I've encountered a problem with text messages with 4.1 7. When responding to a text message by switching SIM the message doesn't arrive. On my side all looks fine but my sister doesn't get the messages. I have checked the number has the land code attached. She receives only messages from SIM 2 not one. Tested texting a friend in the UK from Sweden worked fine and texting a friend using both also went well. Any idea why this is happening? Could it be an iPhone issue?

What exactly do you mean by this? Was SIM1 used previously in an iPhone? Or the intended SMS recipient (not receiving the SMS) is using an iPhone?
Sorry no. My sister has an iPhone that she sent the messages to me from to my SIM 2. As I don't have to pay for text from SIM 1 I switched to SIM 1. The text sent from SIM 1 never arrived to the iPhone. The one from SIM 2 arrived. No problems sending to friend with android phone.
Does that make it clearer?

I Have a Tilt flashed with HTC 6.1 and (I think, but haven't tested) sim unlocked (with the kaiser sim unlocker tool). I am using it on AT&T. I don't use text messaging that often so it hasn't bothered me too much, but all my AT&T friends can send me MMS (I don't recall if they've sent me any SMS). However, one of my Verizon friends sent me a few text messages and (when he finally called) asked me why I didn't respond. I told him I didn't receive the messages. I searched for "kaiser can't receive sms from other carrier" and didn't find anything helpful. I hope I'm not missing something obvious. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
If you've ported your number in from another carrier, you'll need to contact tech support to have them update your phone number.
If you're not able to receive a text from one particular person, that could be something different.
Oh thanks I did port my number from Verizon. Who should I call Verizon or AT&T?
I would call AT&T Customer Care and have them verify that there are no weird restrictions on your account related to SMS messaging.
As an example, a friend of mine who did not wish to receive SMS messages on his Verizon phone was able to call them and have all external messages blocked. But he was told there was no way to prevent other Verizon phones from sending him texts.
I would also have AT&T verify that your Test Message Service Center number is correct on your Tilt.
Hello
On Wednesday, I was sending and receiving multiple texts all day just fine.
Now starting Thursday morning, i sent out some texts to 15 different people, all said they received it and texted back.
My phone has not received a single text since wednesday. It can do everything else, send texts, phone calls, etc.
I'm on cognition 4 ROM, i've tried hard resetting it multiple times, called ATT and they said I should be getting them but I am not. I have full service. They also said i'm not the first person to call about this problem. I've also put my SIM in another phone and still no texts received.
Any ways to fix this?

If you put the similar in another phone and you are still not getting them then it is a network issue. Are you using a 3rd party text app?

Nope. Stock texting.
That's what ATT is apparently telling me and it's pretty frustrating.
ATT needs to "re-activate" your phone.
I've had this problem 3 times. Sometimes it will take a few hours for all the old texts you missed to show up.
I had the same issue. Went to the ATT store told them I called customer service and that customer service said i needed a new SIM card. Got a new SIM card - problem solved. Then almost immediately all my texts started showing up.

I agree. Sounds like a bad sim card, especially considering you didn't receive texts in the other phone you put your sim in.
Been using my phone for a little over two weeks and texting just stopped working the other day. It can send texts but cannot receive them. I have 2 lines 2 phones. When I switch the sim card from the s4 active to my other phone texting works fine sending and receiving. When I use the sim from the other phone and put it in my s4 active it can send but not receive texts so I don't believe it's a issue with my service. It was rooted on MF3. I unrooted and did factory reset and texting issues still persist. Everything worked fine until the other day when I realized no one was texting me back. Mobile data is on. The phone can make and receive calls it can send texts just cannot receive. I use chomp sms but dont think it's the app since the stock messaging app isn't giving me any luck either. Can't figure this out
Update!
Lol just a few minutes after posting this question the phone lit up and all the texts I hadn't received yet just came flooding in. Switched sim cards back over and everything seems to be working fine again. Time to restore my backup yay I love this phone again lol :good:
I'm experiencing a strange problem. I recently upgraded to a note 3 and my wife recently upgraded to an iPhone 5s. Ever since these upgrades my wife has not been receiving my SMS messages. She is able to receive MMS messages from me. Others that have the 5s can receive SMS from me. Had anyone else experienced this?

you didn't de-register from iMessage..you have to do this otherwise it'll keep going to your inactive apple acct..the geniuses over at the genius bar didn't tell you that I suppose
I don't think this is it. I had a Note 2 before upgrading to the Note 3 and I didn't experience this problem with the Note 2. I've been on the phone with AT&T tech support on this issue and they now suspect something is wrong with my wife's iPhone 5S because they can see the message getting sent from my device (Note 3) to her device (iPhone 5S) across their network. Yet it doesn't show on her phone. Actually, just yesterday my wife received all of the SMS messages I've sent to her over the last few days all at once -- something like 24 messages. So far she's been receiving my SMS messages as normal now since they all came in at once yesterday so I don't know what the problem was. Tech support wanted her to do a factory reset on her phone, but she didn't do that because it would erase all her text messages.
UPDATE:
I'm pretty confident I know how to duplicate the problem now. This seems to happen when I turn on SMS support in Google Hangouts. I'm using Hangouts build 2.0.217 and as soon as I enable Settings->SMS->Turn on SMS in Hangouts I experience this problem. I have no idea why it happens and why it happens only for a specific phone number. I've turned off that setting and am back with using the stock messenger now. I hesitate to turn it on again because it usually takes a few days for all the messages I send to get to my wife's phone.
I've received some texts (mostly ads) but I can't receive texts from my wife's iphone
Strangely enough, one of my friends would send me text messages while my sim card was in my 3 XL but they would show up on my Pixel 7 without a sim card.
press the text you sent and change to sms/mms , you have chatt function enable now.

Was your previous phone one of those abominations? If so, your phone number is registered in a database with the fruit company, which is therefore chucking messages into the trash instead of delivering them.
Problem solved. Verizon rep told me this problem has existed for several days. The solution was for Verizon to Synk network.
