I turned off iMessage after the 10 was activated on my line. I can receive texts, but I can't send to either iPhones or Androids. I tried clearing my phone's cache to no avail. Any ideas?
I can't post links, but Apple has a online tool. Google "deregister imessage."
Just Google deregister imessage. Put your number in and you will be all set.

Hm, that doesn't seem to be the issue. iMessage says it was already de-registered but I still can't send messages.
Are your APN settings correct?
Have you tried having your carrier add the IMEI to your account?
Were you signed out of all your apple accounts before trying to send a message? (If you still have the iPhone, try putting your SIM back in, then turning off iMessage on the phone -- then send a normal text. Then put the SIM back in the 10 and try again...)
Turns out it's an issue with Textra now. I can use any other messaging app. Kinda disappointing as I prefer Textra.

Are the SMS Centre from your Textra the same with other messaging app that is working?

>SMS Centre
If you mean sent, then yeah, to the same people and everything. I think textra just doens't have a way to recognise that the SMS's should be sending and it just assumes that since they weren't sending before, they shouldn't be sending now. It's possible a factory reset would fix the issue but otherwise I'm not sure.
If anyone has alternative SMS apps to mention, I'm all ears. Currently using Google Messenger.
Textra works fine for me. Maybe go into settings and manually configure apn.

I was noticing this if I did not go into the text and just read it from the preview. Just go to the text and it should remove the +1. I also use SMS popup and that fixes the issue with the reading of texts.
I use handcent and just disable the stock messaging app.

Is there any app that lets you send SMS without getting charged for an SMS. I have 125 SMS to send in a month and I have come close to surpass this. I was wondering if there was a way to send SMS for free with out using my plans SMS. I do not mean use messaging apps that both parties need to have installed. I mean an app that works via the internet and sends SMS server side so as not to cost me any SMS fees. Anyone know of such?

Unfortuantely Google voice does not work in Canada for sending out Text messages for free. I tried this already. I had it send 2 text messages and I was charged to them as though my phone sent it and I was charged for sending a text to US as well.

That could just as easily be you're-not-using-it-right. A quick way to test: put your phone in airplane mode, then re-enable Wi-Fi (with airplane mode still on) and connect to a working AP. If you're set up correctly you'll still be able to send messages through the GV app. (And it won't sit on "Sending...", it'll actually deliver the message.) And you shouldn't be charged for it.

that sucks. i recently noticed i can text my friend in canada now. when i started using gv on my wifi only devices, none of my texts would go through to her. that was about 2 years ago. i dont know when they started allowing it but about a month ago we tried again and it works. im in the us. try the suggested wifi/ap mode thing. thats my usual setup anyways.
I love Mighty Text - lets you send/receive SMS/MMS from PC just as if it was sent from phone and it even shows up in your phone.
It's great, but ever since I got my note 3 I can't get MMS to send through Mighty Text. I can send MMS through phone.
I also have Handcent SMS on the phone but that wasn't a problem with my S4 or previous phones.
Anyone have this issue or better yet a solution?
Obviously it's not critical sending text through MightyText still works but I'd like to be able to send MMS that way again.
Thanks

I have Note 3 and same issue. MMS is not sending.
If you are on Wifi, data must also be enabled for MMS to work. I am using Handcent.
Sent from my rooted Note 3 (N900T) using XDA Premium
I'm not using Handcent or any other text app and I'm having the same issue. Galaxy S3, Android 4.3 and MightyText 4.62. Any tips? Mobile Data is on but can't send group messages or MMS picture messages from the Chrome Web App. All I see if the little clock in the corner and that the message is pending. On the phone I have tried lots of things. Uninstall/Reinstall, Restart, unlink/link, clear cache and data. No dice. Any ideas appreciated.
Possible solution?
I'm on a Note 2, using Handcent and MightyText, and was having the same problem. The following seemed to help: in Handcent settings, I made Handcent my default program for MMS only (when it was default for both SMS and MMS, they didn't go through to MightyText). Hope this helps.
I also cannot send MMS/group message on the computer. I tried to install tweakker, but every time I run it, the app quits by itself... Any solution to this? I tried installing Handcent and making that the default for MMS, that did not help either.
I am running Kitkat on VZW HTC One.
I tried Hand (job) Cent but was not too impressed with the fact about when folks sent me MMS messages. It would want me download them.

It took me five minutes to figure out what all the settings mean and how they work. Maybe because I'm (23 years) old... too old for these tech gadgets. And MightyText still doesn't work for MMS/group message
I got mighty text working with MMS. You can't be on Wi-Fi at all with your device. It's slow, but it works when only on mobile data.

MMS not sending MightyText/SGS4/Android 4.3
Hi
Did anyone come up with a solution to this as I'm hitting the same issue with my Samsung Galaxy S4 on Android 4.3? Everything else works really well - just cannot send MMS or Group messages (which I believe are sent as MMS too).
Have a support ticket open but ~2 weeks now and no reply.

I'm getting the messages on chrome telling me that its not connected and not working right. I have to keep resyncing them. Ahh it used to work so smooth.
Hello,
I am also running NOTE 3 and handcent with this issue. SMS works fine but MMS stopped working. it was all working fine on my Motorola RAZR HD XT925
going to test with other SMS tools and see what resulkts I get. Its a shame cause I really like handcent
This probably started about a week ago, but I've had the phone for about a month. I'm with Fido in Canada. My previous phone was a Samsung S4, and never had that issue before. I have the 2gb North American ZE551ML on the latest firmware and root, but locked bootloader. I've done a factory reset and cleared the cache but it didn't help. Most of my contacts have an iphones so it seems to only happen to them. Other than that I couldn't really narrow it down to anything else. I've tried using Awsms, Messenger, Stock app, and currently, I'm using Textra but it happens regardless of which app I use. I'm also using Amplify, Powernap, and Greenify and the guide on how to use them from the XDA front page from about a month ago.
I had to use a app from app store to get picture messaging. Text is fine. But no picture messaging

Did you use an iPhone, if only briefly? This sounds like an iMessage issue (SMS/MMS reception broken for only iPhone senders).
No I've never used one, but my mother who's under my account has an Iphone.
You must have disabled some asus app which is impacting the sms delivery ex asus service etc. Disable amplify,powernap,greenify then reboot and try again it will work.

Sounds like the same provider plan, yes? This will be way out in left field, but does the shared plan have only one phone number? (I don't know why in the world it would - party lines are so 1970's - but it doesn't hurt to ask.)

No it's two separate numbers. But I called Fido today, and they said I had Imessage activated on my account and that might be causing the issue.
Use a different SMS program such as Textra and it will start working fine.

Does it have to be Hangouts specifically or another third party messaging app? I tried sending messages with wifi on and off using both textra, and the stock messaging app. I lost messages in each combination, it appears to be random.
I wasn't receiving SMS until I signed out of Hangouts, disabled the app, re-enabled it, and signed back in.
what this fixed with the new update?

Dear Chocketbear,
The issue should have already been resolved with earlier firmware update. Please note SIM card slot 1 can access 3G/4G/LTE data. SIM card slot 2 can only be used for 2G service which include voice and basic text messaging (Not multimedia messaging services MMS or internet browsing). If possible please send me a private message to [email protected] with case # N151275977 in the subject line. Please provide the following:
-Serial Number
-Firmware version
-What specific carrier and MVNO service.
-Can you receive basic texting?
-Have you tried wipe cache/recovery?
Sincerely,

Change your settings
Go to apn.gishan.net look for your phone whatever your service, phone type all models. Do it and you will be happy??? It worked for me .Just follow the settings. Make sure that you do not put spaces in the mmc spots. You will see what I mean. It worked on my straight talk byop service. DO IT?
I just got the Pixel XL yesterday and still figuring out all of the specifics. When I got the phone the default messaging (sms) app was set to Messenger. I sent a text using Messenger and the person's response came back on Hangouts. I went through all of the settings and made sure that Messenger is set to the default sms app, rebooted the phone, and no matter what I do the only way that I can receive texts is through hangouts. I don't mind hangouts but I wanted to try both and compare them. I am using Google Fi as my carrier, so maybe this has something to do with it? What are you guys using for your default sms app?
Edit: I figured it out. There was another settings buried deeper in the hangouts app that needed to be changed.
Purely out of curiosity though, which SMS app are you using?
Yaata SMS paid version.

Using the stock messaging app for now. Works fine. On the note I used vzw messages plus because I like the desktop app integration. I may go back to that, I dunno.
To Change
If you wan tot change, just go to either Messenger or Hangouts (they are practically identical) and go to Status and change the SMS App to the one you want. I use both, since I need the Hangouts Caller to dial up numbers on Wi-Fi. I don't do this often, but it is there if you signal is really bad. I am using Project Fi.

I love the google sms app but im thinking it time to switch? Any recommendations?
Are you coming from an iphone? Did you ever disable imessage? I know that has caused problems in the past with messaging.
I use Signal for safer messaging and the occasional SMS. Easy. Free. Encrypted. Not WhatsApp.

Haven't had an iphone since I bought the pixel 2 in Nov 2017. This only started about a month ago on the pixel 2 and now the Pixel 3. It sucks cause I really love stock sms app.

Yeah maybe a carrier thing, but deffo not the imessage thing usually when that happens the message will send and the end user will not receive it. Or they will be able to send and I will not receive it. And this just started about a month ago, on top of that its only with the google app all other sms apps work fine
Think I am going to get a new sim card and go from there.
Happen to me yesterday. I did come from an iPhone but disabled imessage. Sunday all pictures and messages went through. Yesterday I could receive or send pics. Force closed and wiped the cache of the messaging app. Them contacted Verizon. They did setting on their end and sent me some test pics. Able to open them about an hour later. No issues since.

Go into your default app settings and check what your default SMS/MMS app is?
Might be something other than the app you're using.
Titanium Backup has a bad habit of choosing to be the default app.
As do a few other apps.
I'm on Verizon and that happens sometimes to me. I always thought it was a connectivity issue but if there is a fix I'd love to see it. never had an iPhone.
