Unable to send or receive text messages

I just activated my Droid Razr and I'm unable to send or receive text messages.  Sending and receiving phone calls and emails works fine.  Any ideas?

    Thanks to the community for your contributions.
Hello Tim952,
I use text messages on a daily basis to keep in touch with friends and family so I understand how important it is to get this resolved. How long have you had this issue? What zip code are you located in? Do you receive an error when sending a message? Are you using a third party messaging application? If so, please remove and retry with the stock messaging application. Please share additional details so I can better assist.

  • Unable to send or receive text messages after updating iOS to 7.0.2

    I am unable to send or receive text messages aftering updating to iOS 7.02. I have an iPhone 4S. I have run all the suggested troubleshooting still can't text. I have been to my carrier, AT&T, there is no issue with my account. AT&T suggested resetting the phone to factory defaults (thereby wiping it clean). I am trying to avoid that as I had issues with transferring data & contacts before. Any one have a work around?

    Try this iMessage workaround
    Look for a fix by Apple by the end of the week.....

  • Unable to send or receive text messages after apply s/w update on Q10

    After apply software release 10.1.0.4181 (size 6mb) on my Q10, I can no longer send or receive text messages, pls help. At first I thought the text messages were only collapsed, but I am unable to send, receive or open any previous chat. I have rebooted the device multiple times, including removing the battery. When trying to do a text message, system seems stuck on the last message received yesterday, and am unable to open this chat session, reply, compose. I cannot compose for any contact, nor able to receive any text messages. PLs help !!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I removed my battery again, this time left out for 5 minutes. SMS is now working again. (previously approx 2 min)
    However, the problem I was experincing, I have had before, where I cannot send an sms message. I believe I may have hit a hot key and basically does not allow you to send a message. Typically I reboot at this point and sms works again. I will try your new os option after I verify all is working properly again.  Thank you for your help.

  • Droid 2 Global-Cannot Send or Receive Text messages

    I have a Droid 2 Global and the text messaging is not working. Whenever I try to send a text I get a message that it has not been sent. I also asked a friend to text me, and the text did not come through. I tried rebooting the phone (removing the battery and such), but that was to no avail. I am unable to send or receive text messages. Does anyone have suggestions?

    Wow that must be very inconvenient! Do you know when you last able to send or receive a successful message? Are you able to send and receive e-mails? Is it possible you have a message blocking feature on your account? Are you using a third party messaging app or the standard messaging application from the handset?

  • Having horrible service with 4GLTE I have had 3G for several weeks (I am not the only person I know having this problem), I have reset my network settings and it did not resolve the issue.  I am also unable to send SMS and text messages without them eithe

    Having horrible service with 4GLTE I have had 3G for several weeks (I am not the only person I know having this problem), I have reset my network settings and it did not resolve the issue.  I am also unable to send SMS and text messages without them either failing or not sending at all.  Is there an outage in the Cleveland, Ohio area (zip codes 44129, 44134, 44137) or anything else I can do to resolve this issue?

    Not that I'm a Verizon employee, but I have experience in the field. An LTE tower will only extend up to, on a perfect day, with no elevation, 6-7 miles. On a typical day, you will be lucky at four (4) miles. The three ZIP codes you've given are all within about a 12 mile radius. That would mean that 2-3 towers are currently down at the same time, and Verizon would know about it within the hour. Being it's Cleveland, I'm sure they would receive numerous calls regarding an outage of that size.
    My point is that if you're having issues in all three ZIP codes, chances are it's a phone issue. If you're handset is simply not receiving LTE, but still receiving 3G, that would signify a SIM card issue. You need to get your SIM card replaced.

  • Brand New Iphone 5c can't send or receive text messages of any kind!? I've tried everything, why does no one have a solution for this? There's no way we're keeping a phone that can't even perform one of it's most basic functions. Help!

    Got the new Iphone 5c from Verizon today and was really happy with the phone until we realized it is unable to send or recieve text messages AT ALL. We've tried everything, searched the internet for hours, I've tried live chatting with Verizon and Apple ALL DAY and somehow keep getting "disconnected" even though my internet is working perfectly. The phone is pretty much useless if it's unable to perform one of it's main functions and it's really dissapointing to add a line, get the phone, only to discover a major problem with seemingly no solution whatsoever. Is there any fix for this? Because a phone that is incapable of sending or receiving a simple SMS message is pretty much useless. It's too bad too because I really love the phone if not for that. Does anyone have a legitimate way to solve this problem? We've done everything, network resets, turning imessaging on and off, factory reset, etc. etc. etc. and nothing works. Please help.

        Hello Idkallday!
    I know your device sends and receives text messages! Let's get to work on this! Did you port your service from another carrier, or is this a new number? Is your previous device still powered on?
    I also want to ask if you are able to use iMessaging, and if you see any error message when sending?
    Please test it by sending a message to your own mobile number, and keep us posted!

  • Unable to send or receive media messages. LG Lucid

    I got this phone in mid-April, however since getting it I have been unable to send and receive media messages. I am however able to send/receive media emails. I am using Chomp SMS for texting, as the default messaging application wasn't splicing long texts (sending one blank message instead, or simply failing to send). However, even with Chomp I am unable to receive/send media messages. I am at first given a "download" option for the media image/file, and then it turns into an unlinked box and a URL that never leads anywhere.

        I understand the importance of communicating via text and I'm here to assist you! You are currently using a 3rd party application in which we do not support but I would like to get to the root of the problem. Can you attempt to send a picture message to and from your self via the stock messaging feature that originally came with the phone? Once you attempt to send/receive the message please reply back with the results.  I look forward to hearing from you soon.

    I'd be lost without my text messaging! Let's get this up and running for you. Were you able to text before the plan change? Are there any other Verizon Wireless customers having the same issue? Also, what type of device do you have?

  • Unable to send or recieve text messages

    For some reason I am unable to send or recieve text messages, can anyone help me with this situation

    Hi ,
    Is your Orange phone still working? The EE phone will have a temporary number until yours transfers over.
    When this has transfered you will need to do the below:
    Update your number
    Go to Settings > Phone > My Number.
    Replace the temporary number you find there with your own number - use +44 instead of the first 0.
    Then tap Save.
    Reset iMessage settings
    Your iMessage settings won't reset themselves during porting - the temporary number will still be in your new iPhone.
    To input your old number into your new iPhone:
    Go to Settings
    Tap on Messages
    Tap iMessage ON
    Scroll down to Send & Receive number
    Replace the temporary number with your old number
    Then tap Save.
    That's it, you're all ready for action. with your number.
     

  • Is there a software in which I can hook up my iPhone 4s to my computer and send and receive text messages and calls (via headset) through my computer?

    Is there a software in which I can hook up my iPhone 4s to my computer and send and receive text messages and calls (via headset) through my computer? Whether it's free or cost money, can someone please give me a name of a program or software that allows me to do this? I can't seem to find anything like this for the iPhone.

    No.

  • My wife and I share the same email address and Apple ID.  We are not able to send and receive Text Messages to one another.

    My wife and I share the same email address and Apple ID. We are not able to send and receive Text Messages to one another. Is the cause of this because we share the same Apple ID? Will we have to set up 2 separate primary email addresses to be able to  send and receive Tex Messages to one another? Like I said, we share the same email address and woul like to keep it that way to keep up with our email together. Is there a way to by-pass having to set up 2 primary emaill addresses if this is the problem?
    Thanks.

    go to the settings and turn off imessage
    but that don't change the issue that you will never be able to facetime eachtoher
    the appleID is really meant as the handle that identify you it was not meant to be shared
    but can see that people may want to do not buy apps more then once

  • After updating to IOS 7.0.3 I can't send or receive text messages. Everything is working and normal.

    After updating my ipad to IOS 7.0.3 I can no longer send or receive text messages. every thing else is working normally.

    I have the same problem since updating to IOS 8.3. Any app to which I want to send a new link via IMessage does not allow me to select a contact to send the IMessage to. Using a pre-existing thread does not have same problem.

  • Unable to send or receive texts and calls

    For nearly two weeks I've been unable to send or receive texts and calls I have tried resetting my phone deleting existing call / text convos and taking the sim out of my phone 4g internet still works but nothing else I'm using an iPhone 6. Why can't I send or receive anything?

    Hi ,
    Very sorry this is happening,
    Have you tried the SIM in a different phone?
    Also have you tried a network reset?
    Note: Resetting the network settings will clear all WiFi passwords and refresh device network connections.
    From the home screen, tap Settings.
    Scroll down to, then tap General.
    Scroll down to, then tap Reset.
    Tap Reset Network Settings.
    Tap Reset Network Settings to confirm.
    Note: If a security code is enabled, this will need to be entered between steps 4 and 5.
    Thanks.
