Having a problem whereby I cannot receive texts from certain numbers on my iPhone. I can send to everyone and they get delivered, I can make and recieve calls from everyone, just about half of my contacts texts are not coming through.
Also iMessage has stopped working. Some of the people I can't receive from are on Blackberrys and other types of phones though, so I shouldn't have thought that is the problem.
Things I have already done:
- Taken out the sim and cleaned it.
- Tried the sim in 2 different handsets, the same problem. So any handset problems are ruled out
- Spoke to half a dozen 'Gurus'.
- Reset my iPhone to factory settings. Plenty of other different types of resets.
- Changed manually to a different network, then back to o2.
I rang o2, the lady was helpful and said she could see these texts I hadn't received on the system, but were just not coming through the network to me, she seemed to have no idea why or how to fix it.
She said she'd send another sim card, but she didn't sound very confident that would work at all, as the sim itself seems to be in perfect working order.
My phone is not jailbroken, or anything like that. It just suddenly started happening on sunday and I didn't realise until monday when I spoke to a couple of people who were surprised I didn't text back.
I get perfect network coverage in my area pretty much all the time, have been with o2 since the BT cellnet days and have never had a problem up until now.
