IPhone 4 wont send pics to non iPhone users

My daughter and I both purchased the iPhone 4 (brand new!) yesterday. Mine is working GREAT. Hers is having issues. Most issues were resolved when we removed "restrictions" but she still is un-able to send pictures to non-iPhone users, yet I have full ability to do so. Any answers? Verizon said we needed to talk to Apple before they would replace.
Thanks.

Check Settings>Messages to be sure MMS Messaging is set to On.

  • Iphone 4s wont send pics to non iPhone users

    tried everything. contacted Apple. still can't get it to work. Any help would be appreciated.

        Hi Jannwj, I am sorry you are having issues with not being able to send pictures to non iPhone users from your iPhone 4S! I realize you said everything was tried! However, more specifics would be appreciated. I like to suggest for you to check on something! Is the most reset software version on your iPhone 4S? If you have not checked this, give the update a chance to help resolve the issue. Use this link to the update and following all the steps with backing up your data http://bit.ly/RA0BTg. Also, go into your settings>messages and turn MMS on. If it is already on, try doing a soft reset and retry sending the picture message. I trust this helps!
    Thanks,

  • IPhone wont send pictures to non IPhone users

    For the past couple of months I have not been able to sent picture messages to people who don't have iphones.  I thought it was because a new update was coming soon.  Once the update came and I downloaded it, it still was not working.  I can send regular texts to people who don't have iphones but just not pictures.  I have tried sending pictures to both people with iphones and without.  I can send them to people who have iphones.  Also, the ones who are non iphone users can't send me pictures either.  And it's not just certain phones because I have tried with 3 different people who have different phones and different service providers.  I have searched online and tried what other people have suggested but can't figure it out.  All my settings seem to be fine.  I have a 4s.  Someone please help!!

    Yes, it could allow the app to change the types of photos allowed to be viewed and sent, but also change the format in which they are taken.  Essentially, if the App is only functional for JPEG2 images, then it will stop the phone from editing, and sending/receiving pics in any other format.  If Removing those apps doesn't help, then first, I would do a network reset.
    Settings > Genreal > Reset Settings > Reset Network Settings.  This will not cause you to lose anything on your phone, but rather, it will reset all WiFi settings, and your connection to your carrier tower.  This could be the issue.
    Also, you could contact your carrier...  For example (because I don't know the details of your contract), if your hubby doesnt want you sending/recieveing pics, or your on your parents contract, they could have turned off the feature to send./recieve pics...  But if your communicating to a phone via iMessage, then that feature can't be stoped via the carrier because it's essentially an instant messanger dont over the internet..   Also check you restrictions.. If you acidentally restricted phonos on your phone, it will do the same thing... It will stop texts from sending/receiving pics, but cannot control iMessage as its an instant messanger and not a Text.
    If this doesnt help, then I would consider restoring your phone off iTunes.  You shoul dbe backing up regularly(once a week min) and then you may be able to correct this issue.  If a restore doesn't help, then I would visit an Apple store.

  • Can't send pics to non iPhone users

    Hi new to apple have new phone t mobile as carrier. Can't send photos in messages to non iPhone users which is most of my friends. Please advise

    Unless your friends are using an iOS device with an active iMessage account set up on it, you can only use regular SMS texting and MMS through your cell service provider.
    In your message settings, you will need to have "send as sms" enabled, and have the slider for SMS/MMS set to "ON".  If it still does not work, then you need to contact T-Mobile and tell them your MMS service does not seem to be functioning properly.

  • My iphone wont send all texts to droid user

    Ok. You know how when 2 iphone/apple users are texting and both have the same software update with the Icloud that their conversation bubbles in the text message are grey and blue. Grey being what they sent you and Blue what you sent them. Furthermore, when you are texting a non-iphone/apple user the conversation bubbles are Grey*what they sent you* and Green*what you sent them*
    Now my fiance switched from her iphone 3gs to a Droid just 2 days ago.
    I have a 3gs as well and we have noticed if I or her friends using an Iphone send a text message to her and it shows up on our phones as a blue conversation bubble *as if she still has her iphone* she does not receive our texts. But if our phones send her a text and they come up as a green conversation bubble, she gets them..
    any idea on how to fix this to where all of our texts we send to her come up as a normal Green conversation bubble since she is no longer an iphone user.
    We are constantly busy and need to be in contact with each other.
    PLEASE HELP ASAP

    My husband has a new Droid (used to use an Iphone) and I have a new Iphone (used to have a 4, now have a 4S).  All texts I sent to him came back to my phone.  How we finally solved the problem:
    1) Turned out I'd registered my phone under his ICloud account.  I went onto the Apple site and registered an account with ICloud. 
    2) My husband unregistered his old Iphone per the above advice.
    3) I went into Settings - ICloud - and all the way at the bottom of that screen, selected "delete account" and deleted the account.
    4) Going back into ICloud, I re-registered under my new ID.
    5) We both rebooted our phones.
    Solved! 
    Hope that helps.

  • I can't send pictures to non iPhone users since the iOS 7 update

  • Iphone won't send texts to non-iphone users

    I woke up this morning and my iphone 4s will no longer send texts to non-iphone users.  I checked my SMS settings and they are fine.  I reset my network settings.  I restarted my phone.  Nothing is working.  I don't know how to fix this.  I can send imessages just fine.

    I checked my SMS settings and they are fine.
    The ONLY SMS settings is: Settings > Messages > Sends as SMS > ON.  Is that what you mean?
    Did you contact your carrier to confirm that SMS is still provisioned in your account?

  • Problem sending SMS to non iPhone users

    Hi!
    I have this problem when sending SMS to non iPhone users (BB users and simple phone users) they get the message in chunks... For example if I send one message with 131 characters they get the sms in 5 chunks, pieces...
    I deactivated the MMS feature (in case that was that) but the problem persists...
    Any ideas?

    I exchange SMS on a fairly regular basis with non-iPhone users - with those who are also AT&T subscribers and with those who are not, and this has never been reported to me by any non-iPhone user that I exchange messages with.
    Doubtful this is being caused by the iPhone. I suggest calling AT&T technical support to report this and be prepared to answer a question such as which carrier the non-iPhone users are with.

  • Why won't my iphone let me send pictures to non-iphone users?

    My iphone isn't letting me send pictures to non-iphone users. It will only let me send it to other people who have the iphone 4s and have imessage. Is there something wrong with my settings? Or is it a hardware issue?

    It's gotta be a hardware issue!! I'm having the same problem all of a sudden. Was able to send them before but not anymore. Have also had issues with an error message in sending Text Messages to non iOS 6 users. If I had it to do over again I'd never have switched to iPhone

    Are you provisioned by your carrier to use MMS?
    Is MMS turned on in message settings?

  • IPhone wont send email from a certain mail account

    I know the settings are right, but the iPhone wont send mail from one of my mail accounts (hosted by the company i work for, which offers mail hosting as a service, and has hundreds of other iPhone users with the same account settings.)
    The progress bar that indicates "sending" zips by suspiciously quickly when I hit Send, but there is no audio confirmation. Then the email is gone - its not in my Sent Items folder, and its not in the Drafts folder and its not in my broom closet.
    From what I understand, if one SMTP server isn't available, it should default to the AT&T SMTP server, but it apparently doesn't even get that far, because the phone must think it's sent the message, or it would end up in the Drafts folder (or Outbox, I can't recall), which is what I would normally experience if I had no service at the time I was sending the message. I have two other accounts that work normally on the iPhone. Nothing has been recently changed with the SMTP server in question, which works fine with all my other devices.
    I've tried:
    • deleting the account and re-adding it manually (four times)
    • deleting the account and syncing it with my computer (three times)
    • hard resetting the iPhone
    • ensuring that the primary SMTP server for this account is, in fact, switched to "On" in Settings->Mail, Contacts, and Calendars, <mail account>-->SMTP (which brings me to another question: how do I edit this list? Is it automatically populated by the accounts in my Mail app?
    • screaming from my back porch
    Ideas?
    Email Account type: IMAP
    Authentication type: MD5 with SSL
    Port: 587
    8GB 3G iPhone, Software version 2.2.1

    One thing that might help.
    If your primary server is hosted by your company, double check the outgoing settings.
    Host Name:
    Use SSL:
    Authentication:
    Server Port:
    If it zips through your primary server without effect, try turning the primary server off and one of the secondary on.
    If connected to Edge or 3G, you can use ATT's SMTP server.
    If issue still persists, then set up a gmail or yahoo account to test with.
    Both are free email services.
    If still fails, then general troubleshooting might help.
    Here are a couple of articles from the apple support website that might help out.

    You might need to reset and or restore the iphone to resolve any software issues.
