  • New iphone and not receiving some calls and txt's....Y???

    I just got the phone yesterday and they put a new sim in the phone. Immediately began to work and used it for most of the day with no problem. Then around 5 started not receiving texts back from people and also not receiving phone calls. Now the texts come in very late. Anywhere from 10-30 minutes after they have been sent and the phone calls are heading straight to my voicemail and not even ringing. I need help! Is this a hardware problem on the phone? Sim problem with ATT? HELP!!! Thank You!

    You'll need to contact ATT about this. They handle the voice and text portion of the phone.

  • Why does my iPhone 5s not receive incoming calls

    My iPhone 5s does not ring when receiving incoming calls yet I have signal, do not disturb is off and I receive texts or voicemails notifying me of a missed call which I can return immediately. What is going on? How can I fix this?

    Yes the ringtone works. I know you are trying to help however I am fairly tech savvy and have eliminated all basic user defined settings that could cause the issue. The issue is not that there is no sound the issue is that there is no call incoming notification at all. The call does not connect to my Boone to even make it ring and display as a missed call

  • Why is my iPhone 4S not showing my caller Id info while I'm a call

    Why is my iPhone 4S not showing my caller Id info while I'm a call?

    As in the manual page 49:
    Call forwarding, call waiting, and caller ID
    The following information applies only to GSM networks. For CDMA networks, contact your carrier for information about enabling and using these features. See support.apple.com/kb/HT4515.
    Turn call forwarding on or off: Go to Settings > Phone > Call Forwarding. The Call Forwarding icon ( ) appears in the status bar when call forwarding is on. You must be in range of the cellular network when you set iPhone to forward calls, or calls won’t be forwarded. FaceTime calls are
    not forwarded.
    Turn call waiting on or off: Go to Settings > Phone > Call Waiting. If you’re on a call and call waiting is turned off, incoming calls go directly to voicemail.
    Turn caller ID on or off: Go to Settings > Phone > Show My Caller ID.

  • My iphone will not receive/send calls or texts when my computer is on? Help?

    Recently I've noticed my iphone is having reception problems while I'm in my apartment. I've noticed that when my computer is on, my iphone will not receive or send any texts or calls and has problems connecting to the internet. This is a pretty new development, I've had my phone for years with the same computer and no problems before. Any ideas?

    Your computer and iPhone 4 are two seperate elements really using different connections.
    i.e your computer will probably use your router to connect to the internet where as your iphone uses your mobile phone carrier to send and receive texts and calls.
    So its pretty difficult to judge how they can effect each other. You try resetting your router, but ive never heard of anything like this happening before...

  • New iPhone 5 not receiving (some) iCloud email

    Hi all,
    I know there have been other related issues with iCloud mail, but mine is very specific.  I have a brand new iPhone 5 (my very first iPhone!).  I'm having problems with the phone receiving any iCloud based emails when sent from other than my own Macbook Pro or the iPhone itself.  Here's the specifics:
    My iPhone5 will not receive any iCloud based e-mails coming from any computer or phone EXCEPT my Macbook Pro and the iPhone5 itself.
    I can send e-mails to my 3 iCloud related e-mail accounts from my Macbook Pro, and the iPhone will receive these e-mails.  The Macbook Pro computer itself also receives these e-mails.  Also, e-mails sent FROM the iPhone5 using those addresses are received by the iPhone5 itself AND the Macbook Pro.
    If e-mails to any of these 3 e-mail addresses are sent, apparently, from ANY OTHER computer or phone (i.e. a computer or phone other than my Macbook Pro or my iPhone5), the iPhone5 just doesn’t get those e-mails.  E-mails sent to the above 3 addresses from other computers/phones ARE received by the Macbook Pro.
    Oops, I have an update.  I appear to now be getting emails to the .mac account (which is one of the iCloud emails), but those are coming from outside locally. The emails that my wife sends to me from her phone (not an iPhone, but we are both on Verizon) don't show up on my iPhone.  Neither are emails from my son, who also has an iPhone on Verizon showing up on my phone.  It was beginning to sound like a possible Verizon problem, except that my wife's computer has nothing to do with Verizon...we are connected to the Internet by Cox Communications.  This is getting more bizarre all the time!
    Can anyone help me?  I have an appointment at the Genius Bar this coming weekend, but I'd like to fix this before then...

    Hi there.  When I send emails form my Macbook, yes, all the emails are in my Sent folder.  I asked my wife to send me an email from her phone again this afternoon, and again, it dod not show up on my iPhone.  I logged into my iCloud account, and in this case, the emial she sent just happedn to end up in the JUnk folder on the iCloud.  I think this was just a freak, though, as she was using nonsense in the subject line, just to send me something, so the iCloud thought it was junk.  However, when I moved the mail to the inbox on iCloud, the mail showed up on my Macbook, but still did not show up on the my iPhone.  So, problem still exists.
    As far as removing nad adding account, I triued that several times yesterday with Apple support on the phone.  No benefit to this, unfortunately.

  • IPhone 4S not receiving some SMS since 5.0.1 update

    Hello,
    I've bought an iPhone 4S from Telus back in October. At the beginning, I was having a lot of trouble receiving SMS but after a while the problem disappeared. However, since I updated the phone to 5.0.1, the problem is back. I can have a conversation without any problems and then it will just stop for hours because I never received an answer, when the person actually sent the message seconds after my last one.
    Any ideas? Do you believe the problem is related to Telus or the iPhone?
    Thank you very much,

    Let's do a little recap:
    - Do not detect in iTunes/XCode on my iMac Mid-2010 running Mountain Lion 10.8.2 (Both 4 and 4S)
    - Do not charge when plugged-in on my iMac Mid-2010 running Mountain Lion 10.8.2 (Both 4 and 4S)
    - Soft Reset from the phone does not work (Only tried on iPhone 4)
    - Hard-Reset from the phone does not work (Only tried on iPhone 4)
    - DFU Mode will not trigger the iTunes. (Only tried on iPhone 4)
    Perhaps it is not widespread, but it is annoying. Especially when the iPhone 4 is my work phone and I need it to deploy/test my App before submitting to the App Store!

  • My iPhone does not receive call phones

    My problem is that most of the time my iPhone does not receive phone calls. I can call, send and receive sms, mail works, wifi, everything. But most of the incoming calls are not received, therefore my iPhone is not reliable as a phone. I have updated the firmware, I have reset it several times, but nothing changed. If I make a call phone and don't switch my iPhone, the person I have call can call me back and likely I would receive the call!!??? Someone can help me to fix my problem? Thank you in advance.

    It sounds like the ringer is not ringing after the update to iOS 7.  I found an article with some steps to take when you are experiencing issues like this:

  • Not receiving some texts

    Not receiving some texts

    I'm having the same problem and it's iPhone users whose texts I'm not receiving.  Initially I thought it was just texts initiated by a friend, but I just found out its also some in response to my text.  I've known about the problem for a week now.  When I posted about it, the one response said it was the other person's phone issue and not mine, but now I'm not convinced since it's 3 people having trouble with it.

  • I am not receiving some texts messages as of 2 days ago

    Please help. I am new to the site. My iPhone 4s just started not receiving some text messages in the last 2 days. Any ideas?

    There's a small vocabulary issue here.
    "Reset" means a specific action, which does not involve iTunes at all.  You reset your iPhone by holding the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.  You could try that - it's risk free - but probably would not work.
    "Restore" (not reset) is something you do using iTunes.  Plug your iPhone into iTunes on your computer (current version: 11.1.3).  Let it sync.  Then choose "Restore" from the iPhone's summary tab in iTunes.
