Cannot Send Message: MMS Messaging needs to be enabled to send an email address

ERROR: iPhone 5 "Cannot Send Message: MMS Messaging needs to be enabled to send to an email address."
DESCRIPTION: When attempting to use my new iPhone 5 (unlocked on T-Mobile) to text to a new iPod email address (on a home WiFi to a Hotmail account), I get the above error message.  I am able to send and receive text messages (SMS) to mobile phone numbers.  I have iMessage enabled and am using iOS 6.0.2.  What is the fix?  Thanks.
REQUEST:  Apple please produce an iPhone with a five inch screen in order to compete successfully with Samsung.

  • Verizon Email Problem, cannot send to email address with new gTLD

    I found out that Verizon Email system does not allow me to send any emails to those new domains with more than 3 characters in their last portion. e.g. [email protected] 
    How to report this problem?

    1. I've never seen that happen. Could you copy the error you're getting? I'd like to try to duplicate it for my own edification.
    2. You report it by contacting Verizon tech support. There are options on their Contact Us page in the footer.

  • Cannot send message mms messaging needs to be enabled to send this message

    OK - This means you cannot disable MMS and send SMS messages? Rather a step back from my Nokia N70 I think

    @Dmitriy Buldakov, have you found the solution to the issue yet? I have the same problem, no option to turn on MMS in my iPhone settings. I checked the settings on my friend's iPhone, which has the same iOS version as me (8.1.1), and the option is there. It's really annoying...

  • When I send a text message it shows up as coming from my email address not my phone, can i change this

    when I send a text message it shows up as coming from my email address not my phone, can i change this

    another way to change it is :
    go to settings -> phone -> my number (iput your phone number)
    and then do what razmee209 said,
    after you change it, your phone number will authenticate with the operator that you use,
    I hope this could help you,

  • I just got an Iphone and I can't email from it.  I received an email that said I needed to verify my email but when I did the message I got was: invalid account for this email address.  I don't understand.  Thoughts?

    If a phone is sold from one friend to another and wants to use it on a different carrier the friend can contact the carrier it was sold by to request it unlocked.  I know AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint will give you the steps to unlock it as long as the original contract it was bought under has been completed.  eBay/Craigslist is really not the best place to try to get "unlocked phones" from, if it turns out the phone isn't unlocked then I'm really sorry you got stuck with that one and as stevejobsfan said above I would report them immediately and see if you can recover your money.  I sell phones for a living and this happens a lot

  • Cannot send an email from my alias Mobile Me account from the iPhone.

    I have a Mobile Me email account which works perfectly on my Mac and iPhone. I created a an Alias Mobile Me Account on the web.
    I am able to create a new email from the alias account on the Mac.
    The iPhone will not recognize the alias account, I cannot add it or sync the account.
    I cannot send an email from my alias Mobile Me account from the iPhone.

    To all frustrated MobileMe alias owners who want to send email from iPhone - please go to the feedback area of the apple.com and leave messages regarding this issue. I had a lengthy conversation with a tech support guy who agreed that this is a needed fix - he said to initiate a grass roots effort - and that by all of us leaving messages it will eventually get attention and fixed. Why would Apple give us the ability to create alias's, use them on mobileme website, on our mac mail programs, but NOT the iPhone, which is the MOBILE device. Silly. Please protest!! Thanks.

  • CANNOT SEND ANY EMAILS!!!!

    Hi,
    I finally downloaded the desktop manager last week and backed up my berry (after a year!). At the same time it updated my system to a newer version. Since then, my battery life is greatly diminished (one day only) and I cannot send ANY emails. I can send text messages, but not emails. I select "send" and the email just sits there. I also can't select "save draft". I can only select "delete", but then it warns me that I haven't saved (which is so annyoing, since I can't save!!) Help!!!!!

    Do a simple reboot on the BlackBerry in this manner:
    With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery to reboot. A reboot in this manner is prescirbed for most gltiches and operating system errors, and you will lose no data on the device doing this.
    Now try sending an email again. If still no lunck:
    On your BlackBerry device, go to:
    1. Options > Advanced > Host Routing Table > Menu > Register.
    2. Resend your service books from your carrier BIS site:
    From your handheld device:   http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB15402
    Go to the Personal Email Set Up icon and log in. Then under Help!, select Service Books, then select Send service Books.
    From your desktop PC:  http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB02830
    North American Carriers - scroll down to select your carrier
    WorldWide Carriers - Find your carrier on the list
    3. With the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot. This reboot, even if you have already done this, is often needed to install the service books.

  • Since upgraded phone to 2.0, cannot send out email

    I recently upgraded my iphone to 2.0 (mistake!) and now cannot send out email from my iphone. I have tried deleting all my email accounts and re-setting it up on my iphone rather than syncing with my computer but it still will not send out email. I can send out email from my computer and used the same settings for both...

    Also having mixed success sending mail on the iPhone, which is disappointing because I haven't had to send a lot of messages. Out of about 6 attempts, I've had two replies completely disappear. They weren't sent, they weren't in the outbox to send later. They just disappeared. One was while on my home network, the other was while I was traveling. I am very bothered that the emails aren't saved to try and send later.

  • I cannot send an email from my iphone

    I have entered all of the information for my in-coming and outgoing server into my iphone 4s.  However, I cannot send an email  and the message reads as follows "The sender address XX.net was rejected by the server.

    Did you check your user name and password in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your email account, tap SMTP, then tap the primary server name.  Make sure the settings there are correct.

  • TS3276 I cannot send any email that has photos. and cannot drag photos to desktop

    I cannot send any email with photos attached.  Also cannot drag photos to desktop. keeps asking for password or email sent is "failed"

    Thanks Larry, I am using the default account that was used by the previous version of iPhoto, I did not change any settings when I installed 11. The program deos not seem to give me an option to use an alternate. When I try to send photos I receive a message that the program does not recognize my username/password as follow; 
    "The email server didn’t recognize your username/password combination."

  • I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great

    I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great!

    The fact that you can receive means you have a valid e mail address, and have established the connection to the incoming server, so all of that works.  Since the send does not work, that means your outgoing server is rejecting whatever settings you used formthe outgoing set up.  Try them again. 
    Google your particular isp, and ipad and many times you will find the exact settings needed for your isp.  Or tell us here, and soneone else may be on the same isp.  Some mail services need you to change a port, or have a unique name for the outgoing server.  
    Kep trying.
