Why am I having trouble sending/receiving text messages to a blackberry phone?

what can I do to enable my iphone 4 will not send or receive text messages from non-iphone users. 

It sounds as if you don't have SMS enabled on your account. Contact your carrier. They should be able to add that.

  • My LG Intuition is having trouble sending/receiving texts.

    At first it was with one contact...now it is with multiple contacts. Problem happens with contacts with that I have exchanged just a few texts or with contacts that I have exchanged lots of texts.  HELP, Thanks!

        Let's get all service running correctly! Definitely don't want you to miss out on any important text conversation. How long has this issue been occurring? Does this issue still occur while in Safe Mode? http://vz.to/1kgH9I6 If you have the opportunity I would suggest deleting current text threads once threads have been deleted head into Settings > Applications > Manage Apps > All > Messages > Clear data & cache ( if possbile)

  • Since last weekend (3-15-15) I have been unable to send/receive text messages with a friend who has Sprint service. The messages send with no errors on either side, but neither side is receiving the messages. Is anyone else having any similar issues?

    Since last weekend (3-15-15) I have been unable to send/receive text messages with a friend who has Sprint service. The messages send with no errors on either side, but neither side is receiving the messages. It seems to be only this one person affected by this issue, everyone else that I've tried sending messages to has responded with no trouble. Is anyone else having any similar issues?

    Retrohacker, Your text messages are too important to be missed! Let's figure this out, together. Are you able to successfully make and receive calls from your friend? Which phone do you have with us? Any new messaging applications or changes that you can recall on the phone since this issue began? Please share details so we can get to the bottom of this for you.  TanishaS1_VZW Follow us on Twitter @VZWSupport  If my response answered your question please click the "Correct Answer" button under my response.

  • I am not able to send/receive text message on my N...

    Hello:
    I bought a Nokia 5800 in India last summer. I used a local SIM card (Airtel) when I was there. I was able to send/receive text messages when I was in India.
    I came back to Chicago and replaced the Airtel SIM card on my 5800 with my AT&T sim card. I have a pay-as-you-go service with AT&T. I had used a Sony-Ericsson Z300a phone with my AT&T service before I bought my 5800. I did not have any problems sending/receiving text messages with the Sony-Ericsson phone using my AT&T SIM card.
    I don't have any problems using my 5800 with my AT&T SIM card for calling or sending/receiving multimedia messages. I just cannot send or receive any text messages. I have checked the message center number setting on my 5800 and it appears to be correct. I have also done a hardware reset of the 5800 and the problem remains.
    Any clues?

    Hello parsar. Even if you have the correct Message Center number there, it's worth a try to delete the existing one and enter the correct one afresh. Make sure you have the latest firmware on your phone, and that there are no applications that may interfere with sending/receiving sms, like some filtering software.
    Hope this helps
    And, pakiboy, resetting to factory settings (by typing *#7780#) will NOT delete anything in the phone memory.

  • Iphone 4s wont send/receive text messages.

    my iphone 4s isnt sending/receiving text messages. when i try to open messages it just says "messages" at the top and then it is a blank page underneath. all of my previous texts were also erased. i updated to IOS 8 2 days ago but the problem just started today.

        detti,
    Text messages are a vital part of a working phone. We encourage you to reset your device. Please back everything up via iTunes or iCloud. Then go to Settings/General/Reset/Erase All Content and Settings. This will reset the phone and correct anything that maybe causing the issue.

  • I would like to send a text message to a cell phone when certain alarms occur.

    I would like to send a text message to a cell phone when certain alarms occur.
    I have read some of the other post which don't give a straight forward answer on how to accomplish this task.  Also the newest post on this topic is from 2005.  I'm sure things have changed since then.
    Please help me with a step by step solution.
    Thanks for your help!

    You may use U.C.ME-OPC to send text messages to any cell phone. You may use a cellular modem that is connects to a serial COM port. In addition you may send an email that will be received as an SMS or eamil. If you use a cellular modem you may also send commands (for example: change or query values) from your cell phone to Lookout through U.C.ME-OPC.
    U.C.ME-OPC connects to Lookout using OPC or DDE.

  • I can call out but all incoming calls are going directly to VM with no signal that I missed a call or have VM. I can send/receive text messages from other iPhone/iPad/iTouch users, I am assuming this is really "iMessage." Is it apple software?

    I have spent hours on the phone with Apple and AT&T. I went thought reset, on/off, etc, etc with both companies to no avail. Each company pointed fingers at the other....as being the source of the problem.
    Problems: Suddenly ALL  incoming calls were going directly to VM with no signal I missed calls and/or had VM. I was also unable to receive all Text Messages...Oddly, I could send text messages to anyone (even non-apple users but I could not receive their responses)........then I when I got home I started receiving text messages from other apples users ONLY. I assume now - iMessage kicked in and I could text (send/receive)  other iPhone/iPad/iTouch users ONLY. ....yes, I could still (send) text messages to my husband's blackberry (he received my messages fine) but my phone would NOT receive his text respones.
    Finally, I googled the problem and found this community where other people have had the exact same problems! One person said he "turned off 3 G" which was the solution for him....so I did the same and VIOLA! My problem  solved! Nevermind the fact that I pay for 3G and cannot use it....so here's my question, if 3G is the problem on my phone is this an APPLE issue or a NETWORK problem? Do I purchase a new phone and slip in my same SIM card and hope the same does not occur or do I get a whole new SIM card and phone? What is the long term resolution to this problem?
    I am happy however to find that my problem is NOT an isolated incident and wish Apple or AT&T had told me this is not so uncommon because I thought (based on the baffled response from Apple) that this has never occurred before.  Where is Steve Jobs when we need him?

        jsavage9621,
    It pains me to hear about your experience with the Home Phone Connect.  This device usually works seamlessly and is a great alternative to a landline phone.  It sounds like we've done our fair share of work on your account here.  I'm going to go ahead and send you a Private Message so that we can access your account and review any open tickets for you.  I look forward to speaking with you.

  • I just upgraded my iPhone4s to iOS7 and now I am unable to make phone calls and send/receive text messages. Network signal indicator on the upper left side of the display shows hollow circles instead of full circles. Any idea how to fix the problem?

    I just upgraded my iPhone4s to iOS7 and now I am unable to make phone calls and send/receive text messaes. Network signal indicator on the upper left side of the display shows hollow circles instead of full circles (but with the network provider name). I checked with my colleagues in the office who use the same network and theirs work just fine on iOS7. Any idea how to fix the problem?

    I have also called my service provider and my service remains active in the network. I tried removing and reinserting my SIM but to no avail.

  • Why am I having trouble sending pictures through text message?

    Why am I unable to send a picture through text message?  I have an iphone 4s. This never happened with my iphone4. I am about to switch and give my preteen my upgrade and take my old phone back. This was a waste of money. This is with both people who have Iphones and people who don't. (IM and regular text). I can randomly get one to go through, but it usually gets to about 90% and freezes. I can usually upload photos to Facebook. This is such an elementary function for a phone!!!!

    1. you should contact your phone carrier as they handle all messaging.
    2. Are you provisioned by your carrier for MMS?
    3. if you are have you gone into settings to make sure that MMS is turned on.
