Verizon Moto G Can't Receive Messages From Non-Verizon Phones

I recently had my Moto G activated with a ported number from another carrier. I can make and receive calls, but can only send out text messages. I can only receive texts from friends who also have Verizon. I have dialed *228 numerous times and contacted Customer Support via chat, but to no avail. I still can't receive text messages. Please help!!

Thank you Snn5. I was thinking it may have to do with the port process. Hopefully it will resolve itself in the next day or two. I appreciate your quick reply and advice.

  • CAN I RECEIVE MESSAGE FROM MY CELLULAR SERVICE PROVIDER IN MY iPAD MINI CELLULAR ?

    Hi Using iPad,
    Can I receive message from my cellular service provider in my iPad mini cellular?

    Be aware though..
    If you send an iMessage to an iPhone that isn't using WiFi, they will be charged for receiving the message..
    The same goes with the iPad sending the message: if you are not using WiFi..
    That is incorrect. No cell carrier charges for a message sent by and received by iMessage other than any relevant data charges. The carrier doesn't even know the message is any different from an email message or any other standard Internet traffic. Only if the iPhone was not set up to iMessage and hence receives the message via SMS would there perhaps be a charge, and that will depend on the cell plan. The iPad cannot receive messages via SMS at all so there will never be a charge.

    Yes, I already talked about this to my carrier. Do you think it doesn't have any problem with the phone?

  • Can I receive messages from Skype when my ipad is in sleep mode and the app is closed?

    Ok, can I receive messages from Skype when my ipad and iPod touch are off, and the app is closed? Becuase my mom sent me a message and I did nott receive it. I have to have the app running or running in the background to receive messages. Is there a way to recieve messages when my ipad and ipod do NOT have the app running?

    The ipad may keep a connection alive in sleep mode.. but it should only use local connection AFAIK, and no internet content.
    I have a similar setup with iPad and although it has an IP it is not actually reachable on the network. I will track usage and see if it is actually using anything but I would doubt it.
    Now of course it may depend on what apps you have running. I really doubt the ipad will be using that much of your download unless you are watching movies on it.

  • Why can't I receive messages from a Droid phone on my IPad?..

    Why can't I receive messages from a Droid phone on my IPad?..

    SMS is part of cellular voice communication.
    iPads do not do voice over cellular.
    iMessage is Apple devices only.
    If you want to send and  receive SMS you will have to download an app from the store, such as text+.

    Activate iMessage on both your phone and your iPad.  Then send an iMessage to the email address you are using for iMessage on your iPad (which is shown in Settings>Messages>Receive At).

    I am currently having the same issue. Went from iphone 4 to Galaxy s3.  I changed user ID and Password online // turned off all imessages and icloud on I phone // also deregistered phone on itunes on computer // Verizon stated it would take 24 hours but nothing has yet updated // I went to the site to unregistered on apple support but the phone wasn't even listed on there. Is there anything else I should do? Should I just go back to my iphone at this point.. its been over a week. please help extremely frusterated .. thank you!
    Call Apple Support.  They have a procedure that can unregister your Apple ID from iMessage and the phone number, as long as you can still receive regular text messages at the phone number on a non-iPhone.

  • Can't receive messages from just one group. Can receive messages from each of the individuals in the group separately

    I am not receiving messages from one particular group of people on my phone.  I am receiving other group messages and can receive messages from each person in the group individually.  iPhone 5c.

    I am right there with you. This describes my problem to a T. Only other issue I am having is group texts. Iphone users who include me in a group text still send as imessages as well, so even if I text them first and they reply, it send as an imessage. Get it together apple.

  • Still can't receive messages from Iphone Users

    Greetings,
    I know there are many topics asking similar questions if it's googled, and I think I have read through almost all of them to no prevail. I know veterans of these boards probably get tired of seeing the same topics, but im desperate and will try to keep it quick. I really appreciate any help.
    I recently upgraded from a 4S to a Galaxy S5 and have not been able to receive messages from Iphone users since. I still have my old Iphone. Here are the steps I've tried:
    1) Ensure "IMessage" is disabled in my old phone
    2) Unregistered my phone number with my Apple ID. I currently have no phone numbers registered with them
    3) Changed my Apple ID Password
    4) Unregistered my Iphone with my ITunes Account.
    5) I also have a Macbook Air and a 2010 model IMac. I have also ensured I am signed out on those devices and my phone number isn't linked in anyway I could find.
    6) I called Apple 3 Days ago and the representitive was very nice and professional but ultimately was incorrect. He advised me that the new IoS7 is more advanced and should check about every 12 hours to see if the user on the other end has an active IMessage account. He said to wait 24 hours just to be safe. He also advised people running older IOS systems could take up to 3-4 days to contact me correctly. Furthermore he said if after that time frame their phones still sent me IMessages instead of SMS then THEY were having problems and should call Apple. I just really doubt that is the case.
    I have tested it out with 5 Iphones now with help from some friends, all running IOS7 and still no luck 3 days after the phone call to Apple.
    7) I tried logging back into IMessage today on my Macbook and it worked, I was still able to send and receive texts from Iphone users. This seems like it should not be possible since it is not linked to my phone number anymore. It is logged into the same Email that I used to have linked to my phone number.
    Now as others have said, If I have them hold down the bubble and send as text message 3 times their phone will remember and keep sending my texts, however that is unreasonable to ask everyone to do. There should just be a way to completely delete your Apple ID. Is there anything I'm possibly overlooking? I really appreciate any help.

    I am right there with you. This describes my problem to a T. Only other issue I am having is group texts. Iphone users who include me in a group text still send as imessages as well, so even if I text them first and they reply, it send as an imessage. Get it together apple.

  • I can't receive mail from my verizon/yahoo account on my imac running snow leopard.  I checked all settings with verizon but still have the problem

    My mail application on my imac will not download mail from my verizon/yahoo account.  I contacted verizon and confirmed my settings to be correct.  I don't get any error messages, I can send mail but I can't retrieve it from V/Y.  Connection doctor shows all connections with a green light.

    Mail/Preferences/Accounts
    Incoming Mail Server:  imap.verzon.net
    Outgoing Mail Server(SMTP):  smtp.verizon.net:your email [email protected]
    If that does not work, call Verizon for instructions.
