Why do my text messages on my 4s take 10 minutes for friends to get them?

why do my text messages on my 4s take 10 minutes for some friends to get them?

If you are referring to actual SMS messages and not iMessages, then you would need to take that up with your carrier. SMS is a carrier function, which uses the cellular network and they maintain it. You would need to troubleshoot with them.

  • I deleted text messages over the last six months, and I want to get them back. I didn't have my I-Phone 4S backed up. Can I still retrieve those texts??  I read somewhere that texts are never really deleted for good.

        I have a I-Phone 4S and I deleted text messages over the last 6 months. I didn't have my phone backed up with I-Tunes or anything. Is there a way to retrieve all of those deleted text messages??  I read somewhere a while back, that texts are never really deleted permanently. Can't find information on that. Can anyone help please?

    Where would you expect to retrieve those deleted message if you didn't backup your phone?

  • Why am I seeing my daughter's contacts only on my MB (synced I assume from her iPhone) and why does my text messaging on the MB all viewed like she is receiving them?  Even on my phone, a message I sent to myself as a test shows up as "mom"

    Why are my daughter's contacts the only one showing up on my MB and why do all text messages now, including on the MB and my iPhone show up now as if she's receiving them, even when they are sent to me based on her contact list?

    It's called iMessage, new in iOS 5.0...these messages are going as iMessages, and as designed, they appear on all of your iOS devices(your Apple ID on your daughter's phone). Either turn iMessage off on your daughter's phone or get her her own Apple ID & wipe her phone & then setup it up again using her own Apple ID. Your daughter having her own Apple ID is recommended if you want to fully take advantage of iCloud, FaceTime, iMessage, etc. She can still use your iTunes account.

  • HT4515 why are my text messages all of a sudden in green and do not say delivered?

    why are my text messages all of a sudden in green and do not say delivered?  Also for the first time since I obtained the phone I went to use the headphones and the insert to headphones is very loose and I can connect for about 10 seconds then nothing, I do believe it is the jack that inserts into the phone or the phone receptacle is bad or the headphone piece that goes into the phone is bad it is not working is the main issues.  Thank you

    I should also mention we have 2 other iPhone users and 1 Samsung s5 user in my home not having the same problem.

  • Why do my text messages go to my iPad and not my iPhone please

    Why do my text messages go to the iPad and not iPhone when they are both switched on?

    Hello Margey,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Without doing any troubleshooting it's difficult to say what could be causing the issue of your iPhone not receiving iMessages.  Please follow the troubleshooting in the article below:

    Take care,

  • Why are my text messages showing up on my wife's IPhone 6 and her Text messages showing up on my iPhone 6?

    Why are my text messages showing up on my wife's iPhone 6 and her test messages showing up on my IPhone 6?

    its because you guys are using the same Apple ID on both devices , when you use the same it connects to iCloud/iMessages so when ever you get a text on any other iPhone with there iMessages on its going to show on both devices because its the same apple ID that you are using for your iMessages , you can fix that buy gating a new apple ID for one of you ,ore go to your system preferences then go in to your iMessages  remove your email from there make shore its only your number on there ,but the best why is to get another Apple ID.

  • Why are some text messages blue and some green

    Why are some text messages blue and some green?

    Blue text messages are iMessages (with other iOS and Mac users with iMessage enabled).
    Green are regular SMS messages to non-iPhone users and iPhone users with iMessage not enabled.

  • HT4137 Will doing this erase old text messages?  If so, is there any way to avoid losing them?

    I just looked read iOS: How to back up your data and set up as a new device.  I've been having a few bugs, but do not want to lose my old text messages.  Will setting up as a new device and then syncing erase old text messages?  If so, is there any way to avoid losing them?

    You will not lose text message, if you back up your phone correctly and then restore from that backup.  If your going to restore your phone as new and not from backup, then your text will not be there until you decide to restore from that backup.
    If you don't want to lose the message, take a look in the app store to see if you can transfer to your computer.

  • Text Messaging Plans - Which plan would be best for me?

    I tried looking all over the Verizon website but only found nation-wide plans for text messaging.
    I currently pay $9.99 Data Package (Mobile Email) which I hardly use for my Samsung Reality phone. I saw that the offer said "Mandatory Data Package" so I asked the Best Buy Verizon representative there - he told me that even when Verizon says it's "mandatory", there are ways to get around it and that it wasn't mandatory. SO I foolishly thought he canceled it for me, later to find out we were billed for the $9.99 package. I called Verizon but to no avail, I was told it was mandatory. Enraged, I decided to just make the best of it. :'(
    1. Can I replace the $9.99 Data Package with a text messaging plan instead?
    2. What text messaging plans are available, and how much do they cost?
    3. Are there any text messaging plans that cover all four lines for me and family members? Or two? - Perferably cheapest and limited.
    Reasons:
    - My parents (two lines) don't see it necessary to use text messaging. So maybe a text messaging plan for two lines (for my sister and me).
    - I know there are times when sending a text is much more convenient and for college, I keep finding it more and more useful to have (i.e. professors that accept texts as urgent communication, texting a roommate or friends to ask a quick question without having to feel as if you've called them in class or at a wrong time, etc .. and also to text my family to let them know I'm okay when we're all busy with our lives (calling would be best of course!)) - (as well as it's social benefits ;D ) SO I'm wondering if there is any plan that would best fit the needs of my family members & myself.

    If you have Talk minutes only you can add:
    $5/mo for 250 texts (sent and received)
    $10/mo for 500 texts PLUS unlimited texts M2M
    $20/mo for 5000 texts PLUS unlimited M2M
    This is per line, and each line on a family plan can have its own bundle.
    It makes more sense to bump up to the Talk & Text plan and get unlimited texting on all lines, if you have 3 or more phones and everyone likes to text! You have to determine what you can afford, how much texting you will do to figure out what will work for you.
    If you can get by with 250 texts a month, the $5 plan may work (but they go fast, believe me!!)  For $10, you can have 500 texts plus all your texts between you and your sister and other Verizon phones are not part of the 500 limit, they are unlimited.
    For $30 (the cost increase from the Talk plan to the Talk & Text plan), all of the phones on your family plan will  have unlimited texting to anyone on any network.  My suggestion would be to try the limited plans first, then bump it up if you keep getting close or going over your limit.

  • I have a 4 month long text message thread conversation. What's the quickest way to get to the very beginning of the conversation?

    I have a 4 month long text message thread conversation. What's the quickest way to get to the very beginning of the conversation?

    The startup.exe file is locate in the \NI-RT\STARTUP directory. 'cd NI-RT' then 'cd STARTUP' should get you to the right place after making the connection with ftp. I don't recognize PH_EXEC.EXE. Logging in as anonymous is fine. I don't recall seeing documentation on the file structure and locations on the module but I'm sure there is some. I just wandered around w/ftp.
    The program to update the node should be below. Enter the IP address, the green light will confirm the node is found.
    The version function scans the existing startup.exe for a string beginning and ending with " RU Version " and prints everything in between as the version.
    The autostart function will copy the existing ni-rt.ini file to your computer, mod
    ify the autostart as requested, then put the file back. Leaves the copy on the PC, which can be handy.
    Send file will request a file of the format startup*.dat which will be renamed startup.exe and ftp'd to the module. Lets you keep version numbers in the filename on the PC side. Your directory structure probably won't match mine so you'll have to browse for your file.
    Reboot module reboots the module.
    Hope this is useful, let me know if anything doesn't make sense. Thanks.
    Matt

  • I was sending text messages this morning but all of a sudden I stopped receiving them.  I have found out that I can send them but can't receive them.  Can anyone help me?

    I was sending text messages this morning but all of a sudden I stopped receiving them.  I have found out that I can send them but can't receive them on my mac book or on my wifes mac book, but can receive my messages on the iphone!!!   Can anyone help me?

    If you're referring to iMessages, then the problem is that Apple is having server issues. If the problems your having are with standard SMS, post back with further details.
