Cannot send pictures through text.

My phone carrier is Verizon, and for some reason anytime I send photos to my friends as a text message, it never sends. I know it's not my friend's fault because they also have an iphone and they can send photos through text messages. I have the "MMS messaging" option on and "Send as SMS" option on and still wont send. Is it just my phone or is it because of Verizon?

It's almost certainly because of Verizon. Your plan may well charge more to allow MMS. Check with them and make sure you plan allows MMS.

Why am I having trouble sending pictures through text message?

Why am I unable to send a picture through text message? I have an iphone 4s. This never happened with my iphone4. I am about to switch and give my preteen my upgrade and take my old phone back. This was a waste of money. This is with both people who have Iphones and people who don't. (IM and regular text). I can randomly get one to go through, but it usually gets to about 90% and freezes. I can usually upload photos to Facebook. This is such an elementary function for a phone!!!!

1. you should contact your phone carrier as they handle all messaging.
2. Are you provisioned by your carrier for MMS?
3. if you are have you gone into settings to make sure that MMS is turned on.

I had this issue and resolved it with a hard reset. Holding sleep button and home button at same time until phone reboots.

My send picture through text option is gone??

I would say about 3 weeks ago I got into my pictures, clicked on one and pressed my little blackberry button selected send and the option of "text" was available in a mini drop down. It is gone!!! I have email, facebook and bluetooth option. I have been doing EVERYTHING to get the text option back with no luck. I cannot recieve picture messeges either when i could just a few weeks ago. Any suggestions??

Either your drive is badly corrupted or has died. Try:
Install or Reinstall Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
      left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
      the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
      the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.

Cannot send pictures via text message since software update...HELP!!!!

Although I am a BIG FAN of BB Torch (have had several), BUT since it was discontinued, I had no choice but to "up grade" to BB Z10...IT was working just fine...NOT as good as the Torch though, but I was getting use to it...TILL the new software came along last week (Tuesday), so after doing just that, up dating my phone, I saw that I was NOT able to send or receive pictures via text message. I did called ATT, deleted everything, resintalled my data/information...and STILL nothing.
I "google" the problem, and was sooooo SAD to find out that I was NOT the only one, and that THIS problem is AN OLD ONE (2013), but BB has done nothing to fix it.
I did read on of the technical support answers and followed every single step, but STILL NOTHING, NADA...no able to send neither receive pictures...PLEASE, PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!

Well, interesting... glad it worked out.

Iphone5 cannot send Pictures with Texts?

Have had my iphone5 for 3 months, have tried to send Pictures with my Texts, but failed. No problem sending pictures with e.mails or Facebook?

If MMS is turned on in settings, & you can send/receive SMS's, 99.9% of the time, the problem rests with your carrier, not your phone. Contact your carrier & insure that MMS is properly provisioned on your account. If they tell you everything looks OK, have them re-provision MMS on your account.

Cannot send pictures through Messages (OS X)

Hi,
I have a new macbook pro and OS X.
I used to send pictures and messages to my friends iphone with Messages from my Macbook.
I just tried this again and while I can send messages succesfully, I cannot send any pictures. I get the error "0742xxx cannot accept file transfers".
It did use to work just fine, I have no idea why it doesnt anymore.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Many thanks

HI,
If the 0742xxxx is a partial phone Number it may pay to list it in your Contacts Address Card as an International number.
If it works on an iPhone as the Phone number for them it is obviously local to your country and you probably need to add the Country Code.

Cannot send pictures by text.

Ok so i upgraded to iso 6. My iphone 4 will not let me sen or receive messages with pictures by text. It use to before all the upgrades. Im on month to month now. So im not on a plan i pay as i go. What do i need to do to get back my picture text ability?

If your cellular carrier allows it, go to Settings > Messages > MMS Messaging and set it "On".

Sending pictures through text and recording videos with the Iphone

so yea i know its not out and idk if apple is working on it but i think it would be really cool. I'm 14 years old and i own an iphone and its like i could do more with my lame verizon phone. another thing is u cant record videos... all the money they are putting into the iphone and it can't even do some of the standard camera phone abilities. i'm just suggesting so don't think i'm like ranting about how the iphone ***** because its really cool i love it! not everybody has an iphone so not everybody's email is going to there phone and some times there are pictures id really like to send to my friends like the other day i was riding my bike listening to music and it started pouring then it let up and i saw a rainbow so i pulled out my iPhone and i took pictures and i really wanted to send them to a friend but there email doesn't go directly to there phone.
and off topic what would be really sweet would is wireless head phones lol like ugh the wires always getting in my way and id really like to just listen to music in school hehe. not like the phone thingy but and actual ear bud thingy like the white apple headphones but cut the wire off and it just sends the audio wirelessly to the head phones

Cannot send pictures through PSE 10 email system

Photoshop Elements 10, Windows 7
I've looked through many support question/answer sessions trying to figure this out.
Still receiving message "error trying to save message to outbox".
I don't have Microsoft Outbox or a Live account.
I do have a gmail.
Went through the verification procedure and received and sucessfully entered the verification code.
After clickind "Send", I am still receiving the message "error trying to save message to outbox"
Why is it trying to save anything to outbox?
Under Preferences > Sharing > Email Settings > Email Client... It shows Adobe Email Service
I haven't used this service for a while. It use to work fine with my AOL account listed in "email settings".
When it didn't work today, I switched my email address to my gmail email address, went through the verification procedure, etc.

Sending picture through text that goes to Apple Id email address

Deactivate iMessage on your phone, then reactivate it.

Why can I not send pictures thru text to non apple phone users?

Since the IOS6.0.1 update to my iPhone 4 I can no longer send pictures through texting to friends and family who do not have iPhones. I have been to an apple store in hopes they could fix this problem and they can not.

Both of those are carrier features, contact your cell phone provider and ask them why.

How can i send a picture through text?

Does anyone knows how to send a picture through text message?

I came across this a while back and thought it was a good read
There are some interesting challenges with MMS that do not exist with SMS:
Content adaptation: Multimedia content created by one brand of MMS phone may not be entirely compatible with the capabilities of the recipients' MMS phone. In the MMS architecture, the recipient MMSC is responsible for providing for content adaptation (e.g., image resizing, audio codec transcoding, etc.), if this feature is enabled by the mobile network operator. When content adaptation is supported by a network operator, its MMS subscribers enjoy compatibility with a larger network of MMS users than would otherwise be available.
Distribution lists: Current MMS specifications do not include distribution lists nor methods by which large numbers of recipients can be conveniently addressed, particularly by content providers, called Value Added Service Providers (VASPs) in 3GPP. Since most SMSC vendors have adopted FTP as an ad-hoc method by which large distribution lists are transferred to the SMSC prior to being used in a bulk-messaging SMS submission, it is expected that MMSC vendors will also adopt FTP.
Bulk messaging: The flow of peer-to-peer MMS messaging involves several over-the-air transactions that become inefficient when MMS is used to send messages to large numbers of subscribers, as is typically the case for VASPs. For example, when one MMS message is submitted to a very large number of recipients, it is possible to receive a delivery report and read-reply report for each and every recipient. Future MMS specification work is likely to optimize and reduce the transactional overhead for the bulk-messaging case.
Handset Configuration: Unlike SMS, MMS requires a number of handset parameters to be set. Poor handset configuration is often blamed as the first point of failure for many users. Service settings are sometimes preconfigured on the handset, but mobile operators are now looking at new device management technologies as a means of delivering the necessary settings for data services (MMS, WAP, etc.) via over-the-air programming (OTA).
WAP Push: Few mobile network operators offer direct connectivity to their MMSCs for content providers. This has resulted in many content providers using WAP push as the only method available to deliver 'rich content' to mobile handsets. WAP push enables 'rich content' to be delivered to a handset by specifying the URL (via binary SMS) of a pre-compiled MMS, hosted on a content provider's web server. A downside of WAP push is that from a billing perspective this content is typically billed at data rates rather than as an MMS. These charges can be significant and result in 'bill shock' for consumers.
Although the standard does not specify a maximum size for a message, 300 kB is the current recommended size used by networks due to some limitations on the WAP gateway side.
