[Q] SMS not received problem (from only 1 person) - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi my GF has the i9100 also, and from only 1 person she can not receive texts.
her friend has an iphone 4s (rubbish =p) and i have seen both phones and there is no software block on either to stop texts. i think the networks are o2 and T-mobile. however when my GF had an iPhone 3gs it worked... as i said only this one person she can not receive from.
there are no blacklists with the number on it, and they can call each other fine

was that number reported by the user to the provider?

LOL no they can call eachother both fine, as in reported do you mean the user asked for it to be blocked? they are best friends so thats not the case

No incoming calls

My ATT HOX+ is not receiving incoming calls.
I am not sure when it started.
I rooted with Hasson's tool several days ago and I have no other problem that I know of. Not sure if rooting is responsible or not.
I can receive calls from my GF's ATT iPhone, but I get no image of her for some reason.
I do not get calls from my ATT landline (not U-verse VOIP).
I do not get calls from my mothers landline, she does have VOIP from something other than ATT.
Data, wifi, sms, mms, all seem to be fine,
Any advice is greatly welcome

You could run the RUU and see if that clears up the issue. If not, then you know it is a phone or network issue.
Tried everything that seemed safe to try.
Called ATT, the nice person took me off network and back on again while I had the sim card out.
Fixed the problem with my landline not being able to call, but not my mother not being able to call.
The tech is sending my to get a new sim card on the off-chance it is the culprit, but believes that it is a network problem.
I will check back with an update later incase anyone else has a similar problem.

I'm having the same problem as are others. Found this fix which might help.

I'm experiencing this problem as well. It doesn't matter who tries to call me from what, but calls only make it through about 5% of the time, which is completely unacceptable. The calls that don't make it through won't go to voicemail. Half the time it rings endlessly, the other half it will give some message saying the call cant be completed.
When I first got the phone, I didn't switch my data plan to an LTE plan right away (Best Buy didn't require me to do so, and AT&T insisted that I had to switch to their $30/mo plan so I kept my $25/mo plan for the first few weeks). During the time I did not have an LTE data plan I experienced no issues with the phone. A few weeks back I noticed that AT&T was now giving me an option for a $25/mo LTE plan, so I switched to that. That exact day is when I started not being able to receive phone calls.
Other things I've noticed since switching to the LTE data plan:
When I make calls, I often have to try 2-3 times before I can get the call to go through. Sometimes as soon as I try to make the call, the phone beeps at me. Sometimes it will hang for a good 10 seconds before it starts to ring.
Occasionally my phone will stop recognizing the SIM card, requires reboot.
Occasionally I'll lose my data connection, requires reboot.
Text messages some times take over an hour to send/receive, sometimes this is solved by a reboot, other times not.
I went to an AT&T store, they tried switching out my SIM card, but did not help me any further because I bought the phone at Best Buy. (I wanted to argue with the rep, because I had bought my Atrix from Amazon, and the same AT&T store helped me with the problems I had with that phone). The rep fed me some garbage saying that some phone numbers just don't work with HTC phones. Fed up, I left the store.

[Q] Please Help Me

Okay, I'm really getting desperate. T-Mobile doesn't seem to be able to help me, and I'm thinking that XDA may be my next best hope.
My question is a general one about cell phone service. I am on the Galaxy Note II.
I am using T-Mobile service, and I have been for 2 months. During my time with them, I have had a lot of trouble being able to receive calls. Randomly, people will say that they were unable to reach some of the lines on my account. It is generally people calling from landline phones, as far as I know. T-Mobile had an outage in my home area today and my service was terrible. I started looking for a VOIP app in the meantime. I decided to try "Bobsled by T-Mobile." When I attempted to call my mother, who has a line on my account, it displayed her number properly, but when I tried to call her and it actually said the number couldn't be completed as dialed. When I looked at my screen, it had removed a number from the area code. For example, her number is 540-xxx-xxxx, but on the screen, the app said it was calling 54 xxx-xxxx. Any ideas what could cause this. I'm thinking it might have something to do with how the SIM card is configured, but I can't be sure.
Any ideas?

Text messages being delivered by a different number than before

Hey all
My friend got a new Samsung Galaxy S 6 through Sprint. I too have a Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6.
His phone was activated with a random number He called Sprint to have his original number from AT&T put on the phone and that process took place fine.
Here is the scenario....he calls me from his phone. His desired original AT&T number shows up. No problem
I call him dialing his desired old number...his phone rings just fine. No problem with calls.
I text him to his desired number...works great.
Here is the problem:
He texts me back...it shows with a wrong number.....the original random sprint number....NOT the new (old) ATT number. I try to call that number back and it is not a working number.
We have talked to Sprint and they had him punch in some numbers with pounds to reset his phone but the problem persists. I am thinking it is my phone but don't really know what to do from here.
Bottom line...his phone texts me with a wrong number and it does not happen to other people.
Any advice would be appreciated!
SOLVED
The problem was with AT&T not completely porting the number. No issues now.

Can't get verizon SIM card to work on Moto e

I just can't seem to find anyone with the same issue.
My girlfriend broke her phone recently and we went to get a cheap one until we have the money to get a much better phone. She has a 4g LTE sim card activated with Verizon already, but when we plug it in everything seems to be working fine, except she can't make outgoing calls or texts or use data. She can receive calls and texts, but can't send them. And everytime she tries to make a call it automatically sends her to a verizon number much like *611. This happens when calling any number. I think something is blocking outgoing anything because when we first plugged in the SIM card for about 2 minutes she could send messages. We've tried other SMS apps, and the default Verizon SMS app says "sending disabled" when trying to send a message.
Any ideas on how to get around this or unlock the phone? I don't need the unlock for other carriers, since we already have Verizon.
Thanks
Not a vzw subscriber, so no personal experience, but I've seen a couple posts here referring to a fairly new vzw policy that disallows use of postpaid Sims in prepaid devices. Think it automatically locks your account, and you have to call to unlock.

Verizon rolled out a new policy on January 17th requiring postpaid users to pay for one month of prepaid service ($30) before being able to use the phone on postpaid. Not doing so "hotlines" the account. You'll either need to pay the first month, or stick the SIM into a non-prepaid phone, call up *611, and have the rep remove the hotlining.

Not getting texts

My gf has been complaining about her not coming in or sending. I've read a story about sending people coming from iPhone might have the problem but she had a Note 5 previously. Anyone with the same issue or have any suggestions?
Check with carrier first. Then a network reset.
i've got a verizon phone with a t-mobile sim to complicate things, but yeah, i've missed texts and calls. i'd just suddenly get a voicemail without the missed call
