Can send iMessage texts but can't send pics

i can have a iMessage conversation (texts) but when I try to send a pic, it says delivery failed w/ a red exclamation next to the pic. If I click on the exclamtion, it gives me the options to: "Re-send", "Send as Text", or to "Cancel". I tried sending the same pic via "Send as Text" and it delivered it. I never had a problem w/ pics and iMessage before, but I just noticed it earlier this week. Any ideas? My device is Verizon iPhone 4S 32GB running iOS 5.0.1. I tried re-setting the device (Turn On/Off) and Toggle 3G (On/Off) but same results.

This is a well-established glitch with iMessage.  I personally do not use iMessage because it has too many delivery problems; I stick to regular SMS and MMS.  Although, I have an unlimited texting plan so iMessage is really useless (for me). When iMessage works it is great....again...when it works.  There is nothing wrong with the phone; it is a problem with the service operated by Apple.

    why can i send imessage texts but not sms texts ?
    When i try to send an sms text ..i get a 'not delivered' message...no error code...imessage works fine...

        Very strange, [email protected] Let's get this figured out. Make sure that SMS messages are turned on. Go to Settings>Messages>Send as SMS. Please let me know if this works.

    However, SMS is a carrier function. You say that iMessage is working, so I would contact the carrier since it is SMS is not working.

    I think your problem is the fact that your friend is not registered through iMessage, just text messages. I would look around and check out how to set up iMessage on iPhones.

  • Added money to account.  Can receive texts but not send them.

    I added money to my daughters prepay account and she can send texts but not receive them.  I have tried sending fresh texts and tried replying back and all I get are "message not  sent" notifications.  We are both on VZW.  She got the verifcation text that the  money went in and that the $20 texting plan was activated.  Please help.

        Hi, Spiniequeen!
    I am sorry to learn the device is not receiving texts! That's a bummer! Was your daughter's phone getting messages before adding money to it? If it had been awhile since funds were added, the features may need to be updated. I suggest contacting our prepaid team at 888-294-6804 for immediate assistance. Keep me posted!
    Thanks,

  • I can receive texts, but cannot send them

    When I try to send a text, I have a new looking screen that shows a "subject" line, I can type a text, but the 'send' button is subdued and will not allow me to send a text. This just happened today. Yesterday, I could send texts, but not MMS. According to ATT, everything is OK on my account and I should have full texting ability.
    Any thoughts?

    you have to type below the grey line under subject. The send wont show till something is typed below the line.

  • Daughter has an iPhone and she can send me a text but when I text her back I get error code 2127

    My daughter has an iPhone and she can send me a text but when I try to text her back I get the error code 2127. Does anyone know what this means? Does this mean my messages to her are being blocked somehow?

    Usually it means you are texting a number which isn't 10 digits in length.  I would recommend that you delete the entry in your Contacts for your daughter, then find the text she sent you and create your new Contact from that. If she is listed in your favorites - delete her from there too, then re-add after a successful hook-up.

  • My iphone 5 for some reason can receive calls, send & receive texts but can not call out

    My iphone 5 for some reason can receive calls, send & receive texts but can not call out

    I am not sure if this issue is going to help you but lets give it a try.
    I know that where im from, which is the Netherlands, I am not able to sent e-mails from my iPhone or any other mobile device by using 3G or a random WIFI acces point. The provider only allowes you to sent e-mails when you are connected to a network of there own. Which means if you have provider "101" and your email settings are set up for this provider in your iPhone but your using the network of a friend of yours which is provider "202" you cannot sent emails from his network. Though you can receive them you may not sent.
    As I said, I am not aware if this issue is the same for you totaly depents on the country and provider your using.

    I have a Nokia N96 and i can recieve texts, but i am unable to send ones, i have signal and everything, i got told to make sure that there is a mobile phone looking number on the messaging center, if there is no one, contact my phone provider, but there is a number, and it still will not send texts. Is the mobile number in the messaging center, my actual phone number??
    Sorry i asked this on you discussion, but its soo confusing .
    The mobile phone looking number is what you call the message center number. Contact your service provider to get the actual one. Then, make sure that you have the same number updated in Messaging -> Options -> Settings -> Text messages -> Msg. centre in use.
    This is not your "actual phone number".
