"Message Failed to Send" Texting

Intermittent problem with "Message Failed to Send" - Texting to someone, delivered OK, then suddenly "Message Failed to Send". Some times I call the person and they say yes it was delivered, but often: "No I didn't get that one but did receive the ones you sent after the missing message. This NOT just happening on my AT&T carrier iPhone, also on my iPad, and most recently on my 27" iMac desktop.

Hi PFortman,


Thanks for coming to Apple Support Communities for help today.


  • Is this only happening with a single contact?
  • Have you double-checked the contact information?
  • Is this an iMessage or an SMS text message?

Be sure and follow this article: If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.


If this is an SMS message, make sure you have Text Message Forwarding switched on in Settings > Messages. You can read more about that here: How to forward SMS/MMS text messages from your iPhone to your iPad, iPod touch or Mac.


If it's still happening, let us know further details.


Have a fantastic day!
