Can't receive SMS messages

[XperiaSboy]

Seems to be a common problem, but I haven't found a proper solution.

I don't receive any text messages sent to my number. Everything seems to be ok in settings, Phone is brand new, i's updated with latest software and I have enough memory for receiving messages.

Any solutions?

Try Settings - Apps - All - Messaging then tap clear data and see if that works - If not you may have to reset your settings via the backup and reset - Not the factory reset, There is an option for settings reset, This will not delete anything

Hi Guys,

I suggest trying to remove the SIM from the handset and testing with another SIM card.

Once you have tested with the new SIM simply pop your SIM back in to the device and then get a friend to send you a message.

If you receive SMS from friends who do not use an iPhone but none from the friends who do use an iPhone, then this may be related to iMessage, to solve this issue simply ask your friend to disable iMessage when trying to message you.
