I just got my iPhone 3GS tonight. My friend and I tested out the text messaging. The messages I sent her were almost instantly received on her end. She, in turn, sent me messages but I received none of them. She tried several times to send me messages. Is there something wrong with my phone?
Got a tip for us?

Try calling AT&T about your text message delivery problems.
Maybe they can reset or fix it for ya.

Try turning on and off your phone. If that doesn't work you can try making a phone call, back when I had verizon and I wasn't receiving my text messages I would make a phone call and they would come through. If those two fail you could always try restoring your iPhone and if none of the above work go to the apple store.
This may be the cause, I ported my number from Verizon a few nights ago and I had no trouble, but it if you try all those and you have no success it is probably a hardware problem.
If your number was recently ported from another carrier there is usually a time period where texts/calls etc won't come through correctly. My expirence had me reciving calls on my old phone and could only make calls on my iPhone
was normal in an hour or two .

I had the same problem with texts the first day I got my 3GS. Ported my number from Verizon too. Should be fine by tomorrow
