    These headings should appear (in order) when you go to Settings > Messages:
    iMessage
    Send Read Receipts
    Send as SMS (the one I asked you to turn on in most recently)
    Send & Receive
    MMS Messaging (the one I asked you to turn on in the first post)

    Hopefully this is what you see.  Otherwise, please post a screen shot.

  • HT3529 Why cant i send and receive pictures thru text it worked before now nothing

    Why cant Isend and receive pictures thru the text it worked before now nothing

    What error messages are you getting? What trouble shooting steps have you already taken? Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears? Have you checked Settings>Messages>MMS Messaging to make sure that it's set to "On"? Have you contacted your carrier to make sure your account is still properly provisioned?

  • I cannot send or receive text messages to anyone who doesn't have an iPhone.  Can anyone help??

    Suggestions?

    If you are using imessages that only works across other ios devices. You cant use it to text or recieve from non ios devices.

  • Why can't I send or receive picture messages on my iPhone 4s?

    Why can't I send or receive picture messages on my iPhone 4s?

    Make sure that MMS is turned on in Settings. Sometimes that can get turned off during an update, if you recently did that. Next try would be a reset. If that doesn't help, then contact the carrier, as SMS and MMS are carrier specific functions.

  • I bought an unlocked iphone 5 with 32mb especially so I could use any wireless carrier that I wanted to.  Why does apple hold me prisoner to use only the carriers that apple wants?????  The only thing I can't do is send and receive picture messaging.

    I specifically bought and paid for an unlocked iphone 5 from APPLE so that I could use any wireless carrier I wanted to.  I have been paying ATT WAYYY too much money the last 20 years.  But for some reason APPLE wants to keep me from using any wireless carrier - and I can only use the carriers that APPLE will let me.  WHY????  I paid my money!!  I expected a lot more than I got.  The only thing I can't do is send or received picture messages, but it makes me so Mad that I can';t do that!!!

    If you bought an unlocked iPhone then it will work with any carrier but will work only under the restrictions or requirements the carrier sets for its customers.  Apple has nothing to do with that.  You are describing a problem of restricted access created by the carrer.  If you cannot carry out the functions you want, talk to the carrier and see what limits they are placing on you.  An unlocked iPhone is fully capable of all functions the carrer allows.

  • Why won't my iPhone 5 send or receive picture messages?

    I recently purchased a new iPhone 5 on Vodafone, since I've had it I've been unable to send or receive picture messages.
    I have rang Vodafone several times and each time they reset and send through the correct settings to my phone. Each time also not being successful.
    I spoke with a lady from Vodafone this morning and she claimed it was a problem with the iPhone 5 model and not being able to pick up 3G aswell as the 4/4S models.
    This massively disappoints me as I love the apple products and was looking forward to upgrading to the 5, now I wish I stuck with the 4S.
    Will there be an update or some kind of instruction to fix this issue?

    Have you called AppleCare?
    No, it doesn't have anything to do with picking up 3G at all. I sent at least 5 pictures back and forth last night on my iPhone 5 with another person who has an iPhone 5.
    You do have MMS turned on? And you are connected to cell data?

  • IPhone 5 will not send or receive picture messages ? Tried everything !

    Recently purchased iPhone 5 and have found that I am unable to send or receive picture messages I have tried all of the suggested fixes and still will not work ! I find this extremely annoying and a bit ridiculous that considering the iPhone 5 is meant to be the best phone available to date I can't send or receive a simple mms message this needs sorted !

    First does your carrier contract support MMS?
    If so, is Settings > Messages > MMS Messaging  turned ON?

  • Since update, will not send or receive picture messages unless using imesage

    Since the I0S6 update, my phone will not send or receive picture messages unless it's being sent through iMessage.
    I know of other people having the same problem, with different versions of the phone and different carriers.
    Anyone else?
    I have the iPhone 4 with Sprint.
    Friend has the iPhone 4s with Verizon.

    Check settings/message and make sure MMS is ON.  Also chcek that your carrier/your plan allows sending of pictures over MMS

  • How can I send or receive picture messages?

    I have been unable to send or receive picture messages sinice I started to use my iphone 3

    Are you using the phone on a supported carrier? Have you checked with your carrier to make sure that your account is properly provisioned? Have you turned on MMS in Settings>Messages? What happens when you try to send?

  • HT4623 Unable to send or receive picture messages

    I have been unable to send or receive picture messages since I started using the iphone.

    I have an iPhone 5 and since I updated to ios 7.1, I can't sent pics unless the other phone has iMessage. I use h2O and I use the sim swap to get to my cellular network. I enter the settings and I noticed when I enter the mms apn: att.mvno will eventually disappear and says home. I repeated this process a dozen time with the same result.
    All the setting that I've enter didn't change but the mms apn. Att.mvno.
    Keep in mind, I used the sim swap method on my iPhone 4s and the 5 and never had a problem until this new update!  It's driving me nuts and would like to know how to resolve this problem? I'm not sure if I revert back to 7.0.6 will fix it but before I do it , I like to know if that will work Bc it's time consuming!  Apple needs to fix this problem Bc it was fine before this dam upgrade.

  • Sending and receiving picture messages

    I was given a torch as a gift recently. I like the phone but can't send or receive picture messages. The service allows it, as I had no problems on my motorola doing it. Is there somehere I can go to update the software to get the option? I have looked through everything here, the option is just not there at all like the manual says it should be. 

    You must have the BIS BlackBerry Data Plan in order to use "data", such your picture MMS messages and to get the RIM push email functions, as well as additional BlackBerry data services such as the internet browser, Facebook for BlackBerry, BlackBerry Messenger, and much more.
    So, as recommended, call your carrier and inquire about having the BlackBerry Data Plan added to your account.
    Good luck.

  • Sending and receiving picture messages? is that supposed to work?

    its not working but the landscape and copy and paste and voice memo and search and everything else seems to be working...but i though that we could send and receive picture messages now through text?

    you can if your telco allows you too. call them and make sure it is enabled on your service.
