Help re text messages and sending photos

Is there any way to forward a receieved text message, and is it possible to send a taken picture to another mobile phone?
Thanks

It is currently not possible to forward text messages from the iPhone, but as soon as iPhone firmware 3.0 comes out in the summer you will be able to do that.
As far as sending pictures goes, you cannot send a picture via the MMS service, you have to send pictures via email. If you want to send pictures to other people's phones, you have to do the following:
Verizon:
[email protected] (the x's are the 10 digit phone number)
These are the ones I have so far, but I have not tested them all:
Alltel- @message.alltel.com
AT&T- @mms.att.net
Boost Mobile- @myboostmobile.com
Sprint- @messaging.sprintpcs.com
T-Mobile- @tmomail.net
Virgin Mobile- @vmobl.com
Now even though you currently can't send pic messages with the MMS service, Apple's iPhone firmware 3.0 will support MMS, so you won't have to email pictures once it comes out.

  • HELP!  I am having trouble with text messaging and sending pictures

    I have had the handcent app for a very long time and I have never had any issues with it.  Today I downloaded an up date and it is running VERY SLOW and also will not allow me to send pics. It just kicks me out to my home screen.  I have tried uninstalling the app and reinstalling it which did not help.  I have tried uninstalling it and just using the standard messaging and it just keeps trying to load the screen to text.  I have tried restarting the phone and turning it off for a few minutes.  My notifications are not running correctly either.  The text pops up then the sound come a minute or two later.  Anyone have any ideas on what to do to resolve this issue or experiencing the same thing?
    Thanks in advance!

    From your description it sounds like you have something hogging up all your systems resources... Try downloading System Panel and activate the monitoring option under the settings and allow it to run and see if it shows any apparently that was using extremely high resources and then try to close it or you can try using a Task Killer for a minute and close. all unused Apps and see if problem continue.
    Also you could boot into Safe Mode and see what happens.. Instruction at http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=42081

  • Help with text messages and calls--urgent and annoying :-/

    Hello: I have an 8350i on the Sprint/Nextel network. Latest issues include what seems to be a dump of my text messages--yesterday received a batch at 5:38pm that had been sent at 9:49am, 10am, 11:27am, noon, 2pm, 2:15pm and then another batch last night at 9:08pm that had been sent at 7:31pm, 8:47pm, and again this morning a batch that arrived at just before 7am that had been sent about 2 hours before. And it's not all the time, or just certain messages. Very frustrating.
    Second issue is that I discoverd that neither my husband or I am able to call my office landline. Colleagues seem to have no trouble.
    Any thoughts out there? Thanks!

    Text message delays are a carrier issue, I would contact sprint and see if there was maintenance in the area or other outages.  Quick fix, you can try to pull the battery out while the device is still on and time it for 2 minutes.  This refreshes your connection and it may work properly after that.  Also, calling other numbers is a carrier issue also.

  • Help!  Text Messages and Call History Deleted after Update

    My Galaxy S4 updated automatically this morning and my text message history and phone call history are gone.  Is there a way to restore this?  Very frustrated.

        aroth1188,
    I understand the importance of retrieving your text message history.  Did you have the Verizon Messaging application installed on the device?  This application may have your messages backed up for you to restore.  Please let us know if you still need further assistance.

  • I've been texting my friend with iMessage with wifi on and all of a sudden it changed to text message and won't let me send messages. My wifi is still on and working but it won't switch back to iMessage. Please help

    I've been texting my friend with iMessage with wifi on and all of a sudden it changed to text message and won't let me send messages. My wifi is still on and working but it won't switch back to iMessage. Please help

    What I recommend you try doing first is to turn iMessage off then back on.  If that doesn't work, make sure that your Apple ID and password are correct.  If everything seems correct and you still can't send out messages using iMessage instead of text message, I think you should either try calling AppleCare at 1-800-MY-IPHONE (1-800-694-7466) and/or scheduling an appointment at the Genius Bar at an Apple Store (that is, if there's one close to you).
    Hope this helps!

    Also MMS is supported on a carrier by carrier basis. While mostly every carrier does support ths feature make sure that your carrier allows this functionality.

  • Since the software update my photo from LinkedIn now is attached to all of my text messages and I DO NOT WANT THAT.  How do I remove my photo from my test messages?

    Anyone know how to remove your own picture that is now attached to all text messages?  Since the software update (assume KitKat) my LinkedIn photo is now attached to all my text messages and I never set that up, nor can I figure out how to remove it!
    How do I remove my photo from my text messages?  Android RazrM.
    Help!  It is driving me crazy.  Thank you.

    Thanks, but this information was not useful.  First it was outdated (2012 and the software is 2013/2104)  in the Settings/Apps/All section there was no "Text Messaging" icon.  Under "Phone/Messaging" the clear cache was not possible, it was not available, an active option.
    VERIZON/GOOGLE -  I am still hoping to learn how to remove my photo from my text messages - why is this so difficult?  Why is something like this added without my permission or at my request?   May be a reason to jump ship to iOS.

    When I text anyone who don't use Apple devices I have to resend the message two or three times it goes through. I have an iPhone 5c running on iOS 8.0.2 if that helps figure anything out. Thank you.
    SMS is a carrier function. If you're having trouble with sending them, you should start by contacting your carrier.
    Best of luck.

  • Problem sending text messages and imessages

    Hi,
    I have been having some problems with my iphone 5 when sending and receiving text messages and imessages. When i go to send a text or imessage it will take a long time for the message to try to send through, then it comes up with message failure. I have full reception and internet connection and the phone is runing on the lastest ios7.1.2, everything is working in that respect. Sometimes it will freeze my whole inbox and i end up having to turn my phone off and on again to unfreeze it. It has also started taking a long time to receive messages, i will get a message and it will say that it was received 30mins ago when its only just shown up on my phone. I am also having problems deleting messages, as it freezes whenever i try to delete them.
    Any suggestions on what to do?
