Most vessels within range of her powerful wireless did receive it, but were unable to make it to the scene in time before she went down. The one vessel that did not receive the SOS signsl was the small British liner Californian, the reasons for this being that she was stuck in pack ice and also the wireless operator was not on duty to hear her distress calls. The Californian was only 10 miles distant from Titanic and the Board of Enquiry after the disaster heavily criticised her captain for not having taken adequate measures to respond to any nearby vessels that were in distress.
The Californian was the closest to them. Some people on the Californian thought the distress rockets were to celebrate. By the time the SOS was recognized, the Californian was far away, and the RMS Carpathia was the only ship to rescue survivors.
A lot of other ships in the surrounding area sent messages to the Titanic warning of the ice in the area around Newfoundland. The last ship known to be in contact with her was the Californian who supposedly also saw the distress signals but where in no possible situation to other the help. It was the HMS Carpathia who eventually came to Titanic's passengers aid and collected survivors from lifeboats before continuing to dock in New York.
The SS Californian was 10 miles away and ignored the Titanic's distress signals.
