solution for no mms/sms with iPhone 4s?

Just got my iPhone 4s and realized I am only able to send iMessage. SMS looks like it goes thru but they never get it. MMS won't send at all.

I see others have this same issue, but I haven't seen one post saying they found a resolution other than a few who said it mysteriously started working a few hours later again.

Anyone have suggestions? I already restored the phone, checked all my settings, etc. Tomorrow I'll go into the Apple store, but I'd love to fix it before then. Thanks!

iPhone 4, iOS 5

We had same issue with my sons phone and fixed - its unusual but may work if you can't solve other ways. It seems his iPod (not IPhone) had picked up in iMessages that he could receive emails from his cell phone number. What was happening is that the messages were being intercepted to his iPod and never getting to his iPhone. If you have multiple apple devices, you may want to see if the cell number got inadvertently synced to the non phone device that may still send receive messages over wifi. Turn off messaging on the ipod. Problem solved for us. All goes straight to phone now.
