Cannot Receive Text Messages

[desimama95]

Just take the case off. Worked for me...the case was interfering with the signals causing the phone to lose reception. I was unable to send/receive messages or make phone calls with the case on. Good luck!

Here's the answer that solved it for me. Go to settings then apps then messaging. Force stop. It worked for me

I have got this problem since this morning. My phone have 2 Sims and I'm using them at the same time. Then sms problem occurred. I have sent sms but no receive. At last it was solved when I follow: system settings>apps>all>messaging

Then tipped "launch by default(clear defaults)"

Hey finally figured out why my s4 wasn't receiving texts from one person on my texting list.it was because my girls s4 had me set as spam and I could get texts from everyone but she was the only one I couldn't reply to. check both phones for a black list or spam setting.it took me a while but that's what it was.her phone had me on the spam list.hope this helps someone.

Hi,

I have been having this problem on my Samsung Galaxy J5 for the past few days - along with a voicemail notification that would not go away.

I fixed it by going to Settings | Connections | Mobile Networks | Network Operators and searching for other networks. I then forced my phone to connect to Vodafone (I am an 02 customer) - which produced a "Failed to Connect" error message. I then reconnected my phone to 02 and within minutes my messages had come through and voicemail notification had gone.

I have a Samsung Galaxy and up until 2 weeks ago was able to send and receive texts from my sister who does not have a Samsung Galaxy. She is still getting my texts but I am not getting her texts to me. Any ideas why this is happening all of a sudden?

Hello there I know you posted this rather a long time but since I'm having the same problem as you and some of the suggestions to fix the problem I tried previous to viewing your message have not worked I was wondering - did you ever manage to fix the "unable to receive SMS messages" problem on your Android device? Me, I'm using a really old version of Android on a Samsung Galaxy Ace phone.

Cheers, Dan.

Why can I receive text messages but not send them?

I have a Samsung Galaxy Young 2 mobile. It has just stopped me sending text messages although I
can still receive them. What has happened?

Thank you so much! It worked perfectly! My phone was a little different but you directed me to the right places. You rock!!

A simple fix for most phones:
Message App
Menu button to open SETTINGS
Menu button to "RESTORE DEFAULT SETTINGS"
this will not reset your entire phone to default, just your SMS/Messaging app.
Try this first before wasting a lot of time
