Why can't i receive texts while on a phone call on the iphone 5s

I receive all my texts after I hang up with a phone call. I don't even get notifications of a text at all while on a phone call. I know with iMessage you can't receive them while on a call but for normal texts how do I change that?

New phone? Peeled off the protective plastic from the face of the phone?

  • Why can't I receive text messages from certain phone numbers?

    I cannot receive a text message from one particular number.  We have both checked our phones to make sure we had not blocked each other, which we didn't.  She also is a verizon customer but has an android while I have the iphone.  She can receive my texts but I cannot receive her reply. 

        Hi Coggin. Sounds like you and your friend started in the right direction to find out why her messages aren't getting to you. Budone has a great suggestion to make sure she doesn't have your number stored with a 1 in front. That can actually cause the Android phone to have trouble sending the message to your number correctly. Since you are able to send with everyone including her and she is having trouble sending to you, that tells me it's more likely something we need to look at on her end. Is she getting any error message? Are you the only one she has trouble sending to? Has she ever been able to send you a text before? If she has, when's the last time it worked? Is she using any third party messaging applications from the market? I know that's a lot of questions, but they'll help me get you up and running with the answers.
    Thank you

  • 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+.

  • How do i stop notifications from ringing while im on a phone call on the iphone 4s

    how do i stop notifications from ringing while im on a phone call on the iphone 4s?

    Basel,
    I'm not sure why these folks are having trouble understanding your request. I will dumb it down for them. Is there an option to have the iPhone only provide me with notifications when I'm not on the phone. Having my $800ish phone buzz and interrupt my phone conversation (after all primary function of this iPhone is being a phone) to let me know one of my Facebook friends has challenged me to a game of words with friends. I don't want my iPhone to not notify me at all. It can notify me after the call (again primary function) is complete. Going through menus and turning off notifications all together is absolutely silly. I wouldn't want to have to navigate through the menus and turn them off and then on an then off just to make or receive a phone call. Could you imagine answering you phone with, "hey, just wait I have to turn my notifications off so I can have this conversation." every time you wanted to talk on the phone.
    So yeah. Again not sure why they were having trouble with understanding you. I hope this helps clarify it for them.

  • Can I view/print a log of my phone calls for the last year?

    How can I view/print a log of my phone calls for the last year without going into each of my individual monthly bills?

        tinaro, managing your account online at My Verizon is easy breezy. You can view and print your call details for the last 12 months.

  • Why can't apple put a simple audible low battery indicator on the iphone?

    I get so tired of having my iphone shut down on me mid-conversation. My screen is black and up to my ear; my phone is in my purse while I'm talking on my blue tooth and also has a black screen; or my phone is on my hip with a black screen while I talk with my earphones. How in the heck I am going to READ a low batter indicator on my phone behind a black screen? That information would be very helpful if I weren't on my blue tooth. Actually, that 2% low battery notification would very helpful to me if my phone weren't up to my ear with a black screen. Why can't they put a simple audible low battery indicator on the phone?

    " How in the heck I am going to READ a low batter indicator on my phone behind a black screen?"
    You cannot.
    " Why can't they put a simple audible low battery indicator on the phone?"
    They can.  They have simply chosen not to do so.

  • My iPad is receiving the phone calls that the iPhone under the same iCloud account is receiving, how do I stop/prevent this?

    I have an older iPad that we use at my office for Pandora. My iPhone is connected to the same iCloud account as my iPhone is & once in a while my iPad will receive a phone call, not a FaceTime call, from one of my contacts that's trying to call me. It will say the contact's name up at the top like usual, it plays my iPhone ringtone, says "Slide to Answer" but also beneath that it says "from my iPhone." I still receive the phone call on my iPhone but I also receive it on my iPad & I'd obviously like it to stop. Can anybody help me out?

    Turn off iPhone cellular calls
    To turn off iPhone cellular calls on your iPad or iPod touch, go to Settings > FaceTime and turn off iPhone Cellular Calls.

  • Why can't I receive texts on my Galaxy S5 from friends still using iPhones?

    Apparently there's a huge problem with the Galaxy S5 receiving texts messages from iPhones.  I was never aware of it until I ordered my S5 and switched from an iPhone 5.  They never mentioned anything in the reviews on Verizon, Samsung or anywhere selling the S5 but if you google the issue, it's all over the internet.  They're blaming it on Apple but my sister has the Galaxy S4 and never had an issue receiving texts from my iPhone.  Apparently there's no fix for it either.  One person said they've had it for a month and still can't receive texts.  Any clues?

    iOS: Deactivating iMessage
    What are you talking about?. There is a fix. See link above.
    There are many more at the apple support site. It primarily means the imessage was never turned off from the Apple servers. Once removed text messages can be sent and received easily. Between iPhone and android device and vis a vie.
    Good Luck

  • Why can't I receive text messages on my Iphone 4S

    I'm not receiving text messages and not sure why or what to do.  Just picked up this 4S today as a replacement.

    Check Settings > Messages > iMessage ON? Send As SMS ON? MMS Messaging ON?

    Also talk to your carrier about messaging plans.

  • Why can't I receive text from iPhone users?

    I recently switched from iPhone to Samsung and now I cannot receive iPhone text. My provider said it is a apple problem with I message.  I am frustrated I have followed all the steps to remove my number from the iPhone but nothing has worked.  Apple wants to charge me $19.00 to talk to someone. Any ideas would be appreciated.

    You may be able to talk to someone to deactivate iMessage without a fee by clicking on "Other Apple ID topics" and then on "Messages and Apple ID" in the following: https://getsupport.apple.com/Issues.action
