Text message not delivering

Keep it a failed delivery for text messages

This is a carrier / interchange problem. The phone can only give you what it gets. SMS messages are limited in how long they can be. The iPhone handles things fairly elegantly in the way it allows you to compose, send and receive long messages that are technically multiple SMS messages. Other phones, not so much... Something is getting borked in transit from the senders phone to your phone. Have the sender contact their carrier.

Applications closing immediately after opening Text messages not delivered

It there any way to restore the phones applications when they start to malfunction, instead of doing a complete system restore. As the application are closing immediately after opening. I've tried deleting and restoring them.
Also text message seem to get lost when doing a system restore. They don't just arrive when its finished. They never get delivered. Caused a few big problems for me but I'll only do it at night now. Has anyone had the same problem.?? Thanks.

It's in it 7th hour to restore
and it hasn't started with the photos
music yet. That cant cant be right??? Can it??

Why are my text messages not delivered from Verizon Customers to my new provider?

I ported two numbers away from Verizon and now Verizon is apparently blocking text messages from Verizon customers to my new provider.
I can get texts from AT&T, Sprint, TMobile, and anyone else. Unfortunately, I cannot get texts from Verizon customers.
I have been right next to a friend with a Verizon android who texted to my non-Verizon android, and it never got through. My new provider says that this is not uncommon.
I have been on with Verizon tech support, and while they are nice enough, they have not been able to fix anything.
Verizon, please take responsibility to fix this!

rowdyonez, thanks for helping us support Frustrated_Former_Verizon_Cust with information regarding how to resolve their text messaging issue. Let's make sure that this isn't a memory capacity issue. The first thing that we recommend is to delete all unwanted text messages and power the devices off/on to soft reset. Keep us posted. We can assist right here in this forum, too.

Text messages not delivering part 1 of a 2 part message

I have an iPhone 4 and for some reason when someone sends me a long message and it gets broken into 2 messages I never receive the first part. What comes through is 02/02: and the last part of the message. Any idea why this is happening or how to fix it? It is becoming very annoying.

Text messages on iphone 5s getting error message not delivered

when attempting to send a text messages on iPhone 5s getting error message not delivered with a red explanation mark. I have filed cases with carrier and it comes back as device, some messages do go thru fine and then it will give the error for several message and then back to working again. Please Help.

Hi
I am NOT trying to be mean or patronizing so my apologies if this comes across that way
That said
SMS texts are sent on a part of the same carrier wave that carries voice calling and conversation as opposed to data - which is why even non smart phones can text - it is the unused portion of the spectrum that initially carriers were making money off of
http://computer.howstuffworks.com/e-mail-messaging/sms.htm
In other words - to be able to text - one has to have a plan that supports that
Also that is why in some plans international texts have a cost whereas one can merrily iMessage from anywhere in the world and get away with it free
So - if the texts are not leaving your phone - chances are that they do not have a channel to do that - that is an AT&T issue

What is the difference between the green text bubble that reads "sent as text message" and the blue text bubble reporting "delivered?" Is the green text bubble not delivered?

iMessages are sent using Apple servers, using either WiFi or Cellular data. They can only be sent to/from iDevices or Macs that have the Messages app. SMS messages use the cellular network. Both methods can deliver the message to the recipient.

Text message said Sent as text message not deilvered. did it get sent

When sending a text, I received a message "sent as text message" not the normal "delivered" Did it actually get sent?

Anything is possible. It's also possible that the person who received it deleted it by accident. Or, it's possible that they received it and are telling you they don't. I would say that the first is the least likely, though.

I message not delivered

Not able to send IMessage through I phone 5 and as well as IPad Air. Getting a message stating that message not delivered! Can any suggest to set right this?!
Thanks!

You need an active Sim with text message capabilities to send SMS messages as they go through your carrier. You need an internet connection to send iMessages to other iOS devices.
If you are connected to the internet and cannot send iMessages, I suggest you sign off iMessage on both iPhone and iPad and then sign back in again.
Make sure your "send from" in settings is appropriate. For example if you have selected send from your phone number and your sim card is not on the phone, this might be a problem, so if you do not want to put the sim back on the phone, then select an iCloud account or other email account to send from.
Make sure the person you are trying to reach has "received at" properly selected on their iDevices.

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!!)!!

Why are i messages not delivered?

Why are some I messages not delivered?

Imessages is only for use between Apple devices that are registered for Imessages.
It is not a standard SMS/MMS system like on cellular phones.

I deleted a contact from my address book but when I go into text message it is still there. How do I fully delete this contact? It is only in my text messages not in my address book.

I don't believe there's much you can do about it...have a look at the "More Like This" pane on the right side of this page.
One way though to eliminate the issue (although not a very good way) is to restore the phone as new.

Unable to stop text message not sent notification

About a week ago I received a text from someone that was sent to my email address. I tried to reply to it and now the **** "text message not sent" notification keeps popping up and I can't make it stop. This is driving me insane.

I just had this very exact problem. I was on the phone with tech support for about 5 hrs until they finally gave up and admitted they had no idea how to fix this. They shipped me a 'like new' phone after all of my complaining, and I haven't had any problems as of yet. Basically your two options are to have them send you a new phone or factory reset your device and hope for the best. I did the reset and my phone just started acting worse.

Can't send message message not delivered

Ever since the Message+ app update that was sent out on Dec. 19, I receive an error saying something to the effect of "Can't deliver message, Message not delivered", even though my messages are being sent to and received just fine by my contacts. I receive a notification saying to check the message in question, but when I tap the notification, it just opens Message+ to a new message window.
Is anyone else receiving this problem, and have you figured out how to fix it? I've already tried clearing the cache/data and restarting my phone.

tgp1994 we'll get the messages flowing! What device make/model do you have? Has there been any other changes to the device, outside of the update, since this issue started?

helplessmom,
We want to make sure all of your messages show up for you! What issues are you having with them? Do they come to the phone at all? Is it only messages from certain people having issues or all?
