMS text messages. I do have a folder named SMS but it is empty?
All went squirrely after I did an update on OS 6, not an upgrade, just an update that was offered. Icons have moved around that I'm not able to move, even when following directions again, from this site.
Wondering if I should restore settings, I believe it's called, and if I were to do so, what exactly that would effect? Or if anyone has other suggestions it would be most appreciated.
My thanks,
Donna

Hi
I suppose the update was direct to the BB? Whilst these do work most of the time there is scope for all kinds of things to occure.
I do not know if what you describe is a feature of OS 6 or not but there is nothing to prevent you reverting to to OS 5 and this is how to go about it
This what I did to completely wipe my BB. I wrote this before starting and printed it off.
If your device is functioning, perform a backup now if you haven't already done so saving the file to a place and in a name that you can easily locate on computer.
I then uninstalled DTM and then deleted all other references to BB/Rim in Windows Explorer thus removing the OS for the BB from the computer in order to ensure that the version I would reinstall would be a brand new downloaded version.
Get the latest Desk Top Software (DTS)
http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/?CPID=OTC-DSKTPSW&cp=OTC-DSKTPSW
and install it on the computer.
Get the correct latest version of the OS
http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
and save it to computer.
To erase all the data on your BlackBerry device, complete the following steps.
1) Download JL_Cmder from http://www.4shared.com/get/oqP9V-2Q/JL_Cmder_v19.html
2) Install JL_Cmder to computer.
3) Double check you have already backed-up the BB. If you DO NOT, you will lose ALL data.
4) Make sure the DTS is closed and plug in the BB to computer via USB
5) Go to the JL_Cmder on your computer and double click it to start. Now,this may take a few tries to connect, so keep trying until it does.
6) On the first screen, Press any key to continue.
7) Now, if your device uses a password, enter it now. If not, press "N"
8) Press 4 to initiate the WIPE
9) Press "Y" to continue
10) Now type "blackberry" to continue
11) On the BB you will see a white screen with a'507' Error. Don't worry, this is what you want! You are now ready to install the OS.
Launch the new Desk Top Software on the computer
1). On the home screen of the BlackBerry® Desktop Software, click Device > Update my device.
2). Click View Other Versions. Click the version of the new OS you previously downloaded.
3). Click Install. The DTM will install the OS and then provide you with a list of applications to install. If you have had difficulties with an app, do not install it.
Do not disconnect the device until the whole process is completed and the device has rebooted.
After 10 minutes reboot again by removing the battery whilst powered-on and leave it out for a couple of minutes.
Leave it again for 10 minutes. You should now have a fully functioning BB!

Texts not sending

Random texts to one recipient are not sending... I can receive hers and can send some but she does not receive all... any ideas? TX.

RGFBarbie, Greetings, and welcome to the BlackBerry.com Community Support Forums.
Do a simple reboot on the BlackBerry in this manner: With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery to reboot. A reboot in this manner is prescribed for most glitches and operating system errors, and you will lose no data on the device doing this.

How to send text NOT iMessage to iPhone users

I have an iPhone on iOs 8.1.2. I do not have data, so whenever I try to send a normal text message, the other person receives my text message and sends a text back, but I do not receive it until I have wifi. How can I text and receive text messages without this iMessage feature between iPhones?

Sending messages solely over text requires you to completely disable your Wi-Fi and cellular data connection, or change a few settings within the Settings app.
There are two ways:
Disable iMessage to Send as SMS:
Tap the Settings app>select the "Message" option>Set the "iMessage" toggle switch to the "Off" position>Tap the Messages app and send your text message
Or: Disable Wi-Fi and Cellular Data to Send as SMS
Tap the Settings app and select the "Wi-Fi" option>Set the "Wi-Fi" toggle switch to the "Off" position>return to the Settings page>Choose the "General" option>Select "Cellular" >Set the Cellular data toggle switch to the "Off" position>Send your text message as normal.
Hope it is helpful.

I have an iPhone 4 and the new ios7 platform. Why are texting not sending?

I downloaded and installed the new ios7 platform to my iPhone4 and now I cant get text messages out. Texts that people send to me arent arriving until days later. Apps are crashing. Calls are being dropped. My phone basically no longer works. When I can expect a fix to this? Thank you!

Could be a contact problem. There are certain places inside the headset port where proper contact is needed for the various functions the Apple headset has, for example the Remote/microphone unit that cheaper headphones don't have.
You should have your phone checked by an Authorized Apple Service provider or by visiting an Apple Store next to your place.

Random texts not sending

I have the iPhone 4. The other day i began having issues with texting. Certain people that I texted earlier in the day were suddenly not getting through to them, or from them to me. They would get a message saying their number was blocked. I would just get the Message Send Failure error. But the confusing thing is it only happens with certain contacts. And there is no rhyme or reason to who I can text and who I cant. Checked to see if it was certain carriers or phones, nothing was the same. I called Verizon and they went over everything with me and told me its definitely an issue with the iPhone itself. Does anyone know what the problem could be??

i've now discovered its the right side of my sleep/wake button that doesnt work, the left side works perfectly...
that is annoying! i've been putting my phone in my pocket thinking i've locked it and been still texting and calling random people. (oops)
I better set my lock screen to seconds instead of minutes I suppose until I get it repaired or replaced ....

Email not sending from iPhone 4S anymore

I have set up my hotmail in my Mail app on my iPhone 4S. I used to be able to send emails from my phone however now when I try and send a box pops up and says this:
Cannot Get Mail. The mail server "pop3.live.com" is not responding. Verify that you have entered the correct account info in Mail settings.
Though I could still receive my emails.
Also a more recent problem is my emails are just not downloading at all anymore...
Any ideas why this is happenning?

Same here. The emails do arrive if you send them from the iCloud website, but not from the Mac or the iPhone.
I just confirmed that's what's happening with mine as well. I sent some from iCloud.com and it worked fine but not from iPhone or Mac.
I've been hearing that Siri and iMessage have also been having issues (nothing official - just word of mouth and similar discussions like this.) I wouldn't be surprised, though, as I imagine all these new services are putting quite the strain on the Apple servers.
I have also been having issues over the last couple of days which I assume are related. When using Mail on Mac or iPhone I intermittently receive errors that my password is incorrect.

SMS does not open in iphone 3g after installing os4

After installing OS4, the SMS box does not open for hours. I end up trying 80-100 times before it opens. I have tried restoring the phone and re-installing. Also notified apple help desk. I bought this phone in India for USD800. The so called upgrade has rendered my phone useless. Never again will ever buy an Iphone. Feel like smashing this trash on jobs' head......

It's funny how multitasking doesn't work on the 3G iPhone with iOS 4, but it works PERFECTLY on a jailbroken iPhone running OS 3 (and with previews!) Pathetic.

Mail will not send from iPhone on .Mac Account!

This is weird. From my .Mac account when I try to send an email message, I get the "Cannot Access Outgoing Mail Server", whereas if I set up a Gmail account on the same phone, it sends just fine.
I've deleted and re-created the account, restored, updated, software, and all the above again, been to the Genius Bar -- yet remain stymied. Is there some simple solution I've overlooked?

Your problem is with Cox and Cox not having an authenticated SMTP server.
Not many ISPs provide an authenticated SMTP server and I'm not sure why - especially with laptops and devices such as the iPhone so popular.
I'm a Time Warner/RoadRunner customer for cable and internet access and I quit using my RR email account several years ago for this very reason. I switched to using my .Mac account as my primary personal email account which has an authenticated SMTP server. I'm able to send messages with the account regardless the internet service provider used for internet access. My business POP account also has an authenticated SMTP server and no problems sending with this account either - via a number of different Wi-Fi connections and EDGE.
I suggest seriously considering switching to another email account. A Gmail account is free, can be accessed as a POP or IMAP account with the email client on your computer as well as with the iPhone's email client, has a good spam filter at the incoming mail server, and has an authenticated SMTP server.
If you ever move or decide to change your ISP from Cox to a different ISP, your email account and address will not need to change. You can access and send messages with a Gmail account with any ISP - the same with a .Mac account. And you'll have much more server storage space than Cox provides.

Text not sending

I have a Lumina 822 and it will receive text messages but won't send. Can anyone help? I have restarted, removed and replaced the Sim card but to no avail.

Hello sjtracer,
Help is my middle name! Let's get your Lumia 822 sending text messages again. May I ask are you using the stock text messaging app? Also, how much available device memory do you have? If you do not have at least 2GB of device memory available then I would suggest making more memory available, reboot the device, and retest. Once you have done so, please keep us updated on the results.
Thank you...
