I have a friend in Arizona with an iPhone 3G on AT&T's network. I have a Nexus S on T-Mobile in Oregon. When he sends me texts, I receive them normally. When I send texts to him, though, they never go through. Does anyone have insight to share on this problem, or a potential solution?
Second try.
Which cellphone number are you trying to call? Did you verify if it is the same as the message sender?

It's all in the same conversation thread, and I only have the one number for him; I don't know where else it could be going.

My phone isn't able to send any SMS messages. I can make calls and use data but texts "send" but never get to anyone. I also don't receive texts as well. My Google voice account also won't load any texts after I login, the inbox is just blank.

Bump, this is really becoming an issue, I have no idea what I need to do to fix it. I tried rolling back to an older recovery but it still persists with this. :\
Try reentering SMSC in *#*#4636#*#*.

Look up my thread SMS Messages received but not sent FIX. I cover the SMS issues there with detailed instructions on how to fix it.

Turns out it was Google voice. My number was in limbo apparently. Sprint actually fixed it pretty quick today.

So I've been thinking about dropping my SMS/MMS bundle plan to safe a little money. There are some free apps in the Market to text for free with data. Which do you recommend? I am currently testing Pinger, which is great. The only flaw I see is that I'm not able to text with the original number I also use for calling (which creates confusion with my friends and family.) Also, when I'm on Edge the app doesn't load/refresh for new messages. Any body find a (near) perfect alternative?
Thanks

Doesn't that require people to use the app as well? I use it for international texting with my brother but he also uses the app, can you send to a dumb phone and receive from the same person?

Nope. The other end should have whatsapp too. But its better than juggling two numbers, one for calls and the other for text.
I have free global texting so I hardly use whatsapp even.

Doesn't that app also require the person receiving the message to have it installed? And does it use the native number? Hmm. Google voice seemed nice, but I couldn't understand how it worked and doesn't support MMS.

I'm not sure if this will work or not but have you tried the GO SMS GO chat?

Why not use one of the IM clients out there? That's what I use to text my girl while she's in Canada.
What about Google Voice?

I use Viber. It's an all in one and it's free and no adverts!!
People that you message do require it though as of course it uses Wifi or your Data Plan!
Also this allows to MMS/SMS in one shot also your can call people with this app. Again all using data so it's a VoIP app.
I tested the calling feature and it comes in quite clear! SMS with it is good also.
Hope this is somewhat of what you were looking for...

There isn't much else to say. Just is it possible to send or receive MMS over WiFi?

Sure but the 2 devices must be connected to the same wifi

+1000. Been rule since beginning of time. :laugh:
Not possible on Verizon. Certain features require access to network elements firewalled from the internet and must be accessed via the Verizon network. For example, MMS, Visual Voicemail, and Backup Assistant.
So that means if I want to use MMS, i'll have to turn off wifi, turn on data and then send and receive?
No, your phone automatically turns on data when sending or receiving mms messages.

Nope im gonna say all the time unless you got a borked setup. Also why is it a big deal to send over wifi? Isnt like every packaged offered in todays time unlimited pic messaging?
I know this is everywhere but it doesn't meet my problems. So I can send texts. People can receive texts from me but I am not receiving any texts from anyone else. Please help.

When I am on Lte and someone calls me it comes up unknown no matter who calls. When I'm on 3g it comes up correctly. Anyone else notice this?

It even comes up unknown if the person calling me is in my contacts list.
