Some text messages not received or are empty

Some text messages not received or are empty, I have been using the Verizon app because I like it but I have also seen issues with Textra. Basically some messages have been empty but last night I sent a text to someone and it sent and delivered and the person never got it. I have wifi enabled at home which was where it happened and I do use a network extender due to the weak coverage but I have a great signal with it and voice was clear last night since I received a call, is anyone else having issues?
I am using Nova Launcher which shouldn't matter. Everything else works great and I love the phone.
Thanks

I, too, have been having many problems with not receiving text messages.  I have been dealing with this crap for 6 weeks now!!  I don't receive texts from various people, and it is very sporadic.  It shows in their sent box, but NEVER shows up in my inbox.  I have talked to about 8 different reps from VW and they keep coming up with excuses.  We have tried EVERYTHING!  They have even sent me a different phone and I am still having this problem.  I just got off the phone (again!) with them and they are sending me ANOTHER phone.  I have asked to get out of my contract with no ETF, but, of course, they won't allow that to happen.  They keep telling me that I "have to work with them"!!  Like I haven't given them several chances already!  My job is in jeopardy because my boss texted me something; I never received it; and he was NOT happy!!  He told me to "get the problem fixed"...I don't feel VW is living up to their end of the contract and I feel like I am paying a lot of money every month for an unreliable service.  I am pursuing reporting this to the FCC.  Needless to say, I got very angry with the last 2 people I have spoken with at VW and used some colorful language!  Does anybody have any suggestions on what I can do next (before I lose my job!!)!!

  • My iPhone 5 with latest version of iOS 6 won't receive some text messages (not iMessages)

    My IPhone 5 with latest version of ios 6 won't receive some text messages. All text messages not received are from different people on the same carrier (not mine). Some messages come through if they repeatedly send them. I have tried resetting network settings. This fixes the issue for 10 minutes or so before I don't receive the messages again. I dont have iMessage on and I've tried a restore.

    Hi,
    I had the same issue.
    After resetting the network settings everything works fine again.
    YouTube App and the videos you posted above didn't play.
    After resetting, they are playable.
    Try it out.
    Best regards,
    Tolga

  • Text messages not received

    Greetings all,
    Just had an odd experience.
    I was in the same room as a colleague. Both of us had iPhones.
    She texted me: the text never arrived.
    We checked that she had my number right: she did.
    I then texted her and — bing! — my text arrived on her iPhone.
    Texted her again — bing! — no problem.
    She texted me from the same "account" beneath the two texts that I'd sent her.
    Nothing.
    Any thoughts how we might re-establish two-way communications?
    Thanks!

    Something is wrong w ith her sending iMessages;
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2755 (Firstly) if this doesn't work resetting network settings and trying again can help
    Ensure that iMessage is turned on in Settings > Messages.
    To send and receive iMessages, your device must have a valid cellular or Wi-Fi data connection.

    iMessage registration validates your Apple ID for use with iMessage. If you are unable to activate iMessage, follow this article.
    If an iMessage cannot be sent, it will be resent using SMS or MMS, depending on the content. You can turn this behavior on or off in Settings > Messages > Send As SMS. Carrier messaging rates may apply.

  • Certain Text messages not received by certain iphone users

    hi, i am not receiving certain text messages from certain iphone users. I previously had a iphone 4 and i already turned off the imessage on the phone.

    Hello Justinwong221,
    Have no fear, help is here! I can help with receiving text from iPhone users. I'm glad to see that you have turned off iMessage. The next step is to delete the entire text conversation from your phone and the mobile numbers that you are having issues with and start a new conversation. If the old conversation was originated with iMessage then the issue will not be resolved until the entire thread is deleted on both devices. While this can be tedious, depending on how many iPhone users you know, this is a major step in getting this resolved. Once you have done so then please keep us posted.
    Thank you...

  • ALLY Text Messages not received

    I've sent text messages successfully most times.  However, lately, people aren't receiving them (even though it shows they were successfully sent) or are receiving them inconsistently. Why might this be happening? How can I tell if they really went through?

    Try doing a soft reset on the device by powering the device off , then removing the battery about 1 minute, then powering the device back on and dialing *228 send and option 2.  
    You can set delivery reports in message settings.  
    Delivery Receipt (also known as Delivery Acknowledgement, Delivery Report, or DAK) provides an indicator flag on sent messages notifying a user that a particular message has been successfully delivered to the recipient’s device. It is typically available on Mobile to Mobile (i.e., VZW-to-VZW) text (SMS) messages and on most picture / video (MMS) messages.
    In messages, press the menu key.

  • Text messages not received after iPhone restore

    My phone screen broke (iphone 5) and I had my phone off for the majority of the day until I bought a new phone later that night. My question is, when I restored my new iPhone 6 to a 2 day old back-up during the setup process, I was expecting to see what messages (text & iMessage) I received during the day on my iPhone 5, but none of the text messages showed up on my new iPhone 6 after the restore. Is there anyway of receiving the text messages sent to me before I restored to the new iPhone?

    You only get data back that was included in your backup.

  • Some of my contact names are not appearing when they text message me.  They are just showing up as their numbers. I have them saved in my phone so i am not really sure why their names aren't showing up when they message me?

    some of my contact names are not appearing when they text message me.  They are just showing up as their numbers. I have them saved in my phone so i am not really sure why their names aren't showing up when they message me?

    I have this identical problem.  For a while my group texts didnt show up on my ipad.  Then one day they did, maybe everyone in the group started using the same os version or something.  Ever since my first reply to the group there have been complaints of multiple threads.  I can not find a pattern for when my group text's decide they want to create a new thread. (it doesnt happen every time)  Everyone in the group has deleted the thread, we've all toggled imessage on/off etc.  There still hasn't been a solution.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Since upgrading to iOS7 some text messages are not being sent, iMessage on my Ipad and MacBook doesn't have my phone number registered and my reminder colour on my Iphone keeps changing ... among other things

    Since upgrading to iOS7 some text messages are not being sent on my iPhone 5, iMessage on my Ipads and MacBook doesn't have my phone number registered and my reminder colour on my Iphone keeps changing ... among other things. Any suggestions to fix these faults?

    Make sure People Sending you via iMessage are sending their messages on your PHONE number not on your EMAIL addresses . My sister had the same problem, thats how i managed to solve it!

  • I am not receiving some texts messages as of 2 days ago

    Please help. I am new to the site. My iPhone 4s just started not receiving some text messages in the last 2 days. Any ideas?

    There's a small vocabulary issue here.
    "Reset" means a specific action, which does not involve iTunes at all.  You reset your iPhone by holding the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.  You could try that - it's risk free - but probably would not work.
    "Restore" (not reset) is something you do using iTunes.  Plug your iPhone into iTunes on your computer (current version: 11.1.3).  Let it sync.  Then choose "Restore" from the iPhone's summary tab in iTunes.

  • Text messages being receive twice by some recipients

    Text messages being receive twice by some recipients:
    I have had a couple of contacts tell me they are receiving text messages I send from the Z10 twice.
    Not everyone thou. I've asked. I'm sending from Rogers to a Rogers user. They both have 9700's.
    Any ideas?

    Anyway, I followed the steps you provided, and changed all of the settings including <-- Settings <-- FaceTime and Settings <-- Messages <-- Use your Apple ID for messages.
    Just to be clear, while you have to use an Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime, you should not be using that e-mail address to receive at or send from since you're using your father's ID.  Later in your post it sounds like you de-selected e-mail addresses that were not yours, which is correct, but I wanted to make sure you understand that you should not be using this ID for a contact point since it is not yours.
    If your father is still getting your text messages from your friends, I suspect that either:
    (a) after making these changes you need to turn iMessage and FaceTime off for a brief period, then turn back on, or
    (b) your friends are replying to older messages that you sent from your father's Apple ID, or
    (c) your father's iPhone somehow has your e-mail entered as one of the possible contact points for his iPhone.
    If the cause is (a) turn iMessage and FaceTime back on since you've already turned them off.
    If the cause is (b) see the last paragraph of my 1st post.  Send your friends a new iMessage and tell them to only reply to that conversation and delete prior conversations.
    If the cause is (b) have your father de-select (or remove) your e-mail address from his iMessage and FaceTime settings.

  • 'imessage' turned off and not getting some texts message

    Hi
    I have turned 'imessage off on my iphone 5.. Now im not getting some texts messages from people.
    I have had it turn off all the time as i run a group text app. I did the current 'software update' and it turned imessage back on. I didnt realise for a few days. I have now turned it off. BUT now im not receiving some peoples texts??? any ideas what to do??
    Thanks

    Those messages are probably queued up waiting to be delivered
    Try turning iMessage on for a brief period and see what happens
    If you permanently want to not use iMessage you should consider de registering your number

  • My phone won't send outgoing mail.  Won't send some text messages and now when it's not on wireless and only 3g the internet won't load.  Help!

    These are ongoing problems.  I really want to go back to my android.  This moring the problem was sending outgoing mail.  I have done a restart.  I have cleared my cookies.  Some text messages I have to send twice to non-apple phones.  When I'm not on wireless and I'm on 3g there is no point in even trying the internet.  Very disappointed in this phone. 

    if your having issue with your 3G service, then you should contact your cell phone provider as they handle cellular networks.
    in the mean time you can try a reset, hold down the home/power button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for you phone to boot back up.

  • Cannot send or receive some text messages

    I just got the iphone 4s, and am having problems sending and receiving some text messages, it is saying "Message Send Failure"

    Same problem persists also here. Have crosschecked with friend, all same settings, have deleted the contacted, created again, still that number does not receive my SMS (no question on iMessage). Can not even reply her message. This problem persists with few numbers, nothing common, different phones, different countries, different operators. All others, with different operators, in different coutries receive my messages. Even other people can send their SMS to her.
