Why can't I send picture messages and group messages with MMS?

Picture messages fail to certain people with invalid destination address. Then the group messages won't send unless I send them as individual texts. Very frustrating.

I am having this same issue! I got my S3 in December & it has worked fine until about a month and half ago. . .around the time of latest software update! I can not send MMMS messages (group texts, pics, videos). It doesn't matter if I am on wi-fi, 3g, 4g LTE. It does not send!!! And I am getting ******. Help Verizon!!

I cannot send or receive group text messages as well as pictures messages / MMS. What should I do? The settings on Messages was set to receive group texts but it does not solve the problem.

I cannot send or receive group text messages and picture messages / MMS. The settings on Messages are already set to receive group texts but it does not help. What should I do?

Wow, 1yerdua. That's far too long to be having this messaging trouble. We want to find the resolution fast! If you turn off your Lumia's WiFi (Menu > Settings > WiFi), are you still able to access data-oriented applications like Internet Explorer? Have you been to other areas of the state/country and experienced the same trouble?

Groups messages/picture messages not working

I have the Droid Maxx and whenever I try to send a group message, it sometimes take hours for people to receive it. Instead of having a time stamp of when the text was delivered, it just says "Sending..."
I have tried turning the Group Messaging feature both on and off and I still have the same problem.
I also seem to have trouble with sending and receiving picture messages. I will get a notification saying that my message limit has been reached even though I have set my limit to 150 per conversation.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated as I frequently need to send/receive pictures and group messages. Thanks!

Well have you Tried, like clearing the cache or Tried Factory Resetting the phone usually it's best when you move to one OS to another to clear the cache once or twice and if that don't fix the issue then Factory Reset the Device.. If I'm updating I'll F.R. the phone before or after Taking the new update..

Why are my group text messages being sent as pictures

My group text messages are being sent as pictures or images and I don't know why. It just started happening, I've sent them before without to the same people without this happening. I can sent text messages to each person individualy and they are delivered as text. Is there some setting I can change?

HI. I had the same thing the other day. I sent a link to 40 people and got charged for 40 picture messages. I phoned my network provider and they said it is an apple fault (iphone).
If you send a group 'Text' to more than 6 people, the iphone somehow marks it as a MMS or picture message. I get free texts and was shocked to be charged, but they did look into my messages and could see it was not an image and refunded me.
If they are right, its an apple problem. Can anyone shed sme light on this?

HT1688 I cannot text picture messages or group texts

I cannot text picture messages or group texts

This won't exactly be helpful, but my friend was having that problem too. After about a week she started receiving them again, out of the blue. I'm not quite sure what the problem is that's causing this, because she did absolutely nothing to solve it and it stopped and started to work all on its one :/

Lumina 710 cant send group sms or picture messages...

hey all, anyone know why i cant send picture messages or group sms with the 710?
i am with TPG they said its because of the apn settings, i have set them and it didnt work...

Try to switch the Flight Mode on and back off. Also, if phone is connected to WiFi when attempting to send a picture message of group SMS, this may also affect the connection so turn it off then try to send an MMS or group SMS. If these did not help, try below possible solution.
Turn off the Group Text feature in the Messaging app.
On the Start screen, tap on Messaging tile.
Then tap the three dots (...) in the lower right hand corner of the screen.
Open Settings.
Slide Group Text to off.
The Group Text feature attempts to keep the messages in one chat thread by using MMS, when this feature is off, your messages to a multiple people are included in a separate threads.
Failure of this feature to work though means your MMS settings are not correct. Either contacts your carrier up for the correct settings for your phone or go to the Store, and download and install the Network Setup application which can be found in the Nokia Collection.

I can't send picture messages or group messages to people without an iPhone.

I am unable to send pictures or group messages to my contacts that aren't iPhone users. Seems like this started happening since the last update. Very frustrated.

Hi there krd2687!
Sharing your precious memories is absolutely important and I'm so sorry for the concerns you're having. I appreciate all of the steps you've already completed so far. I took a deep dive in to the Razr Maxx HD and didn't find any reported concerns such as this.
To clarify, are you able to send picture messages to individuals or does it only fail when you try to send the same picture to multiple people at the same time? Are you able to send text messages?
Do you happen to have a picture/video(multimedia) message block on your line? See here: http://vz.to/1cxwDLV on how to edit or change service blocks.
Keep me posted!
Thanks!

My iphone 5s wont send/recieve a picture message or group text with a non iphone included

Contact your carrier and make sure that your account is properly configured for MMS.

Picture Messages not displaying in threads

I have started to experience a new issue with my iPhone 5 this week. There have been several instances where I have sent a picture message to someone, after I send the photo, i go back to the messaging thread a few moments later and it doesn't show the picture(s)... It's as if I never sent the photo. I have asked my friend(s) if they got the photos i sent, but they said no, so I have to send a 2nd time. How do I fix this?

Hello erin_beth09,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post it sounds like you're having issues sending a picture message, also known as MMS. To resolve the issue, please follow the steps below:
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.

I have an iphone 3gs and i cant get it to send picture messages to anyone without an iphone? i already checked to make sure my sms setting is on and it is.

I just bought a used iphone 3gs, (very new to the smart phone thing), and i set the phone up as a straight talk phone. I can send picture messages to other iphones but not to anyone else? I already made sure that my sms setting is on and it is, so is my imessage , mms and group message. anyone with any advise would be greatly appreciated

More than likely the problem is with the provider. You will need to check with them to find out what settings need to be on the phone to support MMS. You need to contact Straight Talk. SMS and MMS are carrier functions. The only settings on the phone are the ones you have mentioned, with the exception of APN settings, which are generally taken care of by the phone's carrier settings. I'm not aware of a carrier file for Straight Talk.

Razr M Picture messages failing

This is a problem i've been having since i got this phone, but as i found a workaround i lived with it for a while, bet enough is enough.
Whenever i send a picture message to someone after a few seconds the message pops up as "failed". to get the picture to send, i have to delete any existing conversation with the recipient(s) and then resend a brand new message with the picture and it works no problem, this however does become an issue on ongoing group messages or if there is info in the conversation that is important that i need to keep.
any ideas as to what can be causing these messages to fail? I have reset my phone, but the problem was still there. any ideas or help would be appreciated!

wouldn't the messages just stay in the network until the receiver was able to get the messages? I've sent many messages to people who had their phones powered off and never had them returned, they just get the message when the turn them back on.
The system tries to resend the message for a few days after you original sent the message if the phones are turned off. I was referring to a bad signal area where there is a signal, but it isn't very strong.

Why can't I receive group text messages?

Do I really have to have my LTE/3G data enabled in order to send/receive group text messages???? YES.
If so, that's a complete waste of my data package as far as I'm concerned. ... I'm not sure why I can't send/receive group text messages as plain texts????
Group messages are considered MMS, not SMS. MMS is transmitted over the cellular (data) network. It does NOT use your data plan, it uses your texting allowance. But data DOES need to be enabled to send and receive group and picture texts.

Why are my group text messages sent as mms?

Please can someone help, I am on a plan with orange unlimited text. This is ideal for me when using my iphone as in often have to send a group message to 40+ people due to nature of my volunteer work. I am receiving larger bills from orange detail g charges under 'other ' when I called orange they responded by saying that on an iphone if I wish to send a group message the iphone can only send the message as a picture message as its to a group of people. Surely Apple have the technology to send a group text message! That's why I have an unlimited plan?? Please help as my volunteer work is costing me a small fortune!!!
