When I try to send a text message it won't go through

I just bought a new Iphone and have been trying to send text messages for hours and they won't send, what am I doing wrong?

What else happens when you reset the network settings?
I fixed this by turning off SHOW SUBJECT in the MMS button.
If you are texting to a person with an older phone, they can't see photos anyway.
I now use SMS exclusively with no subject which is not really needed.
And it seems to have solved the problem with my new iPhone I got last week

    In Contacts, do you have your sister's cell phone number and email address entered with her contact info?
    If so, you were provided the option for which one to select - her cell phone number or email address. If her email address was provided first with the autofill feature, you must have selected her email address instead of her cell phone number below.
    Regardless, if the message won't send delete it and start over making sure her cell phone number is selected when addressing the message.

    Try this...
    have a text convo with the person you want to delete. Go to the top contact in the text convo, hit edit contact, and delete that contact.
    That resolution came from another thread on this issue, and this did solve to poster's issue.

    Hello Joe,
    I found a few resources you can use to troubleshoot the iMessage issues you are experiencing. 
    I recommend reviewing this article first:
    iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime and iMessage activation
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4268
    If your Apple ID is activated in the Messages Settings and you still cannot send and receive iMessages, I recommend following the steps in the section titled "If you still can't send or receive iMessages" in the following article:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2755
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

    I updated my itunes and now when I try to send music to itunes it won't send the music to the folder I sent it to. What do I do this get this to work?

    in the iPhoto preferences ==> accounts delete your e-mail account and reenter it
    OR
    IMHO the better solution is to set Apple mail as the email client in the iPhoto preferences

  • Having trouble with the messages on mac my friends using it are coming not registered when i try to send them a message

    having trouble with the messages on mac my friends using it are coming not registered when i try to send them a message

    That's probably because they're not registered.
    Messages only works if your friend has an iphone.
    There is a workaround that can work, though.
    set up an AIM account online.
    in System preferences > mail, contacts, and calendars, enter your new AIM account.
    in Contacts, on your friend's contact card, look for AIM. Enter their phone number right before that, with a +1 before it, and the area code:  i.e., +11234567899.
    This doesn't always work. Their cellular carrier has to cooperate with AIM. Some do, some don't. If it doesn't work, tell your friend to get an iPhone.

  • Everytime I try to send a text message it fails

    My friend just bought an iphone 4 and she can not send regular text messages out.. only imessages to people that have iphones. She gets the alert notification saying it failed to send. Also she set up her email like it told her to and now her contact name is her email address. She just wants her name there... What do we do?

    When creating an email account, there is a name field to enter the name you want shown with the email address. Her name needs to be entered there.

  • Why do I get Error invalid number when I try to send a text to my husband?

    I tried to send my husband a text this afternoon from my phone. I keep getting a message from +1 (1) (216) 116-11. It says the following:
    7657905 Error Invalid Number
    Please resend using a valid 10 digit mobile number or valid short code.  HELP!

    My wife had this problem for the past few days for a specific phone number. These instructions fixed it -- without having to restore from backup or contact the carrier.
    http://www.timothydeblock.com/blog/2014/5/12/fix-message-sent-using-invalid-numb er-of-digits-msg-2114
    Open Contacts -> select the contact -> select edit -> scroll all the way to the bottom and delete contact (delete multiple entries of the same phone number, my wife had five).
    Open the Messages app -> select Edit -> select the red circle and then select delete. Do this for both the person and the messages you received.
    Open the Settings app -> scroll down and select Messages -> turn off messages, by selecting the switch, and any other options turned on.
    Turn off your phone and then turn it back on.
    Go straight to messages and compose a new message and put in the phone number of the person you're trying to text. Send and that person should receive the text message. Add the person to your contacts and go back into message settings to turn on any other options you want on that you turned off.

    I upgraded to 6.0 bundle 3049 & now my phone restarts when I select "Send" for a group text. Any suggestions on how to correct this, please? Thanks!!

    Settings > Messages > Send and Received > Uncheck any number/email that does not belong to the device
    Note: The little blue (>) will give you an option to remove the number/email from the device
    Note: Check this setting on any device(s) using the same Apple ID

  • When I open my Yahoo mail account, it comes up with lines between every entry. When I try to send a new message, the dialogue box is incomplete. The tool bar above the message box is empty so I cannot change the font or font size, etc.

    This problem does not occur when I open my Yahoo mail account in Internet Explorer.
    Because of it, I cannot use Firefox to access my Yahoo mail.
