SYNC should always be able to offer the text messaging feature, though it relies on your phone's compatibility in order to work. It's also important to confirm that your vehicle is running the most current version of software available for it. This is our current list of tested and compatible devices for your reference: http://support.ford.com/sync-technol...c-myford-touch

Mine was not working...after work i today followed these instructions. And now it's all good!!
I dont understand why it stopped working, as it did work at one time.
I even took a pic of the instructions so i always have it on my iPhone 5 for when it happens again, which i'm sure it will!
THANKS

Man as it says in my signature this forum is the bomb. Just bought my wife a 2.0 Eco escape and these instructions worked like a charm to read msgs.
You cannot send canned txt but 50% is 100 better than nothing.

Off subject, but the list shows my HTC evo 4g lte does support sms. I just assumed it was a typical bug. Now that I know it should, I'm going to get it working.
Thanks for this info.
Edit; working perfect now.
This forum helps yet again.

There is a lot of good info in this thread: https://www.f150forum.com/f38/iphone-5-sync-207637/
However, Follow these steps exactly (props to [MENTION=130156]jgohlke[/MENTION] for writing all this out).
The sequence seems to have a large part of it working or not.
1) Truck - Delete phone from BT device list.
2) Phone - Delete Sync from BT connection list.
3) Phone - Reboot. (Do steps 4 & 5 while you wait for this to finish)
4) Truck - Turn off, pull the key, open the door.
5) Truck - Close the door, restart.
6) Truck/Phone - Pair your phone fresh w/MFT. Let it finish.
7) Phone - Turn BT off.
8) Phone - Turn BT on.
9) Truck - Hit "connect" on the MFT screen to reconnect BT.
10) Phone - Go into the BT Profile Settings screen for Sync (little arrow to the right of Sync, in Settings, Bluetooth)
11) Phone - Set Notifications to "On".
12) Phone - Back up a screen and turn BT off again.
13) Phone - Turn BT back on.
14) Truck - Hit "connect" on the MFT screen again to reconnect to phone.
I did exactly this to my phone/truck when I was trying to fix my text messaging issues. I haven't had a problem with it since.
