Can't send photo text messages

My iPhone 4S has suddenly stopped sending photo text messages. I get a message failure everytime unless it is sent through imessage. I tried moving the SIM card to my daughter's 4S and it did the same thing. Kicker is, after putting the original SIM card back into my daughter's 4S her's has the same problem. Is it the phone or card? Is there an easy fix?

MMS is a carrier feature, talk to them about it.

Can't send photo text from iphone 4s to non iPhone

I have a 4s iPhone but can't send photo text message to husband who doesn't have iPhone. Can send to people with iphone though. Need some help...

I've been having problems with texting pictures since I updated to iOS 7 too but have yet to find a solution that actually works. I have also tried to reset my phone numerours times, have MMS turned on, etc. It doesn't matter if I'm trying to send the picture to another Apple user or not.
It usually takes about 3 or 4 tries to get the picture to go through, but in many cases I have to turn my phone off then back on for it to work.
PS - I am in Canada & my service provider is Bell. However I don't believe it is a Bell issue as I didn't have any problems until AFTER the update. Had hoped the latest update this week would've fixed it but if anything it seems worse.

HT4061 I recently switched from my iphone to a samsung Galaxy S4, trading in my iphone. I now can not send/receive text messages from any iphones to my galaxy S4. Since I traded the iphone in, I can't access it to make any changes. Any ideas?

If I have cellular capabilities turned on, can I send a text message to any type of cell phone thu iMessage?

If I have cellular capabilities turned on, can I send a text message to any type of cell phone using iMessage? Or do I need a app such as Text Plus to do this. I have a New iPad. Thanks for any info.

iMessagel is basically an online chat kinda service. It does not use a carrier service to send text message. It only does instant messages. At least on the iPad side. iPhones are given to choise of sending via iMessage and text depending on the receiver.

I can't send a text message with this new iPad 3

I cannot send a text to a friend with an older iPhone. I tried turning iMessage off but it keeps prompting me to log in instead of sending the text via SMS with my cellular plan. Any suggestions?

So you did not read about iMessage before you bought the iPad? If you did, you would know that you can only text other iOS 5 users.
http://www.apple.com/ios/features.html#imessage says:
iMessage
iPad and iPod touch join the conversation.
With iMessage, we’ve created a new messaging service for all iOS 5 users. You can send unlimited text messages via Wi-Fi or 3G from your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch to anyone with one of those devices. iMessage is built into the Messages app, so you can send text, photos, videos, locations, and contacts. Keep everyone in the loop with group messaging. Track your messages with delivery receipts and optional read receipts, see when someone’s typing, and enjoy secure encryption for text messages. Even start a conversation on one of your iOS devices and pick up where you left off on another.

Can't send photo stream messages on whatsapp

Hi,
I can't send 'photo stream' photos on whatsapp however I'm able to send ones from the 'Camera Roll' I've double checked everything and in privacy and restrictions everything seems normal.
I've recently updated to the latest iOS.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Lewis

Hi,
I also contacted whatsapp directly in regards to this, seems like it's an APP issue from the response I got..
Hi,
Thanks for your message.
Sorry for the delay! We have received many emails recently, and we do our best to answer them all. Thank you for your patience.
We are very sorry you are experiencing this issue. We are working on a fix for this, and it will be fixed in a future version. We are looking to get this version out as quickly as possible, but we cannot speak for exact timelines. Thanks for your patience.
In the meantime, please try to delete and reinstall WhatsApp. Alternatively, you can turn on your iCloud Photo Library in iPhone Settings > iCloud > Photos.
Cheers!

Why can I send a text message from my iPad mini from my contacts?

I try to send a text message from my contact list on my ipad mini ,
the contact name comes up in pink.....Can you tell me why?

Hi,
Because you are choosing an Contact ID (iPhone Number or Apple ID) that is either not registered or currently unavailable.
A iPhone away from WiFi connection may also be out of range of it's Cell/mobile Service. (Or Switched Off or in Airplane Mode).
An iPad may not be on a Wifi Network at present. (or run out of Power)
You may know a Buddy's email and it may also be an Apple ID but that does not mens that they have "registered" it for iMessages.

Can not send SMS text message.

Hi, I'm a BlackBerry user for 4 years now and this is the first time that I have a problem with SMS text messaging. My precious BB is a Q10.
The problem is that I can receive SMS messages but I can not answer and I can not send messages. When I tap the 'send' icon or press Enter nothing happens. My message dissapears and i can not see in the upper window, below the message that I've previously receive and I wanted to aswer for.
Also, I can compose SMS message, but when I press Enter or tap send, nothing happens. No message in the hub, or in the text messages folder.
I've rebooted the device, reloaded the OS, but didn't help.

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 (step 1 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
2) Reboot
Pre-BB10 Devices ONLY. 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.
BB10 Devices. Hold the top button down until the counter reaches zero. Wait for the device to be fully shut down (e.g., nothing at all displayed on the screen, no LED lights, etc.). Hold the top button until the red LED is lit. Wait through the full boot-up process. IF this fails, you can attempt the battery-pull method above, but it is normally NOT recommended unless nothing else works.
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 contact your mobile service provider for formal support.
Good luck!

Can I send a text message to a group in iCloud?

I have groups set up in iCloud contacts but I can't figure out how to use them effectively. For example I have a group of boys on a sports team in a group but I can't select the group as a whole to send them a text message, I have to add them
individually then go back to that string. Am I making this to hard? What's is the use of having groups if you can't use them?

There are apps that allow you to address sms messages to groups (such as Speed Names: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/speed-names-contacts-groups/id285124918?mt=8), but not iMessages. Perhaps this will change with a future iOS update.
The only point of having them at the moment is to allow you to limit the view to only contacts belonging to a group, so that you can more easily add the individual members of the group. But at the present time, you still have to add them individually.

I can't send a text message from my new iPhone 5 ??

what the merucal to send text message

Hi Friend,
Which kind of message you can't send? Is iMessage?
Be sure you do not turn on Restrictions in your device.
For Messages:
Turn off Show Subject in Settings>>Message
Reset the Network Setting, which makes your phone to forget every networks and passwords that you connected your phone to.
to reset the Network Settings just go to Settings - General - Reset (at the bottom) - Reset Network Settings.
I remember when I reset the Network Settings, i turned off iMessages. I connected to my home Wi-Fi and surfed the web for a little while. Sent some regular SMS messages, and about 10min later, I turned on iMessages again and sent a text to a friend with an iPhone and it started working as iMessage! Baloons finally became blue.
For iMessages:
Try to unsign and sign in again.
For iMessage chosse to use your Apple ID instead of your mobile number.
Go to Settings>>Message>>Send&Receive and check if your Apple ID was set or not. If not, set it properly.
If it is still not working, unsign your Apple ID and select your mobile number ("+" "country code" "mobile number").
Hope it will be helpful

I blocked a number then unblocked it and now I can't send them text messages but I can call them. What's wrong?

I blocked a friends number when we fought but now were friends and I unblocked. Why can I still not text him?

Hi Felicia913,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Try these steps first if you are not able to send text messages to a specific contact:
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and re-create the contact from the Contacts application. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
You can find these steps here:

If i reset my iPhone 4 wi it erase all my contacts? How can i send photos via messaging?

I have bought an iPhone 4 from a friend of mine and I can't send text with photos like I want to. I also try to download app's and games but t tells me I need to download ios updates but it won't allow me. Help I love my new phone but can't download anything.

A reset has no affect on data.
A restore from backup will put the device in the exact same state it was in when the backup was created.
A restore as new will put the device in a fresh, out of the box state.
Read the User's Guide to learn how to use the device then if you still have questions, you'll be able to clearly communicate what those problems are.
FYI, SMS and MMS are carrier features, contact the carrier to troubleshoot.

Full Service but can't send/recieve text message or make/receive call

I've got full service, but I cannot make or receive calls/texts. I'm in the same location that i've been able to do so since I got the phone. Help?

I have had this same exact problem. Internet access is fine over 3G or wireless but I am unable to make phone calls or send text messages.
I have tried both removing the battery for 30 seconds while the phone is on and restarting the device and *228, with both option 1 and 2 and none of these fixes have worked.
