Verizon iPhone 5 not sending or receiving texts. iMessage worked for a day then stopped or messages were severely delayed.

New iPhone 5 on Verizon will not send or receive texts. In the beginning iMessage worked for about a day and then messages started to be delayed by hours. Eventually even these messages were not being sent. Reset network settings followed by a soft re-boot land still no change. Any ideas?

For iMessage problems, try this:
- Sign out of iMessage
- Reset your network settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- Sign back in to iMessage
Best of luck.

Iphone 3 doesn't send or receive text Imessage waiting for activation

my iphone 3 doesn;t send or receive text messages under settings, Imessage is waiting for activation. I have downloaded Itunes again but still doesnt work

Do you have iMessage on? I couldn't send iMessages and still don't know how to fix it. I switched it off and the phone started sending plain "green" SMS.

My iphone 4 will not send and receive text messages at random times

My iphone 4 will not send and receive text messages at random times. My brother has the same phone, lives in the same home and doesn't have this problem. I can't receive messages without my iphone displaying a message asking for my phone number at random times. It happens intermittently. Does anyone know why this happens? I am referring to regula text messages not imessages. I have turned it off and also updated to the most recent software. thanks

I've been an AT&T customer since they were under different names in the 90s and have never heard/seen that. I would check with them. I'd really like to see that error. To get a screenshot on the phone, press the home button and sleep/wake button together quickly and release. You will see the screen flash slightly and hear the camera shutter noise.

My iPhone 4 will not send or receive texts.

My iPhone 4 has all the latest software in it. It will not send or receive texts. When trying to send a text it says not delivered .It was working and then just stopped. I did a reset on the phone but it didn't seem to help me.

SMS is a carrier feature, what did they tell you whether your SMS is properly provision?

? Exalt does not send or receive text messages

My Exalt Android phone will not send or receive text messages and the Verizon support area is not responding.

We apologize for the delay, DieselDoug!
What device do you have exactly? We want to make sure we get the texts to work again. We are not familiar with Exalt Android.
Are you using a text app?

IPhone6 is not sending or receiving texts from non-Apple users, except when in Group texts. I've tried the various fixes on the main support page to no avail. Any ideas?

Have you contacted your carrier to make sure there's no issues with your account?

IPhone 3GS not sending or receiving texts

So, my phone hasn't been sending or receiving texts for about two weeks now. I did some research on the internet, and I already tried turning it on and off and turning 3G on and off. Also, my dad used to work for Apple, so I already knew to try resetting my phone, restoring it to factory settings, etc. It still isn't working. Is there anyone who knows how to fix it? Or if it can even be fixed?
Thank you so much!

No, I haven't. Should I check on that before I take it to the Apple store?

Nokia Lumia 920 does not send or receive texts

I have 2 new Nokia Lumia 920 phones and neither one can send or receive text messages. I try to send messages between the phones and it appears alright but nothing happens

Have you the correct message centre number? Your provider should have this on their website.
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.
Now using the Lumia 1520

Just got an iPhone 5 and does not send or receive texts

I have re-powered the phone, checked for updates and it still does not text. Any suggestions?

Thanks but I don't think Sprint is the problem. We have house guests and they all have iPhones, 3 on Sprint, one is a 5 and none of them are having issues. And when I Googled the problem I saw folks from Verizon, Sprint and AT&T all talking about the smae issue...

Any suggestions as to why my iphone4 suddenly, at full power , will not send or receive texts or make or receive calls?

Any suggestions as to why my iphone4, at full power, suddenly will not text or call? In or out?

Hey peterss2,
I found the following steps for when you're experiencing issues making or receiving calls. If you haven't already, I would start your troubleshooting here:
Follow the steps below to resolve this issue. Please test after each step.
Toggle airplane mode: Tap Settings > Enable Airplane Mode, wait five seconds, then turn off airplane mode.
Check your phone settings:
Check your Do Not Disturb settings: Tap Settings > Do Not Disturb.
Check for any blocked phone numbers: Tap Settings > Phone > Blocked.
See if Call Forwarding is turned on: Tap Settings > Phone > Call Forwarding.
Ensure that your software is up to date:
Check for a carrier settings update.
Check for an iOS software update.
Note: Some updates may require a Wi-Fi connection.
If the iPhone has a SIM card, reseat the SIM card.
If the iPhone 4 or iPhone 4s is on the Verizon network, dial *228 from the iPhone and select option 2 to update the Preferred Roaming List (PRL). The PRL determines the cellular towers the phone uses for cellular service, selecting those with the best signal strength.
Reset the network settings: Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Try to make or receive calls in another location.
Attempt to isolate to one network band:
If you're having the issue on LTE, disable LTE, if possible, and try again.
If you're having the issue on 3G/4G, disable 3G/4G, if possible, and try again.
Contact the carrier to check the following:
Your account is properly configured to use the specific iPhone that has the issue.
There are no localized service outages.
Your account doesn't have a billing-related block.
Your calls don't have errors on the carrier system.
Restore the phone as new.

My phone does not send or receive texts in the past hour

Every text I have tried to send fails immediately. i have shut the phone off and took the battery out and in. customer service is terrible i can't reach them at all on the phone. calls work fine but texting is completely shot. whats up with this?

Yep, here too. Chicago suburbs, 630 area code, old LG feature phone.
Must be a Verizon outage of some sort but it'd be nice if they told us...

New iPhone 5, worked for two days then screen went black.

Plugged the phone in to charge, it was working, unplugged it to move it and the screen had stopped working. Like it was dead. I could still hear the phone so I knew it was still functioning. Did a soft reset, nothing, no apple logo, nothing. Turned it off. Nothing. Restored it through iTunes, nothing. Should I take it in as it seems to be a hardware issue as opposed to a software problem?

Hello Janelds,
I suggest this section of the iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Display has no backlight or dark screen
Toggle the ringer switch to see if the unit vibrates. If it does, it could be that iPhone is getting power, but is not displaying any image.
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
While connected to the iPhone charger, try to reset the iPhone.
Regards,
Sterling

Sending Mail works for a while then stops

Im having this issue since I upgraded to Lion... When I open mail I can send a couple of emails then its stops.. It looks like it doesnt recognize the stmp server anymore... so I close the program and then start again... I have another couple of emails i can send then it stops functionning... quite annoying... I erased my account and made a new one... same problem... anyone has an idea whats going on?

Hey Allistah,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like Photo Stream works but stops and a restart fixes it. A frustrating situation for sure. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
iCloud: Get help using My Photo Stream
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3989
Close the Camera app on the device that took the photo. Photos won't upload from an iOS device to My Photo Stream until you close the Camera app.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,
Mario
