I can't send MMS to people that don't have iPhone

Hey ! I could send photos to people without iPhone before, now I can't, i also have the latest iOS on my iPhone 4. Does anyone know what's wrong ?

First of all anybody that you want to message with has to have messages already set up on their devices and they have to be registered to use Messages on their own. You cannot add them, they actually have to add themselves to use Messages. Messages only works with other iOS devices as well. You cannot text with any other cell phone or smartphone.
But if the contacts were not registered you would get a different message than a grey send button I think. Go to Settings>messages>Show Subject field. Make sure that Show Subject Field is set to OFF.

  • Ever since I updated my software, I can't send or receive pictures from people who don't have iphones

    Ever since I updated my iphone software I am unable to send or receive pics by text with people I know do not have iphones. I still can with people who have iphones. Does anyone else have this issue? I have a iphone 4.

    I have tried this but there is no option for 'MMS' activation? It just has
    iMessage (on/off)
    Send Read Receipts (on/off)
    Send as SMS (on/off)
    Send & Receive - '2 adresses'
    SMS/MMS - Show Subject Field (on/off)
                       Character Count (on/off)

  • Can my IPod 4th generation send messages to people who don't have an IPhone or IPod?

    I have updated my IPod and it isn't letting me send messages to other people who dont have an Apple Product. Why is that happening? Also my facetime isn't working. Why is that?

    iMessage allows you to send unlimited text, photos, videos, locations, and contacts using Wi-Fi or 3G* from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to other iOS 5 users. "

  • CANT SEND MMS TO PEOPLE WITHOUT IMESSAGE

    I can't send MMS to people without iMessage, when I go into settings > messages, there is suppost to be an option that says "turn on MMS" but I don't have that option! The problem appears when im on the message app, and it is not possible to press the small camera button to inser an image. Its like it is deactivated but i dont find the option where I activate mms.
    My iphone is a 4s and I have all the latest updates.

    Have you contacted your carrier to insure that MMS is provisioned on your account?

    I have an iphone 4s unlocked with att prepaid plan (non-contract), everything was working perfect BUT since i update to IOS6 i can not send MMS to anybody has Android, i went to att technical center they said only apple store can fix the problem, i went to Apple store MANY times they could not fix it, so they gave me a new iphone 4s and they said they fixed it but they did not,iam so mad that's not fair, can somebody help me please.

    The nice thing about owning this overpriced POS is that Apple not only doesn't support it, but also doesn't want to hear about anything negative regarding it.  So I spoke to the so-called "support" people at Apple who successfully screwed up my contacts beyond repair.  I got a nice email from Apple asking me to rate the support I got.  I was actually civil and described the issue tactfully.  What do I get in return?  Nothing.  Not a damned thing!!  You're luck you've got me by the short hairs on a 2 year contract but I'm still tempted to throw this POS through the front window of the nearest Apple store!!  Not only will I be replacing this phone with a competitive product but I won't be buying anymore Apple crap.  I guess when you con 27 million people into believing your rhetoric and sales lies, you don't have to care whether some customers get screwed or not.  I'll be going back to Verizon and threatening legal action if they don't take this electronic dung heap back but I'm sure the teams of lawyers Apple and Verizon have on staff have insured that I have no rights in this matter and you're free to screw me anytime you please.  Sad. I used to love Apple as a company and your products.  Now you're just another Microsoft with more trendy looking junk.  I've had it with you.  If any of your executives are brave enough to talk to me, please contact me at your convenience.

  • So, I can't send MMS messages to non-IOS users.

    Actually, I can't send MMS successfully without using iMessage. Since anyone that doesn's have an iPhone doesn't use iMessage, directly what am I supposed to do?? This has only been an issue today but it's a ridiculous issue that Verizon seems to refuse to get a handle on. I am connected to WiFi, and even when I'm not, that changes NOTHING!!! So what do I do to fix this? Better yet, what does VERIZON do to fix this? I don't see how people fork over hundreds of dollars a month for services that don't work and customer service reps that offer no help....

        Clearly there's a wireless concern that warrants our immediate attention here NoToleranceForShenanigans! Let's look into this together. May I ask what zip code are you in? Are you able to send texts to the same number without any issues? How much available device memory do you have on your iPhone? As you share the details then we can troubleshoot.
    Thank you…

  • 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?

  • Can't send mms after updating

    What is going on? I updated my Spring 4s to iOS6 and now I can't send MMS's to people NOT via iMessage.

    For what it's worth, I'm having the same problem with my iPhone 4S. I can only send MMS to other iPhone users. Attempting to send it to non-iPhone users results in a failure and retry, over and over. There is another thread on here where we're talking about it:

  • Can't send MMS from iPhone 4S

    I can't send MMS messages from my Iphone 4S. I can send them over iMessage, however (and apparently I can receive them from anyone).
    MMS messaging is turned on, and I already took it to the AT&T store. They said there should be no problem from their end (with my account etc)
    I also tried restoring the phone, that didn't work.
    I don't want to have to schedule an appointment to take it to the apple store, so I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions before I do that.
    Thanks very much!

    how about a reset?  Hold down the home/power button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

  • 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 !
    If I have helped at all, a click on the White Star is always appreciated :

  • If you do not have imessage enabled, can you still text with people that do?

    I just updated my iphone 4 to the ios5 software, but disabled imessage because I have heard that it is unreliable. Can I still text with people that do have imessage enabled on their phone?

    iMessages are only sent as SMS if iMessage is unavailable and "Send as SMS" is enabled in Settings.
    Settings -> Messages > Send as SMS 
    I do not believe this is enabled as a default setting.

  • Can I send a voice text that actually speaks to the person who receives it?

    Can Siri send a voice text that actually delivers the text in my voice??

    That may or may not work with a Previously registered Mac. Worth a try but in the end the OP may have to contact Apple directly by phone.

    No.  The iPad cannot make/receive cellular calls or send/receive cellular text messages.  It can only send and receive cellular data, if equipped with 3G.
