Galaxy S6 :: Why Cannot Send Or Receive Text Messages With New Samsung Phone
Nov 28, 2015
I was able to send and receive text messages on my Samsung Galaxy SII which I have had since July 2012. I am on Bell network. A Bell customer service agent told me that Bell needs to update their towers to accommodate the programs that newerSamsung phones are using.
I have a strange issue,if my phone hasn't sent or received a text for a few hours I am unable to send or receive text messages,turning on and then off aeroplane mode fixes it instantly.Its like my phone has "forgot" my network.
I am unable to send or receive multimedia text messages but I am able to connect to all my social medias just fine. I have plenty of data left and I am disconnected from my at home wifi.I've tried rebooting it and trying to send a multimedia message while connected to wifi and nothing has worked.
My Galaxy S5 was bought new and boxed on August 6th. After 5 weeks it started playing up as the ringtone would play over and over with every new notification (FB, Twitter etc) meaning I had to turn the phone off. A reboot and Zedge app delete sorted this out however now I find I cannot sent text messages but I can receive them. I can also post on all social media but not send a text.
I have twice restored the phone to factory settings which solves the problem for about a week, then it returns. I'm on 4G with Unlimited Texts and I'm not over my allowance. To date I have tried the following which didn't work....
* Switched the phone off then back on * Installed the latest software * Switched to Flight Mode then back again * Checked the text message centre number (+447782000800) is correct * Restored phone to factory settings (twice) * Removed WhatsApp * Removed all music and video media
I managed to get my text service up and running (so far) by clearing the message cache. Here is how to do it on Samsung S5 APPS - SETTINGS - scroll down to APPLICATIONS - APPLICATION MANAGER - scroll across the screen to the left to the 'ALL' menu - scroll down to MESSAGES - CLEAR CACHE. Finally re-start your phone to allow changes to take effect.
when i first got my phone there was no issue receiving pictures from my husband in his text messages to me. now when he sends pictures it just says "downloading" but nothing ever comes through.
Why am I unable to receive text messages from my husbands phone (Samsung Galaxy SII)? We are both on the sprint network and I can receive text messages from everyone else, regardless of the carrier or phone. I love my iPhone but when I can't text the most important person I need to, it's just ridiclious!
1.X2/Aspen can't send and receive mobile phone text messages Is there phone menu settings? 2.With WLAN-enabled mobile phone, open the WLAN if the way to access the Internet, then browse the web or other access, GPRS/EDGE/3G network traffic would not be taking it? 3.X2/Aspen how to Android series of mobile phones in the mobile terminal as the temporary closure of access to GPRS and MMS.
I just got a Samsung s6 and can't receive group messages. neither samsung or AT&T can tell me why it won't work. I can send group messages, but don't receive any responses. is it because the other group participants have iPhones? and if so, how do I get around this?
I have tried several things like touching the + sign in the lower left hand corner of the text message that I am sending. This sends me to other icons and from there I am lost. I know I am probably missing something very simple.
I can send text messages but can't receive any text messages (sms). Ideed, i have a message like that : "message memory full" i delete a lot of messages, i don't have any video or pictures, my memory is not full, so i don't understand why it's like that. I have this probleme for 4 days ant it becomes very annoying. delete any message cause i delete three-quarters of messages..
I can't really receive any messages. It's all delayed. I'm from Philippines. my iPhone had been unlocked since my mom bought it in USA. I can't receive any messages here in our province but when I'm in Metro Manila, it's working.
I have been able to send text messages, but cannot receive them. I've taken the battery out twice and still nothing has come through. I can receive emails though.
I have a 3.1 Firmware JailBroken by Blackra1n since it was released.2 weeks ago I lost the ability to send and receive text messages, I'll send them and no error shows but the person never receives them and I never receive theirs, NOT a network problem as far as a can tell. I want to restore it but am afraid of losing 3.1 and having to upgrade. THE REASON I want a jailbroken iphone IS for MYWI, sharing my internet connection with others.
My husband gave me his Blackberry for a day so I could send emails from his phone. We switched our sim cards since we have the same carrier. While I had his phone and when we switched back, the phone would not send or recieve text messages
I recently discovered that I am not receiving text messages on my iphone 6. I also found out that the text messages I thought that I was sending are not being received by the recipient. I an however successfully sending and receiving iMessages. I purchased the iPhone 6 in August and didn't have any issues sending or receiving texts until about two weeks ago (early November). I have iOS 8.1.1.Â
So far I have tried the following with no results:
-turned phone off and on
-reset network settings
-Removed and reinserted SIM card
-turned imessage off and tried sending texts
-turned on "Send as SMS" in message settingsÂ
None of these troubleshooting efforts have been effective. Something that works?
i unlocked my samsung katalyst and put my go phone sim in it. the only problem is now i can't send or recieve multimedia messages or use im. if i put it back in my att phone it still works. any answers to this problem?
Every time I try to send one, it goes to pending for a short time (occasionally flashing the "sending" symbol but only for about half a second) and then shows the big "X" along with "Retries exceeded" or something like that.
I replaced 3 iphone 3g's with 3 new iphone 4's on my family plan. 2 of them are working just fine. The other one is unable to send or receive texts or mms. Anyone else having this problem? Or anyone that can suggest how to fix this? I wonder if I might have misstyped in the ime or SSID info on the at&t page incorrectly on that one unit. This is a non jail broken phone. Just a regular 3g.
I recently purchased a Blackberry Curve 8300 from my friend the phone is unlocked to any network, in which i have an o2 UK sim inside, it loads up and the o2-UK logo comes up with a full signal GPRS (in capital letters) but i cannot send texts or make calls and i cannot receive them either.I have tried numerous battery pulls and soft soft resets to no avail, i have update to 4.5 software also, i really like the phone and don't want to have to throw it in the bin:I have registered through the Host Routing Table and received the confirmation email.I have the radio on the phone switched on.I can access the internet and receive e-mails.I can access BB Messenger.
I have been trying to text and receive texts from a friend in Norway. I know that we can both receive and send international texts because we text a mutual friend in Australia. I checked the participating carriers in Norway. His carrier, Netcom, is on that list. Now I have a Blackberry Storm 9530 and he has a Nokia. I'm not sure of the model.
I have one problem with my AT&T iPhone 4. I send texts to people and they don't receive it. It sends but the person doesn't receive it. This is multiple people on different networks. Sometimes I don't even receive their texts. I did a little research and I learned that it isn't an issue from Apple but rather AT&T. And this has been going on for a few weeks. Should I contact AT&T about this?
