I started using my new iphone 4s yesterday but can not send any text messages to my contacts. I mannaged to get an iMessage to another iphone user but normal text messages to anyone who is not using iMessage won't go through. I have tried switching the phone off, taking out the sim, and a few other things in settings, but so far nothing has worked. Should the numbers in my contacts all include country code perhaps? I am in Australia.
My text messaging just stopped working. When I press the centre button on the text message or message menus the phone does not respond, and seems stuck. The problem is not due to the carrier or service since I can make and receive phone calls.
I'm probably going to have to take this in to the local US Cellular store to see if they can figure out what is going on. I tried sending texts to three different individuals this morning and all are not going through. Initially I was using Go SMS Pro as my default SMS program. Thinking something may be messed up with that program, I switched my default SMS program to the phone's Text Messaging program. Still cannot send or receive any messages. I am on a business plan (which my wife is on as well). She is receiving and sending texts fine. I tried sending her a test text, and it tells me "Message Not Sent". I had her send a test text to me. It shows that it sends fine on her end, but I never get anything.
Is there any error log I can look at to see what's going on? I have powered my phone off and on 3 times already this morning and that hasn't fixed the issue. Any suggestions or am I just going to have to take it in? I hate doing that because they're just going to do a Factory Reset I'm sure since they aren't too good on the technical side of things.
I have an unusual issue I would like some assistance on since I just got a blackberry, I have the Curve 2 8530. I use Total Call Blocking with my carrier so that when I call anyone my number is automatically blocked / restricted. Therefore, in my contact list, I have my friends or family contacts listed with the *82 in front of the number to unblock for those people. This works fine for phone calls.
However, on Text Messaging / Picture Messaging, the *82 will cause these messages to fail. I am used to LG phones, you have the ability to edit the number while creating a message, before your send one of these messages. The problem I am having is when I send a Text Message / Picture Message it appears from the blackberry as only the 10 digit number (even though the contact has *82 in front of it)...and the message shows it is sent (with the check mark) but it NEVER received.
I got a text this morning from my sister and it has been repeating endlessly all day, I've had it about 700 times now and it's still popping up as a new message. I have to keep my phone on silent and turn notifications off just to get some peace and save the battery.
I don't have texting added to my provider contract and need to prevent some folks from texting when they don't have an iPhone. Otherwise I get charge for just receiving message solicited or not.
Is there a way to get additional emoticons to use in my texting app? I have downloaded different Emoji apps but cannot figure out how to get them into my texting app.
So I used to have that 1500 text messaging plan for $8.99 with the feature code TMS4 applied to my FAN account then I ended up switching to an unlimited plan before I got my iPhone 4. I want to now go back to that special plan but I called AT&T and they told me I had been grandfathered in on that plan previously before I switched to the unlimited plan and they wouldn't add it back on for me now. My question is did anyone that still had that texting plan get to keep it when they switched to their iPhone 4 or has anyone tried adding that plan to their current/new AT&T plan? If anyone is interested in helping me out by trying to add it to their plan now all you had to do was call 611 on your phone and ask the AT&T rep to add the TMS4 text messaging plan to your existing FAN account.
My text messaging has stopped showing the name of the recipient / sender, instead on the list screen I see the phone number, but for some reason the international +1 has been inserted in front. The +1 is not in my contacts, hence the phone no longer recognises the number as a specific person. It is not on all the numbers, just some of them. how to turn this off, or alternatively, to have all my numbers with +1 in contacts?
If I receive a text and want to forward it to another person I select "Edit", mark the item(s) and select "Forward". I am then presented with the "New Message" screen and I enter the aprpopriate "To:" and hit "Send".
More time than not, when I hit "Send" I am dropped out to my iPhone home screen. Seem like an iMessage (SMS) bug to me
I am using an iPhone 4s on AT&T running IOS 5.1.1.
every time i try to send a contact card through text messaging the message never goes through. i have all of the message setting set properly, sms, mms, imessage,etc are all on. it there another setting that i am missing?
I am trying to send a picture through text messaging to a Microsoft Windows cell phone, however, the Windows cell phone does not receive the picture. They are able to receive text messages but not any pictures.Â
While on my phone today it rebooted itsself. Once it came back on, my messaging message icon was gone and I can no longer text or receive texts or tweets. I have taken the battery out and this has not helped. I currently have a Storm 9530.
I've been texting fine from my new 9900 for many days Suddenly, whenever I text anything, all those messages of mine come under one "ME" and all of the reciever's messages are clubbed under their name. It's not showing up like a proper conversation, just two titles (my name and the reciever's name) with all of our texts in order. This is really annoying, and I want it back to how it was - normal.
I removed my memory card to upload some pics to my computer cause my usb port does not work anymore and since I didn't get around to doing this quickly, I've been using the phone without the memory card. It has been a week and not one instance of freezing up. I put my card in about 2 hours ago just to see if it was fixed and it just now froze again. This obviously is not a solution but it leads me to believe that probably an app or some misc thing on my card is causing this. There is plenty of memory left on the card by the way. Now if I could only find the right settings to install hotmail, rocketmail (yahoo), ovi and gmail mail boxes. I have the issue where the mail boxes never appear after setup.
my issue is with text messaging if i text someone when they respond there response is tied in with a previous message that i had with that person which could have been from a few weeks earlier. Is there a setting where every text conversation is by itself not tied in to previos texts?
