I have an iphone5 and cannot send group texts.

Hoping for advice please. I have an iphone5 and cannot send group texts, it will only deliver if I send the text individually.
I cannot send photos via text message and if someone sends me a photo or long text it comes through to my e mail. Why?
Please help, I think they may all be connected.Thank you.

I've noticed that this only happens when one or more of the recipients I enter has an iphone and at least one of the others does not. The system seems to fail when it tries to send an SMS text message and an iMessage. The frustrating thing is that I don't get a chance to try to just send all as SMS texts instead.
The only way I found to get around this problem is to make sure that I send to two separate groups, one group with iPhones and another without. Two separate messages isn't ideal, and searching for who has an iphone and who doesn't is a pain, but... until they fix it, I'm afraid this is our only option.

  • Cannot send group texts/messages or voice texts.

    I just bought my iPhone 6 Plus on December 27.  Starting today for some reason, I cannot send group texts (iMessages or SMS texts) or voice texts.  Please advise.

    This doesn't really help me as much; I know how to send texts, and I am able to do so to individuals.  It's just that I can't get group texts to go through.  I have service and am sending to both iPhone users and non-iPhone users.  Interestingly enough, a moment ago a particularly long text I tried to send to an individual non-iPhone user was not delivered.  Does anyone know if there is some lingering issue with messaging on the iPhone 6 Plus?  I have the latest iOS software update.

  • My text messages to iphones are not sending as imessages.  Instead I have to copy and then send as text messages.

    Over the last couple of weeks, when I try to send someone an imessage, it won't sent and instead I have to click on the message and choose the option, 'send as text message'.  I haven't changed any of the settings other than install ios7.  Please help.

    Hi,
    This issue is usually caused by some anti-virus programs, disable the anti-virus program you have on the PC, check if this issue will happen again.
    You may also run Outlook in Safe Mode to determine if it's 3rd-party add-ins related:
    Press Win + R and type “outlook.exe /safe” in the blank box, then press Enter.
    If there’s no problem viewing html emails in Safe Mode, disable the suspicious add-ins to verify which add-ins caused this issue. Some security programs may have such add-ins intergrated with Outlook.

    Ask your phone carrier why you can't send a group text.

  • Can   i  send group texts  and have them be sent as indivuale texts so everybody does not see responses

    How to send group texts and have them sent as individual texts so everybody does not see responses?

    deref,   Group messaging is a great way to keep everyone in touch. I use them quite frequently. When you send a group message the replies will be sent to everyone. You can send them individually so people cannot see the replies.  RobinD_VZW  Follow us on Twitter @VZWSupport  If my response answered your question please click the "Correct Answer" button under my response.

  • This relates to an earlier question I asked:  I have an iPhone and can send messages to a galaxy phone but the person cannot receive them; however, I can send them and it sounds like they are sent, but are not received.  I can get them from a galaxy.

    This relates to an earlier question I asked:  I have an iPhone and can send messages to a galaxy, but the person cannot receive them; however, I can receive messages from the galaxy.  I have only had an iPhone so the problem does not relate to a change in phones.  Up until about 1month ago I could send to the galaxy and they could be read.  Help!

    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.

  • I have an iphone 5 and cannot send email, server refused user...

    I have an iphone 5 and cannot send email away from home. It works fine at home over my home WiFi. But when away from home on Verizon wireless if I send an email I get an error: "the server refused user >Personal email address deleted< your message has been added to drafts". What do I need to do to fix this? My wife has the same problem with her iphone 5.

    I cannot send a text thru iMessage.  I followed the directions over and over again but can't make it work.  Also how can I find out all the apple ids I may have.

    A wet phone is out of warranty. This is considered user damage. Even if you were able to get it to start now, the chances of it working for long are slim. I suggest going to Apple and see about an OOW replacement. One for the iPhone 4 is only $149USD and it would come with a short warranty. It is a refurbished device and you would not be worried about encountering additional problems.

  • My iPhone 6 Cannot recieve or send group text messages

    My iphone 6 cannot send or receive group texts. It was able to send and receive grout texts until the IOS 8.0.2 upgrade. A few texts from throughout the day did come in randomly in the middle of the night, but no other explanation. I have cycled both on and off the imessage and sms message feature while resetting the network settings. This accomplished nothing. This is becoming rather frustrating with all ese different issues.

    I've been seeing similar issues. Are you on T-Mobile, and did you turn on Wifi Calling? I found that once I turn that option on, I was not able to send group texts. Turning it off, and then Reset Network Settings would allow me to send group texts again. This of course, is not an ideal situation.
