How to fix a text messaging issue on my iPhone 6S?
I work in a hospital. No one is allowed to use cell phones during work because they can disrupt medical equipment. Some of my friends use iPhones and others use Android phones. My phone might be off when they text me. If I turn on my phone after work, I won't receive their texts. Sometimes, they call and ask me if I got their message about something urgent. I usually say it never came to my phone. It's true that their messages never reach my phone. If they text me when my phone is on, I receive their texts right away. My work shifts in the hospital vary a lot. So, my friends don't know when my phone is on. I went to BOTH my mobile carrier and Apple Store and talked about my phone issue with them. They couldn't figure out a solution. My iPhone 6S is now using IOS Version 11.4.1. I have been looking for a solution online, but none of the solutions I found worked.
Does anyone have a way to solve my phone problem?
Unfortunately that is down to your network and not Apple. When a text message is sent to a device that is off, it gets stored in a temporary message centre. After a certain amount of time the message will eventually get deleted if it can't send it to the device. That time seems to differ depending on the network you're with.
The only thing I can think of is have people send you an iMessage instead of a standard text message. As they go through Apple's servers, they should remain on temp storage for quite some time.
- Why can't my iPhone send or receive pictures in text messaging? My dad bought me the iPhone 4S unlocked. I got the prepaid service at tmobile which was 50$ unlimited talk text and web. I can't send pictures during text messages and I can't receive them. If someone sends me a picture I don't get it, it's just blank. The little camera icon next to the text area to type is light grey indicating I can't press on it. I can only send or receive during iMessage. Please tell me why this is happening.
- What does the green text bubble mean while text messaging with Iphone? I have an Iphone5c and my friend has an iphone 4. Whenever we talk all my messages are in blue but I sent a text today and it was in green? Should my Wi-Fi be on or no? P.S. I have ios 7
- Text messaging with iPhone So, I was writing this HUGE text message to a friend in help and before I could even press send, my phone shut down because it ran out of batteries. Will my message still be there after my phone opens even if I didn't send it! Is there a way to get it back! It took me a lot of time to write it and it won't be as good the second time I do.
- Problem with text messaging on iPhone? My mother has an iPhone, and today I got my first. However, whenever I send a receive texts, they go to her iPhone as well. This did not happen at all with my last phone, which was an android. Why is this happening? It's irritating, and I need a fix as soon as possible.
