Blackbery Bold does not send or receive MMS messages

When I receive an MMS it says Not Retrieved Yet and when I click "download now"  it says "receiving content" but it is not downloaded. I have reset the device by removing battery and SIM card. I confirmed with my provider that I have the ability to receive MMS. Everything is checked to receive MMS messages. I also cannot send an MMS. It attaches a pic but cannot send. I receive SMS texts.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
With a strong carrier network signal (e.g., not merely WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
1) Register HRT
KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app
2) Resend Service Books
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
Please wait for "Activation" Messages, one per already configured email account, to arrive in your Messages. If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.
3) Reboot
With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.
See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should again contact your mobile service provider for formal support and potential formal escalation to BB for enhanced support.
Good luck!

  • ? Exalt does not send or receive text messages

    My Exalt Android phone will not send or receive text messages and the Verizon support area is not responding.

        We apologize for the delay, DieselDoug!
    What device do you have exactly? We want to make sure we get the texts to work again. We are not familiar with Exalt Android.
    Are you using  a text app?

  • Iphone 5s not sending or receiving mms

    I Just got 2 new iphone 5s and neither one will send or receive MMS messages. Verizon says they are looking into it. Is anyone else having this issue?

    Sending MMS is a carrier feature.  You'll have to deal with Verizon.

  • Can i send and receive mms messages in my ipad ?

    how i can send and receive mms messages in my ipad?

    You should be able to do this through the iMessage app if the other person is connected through an apple device If not however there are plenty of apps on the app store that you would be able to use to send pics as long as the other user has a smart phone (does not have to be apple)... for example WhatsApp, Kik, Skype etc Hope that this helps!

  • IPhone will not send or receive group messages

    I recently got an iPhone because I needed to be able to group text with my boss and coworkers. However, upon getting a brand new iPhone 4s (Verizon) I discovered that my phone still does not send or receive group texts. I have turned on group messaging so I should be receiving them. Any ideas on what is wrong? Is it something I can fix or do I need to go to the Apple store?

    Make sure MMS is On in Settings > Messages.
    If that doesn't work, take a look at this -> iOS: Troubleshooting Messages

  • My iphone 4 will not send and receive text messages at random times

    My iphone 4 will not send and receive text messages at random times.  My brother has the same phone, lives in the same home and doesn't have this problem.  I can't receive messages without my iphone displaying a message asking for my phone number at random times. It happens intermittently.  Does anyone know why this happens? I am referring to regula text messages not imessages.  I have turned it off and also updated to the most recent software. thanks

    I've been an AT&T customer since they were under different names in the 90s and have never heard/seen that. I would check with them. I'd really like to see that error. To get a screenshot on the phone, press the home button and sleep/wake button together quickly and release. You will see the screen flash slightly and hear the camera shutter noise.

  • Since moving my iPhone 4S with iOS 7.0.4 to straight talk I cannot send or receive mms messages. How can I fix that?

    Help me please... Since moving my iPhone 4S with iOS 7.0.4 to straight talk I cannot send or receive mms messages. How can I fix that?

    Since Straight Talk, using a GSM iPhone is not "officially" supported, you're gonna have to configure the APN settings manually. Go here:

    This site is a collection of APN setting for unsupported GSM carriers. This is a good place to get the correct settings for your phone.

  • 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

  • Cannot send or receive MMS messages!!

    I cannot send or receive MMS messages on my BT mobile HTC S620.  Also I keep getting the BT Set-up screen yet it won't proceed past the first step of four!  I have re-set this handset back to factory settings and updated the software via computer/download, however, I cannot find a solution to get my MMS messages! Help please?  (By the way wireless, emails and SMS messages work fine.)
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Sounds like something has gone wrong with regards to the MMS settings and looks like you'll need to re-enter them.
    The settings I found for it as follows:
    Access point name: mobile.bt.uk
    Username: user
    Password: btmms
    Authentication: Normal
    Data bearer: GPRS
    Gateway IP address: 212.183.137.012 or 62.239.21.123
    Session mode: Permanent
    URL address: http://mms.bt.com/servlets/mms or http://mmsc.btmms.co.uk:8002
    We have also been told that the following settings may work for a corporate BT Mobile: APN: btmobile.bt.com , username:bt , password:bt, port:8799 , IP address:212.183.137.12
    My Motto:
    Going to kill my HomeHub 2 very soon.

  • IPhone 5s will not send or receive mms/group messaging

    Hello,
    I recently got a new iPhone 5s for my birthday. Before I had a iphone 4. My carrier is verizon
    I had never been able to send pictures to friends who have non iphone phones. I also was never able to receive a group message with people who have non iPhones and iPhones. When I try to send a group message including non iphone users, it sends all messages independently. I have tried everything from turning iMessage and mms on and off to taking out my SIM card. My friend who has an iphone started a group chat with users of iphone and non iphone, though I am still not able to receive the messages even with a new phone and a new SIM card. Is this a problem with verizon? Even so my friends who receive the group chat have verizon and still get the messages. Please I need to fix this because it's extremely aggravating that a simple group messaging function does not work and that no one so far can give me answer on how to fix this. Thanks.

    Contact Verizon. Group messages in iOS send as MMS messages, which is the same thing used to send picture messages. Your account is not provisioned properly (or you do not have a plan that includes MMS messaging).

  • Nokia Lumia 920 does not send or receive texts

  • 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?

  • Cannot send or receive mms messages iphone 3gs

    I have an iPhone 3GS running iOS 6.1.6 the phone is locked to AT&T. I use a Straight Talk SIM and have, voice, data, and Text but cannot send or receive MMS. I have gone through the APN update for Straight talk and even talked to spoke with a tech support rep. He said that he adjusted the APN settings for my SIM card and still not able to send.

    SMS/MMS are carrier features so take it out with them.
    We cannot help here.

  • IMessage does not send when receiver is not online

    I am trying to send an iMessage to another iPhone (version 5.0.1) that is not online (not on 3G) at this moment. I have used iMessage to this person before when that iPhone was on wifi. In my settings I have "send as sms/text" turned on. So I am expecting that the message is going via the cellular sms/text, but the receiver does not get anything (using another phone works well so the receiver can receive sms/text messages).
    What could be the problem here? Thanks to all for helping me out here.

    Hi Allan, thanks for taking the time to help.
    Let me explain a little bit further. My sons iPhone does not have a dataplan, only call/sms plan. I use iMessage with him when he is on a wifi at home or at school.
    But now he is not on wifi and I want to sms/text him. My wife with an Android can SMS him fine. He can SMS me as well but my SMS does not get delivered. So he has cellular reception.
    With "send as SMS" turned on in settings, I would expect my message to be transfered via SMS. The send button is still blue, suggesting iMessage is still used and not green (which would suggest SMS).
    Thanks for the help!
