Unable to send or recieve texts/phone calls

my mom and I both have the iphone 4 and neither one of us are able to send or recieve messages or phone calls, the texts works very spuratically but this is extremely annoying! I need my phone for work reasons and if I am not able to recieve the calls how am I supposed to know if I am being called into work or not?! The techs keep telling us that it has to be the phone but with it being two different phones, how is that possible? Are we the only ones have this problem or is there a network outage somewhere here in Colorado that is affecting us? This needs to get fixed ASAP seeing as how I also had an emergency last night and could not place a call!

Southern California. Texts working OK, but no calls in or out. The cell phones all get "unable to complete"; when calling them from landlines there's either a fast busy or "not in service or disconnected." We don't use data so don't know about that.
The news said there was a big outage of data, both 3G and 4G, in many places across the country today, but that it was largely fixed by 2:30pm ET.
Probably overload from the RNC.

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.

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.

Droid turbo unable to send or recieve text messages over wifi

all of a sudden this past week I have not been able to send text messages over wifi, has not been a problem in the past with any phone I have had. Anyone else having this problem, I have a 64g and 32g in the house and both have the same problem sometimes a reboot works but only for a few minutes if at all. I then have to turn off wifi and reboot the phone to send text or I have to actually type the text again and send. very annoying.

Hellboy,
That's a very annoying issue indeed! We'll help figure out why this is happening and how to fix it for you. I was wondering about a few things. Are you using the messaging app that came preinstalled on the phone or one that was downloaded from the PlayStore? If it was downloaded, which app are you using? Also, does this primarily happen with longer text messages or messages containing pictures? Receiving texts is working just fine, right?

Has anyone else had this problem in the Leeds/Bradford area and what do I do. I have complained to EE but haven't heard anything yet and the coverage checker says all is well.

Hi ,
I have looked into this for you and can see we have been working on a few of the masts in the area.
This is due to be completed today. If you have problems after this call us on 150.
Thanks.

Unable to send and recieve text videos

Did you set to the lowest resolution possible before recording the video?
Can you try emailing it instead?

IPhone 4S no longer will send or receive texts or calls even though it shows I'm connected to my Sprint Server.

Hello everyone, I'm in need of some major help with my IPhone 4S. I'm very confused and frusterated! My friend had originally purchased two IPhone 4S phones about two years ago. I know this because he decided to give me his second IPhone 4S that was no longer being used by the person who had it before, since I didn't have a phone and he had it on a two year contract. That two year contract ended months ago and he renewed it for another two years. Everything had been working pretty well except crappy reception at my house every now and then, since I live in the middle of nowhere. But where my problem comes in is, for the past few days I haven't been able to send or recieve texts or calls at all. It just keeps saying failed to send when I try to send a text, and it won't receive any texts. When I try to make a call, it goes to a couple different weird recording things trying to ask what type of call I'm making, or saying the connection can't be made. I can't recieve calls at all. I have no idea why this happened, it was really random, and I'm very frusterated. It always shows my phone having two or three bars and service, more than enough to do these things, but for some reason it's ike it's become disconnected. This type of thing happened a few weeks ago, but only for a few hours and then I started getting all my texts and whatnot and it went back to normal. But now it's lasted almost a week. I have Sprint and even when it shows me having 3G service and all bars, it won't send or recieve calls or texts. I tried resetting network settings, and that didn't change or fix anything. I've also tried shutting it off and turning it back on multiple times and the whole airplane mode on and off thing and NOTHING is working. If any of you could help, or offer suggestions, that'd be awesome. Much appreciated!

I'll have to use somebody else's phone for the call, but I was thinking maybe that's my last option. :/ Thanks!

I am unable to delete whole texts from left-swipe. i click delete and they dissappear. But then i can't send or recieve texts. i reboot phone and deleted message reappear. i've synced, backup, everything. Help!

I am unable to delete whole texts from left-swipe. i click delete and they dissappear. But then i can't send or recieve texts. i reboot phone and deleted message reappear, but i am able to continue send/recieving texts.. i've synced, backup, everything. Help! I am doing this beacuse in my space on my phone my doucments and data are taking up 9GB of space, and i don't know why other than in my phone it says messages are taking up 8GB or so. I am running ios 7.0. I have synced my phone with itunes, backed up, reboots after deleting the texts, they never vanish, i have even restored from itunes and restored from a backup that didn't include the texts after i deleted them.

actually better to reset your phone and reinstall the latest firmware again after that restore your back up it should be ok

Unable to send or receive texts, talk to text not working, unable to talk to Siri. Two days now. Is it the phone? Is it the network? Do I really have to go dig out my old Blackberry to send a text after buying a $400 phone?

For the past couple days I have been unable to send or receive texts, can't use voice to text, can't talk to Siri.
Three reasons I have the phone.
$400 for a new paperweight. Just what I needed for Xmas!

We certainly don't want to lose you as a customer megarga! Let's partner together and get your wireless concerns addressed. When you received the iPhone, did you set it up as new or restored from a previously owned iPhone/Apple ID? What model iPhone do you have? If you have restored from a previous iPhone then how much available device memory do you have? As you share the details then we can customize a solution for you.
Thank you…

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.

Since updating to iOS 6 I no longer can hear the send and recieve text sounds when texting

Updated to IOS 6 yesterday and now I am having trouble hearing the text "swoosh" or whatever it is called while in a converstation the sound you hear when you send one or recieve one. Also when my phone is switched to vibrate mode when I receive a text message all my phone does is light up and it dosn't not vibrate which stinks cuz if it is my pocket I don't know if I'm getting a text message. I went into the message settings to try and set a vibrate tone for when recieveing a text and It won't even vibrate when I click on an option or click to create my own vibration pattern. My phone still however vibrates when I recieve an email or when someone calls me ect.... just not on texts and no sound when in a text conversation as in sent and recieved sounds. My sister, and both my parents updated to IOS 6 yesterday and they are having not probems of any sort? Anyone else have this problem and know of a solution? Ive already tried resetting my phone thinking maybe it was a glitch but still have the same problems.

I figured out my problem...... I have custom text tones set up for certain ppl and had the default text tone set to "none" well with the iOS6 update it made it so if your default text tone is set on "none" then you won't hear what I call the send and recieve text sounds when in a converstation... if you change the default text tone to any text tone other than "none" you will get your send and recieve sounds back.... kinda annoying if you don't won't random texts from ppl waking you up... so I made a custon text tone that is called silence with just recording a few seconds of dead noise then edited it and turned all the sound levels down to 0 and set that as my default text tone.... now I have the send and recieve text sounds in a conversation and everything is fine! Sorry Nehucskter the first time I had this problem thats the first thing I did was reboot my phone.... first thing you do for everything lol....

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.

My droid razr m will not send or recieve texts

I just switched to a Droid Razr M and it will not let me send or recieve texts UNLESS it is a picture message or a group message. It does not let me send or receive any other texts. I tried to reset all factory settings and it still did not do anything. I can make calls & receive calls, get on the internet, send and receive picture messages, send or receive group messages but not regular texts to just one number it has to either be a picture or in a group text. Its very frustrating because im not sure whats wrong or how to fix it. So if anyone can please help me or have had this problem before, let me know what to do or what you did to fix this problem! Please!

Have you tried shutting down the phone, removing the SIM card for a few minutes, reassemble and reboot the phone?
Otherwise there might be an issue with your text message feature on the Verizon Wireless server side. You will have to call into customer service at 1-800-922-0204 from another line to ask them to reset it for you.

After updating the IO7, I can no longer send or recieve text messages. What do I do?

Since I downloaded the IOS7, I havent been able to send or recieve text messages/iMessages or access my SnapChat account. I have called Apple 3 different times and they said they do not know how to help. Any solutions?

DrEvey,
Let's get your MMS messages sending and receiving again! Are you receiving an error message? Has this been occuring everywhere? Is your cellular data turned on? Please share some details so we can further assist.
