Help MMS text won't send

What does the following mean, when I try to send a MMS text message " Error invalid number. Please resend using a 10 digit mobile number or valid short code."

It means to use a 10 digit phone number, like 8005551212.

TS3406 Help my iphone won't send or receive texts!

I have just purchased a new iphone 5s however it won't send or receive texts?? I can make and receive calls and the internet is working fine, any one got any suggestions how to fix it? Thanks

Are you trying to use actual SMS with non-iOS devices. If so, SMS is a carrier funcation and you would need to contact your carrier. If you are trying to connect to iOS devices, that is an iMessage, and you would need to go to Settings>Messages and see if iMessage is turned on and activated.

My pictures and group texts won't send 80% of the time.

My Iphone 5 has lots of troubles texting photos and sending group texts. I have AT&T and have no idea why this is. My photos usually only send when it's to another iphone and it still has lots of issues sometimes.

I am having the same problem. I have an ipod touch that worked fine up until the 4.0 firmware. The only thing I have noticed with mine that it was glitchy when it came to sending mail (which I use yahoo). Then most recently it stopped sending altogether. My isp is verizon & I have an airport extreme. I noticed today I can bounce off of a neighbors linksys wifi. Now I have no clue who their isp is. It's either verizon or comcast. Regardless I was able to send mail using their internet. Mine on the other hand is a no go.
I too am *extremely frustrated*. I have deleted my mail accts several times in hopes of it fixing the problem. I also updated to the latest firmware of 4.1 in hopes of it resolving the issue. I even tried using other smtp servers with no luck.
I hope someone out here has a solution to this problem. It is very frustrating.

Help re text messages and sending photos

Is there any way to forward a receieved text message, and is it possible to send a taken picture to another mobile phone?
Thanks

It is currently not possible to forward text messages from the iPhone, but as soon as iPhone firmware 3.0 comes out in the summer you will be able to do that.
As far as sending pictures goes, you cannot send a picture via the MMS service, you have to send pictures via email. If you want to send pictures to other people's phones, you have to do the following:
Verizon:
[email protected] (the x's are the 10 digit phone number)
These are the ones I have so far, but I have not tested them all:
Alltel- @message.alltel.com
AT&T- @mms.att.net
Boost Mobile- @myboostmobile.com
Sprint- @messaging.sprintpcs.com
T-Mobile- @tmomail.net
Virgin Mobile- @vmobl.com
Now even though you currently can't send pic messages with the MMS service, Apple's iPhone firmware 3.0 will support MMS, so you won't have to email pictures once it comes out.

Just uploaded my new software and my texts won't send. How do I fix this?

Why won't my texts send after uploading latest software? How do I fix this?

Reset the device by pressing and holding the home and power buttons until the white Apple logo appears.
If the issue persists, try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.

HELP! Iphone won't send messages AT ALL!

I have a iPhone 4 and I it was a hand me down from a relative. She had it for a couple years and now I have had it for about a year. I had the battery replaced once because it was completely dead and drained and caused my iPhone to not work.
I have recently ran into a another problem which just started yesterday. My messages whether its text or imessage will not send. It's actually quite a bit of problems. It will not show that it sent for me it just says "sending..." but a few of them will reach its destination and I'll get a reponse from a friend or family member. But it will still be "Sending..." also if I close the app all my messages will completely disappear
I also if I make a call or someone calls me they can't hear me.
I have done everything possible. I have reset it, reset network settings, have done a complete restore and it still is having the same problem. I have no idea what to do especially since I don't have internet connection at home.
Has this happened to anyone else?

I'm referring to imessage and SMS text. I've never had a problem before with sending without internet connection. I have Verizon and this problem has never happened.
And I'm not sure if this is coming off right but imessage or sms will just say "sending..." it won't say that it sent or even delievered. I can recieve messages from other people but they are delayed and don't come in on time. I tested my phone with a friend who was next to me and sent her a message and she recieved my message but on my phone it still said "sending..."
Any type of message I send says sending... also if I close my message app ALL my messages disappear they just delete and the message app is blank. My phone was working just fine on Jan. 21st but yesterday when I tried to text my boss it wouldn't send but he continued texting me.
At the moment I'm at a friend's connected to wifi and did a restore and the problem is still happening. I can access apps and internet connection is fine over wifi or using my 3G.
Also when I try to answer or make a call I can hear them but they can't hear me.
Whatever the problem is it's only effecting my send/recieve of messages and calls. Whether its over wifi or just 3G

HELP! Entourage won't send outgoing messages

Hi
I have Entourage and Gmail linked together. All my gmails come into Entourage and I've been using Entourage for my emailing for years without problem.
Now it won't let me send any. I've reset it from Google again but no joy. The error message I get is: *The server can't be found. Be sure the mail server information is entered correctly in the Account Manager, and that your DNS settings in the Network Control Panel are correct.*
The information is the same as it always was. The only thing I can find in my DNS settings is a DNS server coupled with a search domain for my old lodger who left over a year ago. It's greyed out and I can't even get at it.
Does any kind soul have a solution to my problem or shall I just throw it out the window and get a new one?
Many many thanks
Weetbix.

Please post questions regarding Entourage on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac products since this forum is for troubleshooting Apple's Mail applicatoin and not related to Microsoft Office

Clicking on link in text won't send me to link destination

Something is blocking me from following a live link in text I receive or access. It won't take me to the page. Says Firefox has blocked it. How do I change this? Thank you.

Settings>General>Restrictions>On>Allowed content. Check to see if you that that set up and if you do, you may have age restricted the app.

Texts won't send

It is taking forever for my phone to send text messages. Usually 20-30 minutes, if not more, to send one simple SMS message. It gives me a "cause code: addr. vcnt., 0" error message when I click on my texts I've sent out. What does this error code mean and why is it taking so long to send messages?

I am running a Droid Razr Maxx HD. I am currently using the default messaging app. I experience this problem every single day in multiple locations. Sometimes it'll send text messages right away, then a few minutes later, it'll change to taking forever to send the messages. It always happens when sending group texts as well, they never send immediately. This has been going on, that I've noticed, since at least the end of August of 2014.

Some of my text won't send

Hello 200213012t,
I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your phone. We certainly want you to be able to utilze all your phones functions completly. Now is this issue with iMessage or text messaging overall? Can you try to reset your network settings by going to settings>general>reset>reset network settings. Also if people are having issues reaching you we may need to look into connection issues with your phone getting service. Have you been able to pinpoint specific times when the issue happens i.e work, home, in car? Please keep us updated on the issue.

Can't MMS text

Just set up my iPhone 5S. I can send iMessages, but SMS and MMS texts that I send are not received. Ideas??

The phone, like all 3GS's sold in the US is carrier locked to AT&T. Contact AT&T to find out if they will unlock it for you.
FYI, StraightTalk is only a supported carrier for iPhones purchased from StraightTalk.

Hey lozza567,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues sending MMS messages. The following resource may provide a solution:
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2755
Issues with sending and receiving 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 are using only Wi-Fi.
- A domestic MMS plan from your cellular provider. You may 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 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 first
1. Go to Settings and turn airplane mode off.
2. Go to Settings > Messages and turn MMS Messaging on.
3. Go to Settings > Cellular and turn Cellular Data on.
4. Go to Settings > Cellular and turn Data Roaming on if you are roaming on a cellular provider network different from your billing provider's network.
5. Verify that you have a cellular data connection in the status bar at the top left of your iPhone.
6. 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.
7. Verify that you can send and receive SMS. If you are unable to send and receive SMS, see the "Issues with sending and receiving SMS" section, above.
8. MMS may not be available while on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn more about which network your phone supports.
9. Restart your iPhone.
10. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
11. Reseat your SIM card.
If you are still unable to send or receive MMS, follow these steps
1. Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
2. Go to Settings > Messages and turn on group messaging if you are sending a group message.
3. Make sure that you are using the area code with the contact's phone number. When sending messages internationally, you also need the contact's international code.
4. Verify a "Pay as you go" MMS plan has enough available balance. Contact your carrier if unsure of your MMS plan or available balance.
5. 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.
6. If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and re-create the contact from the Contacts application. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
7. Back up and restore your iPhone as new.
8. If your carrier has recently ported your phone number, the porting process may not be complete. Contact your carrier to confirm that the porting process is complete.
9. Contact your carrier to verify that you are provisioned to send SMS and are in an area with cellular coverage.
10. Contact your carrier to verify that there are no blocks or filters placed on your wireless account preventing you from sending SMS.
11. Your carrier may require APN settings to be modified to use MMS. Learn more about when you should adjust APN settings.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Iphone 5 - I am trying to delete message threads and once I do, I go to text someone else and it won't send. HELP? I just don't want those messages on my phone anymore.

Iphone 5 - I am trying to delete message threads and once I do, I go to text someone else and it won't send. HELP? I just don't want those messages on my phone anymore. I have tried to restart my phone but when I do, the "deleted" threads show back up on my phone. I use iOS 7.1.

Hello Makayla,
It sounds like you're deleted message threads keep coming back after you restart the devie. I recommend starting by quitting all the running apps on your phone:
iOS: Force an app to close
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
If the issue persists, backup your device to iTunes and then restore it as a new device and verify that it works.
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
If it does, then restore your backup to either verify it still works and the software just needed reinstalled, or isolate the issue to the backup file itself.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling
