Hi,

 

I'm not getting text messages from certain people. I can send to them, but their replies are not getting through. We can phone each other and they are not blocked on my phone, nor am I on theirs. They are on different networks.

 

Checked with O2 and it’s not a ‘network issue’ as there are apparently no problems on my account.

Does anyone have any ideas?

 

Cheers

One word. iMessagerage

 

Worked with some people, not others. (All were using iPhones).

 

Turned it off, problems went away.grin

 

The thing is, I hadn't turned it on in the first place as I don't like the concept. Naughty upgrade perhaps ....Destroy

Double check you haven't added them to spam.
The spam list is usually found in the text message app settings as opposed to the normal blocking settings.

Yeah, no logic to it at all.....

A couple of things to try.

1 - Take sim out and give it a wipe with a dry cloth.

2 - Manually select Vodafone network and wait for it to fail, then reselect O2 and see if that pushes them through.
