I cant seem to recieve picture messages from other networks besides 3

i cant seem to recieve picture messages from any other network besides 3.
can someone please tell me if i can fix this problem and if its the phone?

You can try the following on your friends phone:
1.  Remove the contact card
2. Then turn off iMessage and then back on again
3. Go to Messages and compose a new message
4. Press +.  This will make a list of recent contacts pop up.
5. Click on the info button number of the contact you are trying to reach.
6. Remove from Recents
7. Try to compose another message
8.  If the message attempts to send as blue (imessage), press on the message.
9 Option to send as SMS will appear (as long as they have SMS turned on.
10. Repeat and rinse.
11. Messages will start changing over to all SMS as the user will show as non-imessage user.
Hope this helps

  • After i updated to ios6 i cant send or recieve picture messages?! help please

    I recently updated to IOS6 and now i cant send or recieve picture messages unless im using imessage. But then when i do use imessage it send messages as my email not as my phone number....what is going on?!

    From the 2nd link below.
    Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
        1.    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
        2.    Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
        3.    Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
        4.    Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
        5.    An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
        6.    Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
        7.    Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.

  • What can I do my iPhone 5 can not recieve picture messages from text messaging or send messages  . only time I can send picture messages or recieve picture messages through iMessage . What do I do ?

    My iphone 5 that I just got on March 14,2015 will not send or recieve  picture messages through text messaging I can only recieve and send picture messages from  iMessage

    Hi, cymoneW. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    I understand that you are unable to send or receive picture messages via the cellular data network.  I would check to make sure that MMS is enable in settings.  This setting is located in Settings > Messages and MMS Messaging.  If the issue persists, try the troubleshooting steps in the article below.

  • 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 OS4 upgrade can't not recieve MSS messages from other carriers

    Since I've uprgaded the OS on my 3GS I have not been able to receive picture messages from my wife's phone (she has T-mobile). She can mms between our kids who also have a t-mobile account. She's had her phone checked out and it's fine.

    Yes, I already talked about this to my carrier. Do you think it doesn't have any problem with the phone?

  • I cannot recieve I messages from other people. My friends have tried sending it to my mobile number and it will not go through to my phone. I can I message them, but it goes through as my email(AppleID), not my mobile number.

    I have reset my phone, logged out and back into my AppleID, and have been searching for answers and nothing seems to be the solution. Please help! I am worried I am not getting important messages from other people.

    Well, All they ( your friends ) have to do is to add your email address with which you can and will send them iMessages to your contact in their Phone.
    Then they will be able to send you iMessages through your email address ( in your case Apple ID )
    Also I'm not sure for iPHone 4s, but I think in the iMessage settings you can choose how can people send you iMessages, by phone number or you can also list a few email addresses and choose one as primary.  ( this is confirmed on iPhone 5 or later )
    Good Luck

  • I can send but not recieve BB Message from Other country!!

    Hello,
    Last week I was in spain and I bought a Sim Card With a data plan to use my Blackberry. everything works find I come back to my country and I put my original SIM into the BB.
    Now, I´m able to use all the funtionalities but when people from Spain try to send me a BB Message the message never arrive but if I write to them everything works fine and they get the message...
    It is something like the routing system is bad... Maybe my device continue register in spain and when the people there try to write the message goes to a wrong place... beacuse I can wirte them normally.
    I already register again my device and replace the services Book...
    What do you suggest to do?  Thanks!!

    There is no restriction for BlackBerry Messenger from one country to another. It would be very very odd, as is in your case, that ONLY users from one country were restricted to messaging you, or vice versa.
    I suggest that you ask for the issue to be ESCALATED to RIM level, BlackBerry support, they should give you an escalation number and transfer the issue to trained BlackBerry support technicians. That is what you should do.
    If you don't want to do that, or won't do it based on thinking they won't be able to handle, the only two suggestions I have left is to completely delete BlackBerry Messenger (Options > Advanced > Applications) from your device, and reinstall it from www.blackberry.com/messenger
    The second suggestion would be to delete ALL of your service book entries on the device (Options > Advanced > Service Books), delete each, and then resend them to to your device by following the instructions below:
    1) Register HRT:     (OS5) Homescreen > Options > Advanced Options > Host Routing Table > Scoll to any line entry and > press the Menu key  > and then click Register Now. If you have an OS 6 device, Look at Options > Device > Advanced... etc.
    2) Resend Service Books:   KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
    Hopefully that will get things going again for you!

    Are you provisioned by AT&T to use MMS?
    Do you have MMS turn on in message settings?
    Lastly contact AT&T as messaging is a carrier feature.

  • While I was talking via land line to land line with a friend they recieved text message from my iphone that I did not send. How is that possible?

    I repeat.  While I was talking via land line to land line with a friend they began recieving text messages from my Iphone that I did not send.  I am in the middle east and I was calling a land line in Mexico but that should not have mattered.  Moreover, the person I was speaking to told me they had gotten other text messages from me that know I never sent.   I called my phone company (AT&T) and was told the problem was not with the system but with my Iphone.  They suggested someone was using app that mimicked my phone number.   Is such a think possible? 

    In addition to my iphone I have an itouch.  I only just today created an appleID so that I could use this message board so it seems unlikely that the problem is the result of a misused ID

  • Picture messages from android user

    Several times I have received a picture message from an andriod user saying:
    <Share image via GO SMS> then a link
    after trying to open the link, it doesn't work. I've googled and googled trying to figure out why I am unable to open this message, or why they are coming in as links instead of pictures, but I cannot find any answers.
    Anyone know the answer to this?

    ^ This.  This is what happens when a person wants to spam you. This is what happens when you block someone, and they still know how to add you to a group. And once you're added to that group, they can spam you from that group. This is what happens when Skype doesn't block incoming messages from blocked users in groups.
    ... There's more, by the way. It's not as short as that. I've got months worth of logs of this, spamming me from different groups, and endlessly just creating new groups and adding me and messaging me then disbanding only to create anew. My "Recent" tab doesn't work anymore, as there's constant harrassment, and as much as I "block", the spam continues in groups. Well #@^& done, Skype; it's like "Blocked" doesn't even exist. I would seriously like to see a change or two to the application's Group functions to stop people like this. Each of them has been warned that police will soon be involved for harrassment, but it doesn't seem Skype wants to make a change to stop it...
