I can recieve MMS messages, but can't send them?

I have "MMS messaging" turned on in settings. When I turn Cellular data on I can receive MMS messages; but I can't send them. It just starts sending them and then the red exclamation mark appears. How can I change that?

I have the same problem on the same phone. My 4S is manufacturer unlocked and I use it on the SimpleMobile system which is basically T-Mobile. I am running iOS 8. I had to delete the profile, reset the network settings, input the APN settings all over again with iMessage and 3g and WIFI turned off, and then I had to restart the phone. Not sure if I just got lucky because I have tried most of these steps before but this time it seemed to work.
Good luck.

Why can I receive messages but can't send any

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try all of those, then if there are still issues, provide specifics of what is occurring.

C3-01 - Can' t send MMS message but can receive an...

Hi, I am having issues with sending MMS messages. I believe I have all the correct AT&T settings as I set them up and even spoke with AT&T and they sent them to my phone. I can send an MMS message, send and receive texts, access email via the AT&T network and everything else, but I can't seem to send a picture message. Is there some unique phone setting that I a missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Pretty sure it will be a carrier issue, I had similar problem with my phone recently, and Vodafone emailed me the manual configuration settings, which I entered manually, now it's all working fine ! Contact AT&T again !

BB Curve 8520--Can't receive MMS messages, but can successfully send them.

I just got the BB Curve 8520 and I can send MMS messages successfully, but no matter how many times someone sends me a MMS, it does not make it to me. I tried changing my firewall and MMS settings, but this has still left me without any incoming MMS messages. It is supposed to be included in my plan with Rogers. Any suggestions?

Weird problem-w/ aol mail,i can recieve and reply,but can not send new mail

everything is set up, i read the instructions on that site to help me set it up, im recieving mail, and i can even reply, but when i try to send new mail it rejects the smtp. outgoing mail server...any suggestions?

Does resetting include deleting and recreating the AOL SMTP server?
Deleting an SMTP server requires selecting Edit Server List from the SMTP server selection pop-up menu.
ISP is short for Internet Service Provider. Are you using AOL as your ISP for connecting to the internet?
Unless AOL is used as your ISP, your ISP may have made recent changes regarding the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network. Most, if not all ISPs have restrictions regarding the use of SMTP servers outside of their network on Port 25. Using Port 587 usually resolves any such restrictions but some ISPs block the use of all SMTP servers outside of their network regardless. These restriction are in place as part of an overall effort to prevent or reduce spam eminating from the ISP's domain.
Since you have switched back and forth between every option available, I suggest deleting and recreating AOL's SMTP server first (if you haven't already done so) and if this didn't work, deleting and recreating this AOL account in Mail.
If neither works and AOL is not your ISP used for connecting to the internet and you are accessing an email account and SMTP server provided by your ISP, try selecting/using your ISP's SMTP server to send mail with your AOL account.
If this works, I would contact your ISP's technical support to inquire about any recent changes implemented regarding the use of SMTP servers outside of their network or put in another way, using an SMTP server that is not provided by your ISP.
The last resort is targeting the Mail.app preference file which stores all account information and general Mail.app preferences.
I try to avoid saying never in regards to computers but I doubt your hard drive replacement has anything to do with this.

Can read group messages, but unable to send.

I have just factory reset my iPhone 5 to factory settings, using iOS 7.0.4 and I am unable to send group messages.
I can turn off group messages and am able to send them to individual users but can't send the group a message and have it stay in group. I get a red excalamation mark almost immediately before it's even trying to send.
I use iMessage one-on-one fine
SMS one-on-one fine
group message impossible to send, but able to see
What gives?

try entering the username and password for the outgoing mail server and see if that helps.
If your still having troubles, look at this link.

I can receive I message but can't send I message

Help....I can receive an I message....but can't send one, or reply to one!

My best guess is that you are accidentally typing in the subject field without realizing it and when you try to send the message, it will not go through. Unless there is text in the text area - and not just in the subject field, the message will not send.
Like I said, that's only a guess. Try using the subject field again, but make sure that you are also typing the message in the text field and see if the message will send. You can always turn the subject field off again if it will not work. If I leave the subject field turned on, I can still text, as long as I type the message in the line below the subject field.

I can receive sms messages but I cannot initiate them

I'm in a group message with 12 people. All are iPhone users, except for the token Galaxy user. I can receive messages, but I cannot send them. How can I fix this?

Title says it all

Hey kenth93939!
Here is an article for you about group messages that has some helpful information and troubleshooting tips for this issue:
iOS: Understanding group messaging
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5760
The Group Messaging setting applies only to MMS messages.
Your wireless carrier may restrict the maximum number of recipients allowed in a group message with MMS.
Disabling Group Messaging has no effect on iMessage behavior. Responses to group iMessages are always sent to all recipients.
Group messaging with MMS requires an appropriate plan from your carrier for use on iPhone.
Carrier messaging rates may apply when using group messaging with MMS.
Additional Information
It is not possible to remove yourself from a group message.
To add or remove recipients, you must create a new group message conversation.
If you experience an issue with iMessage, SMS, or MMS messaging, try the steps outlined in this article.
To learn more about SMS, MMS, and iMessage see iOS: Using Messages.

Text messages as in SMS/MMS, or iMessages?
If the former, contact your carrier.

Hi,
In Messages on the Mac do you have the Preferences > Messages section set to "Save History when Conversations are Closed" ?
This will store all IMs and iMessages in ~/Library/Messages/Archive.
Use the Finder > Go Menu > Go to Folder and type that path into the Dialogue box that appears. (~/Library/Messages/Archive).
They are stored in dated folders so some guessing/trail and error will be needed.
You may find that if this was an iMessage and you send the person a new message that the whole History with that Contact since you installed Mountain Lion/Started Messages may appear and that it is scrollable the closer you get to the "top" and the top may keep moving until all is on show.
