I cannot send a picture message to non apple devices

I have an iPhone 5s. The issue with messaging is that I can send iPhone users pic messages, and them to me (with wifi or data on) but non iPhone users can send me a pic, which I receive, but I cannot send a pic to them.  I can text to non iPhone users fine, it's just the image that won't go through.
Obviously I can use Apples service, but obviously not Verizon's? And I don't mean their app.
Be aware that I have done a network reset and have checked to make sure that MMS is turned on and on top of that I have 4 addresses that are stored for sending and receiving.
Thank you!

I want to ensure you're able to send and receive, picture messages from non iPhone users as well as iPhone users!
When did this problem begin?  Have you been able to send picture messages to other non iPhone users in the past?  Do you get an error message when you attempt sending a picture message?  Please let me know so that I can further assist.  Thanks!

    I cannot send MMS/picture message and I cannot send picture message through facebook too. Please help me I have check the use packet data from mobile network.

    If you were trying to send them over Wifi, that may be the reason. For mms, you have to use the network data connection, it won't work on Wifi.

  • HT203977 My new IPad Air 2 will not let me send text messages to non Apple devices.  What can I do to fix this problem?

    I have a brand new IPad Air 2.  My operating system is 8.2.  I am not able to send iMessages (texts) to non Apple devices.  When I attempt to, the name is in red not green.  What can I do to fix this?

    An iPad is not capable of natively sending an SMS or MMS messages.  Those services require a cellular voice channel connection, and a data tablet is only capable of a cellular data channel connection, not a voice channel connection.
    If you have an iPhone, under the settings on the iPhone you can enable forwarding with your iPad - where the iPhone actually sends and receives the SMS texts and shares them with your iPad.
    Otherwise, you will need to use an app and internet service like the telegram messaging app. Or you can send emails to the persons cell phone via their carriers texting gateway (e.g. [email protected] if they use AT&T in the USA).
    iMessages between iOS apps are separate from SMS texts as iMessages use Apples internet service and equipment. But the SMS protocol crams a short text message into the residual bandwidth of a cellular phones voice channel and cannot be sent over a cellular data connection.

  • IPad with wifi only cannot send sms or mms to non apple users. Operating system is 8.1.3

    I am using an iPad 2 with iOS 8.1.3. I was told that with this operating system, I would be able to send sms or mms to non-iso users. I was able to do so when I originally upgraded to 8.1.3, but am no longer able to send. The person's name comes up in red and there is an exclamation point.

    An iPad cannot natively send an SMS. The SMS text protocol sends its data within the voice channel spectrum of a cell phone voice connection. So, only a cell phone can actually send SMS texts, and only over a cellular voice connection.
    If you were doing it before, you must have been using an app. There are apps that will allow you to send SMS texts via cellular providers SMS-email gateways, e.g. as an email to [email protected]

    Hello Joe,
    I found a few resources you can use to troubleshoot the iMessage issues you are experiencing. 
    I recommend reviewing this article first:
    iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime and iMessage activation
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4268
    If your Apple ID is activated in the Messages Settings and you still cannot send and receive iMessages, I recommend following the steps in the section titled "If you still can't send or receive iMessages" in the following article:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

    Make sure that MMS is turned on in Settings>Messages. Also, contact your carrier to make sure that your account is properly provisioned for MMS.

  • IPhone 4s wont send picture messages to non iPhone users.

    I've tried reinstalling the IOS 6, changing the settings, shutting off the phone. I can not send picture messages to non iPhone users but can send texts and receive texts and receive picture messages. just can't send. Help.

        jannwj, sending and receiving pictures is very important these days because we try to capture the moment all the time. I know this issue is frustrating because I take, send, and receive pictures at least 20 times a day. I researched  your issue and did not find this as a known issue. Do you receive a error message? I recommend checking your message settings to ensure they are enabled. I have listed the steps below:
    1) From the home screen, select Settings.
    2) Select Messages.
    3) From MMS Messaging, drag the switch left or right to enable / disable.  Enabled when set to ON.
    Please let me know if this helps. Also ensure the data network is enabled. I have listed steps below:
    1) From the home screen, select Settings.
    2) Select General.
    3) Select Cellular.
    4) Drag the Cellular Data switch left or right to enable / disable cellular data.
    On /Celluar data enabled
    Off /Cellular data disabled

  • TS5185 My IPAD will not send messages to non APPLE users.

    Today, Christmas Day, while trying to send a message my IPAD wanted me to turn on iMessage. There was no option not to do this. After it was turned on I could no longer send messages to non Apple users. After reading online that I could set send SMS on my IPHONE I did. Now I guess it send everything as an SMS message. Now my IPAD will not send messages to non Apple users. I guess Apple wants us to pick our friends only if the use Apple products. This is about as stupid as it gets. They want us to only communicate with Apple users. The only other option is to turn the feature off. Why have iMessage in the first place.
    So my situation is I can send SMS Messages on my IPHONE. I cannot send any messages to non Apple users on my IPAD and iMessages to my Apple users.
    This kind of stupidity is why I switched from Windows to Apple in the first place. Don't they test anything out anymore at Apple?

    Please don't take this the wrong way, but I think that you might be doing something wrong.
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support
    To use Continuity for SMS and MMS with your iPhone and your Mac, iPad or iPod touch
    Your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch need to use iOS 8.1, and your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.
    Sign in to iMessage on your iPhone, your other iOS devices, and your Mac using the same Apple ID.
    On your iPhone:
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By, and add a check to both your phone number and email address.
    Go to Messages > Text Message Forwarding, and enable the device(s) you would like to forward messages to.
    Your Mac, iPad, or iPod touch will display a code. Enter this code on your iPhone to verify the SMS feature.

  • IPhone 4s can not recieve picture messages from non- iphones

    My IPhone 4s can not receive or send picture messages from non Iphones. Also, I do not receive group text if there is someone in the group that does not have an IPhone. thanks for the help in advance.

        Dear bgeorge843,
    Good afternoon. Thank you so much for trying the troubleshooting steps provided. Let's try other options in troubleshooting.
    First lets reset your network settings. For directions on how to reset your network settings click http://vz.to/19OMzKU . I also noticed you mention you have no problems sending pictures to iPhones. Also, are you the account owner? Have you verified there are no blocks on your account that may restrict you from sending picture messages? We look forward to hearing from you.
    Thank You,

  • Since upgrade to iOS 7 Email error on over 100KB emails "Cannot Send Mail  The message was rejected by the server because it is too large." Connecting to Exchange via Activesync

    Hi,
    Following the upgrade to iOS 7.0.3 on all our iPhone and iPad devices, it has been identified that when sending emails around 100KB in size and over an error message appears on the device stating “Cannot Send Mail  The message was rejected by the server because it is too large.” See error message below. The send/receive limit is over 10MB so this is not the issue.
    We are in an Exchange Environment using Microsoft Activesync. This issue is not evident in iOS 6. This has been tested on an iPhone 3GS running version iOS 6.1.3. We have been unable to repeat the issues seen on iOS 7 on the older OS. It is not possible to roll back to the older operating system as Apple are no longer signing the software.
    We use Microsoft Active Sync to connect to our Exchange servers through a TMG. The issue is very inconsistent, some identical emails go through, some fail. This is not an issue with the send/receive limit as this is over 10MB. The error message when it fails on the TMG is Status: 413 Request Entity Too Large, which we believe is from IIS on the CAS server.
    Does anyone have any suggest course of actions to take?
    Many Thanks

    This resolution have to attend at the server not with the ios device. My employer's mail administrator reject me to correct it from the server. As his concern is, if ither ios devices works why don't mine? So I am helpless than changing my iphone. It works fine for early versions of ios and with androids. And also one of my friends iphone4 with ios 7 (similar as mine) works too. So I guess it's something wrong with my iPhones settings. But basic question I cannot understand is it works in my phone before this ios7 upgrading. And currently working with my yahoo account too. Favourable reply expected.
