How can i get my iphone on straight talk to send and receive mms?

I have an iPhone 4 on straight talks network. I have never been able to send or receive mms messages to anyone other than a device with iMessage. How can I get it to work? I dont want to change to a Galaxy or any other kind of phone, but I will if this doesnt get figured out. Straight talk says its an issue with Apple products. Please help!!

Hey Jstugelmeyer,
First, I would go through these three steps:
Restart your device.
Update to the latest iOS Software.
If you are trying to send a message to multiple recipients and you type in each contact manually instead of using the contacts list, make sure you tap return instead of space to separate each one.
Then, if you still can't send or receive MMS messages:
To send and receive MMS messages on your iPhone, verify that your wireless carrier supports MMS2.
Ensure that MMS Messaging is turned on in Settings > Messages.
Verify that your phone is able to access cellular data.
Some carriers allow you to edit your APN (Access Point Name), which may prevent MMS from working.
If you are roaming outside your calling area, make sure you have Data Roaming turned on in Settings > General > Cellular to send or receive MMS content.
While on a phone call, you will be unable to send or receive MMS messages when using an EDGE, GPRS, or any CDMA cellular data network. After the phone call ends, you will receive any incoming messages. If you tried to send an MMS message, you may need to send it again.
If the issue persists and your wireless carrier has confirmed that your wireless account is provisioned2 for MMS, restore the iPhone.

How can I get data back with Straight Talk on my 3gs

I have an iPhone 3GS that I no longer use. I gave it to my daughter and set it up on Straight Talk. Everything was working perfectly except MMS until Monday afternoon ( 7 January) when 3G just disappeared. I called Straight Talk customer service, which really *****, and was told because of an update they did, my phone will no longer connect to data. Surely there is a way for me to fix this problem, short of the fact they may just be lying to me. I had previously installed unlockit and it worked flawlessly.
Can anyone out there please help me? I'm a retired high school math teacher but I still would need your advice to be step by step.
Any help would be so very appreciated.

How can I get my iPhone to stop promting me to enter my wife's Apple ID when updating apps? I've checked settings for iTunes

How can I get my iPhone 6 to stop prompting me to enter my wife's Apple ID when updating apps? I have verified in settings that my acct is listed in itunes & App Store, as well as icloud. i can download new apps fine. Have shut down phone and re-powered, have tried plugging into my iMac while signed into my iTunes acct. Can't figure out what to do next?

Is the comp a synced device to your apple ID and approved as an active device for this synchronization?
Just cloud the sync once, activate the comp to your apple I'd in iTunes, ensure all software is up to date, turn on home sharing between the devices and you can reinstall the apps from the apple id purchase history via download.
You basically cleaned out the canonical data apple uses to validate all that, which was backup data. Like iOS devices have the purchased option on the App Store now, syncing the devices via the home sharing and properly activating them will give your comp the purchased cloud and free up 10gs of space on the precious solid states smaller drives.
Hope that helps...
If you need to know the menu to find this info, let me know. But the info is easily accessible in the help menu.

how can i get my iphone 3gs, out of the disable mode?

If your phone is disabled because you forgot your passcode, restore the phone on the last computer it was synced with. If you do not have access to the last computer it was synced with, you will have to force it into recovery mode & restore as a new device. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.

How can you get your iPhone videos to compress to one video instead of 5 different frames?

How can you get your iPhone videos to compree to one video instead of different frames

It sounds like you to 5 separate videos. If you start recording, then stop it, then start it again, you will have 2 videos. Not 1. As for splicing them together, you will need a video editing package for your PC. I don't know if Windows Movie Maker (or whatever they're calling it now) can handle this or not. On a Mac, I'd say just use iMovie.

I have several pdfs on my iPad in iBooks. My iPhone shows only the categories, none of the documents. How can I get my iPhone to also show the documents that are on my iPad?

I have several pdfs on my iPad in iBooks. My iPhone shows only the categories, none of the documents. How can I get my iPhone to also show the documents that are on my iPad?

You will need to connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over to your computer (that will copy PDFs and epubs that are in the iBooks app, not just actual ibooks), and you can then sync them to your iPhone. Or you might be able to open each PDF in iBooks on your iPad and use the share icon to email them to yourself and then use 'open in' in the Mail app on your iPhone to copy them to its iBooks app (if the PDF is protected then you may not get the email option via the share icon).
The Settings > iBooks > Sync Collections setting doesn't copy items between devices, it just means that it a bookor PDF is on both devices and you move it into a collection on one device then it will be moved into the same collection on the other device

How can I get my iphone to stop losing the signal?

How can I get my iphone to stop losing the signal?

Thanks for the tip. If only I could find somewhere where I did not lose the signal.
I am based in the United Kingdom. The carrier is Orange.
I lose the signal inside buildings and outside of buildings. It happens at work and at home. It happens in Centarl London in the open air and inside. It happens in small towns.. It happens in the countryside. It happens in motor cars. It happens in airports. It happens when the battery is fully charged, when it is half charged and when it's low on charge. It happens using the phone, when reading messages and when using the internet.
Hope this helps.

I lost my iphone 4 just after half an hour I bought it and I hadn't even activated it,how can I get my iphone 4 back?

I lost my iphone 4 after half an hour,which i had bought it without contract in full payment, and hadn't even activated it,how can I get my iphone 4 back?I haven't put any sim card in it too..please help me..

Unfortunately there is no way for you to get it back. Just report it as lost/stolen to the police just in the rare case they catch someone with it. If you had "find my iphone" setup through mobile me, there would of been a chance. Sorry.

How can I get my Iphone to work with UCONNECT?

How can I get my iphone 4s running IO7.0.4 to work with my UCONNECT system in my 2013 Chrysler?
I have talked to UCONNECT and the tekkie said "you will have to live with it because your phone is too advanced for our software and we do not have an update planned." I prress the "connect" button on the steering wheel and tell the phone to call a person on mobile. I says it cannot call "somebody else" as they do not have a mobile number. But the person it says is not the person I said.
It is like it is not reading the phonebook correctly.

Everything worked perfectly until I updated to IO 7. Then it went out the window. I cnnot be the only person with this problem and hopefully someone out there has overcome this problem. If you just stop at the first NO we would still be flipping our phones open.
