Android user not receiving texts from iphone users

[Gozzeh]

I've had no troubles receiving texts from android and windows phone users but for some reasons texts have recently stopped arriving from iphone users. I've always had an android phone (well actually I had a couple of non-smart phones priort to owning an android) so its not the imessage problem. Does anyone have a clue why O2 is refusing to deliver me sms messages OR why ios is refusing to send them to me? This started happening a couple of weeks ago. Prior to that I had no problems.

I Hope this resolves for you soon and please let us know how you get on.

Just tested on another random phone (An ancient Nokia) and I received the text without any problems.  Admittedly the friend with an iPhone also just texted the nokia and the text was received no problem.

Interesting.

Process of elimination then !

Did you check your blocked number list in the messaging app?

Did you used to have an iPhone?

Neither person is on my block list.

I've never had an iphone with this number (On a completely unrelated number, yes ... work phone).

Something in your phones settings perhaps then !

A conundrum indeed.

Perhaps try deleting the contact fully and re enter it

Also about half an hour ago I was suddenly delivered, in one go, about 50% of the missing texts ... Still some missing, though.  That said I've just tried sending a text from his phone and it arrived within seconds ...

Very strange.  I wonder how many other texts have gone missing.

We have heard before of texts being delayed which usually resolves itself , or via a phone re boot or swapping out the sim at an O2 store.
