Why can't I receive messages on iphone 5c when data is off?
When I'm not using data or Wi-Fi I can't receive texts sometimes. The messages are not converted into sms. Can I fix this so I can receive messages?
Yes you need to change your iMessage settings
settings>messages>turn on iMessage
iMessage is an I'm client that IOS uses that can be used using Wi-Fi.
Needs data
You won't receive any sms if data is off.
- Why don't I receive messages unless my cellular data is on? I got this iPhone 3 months ago. It's the 5th one. This constant problem is that sometimes I don't get messages unless my Cellular data is turned on. I need to fix this cause its really annoying. Like for example 10 ppl texted me on Christmas Day saying merry Christmas. On January 4 I turned on cellular data while in my car & then I got them all! And it's crazy because It had the date of Christmas & the exact time.
- 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 can't she receive my text messages? So this girl I know told me to text her… We both have iPhones I'm guessing because she asked me of I had one. Mine is go phoned from AT&T and hers is from Verizon. When I text her she never reviews my messages and when she texts me I never receive hers. But I can text anyone but her. Anyone have an idea of what's wrong?
- Why can't my iPhone receive SMS messages on 3G? I have a 3GS which has just started having issues with 3G connection. It refuses to receive SMS messages, but I'm able to send them. I have tried to reset network settings, turn off iMessage, restart numerous times to no avail. The only way I can make it work is to turn off 3G, turn the phone off and on which allows SMS to be received. Am I missing something obvious as to why it's having a mini meltdown?
