IPhone won't send MMS

Hi(: I'm sorta new at this, but thought I'd take a shot. I recently bought an iPhone 4 off of eBay about 5m ago. Well it had been working fine, until now I tried I send a message to my boyfriend, who also has an iPhone with iMessage on, & it sent as a text message. So that part didnt to much bother me except I discovered it won't lemme send pictures through text( it says not delivered)
I've turned my phone off & back on
I'm connected to the Internet
I've made sure mms, iMessage, & cellular data is on
i don't want to reboot it please help

I have the same issue. And Lawrence, my account is provisioned correctly. Everything looks correct on the carrier side. This happened with iOS4 and still continues with the iOS5 upgrade. I received no help in the apple store so I hope there is some help on these boards. This is getting frustrating. I've never had a phone do this. I would like it to work so any info at this point would be great since I was sent packing from the store. Not very helpful.

Hey lozza567,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues sending MMS messages. The following resource may provide a solution:
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2755
Issues with sending and receiving MMS
You will need these to send and receive MMS:
- An iPhone 3G or later.
- iOS 3.1 or later.
- A cellular data connection. MMS isn't available if you are using only Wi-Fi.
- A domestic MMS plan from your cellular provider. You may need an international messaging plan to send MMS to an international contact. Contact your carrier for more information.
- A roaming MMS when using a cellular provider's network different from your billing cellular provider's network. Learn more about roaming and contact your carrier for more information.
To resolve issues with sending and receiving MMS, follow these steps first
1. Go to Settings and turn airplane mode off.
2. Go to Settings > Messages and turn MMS Messaging on.
3. Go to Settings > Cellular and turn Cellular Data on.
4. Go to Settings > Cellular and turn Data Roaming on if you are roaming on a cellular provider network different from your billing provider's network.
5. Verify that you have a cellular data connection in the status bar at the top left of your iPhone.
6. Go to Settings and turn Wi-Fi off. Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify that you have a data connection. Turn Wi-Fi back on to continue using Wi-Fi for other features. If your cellular data connection isn't available, follow these steps.
7. Verify that you can send and receive SMS. If you are unable to send and receive SMS, see the "Issues with sending and receiving SMS" section, above.
8. MMS may not be available while on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn more about which network your phone supports.
9. Restart your iPhone.
10. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
11. Reseat your SIM card.
If you are still unable to send or receive MMS, follow these steps
1. Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
2. Go to Settings > Messages and turn on group messaging if you are sending a group message.
3. Make sure that you are using the area code with the contact's phone number. When sending messages internationally, you also need the contact's international code.
4. Verify a "Pay as you go" MMS plan has enough available balance. Contact your carrier if unsure of your MMS plan or available balance.
5. 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.
6. If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and re-create the contact from the Contacts application. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
7. Back up and restore your iPhone as new.
8. If your carrier has recently ported your phone number, the porting process may not be complete. Contact your carrier to confirm that the porting process is complete.
9. Contact your carrier to verify that you are provisioned to send SMS and are in an area with cellular coverage.
10. Contact your carrier to verify that there are no blocks or filters placed on your wireless account preventing you from sending SMS.
11. Your carrier may require APN settings to be modified to use MMS. Learn more about when you should adjust APN settings.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Won't send mms since 5.0 update

My iphone 4 won't send mms since I updated it to the 5.0

Found the solution to my problem in another thread...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11633377#11633377
Essentially, I tracked down my CosmoPod installation and moved it to the desktop. My CosmoPod was in HD>Library>Input Managers, though others have found it in a folder called SIMBL in Application Support.

Revolution Won't Send MMS

My Revolution won't send MMS! I would like to fix this problem, but am unsure how. Please help.

Hello ediepenh,
Sending pictures is fun, creates memories, and is a big part of using our phones. If this did not work for me when using my phone, I would be upset and would want it corrected as soon as possible.
Thanks very much, Ann154, for your suggestion. Ediepenh, have you been able to send a picture since posting? Are you able to receive messages? To test your incoming and outgoing capabilities for picture messaging, please send a picture to your own mobile phone. If you receive the picture, you are able to both send and receive pictures.
If you are still having issues with this, please let me know by sending me a DM with your name, mobile number, and a contact nubmer to reach you. I will be happy to assist you further and provide you with a resolution.
Thanks!

IPhone won't send outgoing mail since upgrade to 5.0

iPhone won't send outgoing mail since upgrade to 5.0

I would manually go over each smtp setting and compare it with the mail providers guide
and if they were 100% the same then I would
get in touch with the phone company to verify if they were blocking the ports being
used by the mail service
there is no general issue with ios5 removing out going mail services or blocking ports

Iphone won't send mail - does receive

This seems to have been discussed ad nauseum, but I can't figure out the solution for me. I get the following message when trying to send or reply to emails "iphone won't send email a copy has been placed in your outbox. the sender address ______was rejected by the server". On wifi everything works, not when I am off though. My email provider is Roadrunner (.twcny.rr.com)
Everything was fine up until yesterday. I don't know what could have changed.....
Any help would be appreciated.
KR

I'm having same difficulty. Was on tech support this AM and they couldn't figure it out either. I'm setting up a home wifi in next few days, will be interested to see if situation changes. My iPhone seems convinced that I'm [email protected] and tries to originate email from that address, only to be rejected by server as you describe. I can receive email that is addressed to [email protected], but even replying to such mail gets the same error. I'm beginning to suspect an ios5 bug, or there's something else about authorizing email addresses than is covered in documentation.

I changed the password for my Apple ID and now my iPhone won't send my texts

I changed the password for my Apple ID and now my iPhone won't send out my texts....says they are undeliverable unless I send them out manually as texts.

Hi sbiermann,
If you have recently changed the password on your Apple ID account, you may need to manually sign out and sign back in to your Apple ID on your device for the change to take effect. You may find the following article helpful:

My 5s iphone won't send messages

Hi Laura2282,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like the iPhone is not sending messages. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Cheers,

Suddenly today, my iPhone won't send pictures to certain people...has worked fine until today.

Suddenly today, my iPhone won't send pictures to certain people...has worked fine until today. Sends fine to some but not to others. What's up?

Like any electronic item, it sometimes gets inexplicably balled up. The reset is no different than rebooting a computer that is acting hinky. If you don't have to do it often, then it is not anythign to worry about. (I know - not the kind of tech talk you were probably expecting, but the words selected are about as scientific as you can get concerning this type of weirdness....)

IPhone won't send iMessage (even when signed on Wi-FI or 3G)

My iPhone won't send iMessages even when I try to connect through Wi-Fi or 3G. At first I thought it was my Wi-Fi but it wasn't since I can connect to programs such as Safari and Instagram. I have also reset my network settings. Can someone help me or have any idea how I can fix this?
Thank you!

Phone is not jailbroken.
Got it re: passcode lock.
If I do a system restore, but I restore as a new phone, will my crucial phone functionality remain intact (phone number, ability to make calls, etc.)? And when it's restored, do I then just do a sync to have all my data brought back into the device?
Sync settings for calendar and contacts are enabled properly, and are the same as they have been for years. I'm not sure it's the calendar or contact data that is corrupted (although anything is possible) because the sync problems started happening exactly when the iMessage problems started happening.
Please advise on the system restore (not from backup) and I will post my results. Just wanna make sure I'm not doing anything irreparable.
Thanks...DG

8100 won't send mms

My 8100 won't send mms but can receive them, I'm on T-Mobile and I talked with customer service for over an hour they said they changed the mms settings or something but never sent it to my hand held. Does anyone know how to fix this?

1. Do you have a BlackBerry Data Plan on your account with Tmo?
2. Do this:
1. Options > Advanced > Host Routing Table > Menu > Register.
2. Resend your service books from your carrier BIS site.
From your handheld device: http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB15402
From your desktop PC: http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB02830
3. With the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot

Won't send MMS msg

I tried sending to a few buds and then tried sending individual, but the mms won't send. I'm sending a pic with text underneath. Anyone else having this problem? The same thing happened last week.

I also cannot send mms pics taken with my phone camera. iphone 4 with 32g mem. updated to v4 software. It has sent mms pics in the past when I was in a 3g service area. It will not send in a non 3g wireless area. I have cycled the power on and off. I'm assuming it will only work in a 3g service area?

Updated to 3.0, Won't send MMS messages?

I recently updated my iPhone to the 3.0 software and under my ROGERS iPhone value pack it tells me i get unlimited MMS messages but right now I am unable to send MMS messages. My phone tells me that it has sent them but 3 of my friends who all have iPhones with the 3.0 software are not recieving them, and they are getting error messages when they try to send them.
Help please?

You have to specify an mms apn under 'Cellular Data Network' in Settings, General, Network - you might also have to specify the mms proxy and mmsc, which you'll have to contact your provider to get. Alternately I believe it's possible to find the information for MMS setup with Rogers on the internet, just google it(tm).
I should mention though that I believe I've found a bug (detailed in another of my posts, see http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2047179) which renders internet tethering unavailable if mms apn isn't the same as cellular data apn.

IPhone 5s not sending MMS?

Today I noticed that my iPhone 5s is not sending MMS(picture messages) to other phones. Through imessage, it sends them fine. However, if I send it to someone with an android device or outside of imessage, it'll say "message failed to deliver". I upgraded to iOS 8 yesterday so maybe that was it?

Sending MMS is a carrier feature. You'll have to deal with Verizon.
