I have a 2013 Explorer with MFT. I just wanted to comment on this thread because someone said they have been monitoring and not seeing any posts about iOS 7.1 and text messaging. I upgraded to iOS 7.1 on my iphone 5 in October 2013. After I did that, the same exact issue with text messaging stop working occurred after working all along. I did master resets, went to the dealer, called Ford. No one can help me out. There is something incredibly wrong with it and I have written this on multiple forums. I never know when I get in my car whether the text messaging will work. Today it worked for the first time in 3 weeks. Most likely it won't work tomorrow. I have given up on it working properly and Ford acknowledging that it doesn't.
