How do I send photos via text message to non-iPhone users?

I can send photos to only iPhone users, but not other phones. WHAT'S GOING ON?

Do you have MMS messaging turned on? Does your plan allow for MMS messaging? Are you using T-Mobile in the US? T-Mo's US network is not fully compatible with the iPhone and MMS messaging may not work.

  • Picture messaging via text messages to non-iPhone users.

    Hi I have an iPhone 4 with bell, I am unable to send pictures via text message/to non-iPhone users. I've been able to send them before using wifi, but not now. I've tried turning off iMessage, resetting network settings, mms on SMS on, I don't have data but wifi always worked before hand. I've tried sending to iPhones using text message, to HTC, and a blackberry but neither work and I cannot receive from the black berry nor HTC, please help, this is frustrating.

    MMS is a carrier feature, so make your queries to Bell.

    I can't send or receive text messages from non iphone users

    Under Settings - Messages, do it state Sens SMS ON? Should be (this applies to imessage but just in case).
    Same area, MMS Messaging is on? Should be.
    If all else fails, go into Settings General Reset - Reset Network Settings (this will lose WiFi info but fixes a lot of messaging errors).

    Another thing you can try is to ensure that the setting for ( send as sms if imessage unavailable ) is turned on, this can be found in Settings : Messages. If this doesnt work you can also try changing the contact details to read mobile instead of iphone.
    That setting is not relevant to sending SMS messages to non-iPhones. It only affects what happens when an iMessage won't go through to an iOS device. And, what the phone number is labeled has no effect on anything. You could create a custom label "Rutabaga" and the SMS would still go through if the account was properly provisioned. Those labels are for human brain convenience only.

  • TS2755 On or after January 1, 2013, I was no longer able to send pictures by text message to non-iPhone users.  Is there a setting I am missing?

    On or after January 1, 2013 (that was the last day that it worked), I lost the ability to text pictures to a non-iPhone user.  Can you help, because my daughter misses the pictures.  If it matters, I am on AT&T and my daughter on Verizon Wireless.

    99.9% of the time, if you can send/receive SMS's, & MMS is turned on in settings, the problem rests with your carrier, not your phone. So, call your carrier & have them reset MMS for your account. MMS is a carrier feature & must be properly provisioned to work.

  • I cannot send or receive text messages from other iPhone users. I don't get an error I just don't receive any messages and the other users do not receive mine.

    I cannot send or receive text messages from other iPhone users. I don't get an error I just don't receive any messages and the other users do not receive mine.

    Reset the devices: Hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go.

    Most likely your carrier has not enabled texting on your phone.

  • Iphone 5 crops picture when send it via text message.to  with iphone 5 the photo they get is always cropped on the right side.  Any help?

    I have iphone 5 and when I take picture and then later send it via text message to another person with iphone 5 the photo they get is always cropped on the right side.  Any help?

    Make sure the contact has a 10-digit number, not just the 7-digit number.
    If that isn't it, does the problem only happen with iMessages, SMS or MMS messages?
    Try tapping Settings > Messages, then turn SMS and MMS off. Test, then repeat again only leaving SMS or MMS on.
    This Apple doc has some good tips too -> iOS: Troubleshooting Messages

  • HT6154 Why are my texts sending as a text message to another iphone user instead of an imessage?

    I just got my new iphone 5s. Well I have been sending text message to another iphone user and my text are going in as a text message instead of an imessage. The never happened with my iphone 4s.  Also I do not recieve some of my text message till almost an hour later.  This has nothing to do with where I am because I can be down the road from someone and I did not get their message until I got closer to her.  Me and my husband just got these new iphone 5s and we are both having the same problem.  Can someone help?  I don't want to return the phone but if I continue to have this problem I'll just keep my iphone 4s because I never ran into any problems like this prior.

    imessage will send as a SMS when it is unavailable either thru a weak wifi or cellular data signal.  OR the other side has imessage turuned off.

  • New iphone 4S doesn't let me send/receive text messages to non-iPhone users...how can I change this?

    wondering if it is due to a brief stop in service but I am not receiving messages from non-iPhone contacts and not allowing me to send--even though it appears as I sent a text--recipients are not getting the texts I send IF they do not have an iPhone...what to do to change this?

    Contact your carrier and make sure that your account is properly set up for texting.

  • Unable to send text messages to non iphone users

    i can only send messages to iphone users because of imessage.. why?

    Text messages rely on your cellular carrier's SMS system when going to non-iPhone users.  Contact your cellular carrier and make sure your plan includes SMS.

  • HT3529 can my daughter send text messages to non iphone users with only an apple id?

    Can you send a text message from ipod touch to non iphone users with only an apple id and no phone number?

    The Apple Messages app will only send Messages to another uses who has the Messages app on their iPod touch, iPad or iPhone. For Messsging an iPod touch or iPad you use the E-mail address they have in Settings>Messages>Send and Receive.  An Phone number will also be listed if they also have an iPhone with iOS 6 using the same Apple ID and yo can use the number.
    You can Message an iPhone by its phone number of the Apple ID email address listed in Settings>Messages>Send and Receive.

  • Why do i receive blanks text messages from non iphone users when they send emojis ?

    everytime some non iphone user texts me an emoji, it just comes as a bubbe with no words or emojis
    i know there are emojis being used because someone had told me what they put

    Whatever emoji font they're using isn't compatible with iPhones. Mostly, I've seen the problem in the other direction. Putting emoji in a text from an iPhone to an Android can result in gibberish.
    One more good reason not to use emoji,
    Best of luck.
