Interesting issue that happened Friday afternoon. I can receive text messages from my girlfriend (verizon) however I cannot text her (AT&T) MMS and group texting works. She has an Iphone, I had her block my number and unblock it, deleted the contact on both phones are tried. Power cycled both devices. AT&T is "Investigating" the issue however I don't think they will do anything. I figured if anyone had any idea's it would be you guys/gals.
Any other advice?

I've been using google voice for my text messaging. I've noticed that my standard SMS with ATT is not working for some reason.
I thought it was google voices fault, but my friends vibrant seems okay with both. Is there something wrong with the number I use to retrieve my text messages? It is
+13123149810
Hey,
I was having the same problem and apparently AT&T fails in more ways than imagined.
When I upgraded my phone, they cancelled my messaging package. After logging into the website and adding Text Messaging as a feature for my phone, it started working. This may be the problem you're having.
Good luck!
+1 on SMS issue last to days I haven't been able to receive all my messages even after I clear all threads out.That is without Google Voice.
I can send and receive messages fine, with the exception of two people who apparently haven't been getting my texts. One of them is my wife that is on my family plan. I guess I should check if they fudged something up with her texting.
My girl friend on my family plan with me (who has an iPhone 3Gs) and myself are also having text issues. Some of my texts to her do not arrive, and nearly all of her text to me never reach me. I receive about 1 in 5 texts from her, and she gets about 3 in 5 from me.
The rest of her texts work just fine, and I'm learning today that about half of my texts from other people are apparently not arriving to me as well.
This is obviously *really* bad... it led to her thinking I was blowing her off all day sunday and took a lot of explaining to do on my behalf today, heh.
I just recently had a problem with one of my associates where we are unable to send/receive text messages from one another. I have turned on received reports in the default messaging app in Android and all my texts say received by the recipient.
Both of us can receive and send texts to other people and calling between us still works. I have wiped my phone, and gone with a stock Virtuous 3.2 rom on a Droid Incredible and it still doesn't work. She is on a blackberry, also on Verizon if that helps.
It seems to me that it is probably a network issue but the fact that both of us can still get all other texts confuses me. Any ideas?
I am very new to Android coming from Palm Pre and I purchased Droid Pro and activated it with Page Plus everything seems to work fine except I can't receive or can't send any plain text messages any kind. I haven't been able to receive or send any ever since I got this activated. I have tried everything I could.
I did activation multiple times and still no luck! I am very frustrated at this point and don't know what to do. I really love this phone and it works great including web data, calls but the stupid text messages will not work at all.
As soon as I send a text message I get an instant error message saying text message not sent and it does that for every message. This is just driving me insane since I text more than I talk.
I am getting close to my last resort is the reset this phone to factory which I don't know how to do. My brother uses Droid 2 Global and Fascinate on Page Plus Wireless with no problems. I tried calling multiple sources and no one is willing to help me.
Please help me if you can.
Anybody here know what I can do? I am so frustrated. I know I am missing text messages right now. I hate to go back to Palm... and this is the only Android phone from Verizon that I like so far. I love the keyboard but without being able to send or receive text messages this thing would be worthless for me. I text more than I talk.
This are just random guesses, but i thought i would try:
- wrong sms format (UTF-8?)
- wrong number/address for sms central in settings?
Fixed!!!
After days of fighting with it I got it figured out by process of elimination. For Page Plus Wireless under "Wireless & Network Settings" > "Mobile Networks" > "Network Mode" - needs to be set to "GLOBAL" and not "CDMA" like I thought and after this all my text messages are working properly.
This may be useful to someone later on.
Now if I can get rid of all the bloatware that this Droid Pro came with without rooting I would be very excited. I love this phone so far even though I am missing the true multi-tasking but I am sure I will get used to. I am already getting used to Android and it's only been a few days
Root it and change build.prop
change in system/build.prop
ro.telephony.gsm-routes-us-smsc = 0
This will solve sms problems

For some reason I am not receiving all text messages . Random texts will not show up on my phone even though they show sent on the other person's phone. Getting frustrating bc I have missed some important texts. I googled the problem and it there was an article from 2 days ago about the issue without a fix available. FYI I am on the TMobile Galaxy S8+ ....anyone else experience this issue? Anyone know of a fix?
i doubt its the phone its probably a bug on your account from tmo
We need to get this to thread going. It's a big discussion topic on Reddit and articles are showing up on Android sites.
I'm with Telus in Canada. I've been using the Android Messages app. I have no idea how many texts I'm not getting but there's one friend who's asked me a couple of times if I got their text and I've said no. I've seen screenshots from them that show the texts they sent. That person actually uses an S7 with default Samsung Messages app.
There's another case today where my kid's school sends messages to parents via both text and email. I always get their messages twice. Once via text, the other via email. Today I only got an email message, so clearly it's not just texts from one person not getting through.
Just received some texts from two days ago. Not all texts, but the last few that never showed up. Maybe something is getting fixed?
As of yesterday I still have been missing some texts daily
Did you recently switch from iPhone? Sometimes iMessage messes up senders that use an iphone, and you wont get it.
On the flipside, though, there does seem to be an issue with texting anyways, or MMS. Like the videos look like ****, or, I have even seen messages that delayed WEEKS come through. For example, my wife uses Handcent, I use Samsung Message app. Over a month ago, my brother in law sent her a pic of our dog, which she forwarded to me...but I didn't get it until a month later, when she accidentally opened the stock messages app, instead of the Handcent app she usually uses. Then, I got all the damn replies a month late from the related group messaging.
This was happening to me weeks ago so is nothing new. Unsure why it's suddenly become such a worldwide issue in the last few days.
I've tried every SMS app going as well as the stock one and it doesn't matter which I use. The messages still didn't arrive.
My S8+ was bought factory unlocked in the UK and it's on the 3 network.
This definitely exists. I have narrowed my issue to long text messages that would be split into 2 or more. I have since switched to the Android Messaging app and no longer have the issue..... I would try it...
My issue existed with the native Samsung Messenger app.
Ok so my p40 pro arrived today and i put my sim card in (using straight talk byop at&t sim). i can make calls and use data , i can also send text messages. but the phone will not receive any text messages.
so far i've did the following
factory reset the phone
reset network settings
tried manually entering APN settings
i even tried using Textra
None have worked, whats weird is i got rid of my Mate 30 pro last week and texting worked fine on that phone. Anyone have any suggestions that may help fix the issue?
Ok so i figured out the issue ,and thought id post it here in case anyone has the issue and gets frustrated not being able to receive messages .
so apparently now you have to treat google messages like apples iMessage. you have to "diasble" chat features on google messages before switching sim into a phone that doesn't support google messages natively. i wasn't aware of this needing to be done especially since i had a mate 30 pro 2 weeks ago that i stuck my sim in and it worked perfectly with texting.
so just a heads up if anyone has this same issue like i did.
I imagine the network message settings are wrong, here in the UK they have outgoing and incoming settings, I would compare the message service number from your old handset
