Can't receive text messages

I would guess ur friend is sending them from an iPhone and if that’s the case tell them to press and hold the txt after they send and click “send as text” it will take a couple of time but will eventually stop doin that

I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM I HAVE AN ORANGE SIM AND A TESCO MOBILE SIM BUT CANT CALL OR SEND TXTS I CAN RECIVE TXTS AND CALLS
EEEP HELP

hi there,
call the customer service of your service provider ( AT&T,Vodafone,Verizon etc)....they will set up multimedia message services on your sim..your mobile operator will send you sim updates that will refresh the settings ....and then you will get the picture message options
cheers

if there is enoughmessage in sent item just remove them to get free memory.
other wise u have to correct centre number in the setting of message

On every phone there are settings that can stop you sending texts. However all phones should still receive texts even if all the settings were changed. As the text message is directed to you mobile number you should still be receiving?
When you compose your text and select contact does the phone move them to the out/sent box?
Settings to check for sending are your 'message centre number' (your network provider can supply and they are normally different for pay monthly and pay & go) 'Message sent as' should be 'text' (not fax or email etc).
Text problems are common where people change or delete digits from the message centre number by mistake.
If you cannot receive texts i would recommend speaking to your provider for help as it may be your account details at their end? (beyond your control). Hope that helps?

If you can't send text messages the SMS settings of the service provider may not be saved on your phone.You should define a message centre on your phone for sending and receiving text messages.Contact your network service provider and they can send it to you..

hello willdee
best thing is to contact your sim operator and check with them if you have the correct settings for sending texts.
there they should give you the correct number to send txts.

Most likely, your provider did not activate the text messaging for sending. The phone company has to activate the features to allow usage.

Complain your cellular service company about it. It seems a network error not the error associated with your handset. Try out different sim card to check whether it send message or not
Tell me again if doesn't work.
