Can IPhone send or recieve picture messages?

i wanna know if i can send my pictures from the iphone to a regular phone. how do i do that? it only says i can send to email...is there a specific way?

This has been posted about many times on this forum. A forum search will give you plenty of answers.
The best way is to have some one send you a pic from their cell. In the "To:" field, have them enter your e-mail address instead of your phone number (they do not have to have e-mail on their cell to do this). When you receive the pic, save the address that it came from, it will look like [email protected] for example) There is a complete list of the MMS gateways on many other posts or you can do a Google search.

    Hi KickStart
    Welcome to BlackBerry Support Forums
    Have you called your Carrier Koodo to know if your account is provisioned with MMS services ?What happen when you try it this way : 
    Open SMS icon and compse an SMS.
    Click on the Menu (BlackBerry) key.
    Select Attach and select one of the options: Picture | Video | Location | Audio | Voice Notes | Contact | Appointmentl.
    Complete attaching the file and the screen will show "Switching to MMS Mode, May incur extra costs".
    And now MMS is ready to send.
    Are you able to Send MMS now ? If not then please check those Knowledge Base Article :
    KB13667 : Unable to send photos in MMS messages.

  • 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.

    Power the device off.
    Remove the battery.
    Let the device sit for 15 seconds.
    Replace the battery.
    Power the device back on.
    Now you can proceed with your task.

  • HT4623 my phone3 will not send or recieve picture messages. How do I fix that?

    I have an Iphone 3 and net10 is my provider. I am unable to send or recieve picture messages or multi-media messages. Net10 told me to contact apple and there were some things in programing that will fix my problem. Is this true?

    That's a 3GS phone  (pls update your profile)
    Net10 is not a supported carrier of the iPhone so there are settings that need to be changed to use MMS/iMessage etc.
    You would need to contact them for the proper instructions.

  • Can't send or recieve text messages on the 7610

    Whilst on holiday my phone stopped beingable to send or recieve text messages. It was working for a few days but then just stopped and the message "delete some data to recieve sim messages". I deleted almost everything but nothing has worked. Im now back in the U.K and its still the same. Also, underneath the battery bar is an icon which I have never seen before, its the number 1 with an arrow underneath it going from left to right and pointing mid way thru.
    Is this a virus? Can anyone help please?

    I'd upgrade your firmware because when I had a 7610 it used to do all sorts of dodgy things like what has happened to you.

  • Suddenly I can't send or recieve i messages on my ipad...can anyone help?

    Hi folks,
    For some reason I can't send or receive i messages on my ipad. This has just happened within the last few weeks. I think I have checked everything I can, so would be open to suggestions.
    The facility to upload  photos to facebook has also stopped working.
    Don't know if it's connected ?
    Thanks

    You must not be connected to wifi.
    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

  • 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?

  • Can't send or recieve text messages via WiFi

    I have a Galaxy S4 and live in a black hole; little or no cell service. If I go outside I might get one bar.  This is not my issue though, as I'm used to this and have a land line.  However, I would like to be able to send and received text messages via WiFi on my phone.  But I get a message that there is no service available, even though I have WiFi enabled and have a good WiFi signal.  How can I get my phone to use WiFi for sending and receiving text messages at home?

    Text messages go through the voice cellular network not wifi.
    You might want to check out a third party messaging app that uses data either cellular or wifi to send messages.

  • Can't send or receive pictures on iphone 5/ sprint, please help!

    Was on the phone for over 3 hours last night with Apple and Sprint and I'm beyond frustrated.  I just started using my iPhone 5 on the Sprint network a few days ago.  I did the 6.0.2 update.  I can't send or recieve picture messages!  Regular text messages are fine.  Everything else on phone works great.  I've went thru the whole trouble shooting routine on Apple's end w/ a senior advisor and have restored my iphone twice..it doesn't help. 
    Sprint said it has nothing to do with my plan and they said that my coverage here is fine. 
    Has anyone else had this problem?  Was it a problem on Sprint or Apple's end?  Could the 6.0.2 update have caused this?  Could this possibly be a defective phone?  Please help!!

    ok finally got the problem solved.  Hopefully this will help other people experiencing this problem. 
    First, go Settings, then select Phone.  Under "My number" it should say your current number.  If it doesn't (as it didn't in my case) call sprint (dial *2 on your phone).  Tell the sprint agent you would like your Name assigned to your number. 
    In my case, I had been added to an existing family plan.  I was assigned a random new cell phone number, but then later changed it to my old existing phone number from AT&T.  So if you are like me and brought your old cell phone number with you when you switched to Sprint, then this may be the issue. 
    When I was experiencing the problem with my pictures not sending, the wrong phone number was showing as my number on the phone (even though people could call and text me using my current number). 

  • What can I do my iPhone 5 can not recieve picture messages from text messaging or send messages  . only time I can send picture messages or recieve picture messages through iMessage . What do I do ?

    My iphone 5 that I just got on March 14,2015 will not send or recieve  picture messages through text messaging I can only recieve and send picture messages from  iMessage

    Hi, cymoneW. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    I understand that you are unable to send or receive picture messages via the cellular data network.  I would check to make sure that MMS is enable in settings.  This setting is located in Settings > Messages and MMS Messaging.  If the issue persists, try the troubleshooting steps in the article below.

  • 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.

  • My 8130 cant send or recieve pix messages.

    Do I have to download software to allow my phone to send and recieve picture messages? I cant get a straight answer from the girl at the store and I havent recieved anything from Blackberry but I was told when I bought the phone back in June that it would be capable of the option soon

    Are you provisioned by AT&T to use MMS?
    Do you have MMS turn on in message settings?
    Lastly contact AT&T as messaging is a carrier feature.

  • 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.
