Only receive texts when I text someone or turn on phone.

try turning off off for a min. or two that always help. call your co. and find out if the tranmitters are working they may be working on something in the area you are at. they can tell you if you have fair, good, or great coverage just by telling them the area ( zip coded) you are in. If all else fails like it my case, request a new phone.

i dont know the cause but you need to call the store

Did you ever find a solution to this problem? The exact same thing happened to my friend two days ago. Someone sent them the same message repeatedly, and he can no longer receive any messages, other than multimedia.

I have an LG GD510 , with unlimited texting included in the plan.
The texting feature has always worked for me, until a couple of days ago when my messages were not going through, nor could I receive any text messages.
When I try to send a text message, it says "waiting" for a bit, and then goes to "sending" for about two seconds, after which it just goes back to "waiting." After several minutes, it then displays "message cannot be delivered."
I thought maybe my services were disconnected, but they are not. I can make and receive incoming/outgoing calls. I also called the company, and they told me my services have not been suspended. When I asked about my problem, they told me their systems were down, and to try back in the morning, but I still cannot text, and it has been on-going for a couple days now.
Do I have to hard reset my phone? And if so, how do I do that?
I was told it was under "touch settings", but when I go there, there is nothing about resetting your phone.
Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I get the same prob, jus got used to it now! But my message do get sent,

One new prob I've came across is that when I try to txt certain people my phone restarts itself, weird eh,

Best bit of advice, buy an Iphone, or buy any phone but an LG, life aint Good wif an LG phone!

Dear,

check the message centre no. that must be available in the text message setting...
check it, if it persists then u have to reset your phone or check it to the service provider... they will solve it, if the problem belongs to them.

regards,

dont forget to rate as it will fix the issue

Texts are queuing in the out box and wont send. I can receive them ok.

You definitely have a bad battery, if you let the battery run totally dead too many times it ruins them. You can get them cheap on-line. The text issue is carrier related, call them and have them help you test and make sure you still have messaging services on your account.

i have a lg keybo and some people can receive my texts... its really weird :\
