Texts between iPhone 4S on same account not sending or receiving

My husband and I both just got new iPhone 4S devices and we are not having trouble texting anyone else - but each other.  I checked Call Block and see that you can't block phone numbers from the same account.  His number is primary and my number is an additional line in our account.  I have my phone set to send as SMS when iMessage is not available, but my iMessages and SMS texts yesterday were not getting to him.  Most of the time, mine get to him, but then when he replies, I do not get his replies.  I think it's his phone, he thinks it's mine.  HELP!

Are his settings correct also? Try the usual (reset/restart/restore or calling *228 and choosing option 2) to see if that helps. You might have to contact VZW tech support to make sure there isn't something on their end that needs to be taken care of. Also, if you know anyone else with an iPhone or iPod touch that uses iMessage you can try messaging them to see if any issues occur,

  • IPhone 5 and Yosemite, can not send or receive phone calls on Mac

    I have latest software on iPhone 5 and Yosemite and an update on cloud, still no phone calls are displaying on my mac or txt msgs... am I missing a step? Can only users who also have iPhones with Facetime only contact me via my computer?

    Hi ravanarrowood,
    I had similar problems at the beginning. Bluetooth were switched on on both devices but the hands off was not working. Later I realized that iOS 8.1 was already released but my iPhone did not even notify me. Then I restored the iPhone connecting it to iTunes, installed iOS 8.1 and only after that bluetooth starting working properly and I could manage to pair both devices.
    For text messages, try going to Messages --> Preferences --> Accounts --> iCloud account
    You can be reached for messages at ... Add your cell phone number if it is not there already.
    I could manage to receive the messages from my Mac with these settings. But still the messages are not syncing across devices but I am just receiving them from both devices. I delete a message from my iPhone in the morning and in the afternoon I re-receive it from my Mac. Interesting..

  • Verizon iPhone 5 not sending or receiving texts. iMessage worked for a day then stopped or messages were severely delayed.

    New iPhone 5 on Verizon will not send or receive texts. In the beginning iMessage worked for about a day and then messages started to be delayed by hours. Eventually even these messages were not being sent. Reset network settings followed by a soft re-boot land still no change. Any ideas?

    For iMessage problems, try this:
    - Sign out of iMessage
    - Reset your network settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - Sign back in to iMessage
    Best of luck.

  • I have 2 iphones on the same account and all of a sudden my text messages are also appearing on the other phone. i haven't changed any setting

    i have 2 iphones on the same account and all of a sudden my text messages are also appearing on the other phone. i haven't changed any setting

    you most likely have imessage on both iphones and sending/receiving to same number on one of the iphones. go to settings messages > send and receive > check the numbers/emails on both iphones. once you uncheck the numbers/emails you dont want you will not be getting the messages any more. a little bit more info is helpful read this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538.

  • HT204150 I have 2 iphones registered under same account, but both phones had different contacts in them, somehow icloud duplicated, exchanged them. and deleted could not restore the contacts, how do I restore it? plz help

    I have 2 iphones registered under same account, but both phones had different contacts in them, somehow icloud duplicated, exchanged them, and I turned off the icloud on one of them, while doing that it asked me if I want to keep them on my phone or not. I pressed the one saying not to keep them. I deleted all of them and could not restore the contacts, how do I restore it? when I sign in to my icloud account online it only shows the contacts that were on the other phone. plz help

    I access a personal iPhone and iPad, and a business iPhone with the same Apple ID.
    The iPhone's passcode lock feature is completely separate from another iPhone or iOS device.
    All apps, all paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the Apple ID that was used to download the apps. If some apps were downloaded with one Apple ID and then a new Apple ID is created, in order to download an app update that was installed with the original Apple ID requires using that Apple ID and password.

  • Can two Iphones have the same account/email address?

    Can two iphones have the same account/email address? I bought two phones-one for my wife and the other for myself. They are both under the same account /itunes account /email address-Would this cause a conflict with the two phones?

    No, as long as you want to share the same account for iCloud's services like Mail, Calendars, Contacts, Reminders, Notes, iCloud, Documents etc.
    I personally would create two accounts so that everyone could have and use  heir own mail account, address book, create meetings, reminders etc. without reading and deleting stuff of the other person.

  • Iphone ios7 update error "account not in this store"

    hi all, with ios7 update iphone keeps giving error " account not in this store" and some apps can not update because of this.
    any ideas how to solve it? all details: country, payment details are correct. Itunes account is same with same country but even after syncing the error remains.
    any ideas how to solve this frustrating error?
    thanks for your help!!

    Update: This problem only occurs when trying to UPDATE apps, not buy or download brand new ones. Further, it only fails to update apps that I purchased previously.
    I tried downloading some new apps from within the phone, and this worked fine, and later they updated fine, also within the phone. But the older apps still give the same error when I try to update them.

  • My iphone 4 will not send and receive text messages at random times

    My iphone 4 will not send and receive text messages at random times.  My brother has the same phone, lives in the same home and doesn't have this problem.  I can't receive messages without my iphone displaying a message asking for my phone number at random times. It happens intermittently.  Does anyone know why this happens? I am referring to regula text messages not imessages.  I have turned it off and also updated to the most recent software. thanks

    I've been an AT&T customer since they were under different names in the 90s and have never heard/seen that. I would check with them. I'd really like to see that error. To get a screenshot on the phone, press the home button and sleep/wake button together quickly and release. You will see the screen flash slightly and hear the camera shutter noise.

    What do you mean he chose his and your number during setup. Chose them for what? Is you number showing up in the Settings>Messages>"You can be reached by imessage at" section? If it is he needs to remove it.

  • Is iMessage free if you text between iPhones using AT

    Confused on a few things.  I have the iPhone 4 with 3G.  I don't use my phone all that much...use iMessage approx. 3x/week, and I listen to iHeart Radio at home on wifi.  This is my issue:  I got a notice that I was over my data usage and will be billed $15.  My questions are...is iMessage free when you text between iPhones on AT&T?  Does IHeart Radio use data?  I feel that I might have my settings wrong because my sister says she uses iMessage all e time and NEVER goes over her data.   How can I check my data usage so I don't go over again?  Thanks so much for the help!

    It would be hard to imagine breaking your data plan with iMessage, unless you are passing some massive attachments.
    On the other hand, iHeart radio is like Pandora, I think, and streams the music constantly while running. I wonder what happens if your wi-fi drops for a second while you are running that. Will your phone jump over to the cellular connection to keep the app running? If it does, that could easily explain the data overage.
    You might want to play around with disabling cellular data when you know you will be parked under wifi for a while.That way, if wifi does blip on you, you don't start munching on your data plan.
