Iphone 5 works perfectly EXCEPT it won't send or receive SMSs?

I'm in this club

That is most likely due to a problem with your network provider.

Contact them directly. They may need to send updated "service book" settings to your phone, or if it is on a GSM network you may even need a replacement SIM.

Check with your carrier about that.

  • Why are my SMS messages taking years to send? But iMessages are perfectly fine? So IIm texting my friend with iMessage ( we both have iPhones ) and I just started texting someone who doesn't have an iPhone and when I try to send them a message it ll take so long and it ll even say message failed it bugs like what the heck sprint.
  • Wet IPhone works except for mic & back camara? I dropped my iphone in water. I set it in rice for four days. I refuse to pay around $300 bucks for a new replacement seeing at the phone works. I can send & reply texts, watch videos, listen to music & check all apps except for the back camera & microphone. Can i get Best Buy to fix it? I can't see why Apple can't fix iphones. I suppose thats how they make more money. What should i do?
  • My Iphone won't receive messages but Imessage works on other devices? I can send and receive messages with Imessage on my computer but my Iphone doesn't receive any and the messages send as text messages instead when I text someone with an iPhone. I've reset it already and tried restoring it and it did't help.
  • My iPhone 3G, works perfectly fine, but the light is dim as hell? OK, so I dropped my iPhone inside the toilet. When I got it out and dried it with a napkin it was fine, the touch was good, the light was good, everything was fine. I turned it off, and about two hours later the light went dim. It's like almost black. I don't know what to do? Let me remind you that it's old, and it's kinda loose, and it has a few cracks here and there.
