Text from Verizon IPhone 5s not received in Sweden

My texts that I send to Sweden are delivered as garbled 4-character words. This was not an issue for the same recipient when I was on a Sprint IPhone 4s (until three days ago)
I can, however, receive texts from the same recipient. This is not an IMessage issue.
Please advise.
Thanks!

Are you using WiFi or cellular data? If you're on WiFi, try turning WiFi off temporarily and test it on the cellular data network.
When the phone goes into standby, the WiFi radio will be powered down to conserve battery life after a few minutes. If you're getting messages while the phone is in standby, that may be why, if there is a problem with the WiFi network.
Have you done any troubleshooting at all?
Reboot? Reset network Settings? Reset your router? etc.?

  • TS2755 Texts from other iphone users not coming through while roaming.

    I am roaming daily in the US.  Ever since I upgraded to ios 7 my phone won't receive any texts from other iphone users unless I am on wifi.  Texts do come through from non-iphone users.  I do have cellular data shut off while roaming (I don't want to be charged roaming fees for facebook notifications, emails, etc.) but this never stopped texts from arriving before updating.  I pay $20 a month to text from the US and want to be able to utilize this feature!  Any suggestions? 

    Settings -> Messages --> see what is checked for receiving messages
    Does your iPad have 3G/4G?
    If not then most likely the messages are going to your Apple ID email
    You can uncheck that and just leave your number checked
    It should then come to your phone

  • I can send emails and texts on my iPhone but not receive

    How can it be possible that I am sending emails and texts but not receiving either?

    Hi Go to Settings email accounts delete each account then add back again. Text messages are run by your network provider check with them for that problem.  Cheers Brian

    Contact Apple support to deactivate iMessage. https://www.apple.com/support/appleid/contact/

  • Have a 5S w/ Sprint, can't receive texts from verizon non-iphones!

    Ported a # as of 10/2 from Tmobile to the iphone 5s I received from Sprint.
    Since then I can't receive texts from verizon non-iphones! They
    can see my texts. Googling this, it seems like there's been issues
    like this for other people. Can anyone advise as this is very bad!

    SMS and MMS are carrier features. There is nothing you can do on your phone to fix this. It's either a problem with Sprint, Verizon, or T-Mobile. You've reported the problem to Sprint, that's all you can do. About the only other thing that could be done would be to have somone you know on Verizon who can't send messages to you open a ticket with Verizon.

  • Not receiving texts from some iphone users.. anybody know whats up with that?

    Just got Samsung S4 and I'm not receiving texts from some iPhone users.
    Do i have something set up wrong?

    It appears you have moved from an iPhone to an android phone. The problem you are having is because you did not deactivate your iMessage service before leaving.
    If you still have your iPhone, you can re-activate it and then
    turn on iMessage in the settings
    uncheck your email and phone number
    turn off iMessage
    Settings>Messages
    If you don't have your phone or don't want to go thru the hassle of reactivating it, you can simply call Apple at 800-694-7466 and ask them to turn off your iMessage.

  • I received a text from verizon saying i made a charge with a third party  vendor that would show up on by bill

    I got a text from Verizon saying I made a charge with a third party vendor that will be on my verizon bill.  What the heck?????

    Don't be surprised. I received this same notice but verizon has almost no way for a person to find the answer easily. Plus there are several charges on my bill that are on the web page that link to the contract. The links go no where! !
    If they are going to charge something they need to find a way for people to know what is being charged.
    An Iphone6 was upgraded on October 6 under the Edge program. The charge was added almost immediately and appeared on the October 12 billing cycle. The older phone was returned to them under the Verizon Edge plan and it was received by verizon on the 13th of October. That credit has still not been applied to our account. It took them a matter of minutes to charge us for the new IPhone 6 but so far they have not been able to apply the credit for the edge return after eight days. All the links to this transaction are dead and there are no records on the verizon billing site to back up the charges. The message today is the first 'hint' that there may be a charge coming but no mention of the credit.

  • Anyone else having trouble receiving texts from other iphone users?

    My daughter has an iphone 4S and just called from college, she can't receive texts from other iphone users anymore.  Worked fine until yesterday.  She can receive texts from me, but I have a droid.  Any idea if this is a Verizon problem or something wrong with her phone?

    She turned imessage off, then turned it back on again and now it seems to be fine.  Not sure what she did, but she says she's ok now.

  • Unable to send or receive text from another iphone after updating ver 7.02

    Before updating ver 7.02 I was able to send and receive text to any cell phone. After updating to ver 7.02 can no longer send nor receive any text from any iphone 4 or iphone 5. Can send and receive to/from an old iphone 3 and to any non-iphone but not iphone 4 or 5. Tried updating iTunes then restore phone from backup, no change. Deleted apps that were no longer being used and transferred all my pictures on phone to a folder on computer then deleted then out of iTunes. Tried restoring again, once again no change.
      Not having any idea what else to try, went to AT&T store for help. Pretty much got a shrug of the shoulders with the response of yep, a lot of texting problems after 7.02 update. No help at all.
    Anybody else have or had this issue? If yes,  what did you find causing the problem?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the response. I tried so many things forgot to list that I did try turning off iMessage, reset network and turned network back on- no change. Also forgot to mention it's my wife's phone, I'm more old school. If I need to talk to somebody, I just call since I already have a phone in my hand. That's my solution to the problem but she doesn't think so. LOL. Also tried hard restarting several times, didn't make any difference. I am still fiddling around with it, if I come up with anything I will post it.
    Thanks again for the help.

  • Having trouble receiving texts from other iphone users since I updated my software

    Hi there,
    I am having trouble receiving texts from other iphone users since I updated my software to IOS7. Also I am unable to get i messenger to work, it keeps saying waiting for authorization. I am wondering if anyone else is having these issues and what I can do to fix it.
    Thanks,

    She turned imessage off, then turned it back on again and now it seems to be fine.  Not sure what she did, but she says she's ok now.

  • Can't receive SMS texts from non-iPhone users

    My phone suddenly stopped letting me receive texts from non iPhone users yesterday. Since then, I have powered my phone on and off, reset the network, and power cycle. My mother has been in the hospital and I have to be here with her all day. I have no time to go to a verizon store. I've only had the phone a week and I'm really disappointed with this. Seeing my mom is in the hospital, I really need this to be working, but I'd don't even know of something else to try.

        Ktoole, I can understand how frustrating this could be. How long has this been an issue? Have you ever been able to receive texts from non-iPhone users? Do you have iMessage on or off? Have you tried to restore the phone through iTunes?

  • Can an iPad with iMessage enabled receive a text from an iPhone that has iMessage DISabled?

    Can an iPad with iMessage ENabled receive a text from an iPhone that has iMessage DISabled?

    A "non-iMessage-enabled text) would be an SMS message. iPads do not handle these and they do not go through an Apple server to be "converted". SMS is a function of a cellular carrier, not Apple.
