Failure sending Iphone MMS internationally

I have the Iphone 3G 3.1. I have yet to been able to send MMS messages overseas from the US. (More specifically to the Philippines) I have been on the phone with AT&T and Apple technical support. So far; no luck. I can send and receive MMS fine here in the US. Oddly enough, I can receive MMS from my friends in the Philippines. Again, for some reason, my MMS do not make it through to them even though it shows as being sent from my phone.
Prior to my Iphone, I had the LG Shine through AT&T and I had no problems sending or receiving MMS stateside or overseas.
Is anyone else out there having this problem or even tried to send an MMS internationally? I am attaching a blog from another Iphone user that is apparently having problems trying to send his MMS to the UK.

Is Apple or AT&T blocking outgoing MMS to overseas phones? Is Iphone MMS messaging restricted to only stateside? Can anyone help?

According to this: http://www.wireless.att.com/learn/messaging-internet/messaging/international.jsp
it should work. I don't know why they aren't going through. Sorry I can't offer more help. I would continue working with AT&T customer service until you get a resolution.

  • I have a problem with my iphone 4. My 3G always stays activated but I lose my network signal. The bars all get lost and I'm not able to receive / send sms, mms or phone calls. Could you guys please help me fix this problem? Ios 5.1.1

    I haven't gotten a new sim card because the problem has been presenting itself in various cards not only mine. So far, all I've done is reset my network settings.
    Last night, I turned off the 3G tab and it had all the signal bars. Today, I did the network reset and it's working apparently. But like I said before, previously the bars just disappear and the iphone only has the 3G activated.

  • Why Does the iPhone not send/receive MMS?

    Why Does the iPhone not send/receive MMS? this in the works?

    "Why Does the iPhone not send/receive MMS?"
    Apple chose not to offer this as a feature of iphone. E-mail can accomplish the same thing.
    "is in the works?"
    This has been asked and answered countless times. The forum search bar is on the right side of this page.
    Apple has announced that MMS will be included in the 3.0 software due out this summer. Before you ask, all that has been announced is in this link:
    http://www.apple.com/iphone/preview-iphone-os/
    Apples developer conference begins tomorrow.

  • IMessage - now cant send other mms'

    Hi, I recently installed ios 8.1 for the iphone 5s, now the phone wont let me send a mms/text, it has to be on iMessage (which most of the time comes up as 'not delivered' anyhow).  I don't want to use iMessage. I've turned it off under settings but to no avail.  If I try to send an mms with iMeessage turned off, it says 'turn on iMessage. 'MMS Messaging' is switched on, within settings.  Any thoughts gratefully received.

    Hey there Meatball II
    If you still not able to send an MMS message, use that section of the following article to help resolve the issue, named:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages - Apple Support
    If you can't send and receive MMS
    You will need these to send and receive MMS:
    An iPhone 3G or later
    iOS 3.1 or later
    A cellular data connection (MMS isn't available if you're using only Wi-Fi)
    A domestic MMS plan from your cellular provider. You might need an international messaging plan to send MMS to an international contact (Contact your carrier for more information.)
    A roaming MMS when using a cellular provider's network that is different from your billing cellular provider's network (Learn more about roaming and contact your carrier for more information.)
    To resolve issues with sending and receiving MMS, follow these steps
    Go to Settings and turn airplane mode off.
    Go to Settings > Messages and turn MMS Messaging on.
    Go to Settings > Cellular and turn Cellular Data on.
    Go to Settings > Cellular and turn Data Roaming on if you're roaming on a cellular provider network that is different from your billing provider's network.
    Make sure that you have a cellular data connection in the status bar of your iPhone.
    Go to Settings and turn Wi-Fi off. Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify that you have a data connection. Turn Wi-Fi back on to continue using Wi-Fi for other features. If your cellular data connection isn't available, follow these steps.
    Make sure that you can send and receive SMS. If you can't send and receive SMS, see the "Issues with sending and receiving SMS" section, above. MMS might not be available while you're on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn more about which network your phone supports.
    Restart your iPhone.
    Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
    Remove your SIM card and insert it again.
    If you still can't send or receive MMS, follow these steps
    Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
    Go to Settings > Messages and turn on group messaging if you're sending a group message.
    Make sure that you're using the area code with the contact's phone number. When you send messages internationally, you also need the contact's international code.
    If you're using a "Pay as you go" MMS plan, make sure it has enough available balance. If you're unsure of your MMS plan or available balance, contact your carrier.
    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 recreate the contact from the Contacts app. Send a new message to the new contact.
    Back up and restore your iPhone as new.
    If your carrier has recently ported your phone number, the porting process might not be complete. Contact your carrier to confirm that the porting process is complete.
    Contact your carrier to verify that you're provisioned to send SMS and are in an area with cellular coverage.
    Contact your carrier to verify that there aren't blocks or filters on your wireless account preventing you from sending SMS.
    Your carrier might require modified APN settings to use MMS.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • 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.

  • I am trying to send mass MMS with an image

    Does anyone know of a way or an App that will allow me to send mass MMS with images and allow me to create groups. For Iphone 4s.
    I have over 2000 contacts, and i can't seem to find an App for group messaging capable of adding images.
    Any help is greatly appreciate it.

    Use a utility such as Graphic Converter to  change the image to a jpeg using options to reduce the size of the converted image.

  • IPhone MMS

    I have found out that you can send a picture message to another ATT customer or IPhone. Pick a Picture from photo library then choose email photo in email address send it to "[email protected]
    works fine
    IPhone   Other OS  

    Does that work if someone sends an MMS to you? And even for sending, it's not exactly "Apple Easy" -- how many of your contacts do you know the carrier for?
    I absolutely love using my iPhone for the most part, but MMS and real Exchange ActiveSync support are features that most other smartphones that sell for half the price offer standard, and I miss them already.

  • 2g Iphone mms avaliable?

    I recently upgraded to 3.0 and was wondering if the mms would work on the 2g iphone. I have heard rumors that it will not work on the 2g iphone's and only the 3g phones. anyone can help me?

    Whether or not YOU think it should be there or not, it is impossible -- you can NOT send an MMS from the original iPhone. It does not have the radio chip set required. Jailbroken original iPhones that have MMS are NOT using the phone function - it routes it through a 3rd party website, not through the phone.
    ATT and Apple have an agreement which involves money and revenue sharing. They are not going to provide ANY type of free MMS service for original iPHone users.
    MMS requires a 3G or 3GS.

  • How to send data from internal table to the shared folder in ABAP

    Hi experts,
             My requirement is to transfer data from a file to shared folder. i just did reading data from a file to a internal table. Now i want to send this internal table data into a shared folder which is  "
    xxx\y\z....".
    I do not have any idea on how to send data from internal table to the shared folder path.
    can anybody please help me out how to do this?
    Thanks & Regards
    Sireesha.

    Where that folder is located, its on presentation server i.e. desktop or application server.
    If its on presentation server, use FM GUI_UPLOAD.
    If its on application server, then use DATASET functions. Have a look at below link.

  • SSRS Subscription LastStatus "Failure sending mail: Failure sending mail."

    SSRS 2012, SQL 2012 SP2. 
    We have about 50 different daily subscriptions that go out.  In the last month or so, probably over 30% of SSRS subscriptions are getting this error and no e-mail is sent.  I have tested out the reports with the parameters and the reports run just
    fine on demand for both the user and myself.  I'll change the subscription forward for testing, and it will intermittently work or fail even when no traffic is hitting our database so I dont think it's a matter of performance. 
    I see nothing in the error logs, and I see nothing in the logtable 2, or 3 in ssrs as suggested by a few MSDB sites.
    The only spot I can even see this error, is when viewing the subscription. I have done LOTS of searching, and most people get a helpful error after "Failure sending mail" where as I only get 'Failure sending mail: Failure sending mail"

  • SOAP Receiver- Error While Sending Message: 500 Internal Server Error

    Hello,
    Our scenario: IDoc to SOAP
    I have added a third party system in the SLD and have used the same in my ID configuration.
    An idoc will be triggered from R/3, which will received in PI, PI will transform the IDoc into SOAP message for the third party system.
    I have tested the scenario in ID from Interface Determination and its successful.
    But when i try to try to test it from RWB, using Test Message in Adapter Engine, I get an error,
    "Error while sending message:500 Internal server error"
    If we test it using a testing software like SOAP UI, it works fine but from PI we get the error mentioned above.
    Regards,
    Abhishek

    Hello,
    Since the IDOC adapter resides on the ABAP stack, you can use this URL instead (it will be sent to the integration engine as Venkata suggested)
    http://host:port/sap/xi/engine?type=entry
    Also check your firewall settings from PI to the third-party system.
    Hope this helps,

  • " Error while sending message: 500 Internal Server Error" RNIF Adapter

    Hi,
    I have configured B2B integration as   Sender : RNIF adapter &  Receiver: XI Adapter.
    I am  able to test the configuration successfully in ESR and ID. But, whille testing with RWB using same test data, i am getting the following error:
    Error while sending message: 500 Internal Server Errot.
         Could you anybody help me, what could be the reason? Even i am not getting any error messages in SXMB_MONI.
    Thanks
    Laxman

    Hope this helps..
    -Is the 500 internal SErver Error in RWB is only for this issue and the message is successfully processed in SXMB_MONI?
       Could be the PI Service User :PIAFUSER(Adapter framework user) login crendential issue or run out time error.
    Try taking the payload from sxmb_moni and enter  it in RWB > Adater engine> Test Message Tab > give proper sender interface information , enter payload and try sending message.   check what is behaviour
