My Android isn't receiving texts from iphones

kbeatski — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 10:41:15 GMT

Hello I'm hoping someone can help me. My Android Nexus 5 is not receiving any texts from iPhones. I have been with this company now for only 4 days and I'm not sure how many text messages I have missed. I hope I'm able to recover them. I also hope I haven't missed any of my friends that are supposed to be arriving in town any day. help!!

It's the setiings of your iPhone users. Send one a message and have them click Reply. If you receive it they need to update their settings/your contact info.

Is your friend's iPhone with the iMessage enable?

If yes, your Android phone will not receive the text message from that iPhone.

I receive and send lots of messages with android users without issue on my iphone 6 with imessage enabled.

If the android user isn't receiving text but the iphone user is than it is the settings on the iphone and that will only be when the iphone isn't on wifi or have data enabled and they dont\'t select send as SMS when wifi not available.

Edit: @kbeatski Ask your friend if that is the case.

I literally just changed this phone company with the same phone number and same phone and was able to receive text messages from these same people just days before I switched companies it is definitely not an iMessage problem, I've gotten a friend to check.

I agree, if your friend didn't have this enabled then he would have noticed before now. Thought I would mention it only because alot of my friends don't realize that option exsists and because i never use to have data i would not receive text from them when i wasn't on wifi until I had them select this option.

Edit: The messages would show up as soon as I got back on WIFI

I assume by what you are saying in/out to android devices is working fine?

What about out to iphones, can you text them?

I aked one of my many friends who have iPhones to do this and it didn't work.

This isn't the issue as I haven't had an iPhone so they don't have my number under iPhone, also I was able to receive messages from them up until I just changed to this company. Thanks for your idea though

What didn't work? They are not receiving your text?

This also has been tested and isn't the issue .

So the only issue is you are not receiving text from iphones? Android in/out works and iphone out works? What about calls? Data?

kbeatski — Sun, 16 Sep 2018 21:01:34 GMT

Yes, I'm able to text out and they recirec the texts.

Its not just one iPhone user, it's all of them. I think I'm just going to go back to my old provider, this company doesn't seem to have anyone who actually helps.
