Unable to send text messages after ICS

After ICS install I just found out that although I receive text messages replies or new messages are not sent. It appears that they are but recipients do not get them. Reboot, battery pull, cache wipe and soft reset have been tried. Any other suggestions?

I'm sorry to hear about the problems encountered with your phone, Corky54! I appreciate all the steps you already have taken to resolve this issue. At this point, the next best step is to complete the Master Reset. Be sure to backup all of your data prior to completing the reset.

HT4993 I am unable to send text imessages after update on 4S...please help and thank you. They just sit there in the sending mode.

I am unable to send text messages after the update. They just sit there in "sending" mode. Thank you.

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste (command-V) into the text box that opens, then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
I've seen an unconfirmed report that the "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you might need to remove it as well, if applicable.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

IPhone 5 Showing incorrect Time. Unable to send text messages.

Ok here's my problem. My time on my iPhone is incorrect. I check my settings it's on automatic and it is set to my Hawaii time zone. I am unable to send text messages because I believe the time is not the same as the server. When I try to send a text it says Go to Date & time settings. This happens at least once a day. My time would be incorrect for 10 mins then go back to correct time. This happens on LTE and on WiFi. I also have rebooted the iPhone. One last thing. I check my battery usage. It's says 4,294,967,278 days on Standby. I guess the time is messing up my stats. Anyone have the same problem? Please help. If not I hope new ios update fix this.

My house is in an area that is covered by 3G. But I work in an area that is 4G-LTE. (Actually, my house is right on the border of these coverages because I notice it switching from 3G to LTE periodically.)
Anyway, what I notice is that when I switch from the LTE to 3G network, my iPhone 5 clock gets corrupted. It's 2h22m off. Weird. It doesn't do it right away, but after I'm home for awhile, I'll notice that the clock has been changed. I know this corruption causes errors in my iMessage app because I've gotten an error message about it. It may cause errors in others.
Once I leave my house and go back into stable LTE coverage, I can do one of the following to correct the clock (because it won't autocorrect):
- turn the phone off and then back on
- go to Settings => General => Date&Time and switch "Set Automatically" off and then back on
These fixes will also work if I stay in 3G coverage.
This has happened every day since I got the phone so I know it's a real bug. I'm sending a support request to Apple today. Otherwise, however, I love my iPhone 5 and LTE speed makes all the difference.

Error Message - Unable to send text message!

Hi, hope someone can help me with this.
I have started getting this error when i send a text from PC Suite via my 7610. The text sends properly and this error shows up.
Setup:
Windows XP Pro - Service Pack 2
PC Suite Version - 6.70.22
Bluetooth connection.
Started out of the blue with no warning.
I have tried removing the battery from the phone and putting it back in. I uninstalled and reinstalled the suite.
Any help Appreciated.

i had the same problem. sending an sms with the pc suite produces the unable to send text message error. i tried removing SMSsync, PC support form the phone as described in the forum. None of this helped for me.
eventually uninstalled pc suite from the pc. then ran the pc suite cleaner, it can be found here:

reinstalled the pc suite and that solved the problems
sms's sent via pc suite are now sending successfully

I cannot use my iPhone to make calls or send text messages after upgrading to ios 7

I just upgraded to ios7 and I can no longer make calls or send text messages. The screens seem to be locking. Does anyone know what I can do to fix it?

My wife is having the exact same issue after updating to the new iOS 8.1.1 and we've tried all the same steps even restoring the phone as a new phone. We've contacted our service provider and they've told us to go to apple to potentially "remove" her serial number from their servers to allow it to work properly on the service we have. We are desperate as purchasing a new phone right now is not an option and she desperately needs her phone for work and life.

E90 unable to forward text messages after software...

Hi,
I recently updated my e90 to 300.34.84 software and now I am unable to forward text messages. You can only forward by manually typing in the numbers. If you choose via the "add recipient" option, it brings you to your contacts list and you can mark "x" on the box beside the name however there is no "ok" option, just a "back" option which if chosen, brings you back to the text message you want to forward without any name on the top. Any help on how to solve this is much appreciated

try doing the following on the senders iPhone : http://ios.wonderhowto.com/how-to/fix-delayed-imessages-text-messages-after-upgr ading-ios-7-0148663/
then see if you can receive SMS from him.

What happens when you try to send a message? If you get an error message,
what is the exact complete wording of that message?
Are you using iMessage or a 3rd party app?
Is your account properly provisioned for messaging if using other than iMessage?

I am unable to send text messages in Message. I can receive messages but not send. I am able to do both with my iPhone. Why can't I send?

Why can't I send text messages on my iPad? I can send and receive messages on my iPhone.

Hi Kathy,
Happy Holidays! Do you have an iPad with cellular service and a text-messaging plan?
Send messages with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201287
What's the difference between SMS/MMS and iMessage?
SMS/MMS lets you send text messages and photos to other cellular phones or devices. iMessage lets you send text messages and photos to another iOS device over Wi-Fi, without worrying about text-messaging charges (cellular data charges may apply).
What do I need to use SMS/MMS and iMessage?
Here's what you need to use SMS/MMS and iMessage:
SMS/MMS: A text-messaging plan. Contact your carrier for more information.
iMessage: An iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later.
How do I know if my message used SMS/MMS or iMessage?
You can tell which type of message you're sending by the color of the Send button and text bubble.
SMS/MMS: Send button and text bubbles are green.
iMessage: Send button and text bubbles are blue.
How can I link my iPhone number with Messages on my iPad, iPod touch, or Messages for Mac?
When you sign in to Messages with your Apple ID on your iPhone, you link your phone number to your Apple ID. If you then sign in to Messages with the same Apple ID on your iPad, iPod touch, or Mac, Messages will link that device to your phone number as well.
I hope this information helps ....

Nokia E63 Unable to send text messages, message se...

Hello,
I currently have a NE63-3 phone and is currently loving it, however, two days ago, i started getting a "sending failed' error message everytime I attempt to send text messages and when I click on the details, it would say, "not enough memory, please close other applications..." I have enough load credits to perform such activity, and i do not have any other applications running in the background, plus the phone memory is nowhere near full capacity. I have already checked the message center number and I currently have the correct settings, I have already peformed a reset but to no avail. I am able to receive text messages, able to make and receive calls, wi-fi access is okay, the only thing I cant do is send text messages...
I know there are other e63 users out there who might have experienced the same thing, if you have the resolution or any idea how can this be resolved, please, i need your recommendations and it will be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

i cleared all my phone mem txts and memory card too but msgs sending failed changed the sim card as well. but didn't work too! I can call with ma phone even can use internet but cant send txts
