How do I receive text messages sent while absent on a two week vacation?

I turned my phone off for two weeks while I was away on vacation, and when I turned it back on I didn't receive any messages. I'm still having trouble receiving current messages from contacts.

SOURCE: forwarding texts

Unfortunately it's not possible to forward texts with the SMS application that comes with the iPhone.

There is a third party application that allows forwarding text messages, but it appears to be available only for jailbroken phones: http://www.iphonefaq.org/archives/97332

There should be a third party app available in the app store soon with more robust SMS features.

SOURCE: hi im having trouble receiving

Hi welcome to fixya! The problem is not in your phone, its on the network service provider. If your iPhone has a universal connection which mean ready for another network then try another sim card, if still don't work out, look for a software that could upgrade your iPhone system. try it, it works on me!

SOURCE: "Check Operator Services" when sending a text

most probably you have disabled the CLI thing. In which your cell tries to prevent your number being shown to the person you are calling.
It is usually under Network settings, or Call settings (CLI/Show my number/Send my Number).

SOURCE: how do I view or recover _sent_ SMS messages on iPhone 4?

When you are going to recover deleted text messages from iPhone, what you need to do first is check whether you did a backup.
If the backup exist, you can recover them directly by:
Enter DFU Mode and Scan for Deleted Text messages/sms
Preview and recover lost SMS
If the backup doesn't exist, you must turn to help for iPhone data recovery, which is easily found in net.

Some (but not all) text messages not arriving/delayed by 2 days

sounds like a poor signal area, try going outside away from the building to send a message, go to a different area, don't be behind anything metal or big buildings, Try semaphore as a last resort.

Good luck

you better update your phone software at your nearest LG service Care center. Even though the problem persists then it your service providers problem or the senders service provider problem. So please conctact your service providers toll free no & lodge a complaint.

Week old phone has stopped sending texts!!

Take the sim and memory card out of the phone, then type in *#7370# and then it will say restore factory settings, say yes, then it will ask for a lock code, this is 12345 - the phone will reset and then you will be able to send messages again.

!!*Make sure you back up all of your contacts and pictures etc onto your memory or sim card otherwise it will get erased*!!

Sending texts

maybe there's too much messages in your inbox and/or outbox.you need to delete some or all the messages.
there's also another way. you have to buy a sim card from your provide becuase your current sim card might be broken.

Message Receipt Failed

Check your multimedia message settings for your SMS/MMS app. Check to see if its set to only download a certain limit. You might be set to something less than 1 MB. Can you receive normal text messages?

Pantech Duo won't let me send Text Messages!

i have had this problem previously. sometimes it would work if i sent a message to myself. other times, i would have to just wait a few minutes, and then try again. also, i have made a call, and only then would my messages be sent. personally, i think this phone is horrible.

SMS sending error!

if its a new phone / sim then you might need sms / wap settings sent from your service provider to set the sms message centre number in your phone etc.

Alternatively some SP's require you to call them and register a payg phone to enable full functionality, call your customer service line and explain, they will fix it right away.
