Text messages not sending

Hey,
A few weeks ago i bought some skype credit to text my girlfriend in Peru, from the UK (england). For the first week or so it worked fine, she would recieve the message very quickly, and the price was very reasonable. No problems.
But, suddenly it changed: i will send a message to the same number, which is correct, and the message will attempt to send, but it will fail, with the advice to check number coming up. I am at a loss; the number is correct, we used it for a week with no problems, she is recieveing texts from people (granted, in Peru) ok, and i can call her using my home phone. What is going on?
Possibly a related problem is that my mobile cannot text her either using normal credit. Anyone got any ideas?

I can make calls to mobiles but all of sudden text messages I send do not get thru

I have been with Skype for a couple of years now and the principal use a make of Skype is to send text messages to mobile phones, because I can use my keyboard to type messages. This problem has only occurred during the last two weeks

I'm so sorry but in cases such as this, there is nothing we can do as the problem is not on our end. Please note that the SMS travels from us to the phone's provider and finally to the phone itself. If the providers reports to us that the SMS was sent, then the status of the SMS in Skype is delivered.

Hi Team,
MSN - 0429394904
I don't believe there is anything that we can do for this particular issue, customer is more looking for clarification to take back to Skype. But he is unable to receive Skype SMS messages, can receive standard SMS without any issue.
Skype has claimed that they are receiving the delivery confirmation message that the message has been received but nothing is being received to the mobile. I have confirmed with customer that other people that have been sent a Skype SMS are unable to receive the messages also, so is likely an issue with the Skype service.
Would you have any further feedback?
Example SMS - Sent via Skype on Monday 6pm.
Kind Regards,

Good morning Matthew,
We have added SMS and also GPRS/Data on the customer's service. Skype has nothing to do with us and we in no way support SMS travelling over a third party platform.
***If the customer is not receiving the messages, he will need to follow up further with Skype.***
Thankyou

  • Text message not sending or receiving after ios 5 update on Verizon iPhone4

    The Verizon iPhone 4 was updated to ios 5. Have not been receiving nor can i send text messages.

        amymcox10,
    Let's fixt this! I suggest removing and re-adding the application. You can do this by navigating to Settings from your phone>Application Manager>Verizon Messages>Remove and re-install from the Google Play Store. Please test and share. Thank you.

  • Upgrading my Iphone 4 I am not able to access my text messages or send texts.

    Hi Everyone:
    Since the last 9 days after upgrading my Iphone 4 I am not able to access my text messages or send texts.  I have attempted to delete the "68" messages however, once deleted for a period 2-3 seconds.  The deleted messages reappears!  I have reset. restored. did back-ups!  Nothing has altered this problem. Has anyone else experienced this?  Please help?  Thanks :-)

    Thanks Diesel: 
    But I have been back and forth with my carrier and they are adament that this is not their issue but Apple's..... I do appreciate your reply!

  • I upgraded my iphone to 5.0.1 and ever since, it has decided to delete old text messages. Only with one contact though, not everybody. So for every new text message I send this person, an old one gets removed. Why? I don't want this to happen.

    Connect the phone directly to the computer, not a hub.
    Disconnect all other USB devices except keyboard and mouse.
    Disable your firewall
    Disable your antivirus
    In iTunes if it recognizes the phone click "Restore"
    If it doesn't recognize the phone:
    Disconnect the phone from the phone end, leave the USB cable plugged into the computer
    Hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons until the screen turns black, excactly 10 seconds, then release the SLEEP but continue holding the HOME (If an Apple logo appears you have held SLEEP too long; do it over)
    While holding HOME connect the cable to the phone
    As soon as iTunes recognizes the phone release the HOME button and it should restore.
    If neither procedure works note the exact error message and post it.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Randomly, text messages I send with my new iPhone 4S are delivered as all squares instead of text.  Any idea how to fix this issue?

    Randomly, text messages I send with my new iPhone 4S are delivered to the recipients as all squares instead of regular characters.  I have heard other people complain about this too.  Any idea how to stop it or why it is happening?  Hardware issue?

    There are a lot of posts in the forums today with people having problems with iMessage.   There was also a published outage yesterday, so it's possible there are still some issues that may be impacting you both.
    I would just wait it out - I'm sure it will be sorted out soon.

  • TS2755 Since I updated my software my text messages I send to a certain person are also being received by another person. Any ideas?

    Check your profile settings and goto menu-> tools-> settings-> general-> pesonalisation-> home screen-> mode settings-> home screen applications-> e-mail 1 and 2.
    Check for duplicates to show names and install "Conversation" from Nokia Beta Labs.

  • 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.

  • HT1414 I backed up my iphone last weekend.  Today (one week later), I was downloading music and noticed the text messages I send to myself (about 1 1/2 years worth) are gone.  Now, I can't find the backup from last week to try to get them back.  help???

    You cannot update iPhone 4 to IOS 8.1.2, the highest you can update is IOS 7.1.2.
    Unless you've iPhone 4S (looks similar to iPhone 4)
