I am no longer able to send group messages or send pictures to contacts that do not have an iPhone. Using iOS 5.1.1

Is anyone else having this issue? Any ideas on how to fix it?

Is DATA turned on ? Verizon  makes you have data turned on to send/receive media via text.  To use only wifi, send the media via email like with a Gmail acount.

  • I just bought an new ipad mini with wifi and cellular. Is there any way to send text messages to people and contacts that do not have iphones such as friends with blackberrys or a samsung galaxy smartphone.

    I just bought an new ipad mini with wifi and cellular. Is there any way to send text messages to people and contacts that do not have iphones such as friends with blackberrys or a samsung galaxy smartphone from this ipad. Everytime I try to send a message to a person that does not have an Apple product ( Iphone or Ipad ) it comes up saying contact is not registered for iMessage and wont send it. I can only send them a message from my iPhone 4 instead. Do I have to install a new App from the App store to send these non iMessage cell users a message?

  • I cant get messages to send messages to people in my contacts that I know have ios devices. Why not?

    I am fairly new to all the Apple stuff and computers in general. I cannot get my mas to send messages to people in my contact list and I have no idea how to fix this or where to start. Can anyone help me, please?

    They need to have their apple id tied to their ios device in the recieve at area.
    you need to also be sending messages to the apple id account instead of their phone number.
    This requires you to have your contact cards in order. For every one you know who has an ios device and imessages setup with their apple id email, you need to also include their apple id in their card.
    once you do that, simply type their name and choose their apple id email to send to and then you should be golden joe.

  • Why can't i send a picture message to my contacts who do not have an iphone?

    Why can,t i send a picture message to my contactcs who do not have an iphone?

    Make sure you have MMS on in Settings > Messages.
    If it is, make sure the other phone can send/receive MMS messages.

  • My iPhone 3GS is no longer able to send pictures via text??

    I've done a total phone reset, taken it to the ATT store (they checked all the MMS settings and they were correct), sync'd it to itunes and downloaded all updates...but still can't gte it to send pictures via text?
    This all started last Monday when I traveled out to las Vegas...every picture I tried to send would get the status bar about 95% across on the send before popping up a red exclamation point next to the picture that gives me a "message failed to send" error. Here's a screen cap:
    [IMG]http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b270/firebird1999us/securedownload.jpg[/IMG]
    Any ideas?

    I had same problem. Check your Settings/General/Network/Cellular Data Network - make sure your MMSS has 2 // After http, ie, http//... If you have to change this, make sure you switch iPhone off and restart after 20 seconds, go back to your settings to make sure changes have stayed put. Then take a photo and MMS it to yourself, this will take a minute or 2 to go through.
    Hope this works for you

  • 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.

  • My N97 is no longer able to send outgoing e-mail t...

    After a hard reset, my N97 is no longer able to send outgoing e-mail through my Gmail account.  I had to set up my e-mail account again on the N97 after the hard reset. I created the e-mail settings with the mailbox guide.  I can retrieve my e-mail messages but I am no longer able to send a new e-mail message. 
    Now, when I create a new e-mail message (Options, Create message, E-mail) and I select "Send" after creating the message, the N97 keeps trying to connect to my mailbox and gives up after several minutes.
    Before the hard reset, I had no problems receiving and sending e-mail messages on my N97, using my Gmail account. What should I do to make it send new e-mail messages?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Sounds like something is wrong in your settings,
    Either delete the account from your phone and set it up again or use the G-Mail website help to find the correct settings and manualy check and adjust your phones outgoing settings to match
    = =
    I already tried those without working.  I have deleted the account from my phone and set it up again.  Also, I used the G-Mail website Help to find the correct settings and manualy check and adjust my phone's outgoing settings to match.  It is not sending the outgoing e-mail messages.  I keep getting this notice: Connecting to mailbox.  After a while it stops without sending the e-mail message. 
    It wasn't like that before the hard reset.

  • Why am I  no longer able to send or receive text messages from my Droid RAZR MAXX HD?

    Why am I no longer able to send or receive text messages from my Droid RAZR MAXX HD? 

        @slotjan49
    I want to ensure you're able to stay connected using your Motorola Droid Razr Maxx HD!  When did this problem begin?  In what zip code are you experiencing this?  Do you get an error message when attempting to send a text?  Are you using a downloaded text messaging application or are you using the preinstalled text messaging application?
    Please try removing and reinserting the SIM Card http://vz.to/1jxFQVZ and retesting.  Please let me know so that I can further assist.  Thanks!

    All of a sudden, I am no longer able to send e-mails (tho I still receive them). the error message says "outgoing server failed" Any ideas?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost       
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Can you send email from that account on another device?
    - You can try deleing the account from the iPod and reentering the settings.

    why am I no longer able to send text messages on Skype

    In order to send SMS messages (to non-iPhone/iPad users), you need to have your iPad connected to an iPhone. Both devices need to be logged into the same Apple ID. On the iPhone, go to Settings>Messages>Text Message Forwarding and select your iPad.
