Could broken iPhone sometimes not receive a text message?

Is it possible that if your iPhone is broken physically like if you dropped it that if someone sends you a text, most of the time you won't get the text? There's a girl who I like at college, she and I are friends. Most of the time she never responds. She said the reason was because of her phone from what I explained in the beginning. I saw her phone, it is all messed up. She still hasn't got the phone fixed. This is a time period of a couple months. We do message on FaceBook, but sometimes she doesn't respond either. She says she is busy a lot. Should I believe her?

Could be an excuse, i've heard it a million times. She just doesn't want to be rude

  • Why on my iphone does it sometimes show texts in green, and sometimes in red? I have a iphone 4s, my son has iphone 5. Sometimes when i text him, the text appears in green, and sometimes it appears in blue. Does anyone know why this is?
  • Why don't I receive alerts or a notification when I receive a text and I already checked my settings? I adjusted my setting and even put the ringer and notifications on and put the volume and ringer on and I receive no alert, no pop up, alert or notification when someone texts me. Why? This is the iPhone X! I went to the cell phone/ carrier store and they didn't help me. They said to go to the apple store or check the settings. I already adjusted the settings. So what do I do now?
  • Why does my iphone sometimes connect to Itunes and sometimes can't? Sometimes i can connect my iphone to my computer and it says iphone apple device. But sometimes it says device unknown? Can anyone help on this? Also, my Itunes need to open so my iphone can connect. I don't know why.
  • Why could i have gotten a text message with no text box? Yesterday morning, I looked at my smart phone ( android) and I got a text from someone. I clicked on the contact's text and there was no message, no blank bubble, nothing. It just looked like one of us was getting ready to start a conversation but no message was sent. (Extra info: I may be wrong but I think this certain contact has an iphone.) What could cause this? I don't want to ask the person because it would be extremely awkward.
