SMS texts wont go through even tho there's no red ! saying they failed

Hi everyone. Recently I noticed that anytime I send an SMS it doesn't get received by the recipient despite my phone appearing as if it was succesfully sent. I've tried restoring my recently purchased iphone 4s, resetting it, restarting it, turning imessage on then back off in hopes that would kick back in SMS's functionality and got nothing. SMS is "on" in the settings and was working perfectly until at least midnight last night.  All SMS I've sent have appeared to have gone through yet after receiving no replies, I confirmed with everyone that it's not just me being unpopular; my texts werent received.  Also I received a call asking why I wasn't responding to the many texts someone sent me that I then learned I never received.  I spoke with a rep from AT&T and they assured me that it had to be a software problem with Apple because my mom was having the same issue (I still fail to see how that would relieve AT&T of culpability regarding the matter). Anyhow that got me thinking it could an ios6 glitch. I called my girlfriend who uses a non-Apple phone also with AT&T and asked her to send my mom a text seeing that none of the ones she sent me were ever received; it never went through.  Finally I called my girlfriend and asked her if she could text a few people and see if they text back in order to see if it was an At&T issue.  A few minutes later she called me to let me know she received a reply text indicating her text was successfully sent, ruling out it being an AT&T network matter.  Also it may not matter much, but the person who sent her a reply text was using an iphone 4 with a Verizon contract (I'm not sure which OS).  I then spoke with Apple online in a chat and they told me it definetly wasn't their software because iMessage was still able to function.  I wouldn't care if everyone I knew with a cell phone was using an iphone with an active appleid because then I could just immesage them; but that's not the case.  Has anyone else experienced this issue or anything close to it regarding SMS failure to be received? And if so, do you have any advice as to how to get your phone working when both companies involved are engaging in a Mexican standoff of finger pointing? I scheduled a genius appt. so for the meantime I'm just trying to search for answers in case the best advice I get from them is to take it and return it, in which case I'll have to eat a $35 re-stocking fee

Issue resolved; after insisting AT&T double check services, I was told texting services failed to transfer during the upgrade transfer.

  • My voicemail alert wont go away even though there are no voicemails

    my voicemail alert wont go away even though there are no voicemails, i have tried turning notifications off and restarting the phoe. the little red circle above the phone icon wont dissapear on the home screen, and the red circle above the voicemail icon wont go away either.

    Make sure you tap on Recent in the Phone app. I've found that when the red badge shows up for a missed call/voicemail it means I need to go to the recent calls view as well to clear out that notice.

  • MMS Text wont go through....:(

    I have (or thought I have) downloaded the update to my iphone for mms texts. However, when I go to send a picture, it wont go through....help!

    Check to make sure you have at least OS 3.1 installed on your iphone. If not connect the iphone to iTunes and check for updates again by clicking Update" on the Summary Tab. If you have at least 3.1 installed follow this article. Also make sure your carrier settings are up to date as these settings is what gives you the MMS feature. Hope this helps!!

  • Some amounts was posted to Price Diff Account even tho there was no price d

    Hi Experts,
    Users have a few AP Invoice which they have some typo, thus they canceled it by copying the whole invoice to AP Credit Note (w/o changing anything).
    But when they try to cancel it, it says u201CGL Account is missingu201D.
    After I try to search high and low for this GL Account, I couldnu2019t find anything. Thus I asked the users to u201CRight click > Duplicateu201D the rows in the AP Credit Note (delete the original), and then I was able to add it successfully OK.
    But after the AP Credit Note is added, we checked back the JE posted by system, we realized some amount was posted to the u201CPrice Difference Accountu201D (which is not correct, because there was no price differences between the invoice and cn at all).
    Have you experienced smth like this before?
    Warmest Regards,
    Chinho

    Hi Chin,
    The target Document uses the same G/L accounts than the Base Document, and maybe the G/L account was entered in the Account Determination after the Invoice was added.
    regards

  • Outlook 2013 not showing attachment icon even tho there is one.

    This quite a weird bug. Outlook 2013 is not showing any icons regarding attachments however there is an attachment!
    Why is this happening? Any idea?
    Best regards,
    Aleksei.

    Hi Aleksei,
    This might has something to do with your current view setting to your folders. Please check if
    Attachment has been added into "Show these columns in this folder" list in
    Show Columns dialog:
    Select the mail folder
    Go to View tab on the ribbon
    Go to View Settings>Columns...
    Select Attachment from Available columns: list, then click
    Add-> button.
    Hope this helps.

    It's recommended to download and install
    Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office
    programs.
    Unfortunately, Attachment option is already selected and if I scroll down I see the icon on different emails.

  • Premiere Elements 13 unable to burn due to "insufficient" space, even tho there's 200 GB of space

    I loaded an mp4 into Premiere Elements 13, on Windows 7 64 bit pc, 16 GB RAM.  i tried to burn it to HDD and DVD. it said 3.3 GB needed.  my HDD has 200 GB free, yet both burns said: INSUFFICIENT DISK SPACE ON DRIVE FOR CREATING TEMPORARY BURNING FILES.
    what's wrong?

    tomblastoff
    The answer should be in the message that you presented
    INSUFFICIENT DISK SPACE ON DRIVE FOR CREATING TEMPORARY BURNING FILES
    emphasis on "temporary burning files". That points you to the "Encoded Files Folder" in the 13.0 Folder.
    For Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit computer in use
    Libraries/Documents/Adobe/Premiere Elements/13.0
    You would be amazed at how much activity goes on there during a burn to.
    Check Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Disks and Disc Encoding to verify the location of the Encoded Files Folder and how much free
    space is there. Then, during a burn to, look at the activity in the Encoded Files Folder as the burn to progresses.
    Please review and consider.
    Thank you.

  • I'm not able to sync my Ipod with Itunes.  It's there, but even manually there is an error saying syncing didn't work.

    A while back I had to restore my laptop to factory settings due to a virus.  Until that time, I was able to sync my newer Ipod Touch 4th Generation.  Now, even though when I connect my Ipod, it shows it there, I am unable to sync it with my Itunes on my laptop.  Therefore, I cannot get all my music onto the Ipod.  I tried to troubleshoot.  It said to go under my Ipod and manually sync, but when I clicked the "sync" but, after a few minutes an error came up saying "Could not sync.  Sync failed to start."  Anyone know what I can do?

  • Receive iMessage and SMS text in one window

    I was wondering if anyone knows of a setting or whether its even possible to receive an iMessage from an iPad and a SMS text from a non Apple phone within one chat window when they both are coming from the same person. Someone text's me throughout the day from her non iPhone. When she gets home and hops on her iPad, she sends me messages from iMessage. This opens two different chat windows. Any way to fix this?

    I'm sorry, Apple will not read this. They do not participate in the forum. If you would like to provide them with feedback about this, you can do that HERE. Then click on the appropriate link. While switching between iMessage and SMS in a single conversation is possible, remember as I said, you are conducting two separate conversations, because they are coming from two separate devices, that are actually crossing platforms.
