Experiencing issues sending/receiving MMS messages after updating to iOS 6

I, like so many others, have been experiencing problems sending/receiving MMS messages after updating to iOS 6.  Other than that, I really do like the new update.  I have an iPhone 4S with Verizon.  I have been to Verizon, and the issue is not with my plan; it is definitely with the update.  My friend updated her phone also, but her phone is just the iPhone 4.  She does not experience these issues.  Is Apple aware and trying to fix the problem?  It is soooo frustrating!  I cannot send/receive picture messages, nor can I send/receive group messages.  ---  Has anyone come up with a solution to fix it yet, or is it something that Apple will have to do? 
Thanks in advance. 

I also am having the same problem. I can't send a pic to anyone who doesn't have iMessage. Also, I don't always get the alert when I have a new message. I never had this problem before I updated to IOS 6. I have AT&T & an iphone4. It's isn't jail broken. I've been reading forums for a couple weeks now and apparently it has something to do with the apn. And I don't know how or even if I can change it. Then I also read it might have something to do with a damaged SIM card. And it might have been damaged when we updated. But those are just theories.

  • IPhone 5c - can't receive group messages after updating to IOS 8.0.2

    I have an IPhone 5c and I updated to the IOS 8.0.2 yesterday afternoon and now I can't receive group messages. I have rebooted my phone and reset my network settings along with turning IMessage off & on, turning group messaging off & on.
    Does anyone know of a fix for this?

    Ok.  Just got off the phone with Applecare.  We finally figured out what my problem was.  Before iCloud, I had a .mac account.  So, my phone had two email accounts, 1. iCloud 2. mac.com accounts.  Applecare had me delete completely both accounts from my phone, leaving no mail accounts at all.  Then I added a new iCloud account.  Put in my email address and password, then everything worked from there.  Sounds simple.  Good luck to the rest of you.  Hope it's the same fix.  And a big "thank you" to Xavier at Applecare.

  • Unable to send or receive text messages after updating iOS to 7.0.2

    I am unable to send or receive text messages aftering updating to iOS 7.02. I have an iPhone 4S. I have run all the suggested troubleshooting still can't text. I have been to my carrier, AT&T, there is no issue with my account. AT&T suggested resetting the phone to factory defaults (thereby wiping it clean). I am trying to avoid that as I had issues with transferring data & contacts before. Any one have a work around?

    Try this iMessage workaround
    Look for a fix by Apple by the end of the week.....

    Hello HaithamOkeely,
    We've an article that provides the following troubleshooting steps that may help stabilize your iPhone.
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
    If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
    Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.

  • I cannot search through messages after updating to IOS 6.1.2

    After updating to IOS 6.1.2 i cannot search for messages

    Hello jrobbertse,
    I use the search feature in Messages often, and I would be concerned if it wasn't working as well.  I found some steps you can take to help resolve this issue:
    Frozen or unresponsive iPhone
    http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/phone
    The article is for a frozen and unresponsive iPhone, so the step to recharge the iPhone is not relevant to you.  All the other steps in the article would apply to your situation though.  Before you go through the step to "Restore iPhone," you should definitely back up the contents of your iPhone:

  • I cant send or receive photo messages after update i0s 6

  • Phone no longer can send / receive picture messages after "support" call

    Hoping someone can help.
    A few weeks ago my phone was having intermittent problems sending picture messages (text are fine). I would sometimes have to retry several times for it to go through, but I could always get it to go through. I have a LG VX9400, btw.
    Since it did not resolve itself I decided to place a support call. During that call the technician did "nothing", but after he had me dial *228 option 1 I can no longer send messages at ALL! I was then told I needed a software upgrade or could not be helped further. Now I've received the software update and it still does not work. It has been escalated to engineering and closed (without contacting me) and has been attributed to my phone, but nobody can tell me how they came to this resolution.
    I have had this problem in the past where it's been on the Verizon network the configuration has to be changed (there have even been blocks that I've never put on there), but nobody is willing to dig into this and says I now have to reflash, hard reset my phone or get another one.
    Also note, mobile web even for account management doesn't work (I did have blocks, have since taken them off so not sure if I have to wait). It also seems I am getting a message receipt failed when I turn my phone off and on, again I only noticed this after calling support.
    Any help / suggestions / etc greatly appreciated as I really don't think it's my phone since it was working (albeit intermittent) prior to the "support" I received from Verizon.
    Thanks!!

    @MySlickDeals
    It's very upsetting having picture messaging issues, especially after calling in to technical support and not getting the issue resolved. Let's get this worked on right away.
    Have you tried deleting the old text and picture messages and retrying? Please also remove and reinsert the battery and retest.
    Does this happen everywhere or just one location? After the software upgrade did they hard reset the device?
    Hard reset instructions:
    From the main screen, press Menu.
    Scroll to Settings & Tools.
    Scroll to Phone Settings, press OK.
    Scroll to Security, press OK.
    Enter Lock Code ???? displays,
    enter the 4 digit lock code ( default: last 4 digits of phone number ).
    Scroll to Reset Default, press OK.
    Reset Default - Preference Settings will be set to factory defaults. Press <OK> to continue. displays, press OK.
    Scroll to Revert, press OK
    If you are still experiencing issues after this reset please send me a PM and I will look into your account.
    Thank you

  • Droid Razr M not sending full text messages after updating

    I had an update to my Droid Razr M four days ago.  Since that update, if I send a message that is longer than the allotted characters,  the message is not fully sent.  The person receiving the text only receives the first part of the message.  They have then received the 2nd part of the message the next day, which was combined with a new text that was sent or they do not receive it at all.  My phone restarted automatically after the update, and I manually restarted it two more times.  I have had this phone for 5 months and this is the first automatic update.   Prior to the update, I did not have any issues when messages were longer than the allotted characters.  They were received simultaneously.  After the update, it's hit or miss receiving the all texts if longer than one.   Is anyone else having these similar issues?  Any suggestions on how to correct, besides sending smaller messages??

        Dkronx, thanks for bringing your issue to our attention. I want to make sure that your text messages are working as they should. I'm not showing this as a reported issue. Do you show any errors when this happens, or just find out that the other person didn't receive it? Are you using any SMS apps from the PlayStore? Try clearing cache from your Messaging app. This will not erase data. http://vz.to/ZauvQJ Also, remove the SD card for about 30 seconds.

  • Cant receive text messages after update

    Updated my phone last night and now I can't receive text messages. I can send them but not receiving them. I share my account with my wife and I was receiving her text messages. When I go to iMessage, I can't select my own number. It is grey and not checked, but won't let me check it. I sign out of my account, and sign back in, and it shows the number checked when I sign in, but is not checked in the iMessage settings.

    Hi Aimstaa,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like there is an issue with the way Messages, which are sent from your iPhone, are displayed on another device. It also sounds like your iPhone is configured correctly, so the other device will most likely need to update your contact information or try the troubleshooting suggestions in the article below.

    I hope this helps.

  • Xperia Z1 can not send/receive MMS after Lollipop update

    Xperia Z1 can not send/receive MMS after Lollipop update, is anyone else having this issue. Any ideas on what I can do to restore MMS?

    MMS need a data plan, there are certain carriers/networks that allow MMS to be sent w/o a data plan to their branded/locked phones, you will have to contact your carrier/network regarding this.
    Is your phone braded or was it branded? did you flashed lollipop ?
