  • IPhone can't send/receive photo texts from non-iPhone users

    I've noticed a lot of other people with this same problem and so far nobody has a solution. I've tried resetting my iPhone 4 and was on the phone for an hour with AT&T last night to see if it was a problem on their end as someone else had mentioned. Nope. Basically, I can't receive any photos through text messaging (MMS) and I can't send any photos through text messaging with anyone who doesn't have an iphone. I used to be able to. Not anymore. Doesn't matter if I'm on wi-fi or cellular. I've checked to make sure I've got MMS on. I do. I've reset network settings, we've even switched radio towers to try that. Nothing.
    Can someone help?

    I'm with AT&T IOS 6 and have no issue with MMS.
    if that link doesn't help, call AT&T back and talk to a supervisor, as messaging is carrier related.  Also make sure you have MMS turned on.

  • TS2755 Texts from other iphone users not coming through while roaming.

    I am roaming daily in the US.  Ever since I upgraded to ios 7 my phone won't receive any texts from other iphone users unless I am on wifi.  Texts do come through from non-iphone users.  I do have cellular data shut off while roaming (I don't want to be charged roaming fees for facebook notifications, emails, etc.) but this never stopped texts from arriving before updating.  I pay $20 a month to text from the US and want to be able to utilize this feature!  Any suggestions? 

    Settings -> Messages --> see what is checked for receiving messages
    Does your iPad have 3G/4G?
    If not then most likely the messages are going to your Apple ID email
    You can uncheck that and just leave your number checked
    It should then come to your phone

  • Having trouble receiving texts from other iphone users since I updated my software

    Hi there,
    I am having trouble receiving texts from other iphone users since I updated my software to IOS7. Also I am unable to get i messenger to work, it keeps saying waiting for authorization. I am wondering if anyone else is having these issues and what I can do to fix it.
    Thanks,

    She turned imessage off, then turned it back on again and now it seems to be fine.  Not sure what she did, but she says she's ok now.

  • Anyone else having trouble receiving texts from other iphone users?

    My daughter has an iphone 4S and just called from college, she can't receive texts from other iphone users anymore.  Worked fine until yesterday.  She can receive texts from me, but I have a droid.  Any idea if this is a Verizon problem or something wrong with her phone?

    She turned imessage off, then turned it back on again and now it seems to be fine.  Not sure what she did, but she says she's ok now.

  • IMessage is blocking texts from other iphone users

    I am not able to send or receive texts from other iphone users because of imessage.  I am ready to quit Apple and ATT because of it.  Both my wife and the manager of my business can no longer contact me because of the bugs in iMessage.  I don't care whether the message shows up as blue or green, I simply want to send or receive them.  First, their numbers only showed up as phone numbers instead of contacts.  Then I added them as Iphone users and now I can't send or receive messages with them.  I've tried deleting and adding and then deleting their numbers.  Rebooting works for a bit.  If they don't fix this bug, I'm quitting iPhone.  Seriously. 

    If you'd like to calm down and actually ask a coherent question, we'll consider it.
    Since you don't actually make any attempt to describe what the circumstances are or what happens when you try to send or when someone sends you a message, we can't offer much assistance.

  • Iphone 5 broke switched to old iphone 4 but cant get texts from other iphone users cant do anything with iphone 5 like i said its wayy broke

    IPhone 5 broke switched to old iPhone 4 but cant receive texts from other iPhone users cant do anything with iPhone 5 screen does not work

    I'm guessing that you turned off the iPhone 5? If so, then are you using the same phone number as the 5? You need to go into Settings>Messages>make sure that iMessage is turned on and activated. Then go the Send & Receive and find out if your current number is checked.

  • Why can't my Iphone 4s  receive texts from other iphone users?

    I got my phone maybe 2 weeks ago and had no problem sending or receiving text messages. For the past 2 days, i have not been able to receive text messages from other iPhone users. My texts go through just fine but I never get a response back until they call and are like "well what do you think about blah blah?" But I have sent and rec'd text messages from people with other devices. What is going on?

        Oh my! Let's ensure these text messages are flying both in and out of your device. I would suggest completing the newest iOS 7.0.3 update. Once this has been completed I would suggest retesting. Settings > Software update
    You may also test with iMessage off. This will send messages to and from iPhone's as a regular text message. Settings > Messages > iMessage - Off

  • Can't receive SMS texts from non-iPhone users

    My phone suddenly stopped letting me receive texts from non iPhone users yesterday. Since then, I have powered my phone on and off, reset the network, and power cycle. My mother has been in the hospital and I have to be here with her all day. I have no time to go to a verizon store. I've only had the phone a week and I'm really disappointed with this. Seeing my mom is in the hospital, I really need this to be working, but I'd don't even know of something else to try.

        Ktoole, I can understand how frustrating this could be. How long has this been an issue? Have you ever been able to receive texts from non-iPhone users? Do you have iMessage on or off? Have you tried to restore the phone through iTunes?

  • Have iphone5s-unless I am in wifi, I cant receive texts from other iphone users unless their imessage is turned off. Help

    If in wifi zone I have no problems as the imessage to immesage works.  However, when wifi off and cellular data on I cannot recieve texts from an iphone user unless their immessage is turned off.  These iphone uses recieve my messages but I do not recieve the replies.  Help?

    Under Settings>Messages>
    Make sure Send as SMS is on . If it is on and the error still occurs go to Send and Recieve, and make sure your phone number is the ONLY thing listed.

  • When iMessage is off, I dont receive texts from other iPhone users.

    I do not like iMessage because it uses data so I have it off.
    BUT I do not receieve the Text messages from other iPhone users. BUT my mac does gets them.
    What I am trying to say is that Person A sends me a text to my phone number from the Text Message app, but since they have iMessage on it goes to my MAC instead of my iPhone.. I dont get it.

    Imessage doesn't use data.  I would say SMS uses more data.
    When you turn off imessage on your Mac what happens?
