Text/SMS to mobiles sending but not being received

Hi,
I've upgraded to Skype 7.1 and Mac X Yosemite and can effectively no longer send SMS i.e. I usually send texts/SMS to a distribution list of about 25 mobile numbers and while the history says "sent" and the credit is taken from our account, no-one is receiving the texts.
How do I fix this?
Thanks

you dont know that it has nothing to do with his iPhone thats not guaranteed he could have some glitch causing it..
Actually, I do. Delayed SMS/MMS delivery is an all too common problem occurring with all carriers, independent of the phone. It's caused by carrier traffic and local signal conditions at both ends.
The only way the phone could cause it is if it froze and locked up when attempting to send, then mysteriously unfroze hours later, completing the send command. This would have been obvious to the user.

    Hi, I have had an LG Octane for 4 years and loved it. I used it for email, surfing the web and facebook. But 6 weeks ago I stopped getting text messages, I could send but not receive.  I was told it was just worn out.  So I ordered another Octane from ebay, and it wouldn't connect to the internet. I was told by Verizon that the software had been changed.  So I ordered a NEW in Box Octane and I am having trouble with that too. Bing won't work, nothing will work that will enable me to download Verizon Opera mini that still works on my old phone. I have a smart phone with another number but I LOVE the Octane for daily use. Why will my old Octane work but I can't get a NEW one to.  Verizon guys are stumped too:( Please help!!  Thanks!

    From the sound of it, your server doesn't think it's authoritative for your domain. You'll need to revisit your server configuration. There are too many possible causes for this to answer it blindly.
    Running postconf -n will give the likely configuration elements to check.

  • SMS Messages--can send but not receive--why?

    I can send SMS messages from my desktop or laptop through the Skype webpage, but if someone tries to respond, they get an error message that says, "failed message".  Why can I not receive SMS messages back to my Skype account online?

    OK, so who is paying for it?
    I would make sure that you have the personal BIS account enabled on your carrier account.

  • Texts sent by Samsung Galaxy S4 not being received

    Hi there,
    I seem to have issues sending texts to phones that do not use Verizon Wireless (could simply be iPhones, unsure). I can text my family and a few friends just fine, but usually my texts will not go through after sending one or two to a new number (very frustrating for trying to pick up girls, lemme tell ya).
    Samsung Galaxy S4 (SCH-1545)
    Android 4.3
    I use the "8sms" app, but have encountered this problem with 8sms, Handcent, and the stock messaging app.
    Thank you for any and all help in advance,
    Josh

        Thanks for the additional information jdklein. The difficulties are likely specific to having an Apple device previously on the line. Our best recommendation is to unregister your number with Apple. Here is a link to assist. JonathanK_VZW

  • IPhone5 will send but not receive Text messages

    IPhone5 will send but not receive Text messages.  Specifically, I can send my grown son text messages, but he can not reply to them, nor can he send me new texts. He and I are both on Verizon, and he has a Droid phone.  His texts can be recieved by his mother, who can forward them successfully to me.  When I initally received the phone (Dec 2012) I could receive and send texts with my son with no difficulty. The trouble began (as near as I can tell) when my phone was upgraded to 6.1.1.  This is a significant problem and I would like it resolved as soon as possible.

        Scouter, let's get you reconnected with your son, via text message. Make sure that your text messaging feature is enabled in Settings>Messaging:
    enable iMessage ON
    enable "Send as SMS" to ON
    MMS Messaging ON
    You will also need to reset the network connections in:
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network
    Finally, power cycle your phone off/on and try to send your son a text message. Keep us posted. We're here to help you.

  • I'm texting my friend and everything is sending but not delivering. Why is this happening? Did she block me?

    Texts that send but not deliver

    I know my texts aren't delivering because the word "delivered" would come up under the last text I sent. The word "delivered" is still under my last text to her from a couple days ago, which was the last time I talked to her.

  • I can send but not receive email

    Hello All. I know this is a highly posted topic but I cannot find a solution. Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Basic Problem- I can send but not receive email.
    My ISP is. Yahoo SBC Global
    I have a 3rd party email provider: 1and1.com
    I have set my preferences according to the specifications of 1and1.com
    The error I get is this: The server error encountered was: The attempt to read data from the server "pop.1and.com" failed.
    I have a Macbook Pro, running 10.4.9. My account with the 3rd party email provider is new and only has 1 or two emails in the account. I know this because I can log on via the internet and use their website to check the emails in the inbox. So the "email" address is working. I just can't get it to forward to my laptop.
    I'm wondering if it has something to do with port 110 being blocked by my ISP. But I really don't think they are blocking that port. Due to the fact that my previous computer was a dell, and I used a similar 3rd party provider to email, the account used port 110 and things worked fine.
    Thanks to all.

    Ok. I've got it working.
    All I did was delete my account information from the preferences. Before, I was editing it.
    I entered a completely new POP account and it started working. I have a hard time believing that I entered information incorrectly prior to this because I checked it, rechecked it had a friend check it and it all looked OK. I was copy and pasting information anyway.
    However, once I deleted and re- entered a brand new account, it worked fine.
    Ernie, thanks for replying to my emails! I appreciate it.

  • I have a Galaxy S5 with Global International plan in place. My txt to Jamaica are not being received there, but others are. Is there a setting in my phone I need turned on? Verizon customer service doesn't have any answers.

    I have a Galaxy S5 with Global International plan in place. My txt to Jamaica are not being received there, but others are. I can receive the messages, but not send. I get an msg saying, message to (my daughters number) failed: Network problem. Is there a setting in my phone I need turned on? Verizon customer service doesn't have any answers.

    Hello ffdaisy!  I sure hope you're having a great time in Jamaica! I'm so sorry about your messages. Let's get going on a resolution! to clarify, are you able to receive messages? Can you send to the states, but not to numbers originating in Jamaica?  First, I want to let you know how to get in touch with our Global Support Team while outside the US. Just click here for the information: http://vz.to/18oaptS   Second, I'd like to provide you with the dialing pattern for messaging to US numbers, and Jamaica nunbers. For the US, dial 1, then the area code, then the 7-digit number. for Jamaica numbers, dial area code 876, then the 7-digit number.

  • Can send but not retrieve emails using Thunderbird and Windows 8.1

    Hi, I am not able to get Thunderbird to retrieve emails on a new laptop.
    Last week I purchased a new laptop due to an imminent hard disk failure on my old laptop. I will call them "Old" and "New" laptops. (Old laptop is still working for the moment...)
    The Old laptop is nearly 3 years old, and I have been using Thunderbird on it since new without any problems.
    I have downloaded and installed Thunderbird on the New laptop, and can not get it to retrieve emails.
    As the Old laptop is still working (at the moment), I am able to directly visually compare and check settings on both computers.
    THE PROBLEM
    Using Thunderbird on the New laptop, I am able to send emails, I can see all my old emails restored from the Old laptop using Mozbackup, but clicking Get Mail on the New laptop does not retrieve new
    emails.
    When I click Get Mail, the status message in the bottom left corner says "connected to .....<ISP>..." but does not actually get the emails. However, the Old laptop is still able to get emails as it always has.
    My ISP is a large Australian telco that I have used for many years and I have not changed anything with my account. The ISP is POP3.
    WHAT HAVE I TRIED
    I deleted the email account created by restoring from Mozbackup, and attempted using the Thunderbird new account wizard, however Thunderbird did not recognise my ISP and would not create the account - even though it is working perfectly at the same time on the Old laptop.
    All Firewalls I can find have been configured to allow Thunderbird, with the same configuration settings on both machines.
    How do I know I can send but not Get emails from Thunderbird on the New laptop?
    I have sent test emails to myself from the New laptop. Thunderbird sends successfully, I am able to preview the test emails via Mailwasher on the New laptop, and can read, reply, etc, to the emails if I log into my ISP webmail service. However I can NOT get Thunderbird to retrieve and download these emails on the New laptop. If I go to the Old laptop, Thunderbird works perfectly, retrieves and downloads all new emails, including these test emails.
    I am now at the point where I do not know what else to try and would appreciate any suggestions.....
    I have spent many hours over the last 3 days surfing the net, forums, Mozilla Support, etc, and tried everything suggested, without success. The only thing I have NOT tried is starting windows in Safe mode (as per some suggestions), as it is not a viable long term solution.
    OTHER INFO
    Computer Details;-
    "Old" laptop;-
    Windows 7 Home Premium - continuously updated with all Critical and Important updates. 64 bit version.
    Antivirus = Bitdefender Total Security (subscription and licensed). Up to date.
    MailwasherPro 2012 (subscription and licensed). Up to date.
    Thunderbird 24.5.0 working perfectly. Up to date.
    "New" laptop;-
    Windows 8.1 - up to date with all Critical and Important updates. 64 bit version.
    Antivirus = Bitdefender Total Security (subscription and licensed) - downloaded and installed. Up to date.
    MailwasherPro 2012 (subscription and licensed) - downloaded and installed. Up to date.
    Thunderbird 24.5.0 - downloaded and installed.
    Note: I 'downloaded and installed' the Windows 8.1 version of these programs to avoid any potential compatibility problems restoring or copying from a Windows 7 backup version of the programs.
    1) New laptop came with pre-installed with McAfee - which has been Uninstalled due to running Bitdefender (Windows searches for 'McAfee' return nothing found suggesting the Uninstall was successful).
    2) Thunderbird has been added to both Bitdefender and Windows 8.1 firewalls on the New laptop.
    3) Bitdefender and Windows security settings are identical on both laptops - as near as I can determine, I may be missing something - but have checked all settings 3 times by doing a side-by-side visual comparison.
    4) Thunderbird settings are also identical and I am using the same email address and ISP that I have been using for many years.
    5) I migrated Thunderbird settings, accounts and emails from the Old laptop to the New laptop using Mozbackup, then visually checked and compared all settings in Thunderbird between the two machines.
    6) For info, I have used Mailwasher for many years as a simple way to preview and wash mail before running email programs such as Thunderbird - might be overkill, but I have also never had a virus or malware problem, so will keep doing this.
    7) I have Uninstalled and re-installed Thunderbird on the New laptop twice, and done the same with Bitdefender once.
    8) Any config changes I try on the New laptop, I either restart Thunderbird and / or restart the New laptop, or both.
    9) I have not created a Windows 8.1 account and am not using SkyDrive.
    10) Only other software I have installed on the New laptop is Google Chrome, Office Home 2013 and iTunes - all are working.
    Thanks in advance....

    Well there is not much left. If telnet works then the path is clear and there is no hardware firewall blocking ports.
    All that is left is software, so try windows safe mode with networking. A very handy way to eliminate software. it also actually disables most anti virus resident features and is preferred here because anti virus/security programs do not always disable or turn off when they say they have.
    You might also try the McAfee removal tool. https://community.mcafee.com/thread/52788 I notice the rep said yes to both, they did not say not required.
    Finally you could try creating a new profile, and see if it works just to exclude corruption of your existing profile. ( I doubt it but I am at the anything goes point)
    Just as an aside, I have never had an email borne nasty and I for many years never even had an email virus scanner. So yes I think your a bit over cautious with mailwasher, if that is what your using it for. Thunderbird does not support scripting languages or flash, or most plugins in the email sandbox. The result is getting a virus from a mail in Thunderbird is really only possible, for all practical purposes, if you open that password protected zip from the young Russian woman and that is what the anti virus should be blocking anyway when the temp file is written.

  • I'm being asked to enter my ID password on my ipad for icloud, but the email is no longer active and reset remails are not being received.

    I'm being asked to enter my ID pswd on my ipad 2 for icloud. but the email address and ID are no longer being used, and reset emails are not being received. How can I deactivate this? I have another ID which works fine, but this issue with the old ID is not allowing me to use my ipad.  thanks.

    If your iPad is signed into an old ID and you are trying to change it, if the old ID is yours, and if it is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • Can send but not receive email

    I have contacted my ISP and confirmed my password and settings. I can log on and send but not receive. The emails are on the server. This problem started after I installed the latest apple security update. The isp tech felt everything was ok there and that the problem was due to the security update blocking incoming mail.
    Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Thanks, Dave!
    I had the same problem. Could send but not receive, on three email accounts all of which were on the same server. The other four accounts on two different serves worked fine. This was a sudden change and I had not changed any mail prefs for several weeks or anything on the server end in months. I spent 3.5 hours on this this evening, excahnging emails with customer suppert at the server (using the other accounts of course), going through the complicated webstie to check the server configuration, checking the prefs in mail over and over and over, setting up the email on another computer to discover it worked, throwing everything realted to these three accounts out of keychain thinking maybe it had saved an old password.
    Came in here to post a plea for help and read your message. The offline bits were set. And the list of accounts under the IN heading had been collapsed (I generally have it open, don't know how it was collapsed) so that I couldn't see the obvious offline indicator. !!!
    Thanks again! Where were you 3.5 hours ago?
