Why can I receive messages but can't send any

I have a iPhone 3GS I can receive SMS messages but cannot send any please help also why does my screen look like this at the top and why do my keys stick

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try all of those, then if there are still issues, provide specifics of what is occurring.

Of course you can't it is a generic document for use worldwide on every carrier mail service
The link will tell you how to set up with the info you will have received from TalkTalk when they installed your broadband
You just add that info for SMTP settings
in iPhone
settings>>>>mail contacts a7 calendars>>>chose relevant service (tiscali or TT which ever it is called >>>outgoing mail server
all as decribed in the above document
now read the doc again and follow the instructions once you have established the correct settings from your
TT documentation

I'm in a group message with 12 people. All are iPhone users, except for the token Galaxy user. I can receive messages, but I cannot send them. How can I fix this?

Title says it all

Hey kenth93939!
Here is an article for you about group messages that has some helpful information and troubleshooting tips for this issue:
iOS: Understanding group messaging
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5760
The Group Messaging setting applies only to MMS messages.
Your wireless carrier may restrict the maximum number of recipients allowed in a group message with MMS.
Disabling Group Messaging has no effect on iMessage behavior. Responses to group iMessages are always sent to all recipients.
Group messaging with MMS requires an appropriate plan from your carrier for use on iPhone.
Carrier messaging rates may apply when using group messaging with MMS.
Additional Information
It is not possible to remove yourself from a group message.
To add or remove recipients, you must create a new group message conversation.
If you experience an issue with iMessage, SMS, or MMS messaging, try the steps outlined in this article.
To learn more about SMS, MMS, and iMessage see iOS: Using Messages.
Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!

Can receive mail, but unable to send mail

am able to receive mail, but unable to send any whether through Mail or Entourage.
didn't have this problem yesterday. Strangely enough, i am still able to send mail through my yahoo.com account. so there's nothing wrong with my connection.
is there any fix to the problem encountered in my Mail.app?

Did you accidently change the port through which you send mail?
What smtp server do you use to send mail out? and please check the port number of that outgoing mail. It should be 25 for your own internet provider.

Why can I send but not receive them?

Why can I send but not receive them?

Macrumors posted a solution for this. I used it and it seems to have worked for me.
Here's what they said:
1. Turn off iMessage in Settings > Messages
2. Reset networking settings in Settings > General > Reset
3. Reenable iMessage in Settings > Messages

All messages are marked as spam, 5.7.1 ? how do I fix this, I can receive messages but cant send.

All messages are marked as spam, 5.7.1 ? how do I fix this, I can receive messages but cant send.

Oh with the rot that goes on with emails and spam filters these days almost anything can be considered spam. Mail addresses to your self can be all that is required for it to be spam on some systems, so test using your email address to check it is working must be done with an account not hosted bu the same provider, given the web site is not blacklisted.
I checked before replying, as brand new web sites are often blacklisted because they share a server or IP address range that is blacklisted (Poor neighborhood) or the server is run from a dynamic IP address and therefore considered to be a home computer with an infection.
One thing you can try is go to the account settings on the tools menu, open the settings pane by clicking on the account name and removing any reply to address. (some spam filters get all excited about reply to addresses. If that does not work I suggest you contact hostbox for a more detailed instruction on why your mail is considered "confirmed spam".
But please let us know how you get on.

HT2500 I can receive messages, but I can't receive them...???

OOPs.. I can receive messages, but I can't send them!!

Then that means that the user that you are trying to reach has not setup and registered Messages on their iDevice. They have to set it up first before you can reach them. And you can only message with other iOS users, not with Android devices or other cell phones.

I have set up my Yahoo! account to be used as default mail account on iMac. I am receiving messages, but cannot send them. All settings appear to be right. What can I do?

I have set up my Yahoo! account to be used as default mail account on iMac. I am receiving messages, but cannot send them. All settings appear to be right. What can I do?

The problems I am having are when I use Yahoo! with the iMac mail application. Yahoo works fine on the browser.
The outgoing settings I am using are:
Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): yahoo.co.uk (Offline)
Description: yahoo.co.uk
Server name: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Use default ports (25, 465, 587)
Use SSL
Authentication: Password
User Name: ********@yahoo.co.uk
Password: *************
Of note:
I cannot stop it from saying Offline after the outgoing mail server.
I have used the same settings on my ipad and iphone and that works fine.
Really grateful if you can help.
Thanks

TS3274 how come all of a sudden, I cannot send/receive messages, but I can receive e-mails in my Ipad?

HOW COME I CANNOT /SEND RECEIVE MESSAGES, BUT I CAN RECEIVE EMAIL?

Sending and receiving messages has absolutely no relation at all to sending and receiving email.
Your iPad is not a cellular telephone. It cannot send or receive SMS text messages. It can only send or receive iMessages, which are messages to/from other Apple devices (only) on a WiFi or a cellular network that supports iMessage.

Hi Tnolen15,
If you are having issues sending or receiving messages from a specific contact (in this case, your wife), you may find this portion of the following article helpful (ignore the numbering):
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and recreate the contact in the Contacts app. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.

Why I can't send any e-mail messages with 6230i?

Hi mates,
I have a Nokia 6230i with a Vodafone Italian sim card in it.
I know for sure that I CAN retrieve messages form my incoming POP3 e-mail server but I can't send any e-mail messages with it.
Any time I try to do that it prompts me an information balloon saying: message failed. Why??
I mean, I properly set up my phone with all Vodafone details but it still does not seem to work.
Any help will be appreciate
Stefano.
P.S.
I can even send and receive MMS and of course SMS too
Solved!
Go to Solution.

thanks mate for your reply
When you say: "Make sure your SP allows sending e-mail"
Do you mean the provider who give me the mail service?
Because I know for sure that with MS Outlook express I can send and recive e-mail with it
Bye,
Stefano.

Can receive emails but can't send any

Can receive messages but can't send any. What setting am I missing?

I had this same problem with my zoho mail account. It started when I changed my email password on the computer....Long story short I have been going crazy for a few days. I could receive mail, but couldn't send anything from that account! (Fortunately I have two other accounts which are a different server - gmail.) I turned my iPad2 off then on again...I did a sync with iTunes...I deleted the account and then added it back...Still it would not send..Just receive!
I did finally get it fixed, but it took about an hour poking around and looking for help here.
There were several problems:
1. Somehow the server port numbers were incorrect. So when I added the account back in, I found that the "incoming server port" was not correct and fixed it. But I didn't see how to check the "outgoing server port." - somehow in the setting up process, that just wasn't exposed.
2. Eventually I found the "outgoing server port" here: - Go to Settings - General - Mail - Account. Then tap on the Account you need to fix. Check the information there to be sure it is correct.
THEN: tap on the white bar just below the word "Outgoing mail Server"
That takes you to "SMTP"
You will see a primary server, and "other SMTP servers"
Somehow I had 3 there that were the same account server name (zoho) ..all with the wrong port number!
But even after fixing each one, I still couldn't send mail. This led to problem number 3:
3. Apparently having 3 of the same account was a problem. After I deleted all three of the accounts, then tapped on "Add Server" and entered the information back in again. Bingo, I could send mail!!
I don't know why, but now my "Primary Server" says "Not configured - off"
And all the "Other" servers say "off" as well.
But it's working so I am going to leave it as it is.
I hope some of this is helpful.
