Can other phone brands receive mms from an iPhone?

Are other phones able to receive a picture from an iPhone? If I send a picture, am I sending a 5mp photo in the message?

The size of the picture you send is set in the MMS Settings (Settings...General...Network...Cellular Data Network...MMS Max Message Size.
On iOS4 it defaults to 2MB but the recipient may not be able to receive and image as big as this. Depends on their phone model and their network provider

  • Can no longer send/receive MMS from Non-iPhones

    Just recently (after I updated my iPhone 4S to the iOS 7.0.4), I have been unable to send or receive MMS messages from anyone who does not have an iPhone. I've tried to restart my phone and reset my network settings (temporary fix - it'll let me send or receive maybe 1 MMS from non-iphone user immediately after restart and/or network settings reset and then it will stop working again). I have no issues sending/receiving through iMessage to iPhone users, but for non-iPhone users, it will say "Not Delivered."  This issue is both on Wi-Fi and Cellular Data. Has anyone encountered this same issue --- AND found a solution???? I don't have the option to back-up my data (pics/videos, etc) and do a complete restor of my phone to factory settings - so any solutions not involving that would be greatly appreciated!!

    lindajj, Yikes!! I would be so lost without my text messages. I use my text for everything these days. Let's make sure that we get you up and running with no issues. Does everything else work on your cell phone (calls and data)? Are you using the text message application that came on the phone or a 3rd party application from the Play Store? Also, do you get any kind of error messages when you try to send out a text message? Please keep me posted.

  • I can not send or receive pictures from non iphone devices

    I have tried to send pictures to my boyfriends phone (he doesnt have an Iphone) and they wont complete the sending process. I have unlimited messaging with picture messaging as well so I know its not my provider. The cellular data option is on. My MMS and SMS options are on. I also can not receive the pictures he tries to send me. Can someone please help me figure out why this is happening and how I can fix it?

        That's definitely strange, bigbadscharfy. We're here to help get all texts coming and going. Let's start w/ the basics! Have you checked under Settings>Messages> Is Send as SMS checked on? This can help send out messages as regular texts and not iMessages. Do you receive any error messages when the texts dont go out or receive?

  • New Iphone can't send or receive texts from non-Iphone contacts

    Okay Verizon, you finally convinced me to get a smartphone so I can text, etc. Now I find that only other Iphone users  can get my text messages. This is very annoying. My family members are Verizon and other carriers, Iphone and Droid users but I find that only some can receive or send me messages. What is up with this?

    That is because you are not sending texts, but iMessages. iMessage is an Apple proprietary messaging system which DOES NOT utilize SMS, but instead chooses to send messages counted against your data allowance. iMessage is ALSO only available to Apple phones.
    Go into your settings > messages > make sure that the box is checked to send as SMS if iMessage is not available is checked. This way, when your iPhone cannot send an iMessage to a contact, it will send an SMS.
    Personally, I think you should completely disable iMessage and only send SMS messages. With Verizon, most plans now include unlimited texting and an allowance for data. If you use iMessage, these messages will count against your data allowance where these same messages sent as SMS would not since you most likely have unlimited texting on your account.
    Good luck.

  • Can I send and receive texts from my iphone 4?

     I updated my Touchpad to webOS 3.0.4 and was able to sync my Touchpad and iphone 4 via bluetooth. I was able to set up the telephone calling part of the tether. What I am trying now to do is making the touchpad compatible with the phone for texting. I have read that it can now be done but nowhere can I find HOW to do it. Is it possible? If so, what do I need to do?
    Thanks,
    Joe
    Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

    The answer is no, but not because of anything to do with the webOS. This feature uses a brand-new Bluetooth profile called MAP (Messaging Access Profile) and many devices have not implemented support for it yet. I took a quick look on the Apple support pages and found this article that lists the supported Bluetooth profiles. As you can see, MAP is not listed which means syncing SMS messages will not work on your iPhone.

    You use Restore to get the latest firmware build, not the Update button. You can only use the Update button, if there is an iOS update, say iOS 5.1.
    this link talks about updating to 9A406 to fix the "No Service" issue with iPhone 4S:

    Are the messages successfully sent?
    If so, what happens to a message after it is successfully sent has nothing to do with the cell phone that sent the message.

    Traded in my iPhone for a different brand of phone. I had no idea that I had to sign out of iMessage before doing this. Now, my old phone is gone and my new phone cannot receive texts from people who have iphones and had me as a contact before. They try to send an iMessage and I have no way to receive an iMessgae now. On some server somwhere my AppleID still tells people they should send me iMessages. What is the solution to this issue? Deleting my AppleID would work to solve this issue, but I cannot ever delete the ID? What can Apple do for this?

    If you did not erase your apps and data before getting rid of your old phone, try using Find My Phone and erasing everything remotely. See if this works.

  • Can't receive MMS from iPhones

    Hello Folks,
    Just picked up the Fascinate 3 days ago. LOVING it so far.
    That being said, I am having an issue whereby I cannot receive MMS messages sent from iPhone users. I've tried with 3 different iPhones with no luck. I've also tried a couple of other devices (LG Titanium and Blackberry Storm) and am able to receive MMS from these phones, so I think the issue may be limited to iPhones.
    Has anyone else experienced something similar to this?
    Thanks in advance for your input!
    - DB

    I have provided some information below that may help with receiving a MMS message.
    The Samsung Fascinate supports the following file types and formats.
    Pictures
    PNG, GIF, A-GIF, WBMP and BMP
    Formats
    Video
    H.263, H.264, MPEG4, 3GP,
    3G2 (v9), Xvid and DivX formats
    Music
    WAV, MP3, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, AMR-NB,
    AMR-WB, WMA (v9/10), EVRC, QCELP, MIDI, and SP-MIDI formats
    In order to receive a MMS message, the message containing a picture, video, or sound must be one of the supported file formats above. The MMS message also has to be within a required size format. I have provided the size requirements below:
    Ensuring picture / video message does not exceed file size limit
    Devices with a .3 megapixel camera can send / receive a maximum file size of 100 KB.
    Devices with a 1.2 - 2 megapixel camera can send / receive a maximum file size of 350 KB.
    Devices with a 3.0+ megapixel camera can send / receive a maximum file size of 500 KB.
    Lowering the camera resolution will reduce the image file size.
    The maximum file size that can be sent from an email to a device is 3 MB. When any message over 350 KB is sent to the device, the file is reduced in size to be under 350 KB prior to delivery. If a device sends a 500 KB file to a device with a lower file size limit the file will be reduced to a file size acceptable by the receiving device.
    Many devices are capable of sending messages that exceed intercarrier file size limits (typically 300 - 600 KB).A message that exceeds the other carrier's limits will be rejected and not reach the intended recipient.
    ***The issue you are experiencing may have to do with file formats, or file sizes that are being sent to the device. Try having the user send another MMS of the supported file (types listed above) and decreasing the size of the file to meet the ranges (listed above). I may also advise the user to send a MMS message to another VZW subscriber (if possible). This will help determine whether or not it is a file/size issue, or a carrier issue. 
    I hope this helps.

  • Can't send Text messages to Android phones or receive text from any websites

    I cant send text message to android phone or even to my gmail account from iphone 4s. I have disabled iMessage and rebooted the phone. I have also reset my apple password with no luck. This is a corporate phone.

    Hi LASalem,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that your iPhone is not sending/receiving messages to certain devices the way your would expect. To begin the troubleshooting process, I suggest working through the troubleshooting information in the attached article.

  • I can't make or receive calls in my iPhone 5(just bought second hand and unlocked), but I am able to use 3G network. If I use the same SIM card in other phone it works fine. I have tried network resetting and restore.

    I bought this cheap from an unknown persons. I have checked it is not in blacklist. And unlocked by apple.

    Those are all carrier features, so contact your cell phone provider.
