Trouble Sending Text Messages On Samsung Galaxy Note 4

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and I have begun to notice, over the past several days, that text messages I send do not go through.  It works fine for most of the day, but there is a brief period where I am not able to send any at all.  I end up having to use a third party text messaging service in order to send messages.  Do the AT&T towers in my area get over loaded or something?

Hello there @calliekuczek
Sorry to hear you’re having issues with sending texts; I’d be glad to help you out.

Full name
Wireless number

We will reach out to you within 2 business days

  • Cannot send texts on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 in 713 and surrounding area codes (or anywhere)  Any ideas?

    Cannot send texts on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 in 713 and surrounding area codes (or anywhere that I know of).  Is anyone else familiar with this issue.  I receive texts just fine.  I have tried an alternate texting app and rebooting the phone and I have checked my account online to make sure now safeguards have blocked texting or anything else.
    It just keeps trying to send for a while and then comes back failed.  Everytime any number I try.  But I can receive texts.
    Thanks in advance for any ideas :/

        Hi EmotionOrDie,
    The Galaxy Note 3 is a fantastic device! I'm sure you're eager to use the device to the fullest of its abilities. Has this been an issue since you first received the device? Just to ensure that were on the same page, the 713 area code is the Houston, TX area?
    I would suggest clear all text threads that are currently on the phone. Once the text threads have removed head into Settings > Apps > Manage Apps > All > Messaging > Clear Data then test.

    julie@remax,
    I know that this would concern me just the same and we want to make sure that your device is connected and receiving these notifications when available. How long have you been having this issue? Are you receiving a specific error message when sending a message? Are you aware if this happens in one location specifically or everywhere you go? Does the issue with messaging occur with all numbers? Share some details, so that we may assist.

  • Send and receive mms and group text messages on Samsung Galaxy Core Prime

    I moved from a basic phone to a smartphone.  I used to be able to receive group text messages and MMS messages without having to use data or be connected via wifi.  Why is it I have to use data or be connected to a wifi sourceto receive those messages now?

    The antennae or radios in the Prime are configured differently than most flagship type smartphones and even different still from basic phones.  It comes down to difference of hardware.

  • My new iPhone 6 sends text messages from my email not from my cell number.  how to fix this?

    I have a new iPhone 6.  I am having trouble with texting.  Why do my texts go out from my email instead of my cell phone number?  How can I fix this?

    Settings->Messages->Send & Receive->Start New Conversations From
    Make sure your number is checked.
    Also if you reply to an iMessage sent to one of the email addresses listed in Settings->Messages->Send & Receive->You can be reached by iMessage at,
    you'll answer by default from that address.

  • Why cant my iphone 5 send text messages without getting and not delivered message?

    Whenever you send a text message it comes up non-deliverable. Is there a solution for that?

    Have you turned on SMS in settings >> messages?

  • Trouble sending text messages to a non-iphone

    I've tried several times to send a text to a friend who does not have an iphone and the text is sent back to me with an error message.  The error stages that I am not using a valid 10 digit number.  It is the correct number and I am using the area code.  My friend has sent texts to me and I get them with no problem.  When I try to reply to the message, I get the error message again.  I have other friends who do not have iphones and I have no trouble messaging them.  Any ideas of how to fix this?

    Hello there bwatzke,
    It sounds like you are unable to message a certain contact on your phone because it gives you an error message. I would use these troubleshooting from the following article named:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2755
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and recreate the contact in the Contacts app. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
    If those two steps do not resolve the issue, then use the troubleshooting in the article for the type of messages you are sending whether it be iMessage, MMS, or SMS to help isolate the issue further.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

    I am having the same issue with my daughters phones.  I believe its an issue with Pantech.  My daughter has a Pantech Crux and is able to make calls, receive calls, and send text messages but she is not able to receive any messages.  My other daughter has a Pantech Hotshot and is having the exact same issue. We contacted Verizon and went through all of the troubleshooting necessary and even reset the phone and it still didn't work.  Verizon sent out a replacement phone today (Crux) and the issue is still not resolved.  This tells me it's an issue with Pantech... maybe a software update was done?? Both of my daughters are teenagers and mainly communicate through text messaging, so I am sure anyone can understand that they are in crisis LOL.  Any suggestions on what to do next?

  • I am having trouble sending texts to other Iphone users

  • Is there a way to block someone from sending Text Messages ONLY?

    I would like to block a family member from sending text messages but I do not want to restrict calling abilities in case of an emergency.
    I have gone to My Verizon>>Safeguards but this option only seems to allow you to block on an "All or Nothing" basis.
    Is there a way to prevent someone from sending you text messages while still allowing phone calls?

    Thanks for your response. I have an I Phone (I Messages) but the party that I want to block does not have an I Phone.

  • Cannot send text messages to Verizon customers

    Hi
    I cannot send text messages to other verizon customers but can send to non vz. This has been happening since last night. Is there an update I need to perform? I have an iPhone 6 plus. Thanks

    Hi
    Thank you for your message. It seems like it is certain Verizon iPhone users. I did not download any new apps or perform any software updates on my iPhone. The ppl I could send text messages to were non VZ non iPhone users. Today I can only send to some iPhone users. They also had error messages sending text messages to me but not to my daughters iPhone (we r on a VZ family plan). Do I need to perform an update like *228 or something like that? Thank you!

  • I just bought an new ipad mini with wifi and cellular. Is there any way to send text messages to people and contacts that do not have iphones such as friends with blackberrys or a samsung galaxy smartphone.

    I just bought an new ipad mini with wifi and cellular. Is there any way to send text messages to people and contacts that do not have iphones such as friends with blackberrys or a samsung galaxy smartphone from this ipad. Everytime I try to send a message to a person that does not have an Apple product ( Iphone or Ipad ) it comes up saying contact is not registered for iMessage and wont send it. I can only send them a message from my iPhone 4 instead. Do I have to install a new App from the App store to send these non iMessage cell users a message?

  • 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

  • I can not send text messages

    this is a new problem on my g4.  all of a sudden I can not send text messages when i am in my home.  this happens on my s4 and my sons s4 but my daughter uses an iphone and she is not having this problem.  i can receive texts, facebook, email etc I just can not send texts.  Nothing in my house has changed except that Comcast just put in a new modem, I am not tech savvy at all so not even sure that would affect my out going texts
    any suggestions would be great

        Hi scrappy1989,
    Let's see what's causing the problem! Are you using a 3rd party messaging application? Are you having trouble sending picture and text message? Do you experience the issue with everyone you send a message to? Do you receive an error message? I look forward to hearing from you soon.
