Sms texts

Neither one of my kids can send or receive sms texts on their iPhones. They have gone into settings and everything is set up just like my phone... I am able to send. What else can we try?

Do they have SMS AND send and receive from their phone numbers checked in settings?

Huh....that is odd.

Did these phones ever have SMS?  Are they Verizon phones?

Have you tried new SIM cards.

Yes they are Verizon phones and they've had them for a year. This just started in the last week

Try a full reset and restore.

then new SIM card. 

ITs  odd that both have the same problem at the same time.  Maybe they did something?  Like fool with the sim lock?

or restrictions?

rangerandryder,

This is an interesting issue. If all the settings are the same, the phones should work the same. When did the issue start? Is it with both imessage and regular text?
