As long as you're in the range of a network, getting text messaging working again is usually pretty easy. Here's what we've found works.
Texting feels like the most basic function of a phone, even more so than calling. Some reasons it's not working could be:
•You are out of range of a network
•The Messages app isn't responding
•Apple's system isn't working
Follow these instructions to get your iPhone to send text messages again.
1.Connect to a network. Messages go through your cell phone provider's connection. If you are instead connected to a Wi-Fi network, your iPhone will use the Wi-Fi connection. If you are connected via Wi-Fi, turn off Wi-Fi, wait until the iPhone connects to your carrier's network, and try sending a message again.
2.Turn Airplane Mode on and off. By toggling Airplane Mode on and off, you'll force the iPhone to request a new connection to the network, and texting should start working again.
3.Quit and restart the Messages app. Sometimes apps encounter conflicts and need a helping hand (er, finger swipe). Force-quit the messaging app, then try again.
4.Restart the iPhone. Restarting your device can remove any software conflicts that have stopped messages from coming or going.
5.Check the iMessage system status. It may be that the problem has nothing to do with your iPhone; maybe the Apple servers are down. Check the Apple System Status page to see if there's a problem with iMessage. If there is, you'll have to wait for Apple to resolve it.
Aug 13, 2017 · I just recently bought a new iPhone 6s and noticed some time later that I can't send or recieve text messages without wifi. This is really strange because I can call, so I have service but my texts won't send unless I'm at home or using data.
