    Why can't I send and receive text messages on my new 5c ?
    I can send imessages. I can sometimes send texts. But I cannot ever send picture texts. and I am not receiving texts.

        Antny,
    Yikes, this is no bueno let's get these messages back up and flowing. Are you able to send out regular text messages ok? Ensure your Picture Messages feature is turned on, follow these steps: Settings>Messages>MMS Messaging. Also ensure Send as SMS is turned on as well. If these features are turned on then try this: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings then retest. Keep us posted please.

    Another thing you can try is to ensure that the setting for ( send as sms if imessage unavailable ) is turned on, this can be found in Settings : Messages. If this doesnt work you can also try changing the contact details to read mobile instead of iphone.
    That setting is not relevant to sending SMS messages to non-iPhones. It only affects what happens when an iMessage won't go through to an iOS device. And, what the phone number is labeled has no effect on anything. You could create a custom label "Rutabaga" and the SMS would still go through if the account was properly provisioned. Those labels are for human brain convenience only.

    Reset the devices: Hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go.

    i am having a hard time recieving text messages from iphone users on my android device even after deactivating my old iphone and imessages. i dont know what else to do, apple is no help and want to charge me for assitance?!?!?!
    <Edited By Host>

    You can try the following on your friends phone:
    1.  Remove the contact card
    2. Then turn off iMessage and then back on again
    3. Go to Messages and compose a new message
    4. Press +.  This will make a list of recent contacts pop up.
    5. Click on the info button number of the contact you are trying to reach.
    6. Remove from Recents
    7. Try to compose another message
    8.  If the message attempts to send as blue (imessage), press on the message.
    9 Option to send as SMS will appear (as long as they have SMS turned on.
    10. Repeat and rinse.
    11. Messages will start changing over to all SMS as the user will show as non-imessage user.
    Hope this helps

  • Why can't I send or recieve text messages?

    So about a month ago I dropped my phone in the snow and to replace it I had a really old flip phone. Once I activated that phone, I received a flurry of messages, like you usually would if you turned your phone off and several people texted you. Though, once I tried sending one, the message would fail to send and would say that there was no signal. After that, I couldn't receive messages either. I could, however, call and receive phone calls.
         I called customer support and they said that I should try bringing it in or it might be due to the age of the phone. So I got a hold of an LG Cosmos and activated it, however with the same problem: can make and receive phone calls but no texts. Any help?

        RedKoiFish,
    Here to help get those messages flowing again! Was your previous device an iPhone? If so, are users being sent messages iPhone users? Zip code? Has the previous device been powered down?

  • Why can't i send or receive text messages to some users from my iPad while there is no problem texting them from my iPhone?

    Why can't I send or receive text messages to some users from my iPad mini while there is no problem texting them from my iPhone?

    With the Apple iMessage app, You can only Message with other iOS users - iPads, iPod Touch, iPhone users and Macs running Mountain Lion or higher. With your iPhone, you can send standard SMS text messages to any phone, including Android phones.
    The iPad cannot send SMS messages or receive them either.

  • Why can't I send or receive picture messages on my iPhone 4s?

    Why can't I send or receive picture messages on my iPhone 4s?

    Make sure that MMS is turned on in Settings. Sometimes that can get turned off during an update, if you recently did that. Next try would be a reset. If that doesn't help, then contact the carrier, as SMS and MMS are carrier specific functions.

  • 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.

  • HT201229 Why can't I send or receive text messages on my I pad.

    Why can't I send or receive text messages on my I pad.

    1. Messages on the iPad can only be sent to other iDevices
    2. They must also be registered with iMessage
    Note: The two above conditions must be met.

  • Why can't I copy and paste the music from my iPhone on iTunes 11 to a folder in my Music Library?

    Why can't I copy and paste the music from my iPhone on iTunes 11 to a folder in my Music Library? I want to have a copy of the music on iTunes so when I update to a newer version of iOS I don't lose my music. And no I didn't buy this music off iTunes and neither will I use iTunes Match.

    There has never been a function to copy anything from an iPhone and paste it to a computer.
    All of your media should be in iTunes already.
    If it is not and was purchased from iTunes, right click on the device and select Transfer Purchases.
    If the media is not in iTunes and was not purchased from iTunes, how did you get it on the device in the first place?

  • Why can't i send a single text message to more than 10 contacts??

    Why can't i send a single text message to more than 10 contacts??  I use AT&T

    That's a built in limitation of iOS. If you need to send messages to larger groups of people, you'll either need to send them in  batches of 10 or use a dedicated group messaging app. GroupMe works pretty well. Blackberry Messenger is also an option, though I don't like the interface as much.

  • 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
