Texts from other carriers

I just bought my iPhone about 24 hours ago, my phone number was ported completely (from verizon) just about an hour ago...so my friends with att texted me and i got them....but two of my friends who have verizon said they texted me and i didn't get them.
whats the deal? help...

Yeah I haven't gotten an email or a text or anything that says its complete...but I get calls, can make calls, get texts from non-verizon people, and my verizon phone doesnt work anymore.
I did the whole number transfer/activation thing like 24 full hours ago...ahhh.
I see how that would make sense though.

Thunderbolt Not Receiving Texts From Other Carriers

I installed the official firmware release on June 15, 2011. Since then my phone spontaneouly reboots more than ever and I am completelu unable to receive texts from other carriers (T-Mobile, AT&T, ect). I am able to send messages out only. I have rebooted the phone (when it's not doing it all by itself) and tried the *228, Option 2 to update the PRL. No change. Is there any fix for this?

I believe you'll have to take it to a Verizon store, as the *228 method ruins the SIM card for the Thunderbolt

Devour - Can't Receive Texts from other Carriers

Lately i've been having issues with receiving texts from other Carriers. I've already reset my phone multiple times, both hard and soft. All applications were deleted, i deleted conversations, wiped all conversations, re-texted the person, and tested who gets what.
Basically in a nutshell,
T-Mobile, i can occasionally get texts from.
Sprint, AT&T, Virgin, and any and all subsidiaries of forementioned carriers send replies i cannot get.
Every carrier can receive my message. i cannot receive theirs.
Verizon does work - for send and receive.
voicemails do work, i can leave one, and they can call me.
i've tested every method suggested over and over. im at the end of my rope. My job requires that my phone can receive messages from the employees and bosses, and all of them aren't Verizon-based. Somebody, please help. No, getting a new phone isn't feasible, and all my other phones are broken, except this one...and this was the first phone i actually owned three years ago.

Can't receive text msgs from other carriers

My carrier is Verizon, and I'm able to receive text msgs from other Verizon carriers. But my problem is that I can't receive text messages from other carriers, such as Tmobile. They can receive my text messages though. I have tried restarting, shutting down and reopening the phone. I've tried calling support, and I logged a ticket. Any idea what to do?

Hello and welcome to the forums;
I would let Verizon follow up on the ticket you opened with them. Does the incoming text never show up at all? Were you ever a customer of another wireless company and either migrated to Verizon or bought out by Verizon (such as Alltel)? Were you able to get texts on your last phone or is this your first Verizon phone?
Let us know how the ticket goes,

Not receiving all SMS txt messages from other carriers

I've noticed that i'm not receiving some txt messages from what appears to be Verizon customers.... it happens during pockets of time. I have not been able to track the exact timeframes. is anyone else having sporadic issues receiving SMS from other carriers? i know of atleast 3 friends that have replied to messages from me that i never received the response.

I'm curious. Did you port your number from Verizon when you activated the iphone? I was having the same problem with not being able to receive text messages from my Verizon friends. It turns out Verizon didn't completely disable my number on their end even though the phone number was ported. It took someone from technical support at AT&T to call Verizon while was on the phone and explain the problem to Verizon. Verizon then disconnected my number on its end and it wasn't until then that I started receiving text messages from Verizon users.

Why can't i receive photo texts from other IPHONE users

Why can't I receive photo texts from other iphone users

I made my own apple id because my family was getting my texts from other people. I want to add my device to my dads find my iphone app on his icloud but can't figure out how, without having to log in to his apple id on my phone. how do i add my device?

I made my own Apple ID because when I was logged into my dad's my family was receiving my texts from other people. I want to add my device to my dad's "find my iphone" app but without signing into his Apple ID on my phone because that was causing them to get my texts. I was told by Apple I could add my device to his by signing into icloud.com but there is no option that I can find to add my device. And I don't want to log back in to his.. Any ideas???

Also when I apply the safety copy it only imports the app the phones have had in common, so none of the apps that only the iPhone 4 had doesn't come in, only the ones I and the iPhone 4 has had in common. So you say the only way I can use the Apple ID to download on the old iPhone 4 is if I delete the apps that are in the phone and then download them again? How will that change the ID to download/update from. Won't it still have mine to update/download from?

How do I stop the texts from other iPhone users trying to reach the person who has my old phone number?

I no longer have cell phone service but I still use my iphone every day for apps and imessage. Now someone has my old phone number. It seems that this person does not have a iphone. Everytime one of their friends with an iphone tries to text them the message goes to my iphone. I have tried many things to stop this. I took my old phone number off my apple account and I took out my old sim card. But I still am getting texts from other iphones attempting to reach whom ever has my old phone number. HELP please. This person is very popular, at first it was funny now its annoying. I'm sure the person with my old number is even more upset than I since they are actully paying for service.

Hello there, lalaysa.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great recommendations for unlinking your old phone number from your device:
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538
Unlink a phone number
To remove a phone number from an Apple ID, sign out of FaceTime and Messages on your iPhone:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
This should remove your phone number from other devices using the same Apple ID with FaceTime and Messages. If the phone number is still available on other devices after you sign out of FaceTime and iMessage on the iPhone, you may need to sign out of iMessage and FaceTime on all your devices, then sign in to FaceTime and Messages again on devices you want to use.
Note: If you no longer have access to the iPhone that is using the number you want to remove, reset your Apple ID password.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

Check "Settings > Messages > Send and Receive" on her iPhone and remove the ID which is being used to identify your iPhone.

IMessage is blocking texts from other iphone users

I am not able to send or receive texts from other iphone users because of imessage. I am ready to quit Apple and ATT because of it. Both my wife and the manager of my business can no longer contact me because of the bugs in iMessage. I don't care whether the message shows up as blue or green, I simply want to send or receive them. First, their numbers only showed up as phone numbers instead of contacts. Then I added them as Iphone users and now I can't send or receive messages with them. I've tried deleting and adding and then deleting their numbers. Rebooting works for a bit. If they don't fix this bug, I'm quitting iPhone. Seriously.

If you'd like to calm down and actually ask a coherent question, we'll consider it.
Since you don't actually make any attempt to describe what the circumstances are or what happens when you try to send or when someone sends you a message, we can't offer much assistance.

How do I copy text from other users' replies?

I have seen people post text from other replies in a discussion. Basically, it shows a screenshot of their reply and under it is your own. How do you do this? Is it something that unlocks at a future level?
Thanks,
Ethan7988

Howdy Roger...
I said:
... if you know how to set "Size" while in Simple Editor, ALL my problems ...
I knew about the Advanced Editor... I just wonder why that very cool feature would not be considered "Simple"? It's not like there is not enough space for it
Also C O L O R would be nice...
Again plenty of room - for that matter, there is "almost enough room for ALL the tools on a single row. I'll let you switch to the Advanced Editor to compare
They could get rid of a couple of tools, IMHO. I'll speak to both Editors and once you see my point, you will see that all would definitely fit on one row.
Insert Video - I have NEVER seen even one video posted here
Table tool is NOT WYSIWYG when you post the reply (I tried but once and was so disappointed I gave up after that one attempt)
Spelling is pointless - all browsers worth using have their own built in spell active checker
Insert LINK is not nearly robust enough to warrant using it - except if one knows about the search capabilities in the pane's TABs
'Style' can all be done with Command + "a number key"
I have used "Font Family" (only see the title of the menu as it is loading) only once that I can think of
Why would a font appear different between Ppt for mac and mail? specifically the lower case "v"... spelled in a sequence
Justify = I have used TWICEto show that I could actually do it when pasting an Arabic GoogleTranslate reply = pasted translated composition of the the character order to begin with and got worse when right justified
HTML = I can never imagine needing to toggle this on and off but some one may
OR -- the Reply button could just invoke the Advanced Editor to begin with!!
best as always
