IPhone MMS messages

I just bought a new iphone 3GS and found out that I cannot send or receive pictures in my text messages as I could do with my previous provider. The website video says that I should be able to send and receive pictures via MMS, but I do not seem to be able to have this option when I open a pic from my phone. It will let me email them, but that is not what I wish to do. Can anyone help me.

According to a MacWorld article: "Later this summer, as part of the 3.0 software, AT&T will make multimedia messaging (MMS) available at no extra cost to customers with a text messaging bundle." http://www.macworld.com/article/141155/2009/06/attmms_will_be_available_at_no_extra_cost_if_you_havetext.html
It's included with OS 3.0, but not activated until available from AT&T.
"Turn MMS messaging on or off:
In Settings, tap Messages, then tap MMS Messaging to turn it on or off. You may want to turn MMS Messaging off, for example, to prevent sending or receiving attachments when fees apply.
NOTE: The MMS Messaging setting doesn’t appear if MMS isn’t supported by your carrier."

  • Failure sending Iphone MMS internationally

    I have the Iphone 3G 3.1. I have yet to been able to send MMS messages overseas from the US. (More specifically to the Philippines) I have been on the phone with AT&T and Apple technical support. So far; no luck. I can send and receive MMS fine here in the US. Oddly enough, I can receive MMS from my friends in the Philippines. Again, for some reason, my MMS do not make it through to them even though it shows as being sent from my phone.
    Prior to my Iphone, I had the LG Shine through AT&T and I had no problems sending or receiving MMS stateside or overseas.
    Is anyone else out there having this problem or even tried to send an MMS internationally? I am attaching a blog from another Iphone user that is apparently having problems trying to send his MMS to the UK.
    http://appmodo.com/5057/international-iphone-mms-fail/
    Is Apple or AT&T blocking outgoing MMS to overseas phones? Is Iphone MMS messaging restricted to only stateside? Can anyone help?

    According to this: http://www.wireless.att.com/learn/messaging-internet/messaging/international.jsp
    it should work. I don't know why they aren't going through. Sorry I can't offer more help. I would continue working with AT&T customer service until you get a resolution.

  • MMS messages sent from iPhones on my Blackberry iMac

    Here is a question I can not recieve MMS messages on my iMac because I have a Blackberry Q10 and not an iPhone.
    In iMac Messages you can add an account but I can not figure out how to add BBM account to the iMac.
    Under accounts types it only allow an AIM type account which puts me into AOL.  Has anyone been able to make a Blackberry work with BBM on a Mac.

    If I understand your question correctly, you wish to receive BBM messages on your iMac. Is that correct? If that's what you're asking, currently BBM messages can be viewed only on a phone (BlackBerry, Android and iOS). Will BBM messages be accessible via a PC or Mac someday? Maybe yes, maybe no but at this point it's phones only.
    I hope that answers your question.

  • Receiving MMS messages on the iPhone

    It is really very cumbersome to be directed to an internet site to retreive MMS messages sent to my iPhone. Is Apple working a fix for this that will allow the phone to receive MMS messages. While they are working on that, I hope, why not add a video recording capability MPEG to the phone as well.

    Hi, I have some advice. I myself greatly missed MMS when I bought my iPhone, (but I knew beforehand, I just bought it anyway because the pro's outweighed the cons...) but I found a workaround. Cellphones all use an email-type delivery for SMS and MMS messages. So based on this knowledge, you can send an email to a cell phone and they will receive it as if it were a text. You have to use a special email address though. Supposing their number was (888)777-6666 this would be the email addresses for 5 of the main carriers in the US:
    AT&T: [email protected]
    Sprint: [email protected]
    T-Mobile: [email protected]
    Verizon: [email protected]
    Virgin Mobile: [email protected]
    The trick here is remembering what all these are when you need them, so here's a solution to that problem as well. Add a second email address (corrosponding with the list above based on their service provider) to the contacts that you use this feature with. Then whenever you want to send a picture, just send it like an email but use the special address for their cell phone and they will recieve it! Unlimited usage! And I'm not positive about all companies, but I know T-Mobile customers can sent an MMS to your email address and you will receive it as an email!
    I hope this helped! Get back to me if you have any questions or problems.

    @Dmitriy Buldakov, have you found the solution to the issue yet? I have the same problem, no option to turn on MMS in my iPhone settings. I checked the settings on my friend's iPhone, which has the same iOS version as me (8.1.1), and the option is there. It's really annoying...

  • How can i change the settings on my iphone 3g, so that i can receive MMS messages instead of the stupid "media file bs..?"

    how can i change the settings on my iphone 3g, so that i can receive any picture from any contact?

    Settings > Messages > MMS Messaging > ON
    This also requires that you and the other parties have MMS messaging enabled in your cell plan.  Also, some carriers have restrictions as to the size of the file (picture) that can be sent/received.

  • HT4623 Why can't I send MMS messages on IOS 7.0.2 from my Iphone 4s on Straight Talk?

    After upgrading my Iphone 4S to IOS 7.0.2 I no longer can send MMS messages.  I have already reset the network settings several times.  This is very anowing and I have lost sales because of it. 

    Ask straight talk why you can't send MMS - since it is a carrier feature.
    are you provisioned to use MMS?  Do you have MMS turned ON.

  • TS2755 I carnt receive mms messages on my iPhone 4 on 02 paygo

    I carnt receive mms messages on my iPhone 4 on 02 paygo

    I can't send MMS on iPhone 4s/O2.
    Spoke to (online chat) "O2 Guru" who told me it was a problem with all Apple.
    Had Max done this, he would have received the same reply and would be on here (as I am) rather than writing to O2.
    Anyway, these are user forums - not "writing to Apple" where users can share their experiences and, hopefully, solutions.
    Any ideas anyone?

  • Since moving my iPhone 4S with iOS 7.0.4 to straight talk I cannot send or receive mms messages. How can I fix that?

    Help me please... Since moving my iPhone 4S with iOS 7.0.4 to straight talk I cannot send or receive mms messages. How can I fix that?

    Since Straight Talk, using a GSM iPhone is not "officially" supported, you're gonna have to configure the APN settings manually. Go here:

    This site is a collection of APN setting for unsupported GSM carriers. This is a good place to get the correct settings for your phone.

  • I don't have a 3G so i use Sms/Mms messaging when i have wifi. My co'iphone users receive my text messages but i cant receive theirs because it sends as an imessage. HELP thanks

    I Don't have a 3G on my iphone 4. So when i dont have a wifi, i send text through SMS/MMS messaging. I can receive and send SMS/MMS messages to non iphone users. I can also send the same messages to my co iphone users but i cant receive theirs because it sends as imessage. someone help me pls. Thnks

    The only way to get around that, since you do not have a data plan, is to completely disable iMessage. While you can turn on the switch for Send As SMS on, which could send your messages as SMS when not connected to Wi-Fi and data is not turned on, it could also find your messages lost in the server and never delivered. Also, anyone sending to you would have to be set up the same way. You can check out this support document for deactivating iMessage. iOS: Deactivating iMessage
    iMessage requires an active data connection for both the sender and receiver to work properly.

  • I upgraded my iphone and now I don't receive MMS messages

    Does anyone know if there are settings I need to change to receive MMS messages again after the update I did last week?

    Check that MMS is still turned on in Settings > Messages > Enable MMS.
    Have you tried sending one since the update? If you can't send either, does it come up with a red exclamation mark next to the message.
    Is it specific people that can't send to you, or everyone?
    Which update did you get (you can check this in Settings > General > About).

  • What is the max number of SMS & MMS messages that the iphone can store?

    iOS currently has a limit of 100 phone calls that can be stored in the call log. Is there a similar limit for SMS or MMS messages? If so, what it is? Where is this documented?

    When you run out of space.   Each phone is different, and it would depend on how many apps and how much music (if any) you have installed.
