Issues with IPhone
04-15-2014, 05:52 PM
Not sure if this is the right section of the forum to post this, but I've been having a very upsetting issue with my phone in that I can send text messages but not receive any. My phone is an iPhone 4 from fall of 2010 if that makes any difference. I went to one of the stores of my phone carrier and they couldn't see the problem and referred me to to Apple. Went to the Apple store near me and they also were not able fix it.
Was wondering if anyone has had a similar issue and if yes, how did you solve it?
I will be getting a new phone in the next month or so, but for the time being, would like to solve this.
Appreciate an tips you guys can provide on this.

This bullshit happened to me a week ago. It seemed to be the result of the new update. Go to settings, do not disturb and see if under "allow Calls From" it got switched to favorites. If so, switch it to everyone

If it wasn't at "everyone" then you officially fixed it (I had the same problem)

It was set at everyone. this problem of not receiving texts started slowly by me getting messages with a big gap in time, sometimes hours later. or even worst, id receive them only when im in an area with wifi which doesnt make sense at all.
Oh and speaking of the new update, I haven't updated my phone yet. I heard updating it would slow it even further while taking a lot of space on the phone.
Anyways, I really hope it is fixed now!
Thanks man!

If that doesn't fix it, update it. You have nothing to lose at this point.
