Iphone 3GS cannot send MMS

My phone cannot send MMS for some reason.
Tried:
1. Making sure about the mms availability and setting with my network provider
2. Restoring the phone -- work when first restored to factory setting, but then not working when restored to my own setting
3. Clearing all apps -- not working and I will loose all my data on various apps
Technical support said it looks like I have problem with my back up.
But I really want the backup data including all the messages.
What can i do to preserve my data, sms and to fix this mms problem?

Since the problem was resolved when restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup and the problem returns when restoring your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup, there is a problem with your iPhone's backup.
There are 3rd party paid utilities available for extracting data from your iPhone's backup for access on your computer. This does not provide for transferring some of the data back to your iPhone that was extracted from your iPhone's backup such as messages.
Here is one.

  • IPhone 3GS - Cannot Send/Receive MSS Messages

    Checked with the carrier and MMS is set up, the 'switch' is set to on for MMS in the iphone settings. I took out the SIM card and tried it in another phone, MMS works on other phone.
    MMS will not work on my iPhone. The status gets to 85% complete, then I get a red exclamation point. Cannot receive MMS either. Hope someone can help.

    Follow the directions here:

  • TS2755 iphone 3gs wont send mms sometimes?

    You may need to contact your carrier since MMS with the iPhone is exchanged via your carrier's cellular data network.

  • Factory unlocked iPhone 4S cannot send mms

    I have a factory unlocked iPhone 4S (previously with AT&T, now used with TMobile). After I downloaded the most recent update, I am no longer able to send or receive picture messages. How do I fix this?

    Wait for the carrier update that will make it compatible with T-Mobile. Coming some time between now and 4/12.

    Are the messages successfully sent?
    If so, what happens to a message after it is successfully sent has nothing to do with the cell phone that sent the message.

  • Cannot send MMS on 3GS. Any advice please ?

    Hi. I have a 3GS updated to 6.1.3. Cannot send MMS: the image sends about 90% and then gets stuck: undelivered.  
    I'm in UK on Tesco/o2. Their advice doesnt help. I've tried 'fixes' found on Google but none work.
    I'd be really grateful for any advice or help.
    Thank you

    That's a carrier issue.   Nothing to do with your phone.
    If it really bothers you, try emailing the big file instead of texting it.  

  • I got a talktalk sim and after inputting their settings seeral times i cannot send mms my internet works fine they advised me to contact apple any suggestions please

    i recently got a contract sim with talk talk on my iphone 3gs but i cannot send mms using the settings from their websidt and going through them over the phone with talktalk they said the only people to contact is apple any suggestions please

    As you haven't responded I assume you are using an old  CPW mobile sim in your iPhone ,as Tim has said
    CPW ( talktalk) are not an Apple supported carrier and will not support the features of the iPhone
    Get a supported sim and you should then get all the features working
    You will know them

  • IMessage on iPhone 4 cannot send photos

    Upgraded my iPhone 4 and iPad 2 to iOS 5.  However, I have experienced issues with iMessage in the following manner:
    1.  iMessage on iPhone 4 cannot send photos.  It can receive photos though.  Okay for both sending & receiving texts.
    2.  Each time when trying to send a text message using iMessage, it cannot be sent out. I have to first send a text message using cellular SMS (press & hold the iMessage message and click on "send as text message"), and from that point onwards, I can then send text message using iMessage.
    Things are okay for my iPad.
    Can anyone help advise me any solution?
    Thanks and regards,
    Gary

    Is MMS enabled in Settings > Messages?

  • IPhone 3GS cannot be synced.  An unknown error occurred (-39).

    My iPhone 3GS won't sync.  I get an error message in Step 5 of 5 when it's trying to delete photos.  The message says "The iPhone "iPhone 3GS" cannot be synced.  An unknown error occurred (-39)."
    How do I fix this?  Is there anyone out there who can please help?

    Try restarting your phone and computer, use a different USB cord, use a different usb port on your computer.  Try these to see if any of them help.  Good luck!

  • My iphone 3gs wont send or recieve calls but sms is working

    My iphone 3gs wont send or recieve calls but sms is working.Signal is good & plenty of credit

    First step is to clean the iPhone charging port with a clean dry toothbrush, also use a bit of Isopropyll Alcohol, and clean especially the pins which are on top of the dock midrib.
    Let it dry for a minute. Then open iTunes on computer, then connect iPhone to computer, then hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone is recognized by iTunes in Recovery Mode. Usually about 20 seconds time of holding both buttons. Restore the iPhone Firmware.

  • Iphone 3gs cannot sync to itunes

    why my iPhone 3gs cannot sync to itunes? after i click synced, the phone seemed to sync to itunes but when it's about to complete, itunes cancelled the sync. WHYYYY? I've been having this problem since i've updated my iPhone to iO5.

    Two things to try:
    If you have a Windows computer open a Command window and type:
        netsh   winsock   reset
    If this doesn't fix it, or if you have a Mac, your current backup may be corrupted. Delete it by going to iTunes Preferences, Devices tab, highlight the backup and delete it.
    And if this still doesn't fix it, you may have a badly corrupted backup. Delete it manually by going the the Backup folder and deleting everything in it. You can find it as follows:
    Mac OS: ~Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup
    Windows XP %AppData%\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: %AppData%\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup

  • IPhone 3GS cannot access to 3G network after upgrading to OS 5

    My iPhone 3GS cannot access the 3G network after upgrading to OS5. I have checked with my operator and shows that their 3G network is working fine. Only cannot access through the phone. When I enable 3G, there will be no service for my phone. Wifi is working fine.
    Any idea how to resolve this?

    Thanks, I will try this method. After restore and syn, will it automatically upgrade back to OS5? 
    No. If you have 5.0.1, then you will get 5.0.1 back. Restoring should still fix it though. I would prefer to have you back up to iCloud, because there are many known issues/errors when trying to restore via iTunes on iOS 5 or later.

  • Iphone 3GS cannot detect SIM card

    Hi My iphone 3GS cannot detect the SIM card.
    The phone shows full bar for service provider but 3G unable. It cannot receive incoming calls and make outgoing calls.

    I am assuming you updated to version 5.1.1, not 5.0.1 since no legitimate version of 5.0.1 is available.
    Where is this iPhone from and what means did you use to unlock it?

    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.
