IPhone 5 :: Just Updated And Now Can't Send Group Messages
Dec 10, 2014
I Have a iphone 5, just did the update, now my texts dont show up in the group message. Checked the details everything looks good, reset the network setting and turned off the phone, which did nothing.
I recently got an iPhone because I needed to be able to group text with my boss and coworkers. However, upon getting a brand new iPhone 4s (Verizon) I discovered that my phone still does not send or receive group texts. I have turned on group messaging so I should be receiving them. Is it something I can fix?
I just replaced my droid based phone with an iphone 5s. I have MMS turned off to save the amount of data we are using. But now I cannot send or receive group text messages. This is a major issue for me since my kids' sports coaches use this to give us updates...etc.Â
Is there a setting I am missing? I am almost wishing I had stayed with my old phone.
I am not able to send Group messages from Nokia C7.I am sending messages to a distribution list having 70 members in it, only 20 messages are going fine and the remaining 50 stuck in the inbox saying Failed or Resend at XX:XX.Then i usually try to click on each message in the out box and send them again. [i dont know why there is no mark all option in outbox ] But from 3 days eventhough i am trying to send the 50messages again it is just saying Resend at XX:XX.
1) I tried sending the messaged from OVI suite but no luck
2) With help of vodafone customer care i verified all my message settings, message center number and everything are fine. (if they are wrong the first 20 should also stuck na..)
3) I thought it was a n/w problem i called to vodafone Customer care and they asked me try in another phone.
4) I have taken my old nokia 5310 Xpress music inserted the same sim and sent the 70 messages, they all went very fine.
For whatever reason, whenever I receive a group message with more than 10 people included (Happens Daily) I cannot respond? Is this a limitation of Android / Nexus 5 / or T-Mobile?
I am trying to send a group message on my Mail app on all devices , iMac and ipone, I have created a group on contacts but it only gives me the names and then I would have to choose each email. I would like to send an email to the same group of emails, maybe just by tapoping the group name on my Mail app, Is this possible?Â
I have an Xperia X10 Mini, and for the first time ever of using a mobile I want to set up a contact group for all the parents of my kids' football team so I can send out a single message to multiple contacts in one easy go. However, I cannot seem to find a way to do this with an X10. On my old Nokia, it was really easy, but having come into the modern world and finally upgraded to a smartphone, I would have thought this would have been a no-brainer!
Is there a way to send SMS text in the iPhone, would buy an app that does this, to a group without disclosing the recipients? Would like to be able to setup a group but not have every person see the complete list of recipients of the text. That way the replies would only come back to me.
I've been having an issue the last couple of months receiving group messages from other iphone users. I have tried turning off iMessage, but that doesn't seem to help.
I had an iPhone 5 and dumped it to hop on the S6 train. However, I was receiving group messages from other iPhone users on iMessage prior. I disabled iMessage before I switched, had AT&T update the system and I still can't receive group messages and images from other iPhone users.
My buddies sometimes send me group messages and according to their settings, they shouldn't have a subject line showing in any of their messages. Why does the subject line show up? I have the same exact settings as them. I don't understand if the problem is within my phone or their phone.
I just got an iPhone 5s (my first smart phone), and I discovered that I can't receive group messages if my cellular data is turned off. This is true even if my phone is connected to a Wifi network. I also cannot send picture messages if the cellular data is off. My basic phone could do these things, so why can't a smart phone?
I recently switched from an iphone 4 to an LG G3 and have been unable to consistently receive group messages from iphone users. Sometimes messages will come through, but about 95% of the time I do not receive them; however, the people in my group do receive my messages. I am aware that this is a common issue among Android users, and I have read about it extensively online for weeks now, but I still have not come up with a solution. I have tried using multiple different messaging apps including the default messaging app, chomp sms, textra, hangouts, etc. I have also turned off imessages on my old phone, typed in the code for Apples "unsubscribe" from imessage thing, and texted STOP to the number to disable imessages.
I am running the latest version of Android. I also replaced my old SIM but still no luck. MMS group message settings are all enabled on my phone too. I didn't see a post about this in regards to the LG G3 specifically so I decided to make one. I have heard suggestions of people saying to tell your iphone friends to adjust settings on their phones, but I wanted to find a solution without having to tell all of my friends to mess with their settings to accommodate me. I absolutely love everything about my new android phone after making the switch from Apple, but this one problem is seemingly large that I hope it doesn't force me to go back to an iphone.
I've tried many different things to get me new phone to send group messages. I was finally able to send a group text to my sisters and mother. But I received them all individually so we weren't actually in a group...? I'm also unable to send/receive MMS or SMS pictures?
I've had my Atrix for a few days now and love it apart from the fact that I can't seem to get it to send group texts efficiently. This is a major part of my business so I really need to be able to get it to work. I currently have all of my contacts syncing between my Google account and the Atrix which is working well.
I set up a group in my google contacts which, again, synced fine. I have installed around 5 different apps from the Market which say that they will send group sms easily (including Handcent and Chompsms). The main problem I had with most of them is that they didn't use the mobile number of the contact as the primary number (even though I went through each contact and set the mobile number as primary!) so it was trying to send a text to a house phone.
I then created three separate groups on the Atrix (which is a bit of a pain as I'd like to be able to send it to all the contacts in one go) and then sent the same text to each of the groups using the standard app on the phone. This seemed to work fine for the first two groups, then I got an error when sending to the last group. saying that there were "a large number of texts being sent" and I had to press "ok" or cancel. I still wanted to send the text out, so pressed "ok" for all 30 of the contacts. It then seemed to send the text twice to some contacts which they weren't happy with!
I then left it and thought it was ok. I looked online for the "large number of texts" error as I can't have the phone sending the same text to the same contacts all the time or having to press "ok" 100 times! It seems that there is no clear answer as to why the error appears though some people are thinking it's because there is a limit on the phone of 100/sms per hour but I'm not sure if that's the case. I just need the error to go away and not ask me to press anything?!
To add to the problem, I've turned my phone on this morning and it's just sent the same text from last night to most of my contacts - some of them twice!! It was 6am here so I'm not sure any of my clients will be happy with that!
I really do love this phone but this is the one thing that should be easy to do and I've wasted so much time trying to do it. I've come from a BlackBerry which was horrible and nothing like the lovely Atrix BUT as I send numerous group texts each week, the BB can do this easily with no fuss and the Atrix is really struggling.
I'm going to give Motorola a call when they wake up and will check with my service provider that it's nothing they have set up (but the sim and contract is straight from the BB so can't think that that's a problem) and see what they can do to help but wanted to see if you guys had any ideas...
