Text messaging fails to deliver

I have a iphone 5.  Since I updated to ios7 my text messaging has a failure to deliver daily.  the only thing that correct the problem is to turn the iphone off and on.

Try this:
1) Settings
2) General
3) Reset
4) Reset Network Settings
This will reestablish the link for the cellular connection and the cellular data as well as the saved WiFi connections will be reset.

  • Why sometime sending a text message reads sent as text message instead of Delivered?

    Why dose sent messages read as sent as text message instead of Delivered? and this person has an iPhone too

    In order for a message to be sent as an iMessage, both parties have an active data connection. If one or both of you doesn't, then the message will be sent as a regular SMS (assuming you have it set that way). Only iMessages will give you the "Delivered" update. SMS do not.
    Best of luck.

  • Text Messaging, Failed Delivery

    i too have been having the same problem.  text messages fail to send in certain areas of the house.  my service, in the house, was much better before the last update.  my zip code is 28409.
    tell me something.  i see above your advice to clear text threads, clear data in the app and force stop.  if i do that (only 48kb of data), will i lose all of my text messages?
    thanks!

        Hi DoranneE,
    Let's get to the bottom of this! I have reviewed your zip code and have identified some service opportunities. Did you recently move to this area? Do you have trouble in and outdoors?  Completing the previous suggested troubleshooting steps will not delete your text message. However, if you want to backup your messages there are several message backup applications on the Play Store. I am confident this information is helpful. We are here if you have any additional questions or concerns.

  • Text messages aren't delivering to iPhone

    Hello,
    Here's a unique situation. In just the past couple of weeks, I've noticed that text messages are delivering irregularly to my iPhone 5. Very few come to my iPhone but most deliver only to my MacBook Air. I downloaded OS X Yosemite to my Air and iOS 3 to my iPhone when both first came out and the new function worked perfectly. Texts came to all of my devices and I was able to write/reply to messages on either my iPhone or Air.
    The only change is that I travelled internationally a couple of weeks ago and enabled international roaming on my iPhone. I really need all texts to deliver to my iPhone soon. Any ideas? Could this be a problem originating with my data provider?
    Thanks!

  • Text Messaging Fails

    I've been having a problem with Text Messaging, and wondered whether anyone has any suggestions.
    When I send a text message, I typically get a notice that the message sending failed. On a recent trip to Europe, for each text message I sent - even when I was in a strong GSM network with EDGE enabled - it took 5-7 attempts for it to go through. In the US, it's a bit easier: it typically goes through on the second attempt.
    Why is it so difficult to properly send a text message?
    Thanks for the advice!

    You may want to call AT&T and talk to them about that. It may have something to do with the way your telephone account and texting feature is set up.

  • Text messages fail to send

    Periodically, text messages seem to hang for a long period of time in the "sending" status.  Then I get an error message that says the message failed to send. When I check with the recipient, they usually say they did receive the message.  Sometimes they say they received the same message three times.
    I cannot see a pattern for when these failures occur.  It has happened when I have one bar and when I have 4 bars.  It has happened when I'm connected to 3G or 4G, and when I'm connected to wifi.

        We want to see those picture messages flying again! Does the wireless signal appear strong when attempting the message? What Messaging app are you using myustbedumb? Are you also using a Network Extender?
    Thank you,

  • Why isn't a normal text message not being delivered to just one number ?

    Since the IOS update a few weeks ago I've discovered that text messages I've been sending to a T mobile phone haven't been received, whereas they always were before. I've texted from another phone successfully so the problem is not their end. This is not a problem with Imessaging - all the help and advice appears to be with this issue. It's just normal text messaging that isn't getting through. Any advice would be appreciated !

    Have you contacted your carrier, since this is a carrier feature?

  • Why is my text message not being delivered

    Why is my messages not being delivered?

    1. Messages on the iPad can only be sent to other iDevices
    2. The receiving party must also be registered with iMessage
    Note: The two above conditions must be met.

  • Ios8 searching text messages fails

    Since downloading the iOS 8 I can no longer search for passed text messages.  Very annoying.  Hope this fault is corrected in the update.  When will that be?

    Same issue here on an iPhone 6. Search only pulls up texts since I got the phone. Won't search texts from before iOS 8 (previous backup).

    So switch those phones if that is so important to you. At least the iPhone protects the privacy of the recipient. It is up to the recipient to activate message receipts on their part.

  • I am frequently getting message failed to deliver error messages when it in fact does deliver. I'm using an iPhone 5 on iOS 6

    I am using the iPhone 5 running iOS 6 and I am getting an error message more often than not satin that the message has failed to send and the little red exclamation sign next to it. I'll tap it again and sometimes it will send successfully but then people are asking me why I'm sending the same massage over and over. So it really is sending the first time around but why the error message? This happens when usin both iMessage and regular SMS. Hope you guys can help. Thanks for your time!

    Same here. This is so annoying. Must in touch with Sprint advanced tech trying to get it resolved with no luck. I must have spent 50 hours with them to resolve it with no progress. Apple blaming sprint network and sprint is saying its a device issue. My phone has been wiped and replaced and still not resolved.

  • When I send a text message I do not get any confirmathat it has been delivered.  Is there a way of getting an automated confiramtion of deleivery as I'm used to having this on a previous phone, and need to know that my texts have been delivered.

    When I send a text message I do not get any confirmation that it has been delivered.  Is there any way of getting an automated message confirmation delivery and time?  I was used to this with my old phone and need to know that my text message has been delivered to the recipient's phone, and when.

    Thanks.  So there's no means of knowing whether a text message has been delivered, not to mention time of delivery.  Perhaps I've gone for the wrong phone.  It might do a lot but seems to miss out on some basics.
