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!
Cat

Something is wrong w ith her sending iMessages;

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!!)!!

Tour 9630 - text messages not received/sent

I have a BlackBerry Tour 9630 and just today started having problems with text messages.
There is one contact who does not receive my texts, and I have not received the 5 texts sent by them to me today.
I have sent/received texts today from other people with not problem at all.
I have restarted the phone and have done the *228, Option 2 update and it still does not work.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi,
Just curious, was the problem the OP described a general problem with a general fix or was it a specific fix that was done to the OP's account?

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.

phone to receive delivery reports for the messages you send.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

HT1430 hey, I just reset my Apple ID and suddenly much of my Iphone text history disappeared. and I can send texts, but not receive any. what do I do? is this related to AppleID, or is the text issue from something else? thx!

Error msg: "Config message not received after 45 seconds"

I have developed a simple stateless session bean. After being called once, the following is output to the log:
Thu Jan 04 18:15:46 CST 2001:<I> <RJVM> Signaling peer 3978882810638278829C198.171.129.36 gone: weblogic.rjvm.PeerGoneException:

Exactly 45 seconds later the following is output and I can no longer access a JDBC connection from my pool:
Thu Jan 04 18:16:31 CST 2001:<I> <CliCon-#|myserver|0.978653734170> Connection to client for ClientContext - id: '#|myserver|0.978653734170', bound: 'true', dead: 'false' has been unexpectedly lost be
cause weblogic.rjvm.PeerGoneException: Config message not received after 45 seconds.
Initiating hard disconnect.
Can anyone shed some light on this for me?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
this is the explanation why this occours:
If there is a t3 Client connects to the server, every ( weblogic.system.configTimeoutCheckVal
) time, ConfigTimeoutChecker will run to check the t3 client is disconnected or
not. The problem is, if the client has already disconnected, the ConfigTimeoutChecker
still runs every time to check the disconnected t3Client again and again.
This should be solved with SP11.

I just purchased 2 ipod touch for my kidz. and registered them both with my email. I didn't know every text message I receive, they too would get on their IPod Touch. HOw do I change this? And do I need to contact a Representative to add them

Can you connect to a wifi source on the device? Enable wifi in settings on the device itself. If you don't have wifi at home, there may be a local hotspot you can use for this.
The reason this happens is carriers don't want people downloading huge files that would slow their network as well as eat up your data plan.

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.
