IPhone 4s not receiving text messages?

For about a week now, my iPhone has not received any text messages. I only get texts from people using iMessage. When my friend texts me, I receive the text five or six hours later. I also only receive messages after I have called someone or someone called me. I'm using Sprint. I will probabaly get it checked out over the weekend when I have time. Does anyone have any solutions?

Try texting yourself to see how fast it gets to tO you

I have sprint but not an iphone and I have been having issues with my texts as well. My boyfriend said he got 14 of my texts at one time. Hope sprint gets this resolved soon

Reboot your phone, check if there are any updates for it as well. Personally, i think Sprint is just awful. But if all else fails talk to your provider.

My sister had this problem, something about iphones doing that to eachother. Do the texts your not receiving come from people that own iphones? If so, she said she deleted the contact from her list and it fixed the problem

I have had same problem. Best advice I got was to turn iMessage off and leave it off.

  • Why is my iPhone 4 receiving text messages late? I have an iPhone 4, I've had it for just a year. The past month or so, sometimes I'll receive a message. However, when I check the time it was received, it was usually 5 or 10 minutes ago, today I just got one from 18 minutes ago and it only just notified me now. It's starting to bug me a lot, can anyone tell me how to resolve this problem? The phone is also running the most current software, I always do updates (even though it steals all of my storage, grrr).
  • Why am I not receiving text messages because of iMessage? When I have my iMessage on, I'm not receiving texts from my iPhone using friends who have their iMessage OFF. But if I turn my iMessage off, then I don't receive texts from my friends that have their iMessage ON. Is there a way to fix this? Is there a way I can receive texts from everyone while my iMessage is on, regardless if their iMessage is on or off?
  • Receiving text messages on iPad to my email on iPhone? I recently changed my apple ID to my yahoo account. Now, when someone texts my iPad, it not only goes to my iPad, but goes to that email on my iPhone. It hasn't done this before. Anyone know how I can fix that?
  • One Person Not Receiving Text messages? So I have an IPhone 6 and he has an android and out of no where he stopped recieving my texts. I get all of his messages but he can't receive mine. I've tried restarting my phone, and re entering the contact but nothing worked.
