  • Why won't my new iPhone 6 (AT&T) send or receive texts/calls? I activated it two hours ago and backed it up with the data and phone number from my old iPhone 4. Both phones now read AT&T and show cellular signal and data in the top left hand corner. But when you text or call my phone number, the iPhone 4 receives it. Why won't my new phone receive it?

  • Why won't my iphone send or receive texts? I have just bought an iPhone off my friend. I also have free texts. It sometimes says that I have signal and other times says that I don't have any. But whenever I try and send a text they won't send. I also don't receive any messages either. Does anybody know why this is happening?
