Missed an important message? If your phone isn’t receiving texts—whether from just one person or all contacts—it could be a sign of a network, settings, or software issue. At Boston Mobile Phone Repairs, we help both Android and iPhone users get their messages back on track.

🔍 Common Causes of Missing Texts

Network signal issues
SIM card problems
iMessage or RCS misconfigurations
Blocked numbers
Outdated software or carrier settings
Storage space full
Third-party messaging app conflicts

✅ Quick Fixes You Can Try

📶 1. Check Signal & Restart

Make sure you have reception. Then restart your phone—it helps reset your connection to the network.

🛑 2. Check for Blocked Contacts

Go to your messaging app settings and review your blocked list.

⚙️ 3. Toggle Messaging Settings

iPhone:
Go to Settings > Messages > iMessage and turn it off/on
Also check Send & Receive options.
Android:
Open Messages app > Settings > Chat Features
Disable RCS and retry traditional SMS.

🔄 4. Reset Network Settings

This clears out old or corrupted network info:

iPhone:
Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
Android:
Settings > System > Reset > Reset Wi-Fi, mobile & Bluetooth

💾 5. Free Up Space

If your storage is full, messages may stop coming through. Delete unnecessary files or apps.
