  • 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
    Keep us posted with the status of your issue.

  • 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,

    Most likely your carrier has not enabled texting on your phone.

  • Why won't my iphone 5 send picture messages

    So I had an iphone 4 which was configured to another network, a GSM network but now I have an iPhone 5 which is on AT&T's network. It seems that my iPhone 5 wont let me send picture messages unless its through imessage. Could this possibly be due to the network setting that were on my iPhone 4 ? if so how do i reverse this

    It shouldn't have anything to do with the iPhone 4 if your iPhone 5 has been activated properly.  You would've received a new sim since they use different size sim cards.  Try going to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.  This will give your phone a reboot and fix any network related issues.  Also, try going into Settings>Messages>Make sure MMS Messaging is turned ON. 

  • 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.

  • Message send failure when sending text message to none iPhones. Worked fine at apple store now not working for me again ( whether on wifi or cellular) what is wrong?

    Why am I getting message send failure from my iPad to a non-iPhone

    When I was in the Apple store on Friday with my iPad I asked the text the same question. we turned on my iPad and it allowed me to text text message anybody I wanted regardless of what the device. When I left apple store while I'm in the parking lot and I checked it again before I left the area and it still allowed me to text message anybody. Now it is not. And also I cannot email anybody from my iPad today to a non iPhone and that's wrong because until today I have been doing that for weeks. Hmmmm now what

  • Why can't I send picture messages on my iPhone 5 with Tmobile?

    Can't send a picture message (or send photo as a text message). The camera icon doesn't work in message mode, and there is no option to send photo as message in photo mode (but facebook, email, twitter, etc are all there). I've heard this is a problem with T Mobile, but they say it is a hardware issue. Anyone else with T-Mobile have this issue? how did you resolve?
    Thanks!

    T-Mobile in the US? They are not a supported carrier. There have been known issues with MMS messaging on T-Mobile going all the way back to the first iPhone someone took to their network.

  • Unable to send text messages to non iphone users

    i can only send messages to iphone users because of imessage.. why?

    Text messages rely on your cellular carrier's SMS system when going to non-iPhone users.  Contact your cellular carrier and make sure your plan includes SMS.

  • HT3529 can my daughter send text messages to non iphone users with only an apple id?

    Can you send a text message from ipod touch to non iphone users with only an apple id and no phone number?

    The Apple Messages app will only send Messages to another uses who has the Messages app on their iPod touch, iPad or iPhone. For Messsging an iPod touch or iPad you use the E-mail address they have in Settings>Messages>Send and Receive.  An Phone number will also be listed if they also have an iPhone with iOS 6 using the same Apple ID and yo can use the number.
    You can Message an iPhone by its phone number of the Apple ID email address listed in Settings>Messages>Send and Receive.

  • Is my iPad limited to iMessages? I can't seem to send text messages to non iPhone/iMessage users...grrrr

    Frustration is setting in after using my new mini iPad. My text messages seem to be limited to iMessages!?  Horrible since my friends and family are not all iphone users!  Is my iPad limited to iMessages? I cant text my daughter who has the Droid or others that don't have iMessage users!!!

    The phone number on the iPad is not active for cell voice, only for cellular data. You are not paying anything for voice or SMS (texting services) on your iPad, only for cell data. Texts to non-iOS devices would have to be SMS and use the cell voice system which is not present on your iPad.
    There are apps, such as TextFree, which will assign you a virtual phone number and allow you to emulate sending SMS messages from and to your iPad.
