My last blackberry i had did this but this doesnt. I dont know what the problem is so please help!!!

Hello bizubx101
Welcome to the Community
I believe you are referring to MMS. Please contact your Carrier because there is no settings on the phone about it and it can only be fixed by the Carrier.

Hi kblankenship,
I can help with both the picture messaging and data service concerns. I'll need to take a look at your account to confirm what you have been set up to do. Please send me a direct message that includes your mobile number. Thanks!

need help why i cant send or receive picture from my iphne

Are you using MMS to send/receive? If so:
Have you checked Settings > Messages > MMS Messaging is set to "On"?
Have you checked that your cellular carrier allows MMS and you are signed up for it (may cost extra)?

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

After i updated to ios6 i cant send or recieve picture messages?! help please

I recently updated to IOS6 and now i cant send or recieve picture messages unless im using imessage. But then when i do use imessage it send messages as my email not as my phone number....what is going on?!

From the 2nd link below.
Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
    1.    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    2.    Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
    3.    Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
    4.    Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    5.    An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
    6.    Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
    7.    Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.

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.
