Text messaging problem with iphone 5

I just bought a Verizon iphone 5 on Monday. Prior to this I had a Verizon iphone 4 which worked fine. I need to use a Network Extender (3G service) at my house in order to have cell service. This is working perfectly fine for my work cell phone a Samsung flip phone and worked perfectly with my iphone 4.
However, with the iphone 5, text messaging gets "stuck" when I leave the house, go to regular cell/LTE service then return back to the 3G Network Extender. I can't send or receive text messages. (imessage between iphones seems to work fine) To get text messaging working again I have to restart the phone. Today was also the first day I had a phone call (I declined it) and I did not receive the voicemail notification until after I restarted my phone.
I have no idea if this is a phone hardware problem or if it's a iOS problem caused by the recent update (which just happened to coincide with my buying the phone). Has anyone else had a similar problem? Heard of this? Restarting my phone every time I enter my house is a ridiculous way to solve the problem.

I see no one is having this problem. I did take it back to the Verizon store. The first time they gave me a new sim card. That was easiest. They told me sometimes those are bad and cause the phone to flake out. The new sim didn't help.
Today I took the phone back and replaced it The new phone works perfectly. This leads me to believe there was a bad cell radio in the other one and this caused all my problems. Just wanted to follow up with the end result.

Iphone 5 crops picture when send it via text message.to with iphone 5 the photo they get is always cropped on the right side. Any help?

I have iphone 5 and when I take picture and then later send it via text message to another person with iphone 5 the photo they get is always cropped on the right side. Any help?

Make sure the contact has a 10-digit number, not just the 7-digit number.
If that isn't it, does the problem only happen with iMessages, SMS or MMS messages?
Try tapping Settings > Messages, then turn SMS and MMS off. Test, then repeat again only leaving SMS or MMS on.
This Apple doc has some good tips too -> iOS: Troubleshooting Messages

While I was talking via land line to land line with a friend they recieved text message from my iphone that I did not send. How is that possible?

I repeat. While I was talking via land line to land line with a friend they began recieving text messages from my Iphone that I did not send. I am in the middle east and I was calling a land line in Mexico but that should not have mattered. Moreover, the person I was speaking to told me they had gotten other text messages from me that know I never sent. I called my phone company (AT&T) and was told the problem was not with the system but with my Iphone. They suggested someone was using app that mimicked my phone number. Is such a think possible?

In addition to my iphone I have an itouch. I only just today created an appleID so that I could use this message board so it seems unlikely that the problem is the result of a misused ID

Anyone having problem with iphone getting not delivered message after sending picture and it really is getting delivered to recipient.

Same problem here with and I've done everything shy of a total reset which I also find unacceptable. This problem exists on all iMessage platforms (iPhone, iPad, and Mac) so I don't see how restoring my iPhone would help the problem.

HT1349 Hi all,I have just purchased new iphone but have difficulty in completing the itunes download with message : problem with Windows installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected.

Hi all,I have just purchased new iphone but have difficulty in completing the itunes download with message : problem with Windows installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected.
Would appreciate help...its driving me up the wall!!

Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

Trying to upgrade to 10.6 so my iPhone could synch...I'm getting this error message "Problem with this Windows (XP) Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run." Any ideas?

I had iTunes 10.2.1.1 but needed to upgrade to 10.6 so my iPhone could synch...I'm getting this error message "Problem with this Windows (XP) Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run." Any ideas?

This has been fixed. Answer is that I needed to go to "Apple Software Update" and repair it. (From my Control Panel).

I set up my sons ipod touch with my apple id and he is getting text messages from my iphone

I set up my son's ipod touch with my apple id and he is getting text messages from my Iphone. How can I set up Imessage from his email account instead of my email/phone #?

You can go to Settings>Messages>Send and Receive and uncheck the phone number and delete your email address. You can add his own email address. The only way to delete the phone number is to use an Apple ID for Messages that is not associated with an iPhone. You can change it by Go to Settings>Messages>Apple ID and sign out and sign in with the other ID

I cant receive photos with text messages on my iphone 4s

I cant receive photos with text messages on my iphone 4s. Do I need to change a setting on the phone?

If you scroll up and don't see that button, then there are no more messages to see.
Here's a sample image I found on Google that shows the button.

HT6154 Why are my texts sending as a text message to another iphone user instead of an imessage?

I just got my new iphone 5s. Well I have been sending text message to another iphone user and my text are going in as a text message instead of an imessage. The never happened with my iphone 4s. Also I do not recieve some of my text message till almost an hour later. This has nothing to do with where I am because I can be down the road from someone and I did not get their message until I got closer to her. Me and my husband just got these new iphone 5s and we are both having the same problem. Can someone help? I don't want to return the phone but if I continue to have this problem I'll just keep my iphone 4s because I never ran into any problems like this prior.

imessage will send as a SMS when it is unavailable either thru a weak wifi or cellular data signal. OR the other side has imessage turuned off.

Why can't I recieve text messages from an iphone while I'm on a phone call

When I'm on a phone call on my IPhone5s I can not receive text message from other IPhones. Why is this and is there a way that I can fix it. Nor can I send I messages or picture text.

That is a limitation of 4g networks, you cannot use data and talk at the same time except for few networks (I think AT&T)
Unless you have the new iPhone 6, which supports enhanced LTE which will allow talk and data over 4g networks.
This problem exists with many other phones as well by the way.

How can I retrieve deleted text messages from my iphone 5

Somebody deleted a string of text messages from my iPhone 5 and I want to know if they can be retrieved and if so how? I'm new to the iPhone as this is my first apple product. I am still not even sure on how to use my iTunes and so forth. Please help as the string of messages was very important!! Thank you so very much!! Tracy

SMS text messages are backed up with the iPhone - whether it's locally or to iCloud. If you've already written over the backup that had them (as in, backed up after the delete) then they're gone.
If you still have a backup available from a time where you had the messages on your iPhone, all you have to do is erase the iPhone and restore from that backup.
"Retrieve deleted messages from iPhone" is simple as pie.

Why can't I send group text messages on my Iphone 3GS any longer?

I have been sending and receiving group text messages on my iphone 3GS for awhile and all of a sudden I am receiving "Message Send Failure" error messages when I try to send a group message. I think I still get group messages but you can no longer see that it is a group message and who the group members are. I turned the Group setting off and then back on in Settings and turned the phone off and back on with no improvement.

Make sure your account is provisioned for messaging/texting.
Also, Settings > Messages > MMS Messaging > On

Problems with iPhone 3.0 software on iPhone 3G

I love the iPhone 3.0 software update. I just wish that Apple can fix the following problems now:
1. The phone starts to slow down, real slow, a day after the update.
2. Battery uses up like crazy, takes a much longer time to charge, and the phone gets really warm when in use or when charging ever since the update.
3. Sometimes other parties could call in - they were directed to my voice inbox even though I was not using the phone. A friend of mine told me that he was experiencing the same problem, and that somehow it was resolved by turning on 3G.
4. Data connection, for Emails and apps, became much slower than before.
5. Happened once: Somebody sent me a text message, and my iPhone kept on receiving that same message every three minutes for an entire morning.
A 3.1 update that solves the above problem, any fellow user tips that solve the above problem, or a Palm Pre discount gift card would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I seriously doubt the performance would be any slower. There would be no point. I am sure in 3 or 4 iphones time the OS will be so advanced that the 3G iphone and it's 128mb RAM would not be able to run it. Just specualating, but by then the 3G will be long gone. I have the white 3G 16GB which has been discontinued now. That's why i am not getting the 3GS coz mine is quite rare now.
