Have you contacted your carrier to make sure there's no issues with your account?

Why can't my iPhone 5 send or receive photos from non iPhone users?

Why can't my iPhone 5 send or receive photos from non iPhone users?

Hello GoldenStarZ,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I see that you're unable to send picture messages to non-iOS devices. These messages are called MMS, and in order to troubleshoot the issue please follow the steps in the article below.

I can not send or receive pictures from non iphone devices

I have tried to send pictures to my boyfriends phone (he doesnt have an Iphone) and they wont complete the sending process. I have unlimited messaging with picture messaging as well so I know its not my provider. The cellular data option is on. My MMS and SMS options are on. I also can not receive the pictures he tries to send me. Can someone please help me figure out why this is happening and how I can fix it?

That's definitely strange, bigbadscharfy. We're here to help get all texts coming and going. Let's start w/ the basics! Have you checked under Settings>Messages> Is Send as SMS checked on? This can help send out messages as regular texts and not iMessages. Do you receive any error messages when the texts dont go out or receive?

Don't use ALL CAPS on post, online means you are SHOUTING and is very RUDE.
SMS is a carrier service, talk to your carrier.

Can't receive SMS texts from non-iPhone users

My phone suddenly stopped letting me receive texts from non iPhone users yesterday. Since then, I have powered my phone on and off, reset the network, and power cycle. My mother has been in the hospital and I have to be here with her all day. I have no time to go to a verizon store. I've only had the phone a week and I'm really disappointed with this. Seeing my mom is in the hospital, I really need this to be working, but I'd don't even know of something else to try.

Ktoole, I can understand how frustrating this could be. How long has this been an issue? Have you ever been able to receive texts from non-iPhone users? Do you have iMessage on or off? Have you tried to restore the phone through iTunes?

Why can't iPad mini send text to non apple users????? I wish I knew this before purchase

Why can't iPad mini send text to non apple users????? I wish I knew this before purchase

iMessage is from Apple to communicate with other Apple devices.
iPad is not a phone and does not have SMS/MMS services from a carrier. There are apps that can do this, search the App Store.

Not receiving texts from non-iOS users

I upgraded to iOS7 and am not receiving text messages from non-iOS users. Unlike the iOS bug reported in the news which affects imessage, my phone seems not to be getting or sending texts to anyone on Android or Blackberry.
I tried rebooting the phone a few times and reset the network settings, the problem persists.
Is there a fix for this?

Can't receive text messages from other iphone users but can receive them from non-iphone users

I had to recently reinstall mavericks to my MacBook and suddenly I haven't been able to receive text messages from iphone users on my iphone. I can send them but not receive them. Recently I was able to receive a text from an iphone user who turned off his imessages before he texted me. That came through. Of course, this would be difficult to ask every iphone user i know to turn off imessages in order text me. I've also tried to turn off my imessage on my macbook, iphone and ipad and still can't receive them. Lastly, I've also tried resetting my networking settings and that didn't help either. Any suggestions???

I am having the same problem minus the fact that I don't have a Mac computer I just can't receive any messages from iPhone users and I can't turn my iMessage back on at all it keeps just turning it off every time I try to turn it on. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Do you need to be constantly connected to wifi or 3G to receive texts from another apple user using iMessage?

Do you need to be constantly connected to wifi or 3G to receive texts from another apple phone user who is using iMessage?

No.
Much as a missed call while not connected goes to voicemail, a missed text or iMessage while not connected will wait until you are connected, then be delivered.
There is one exception, however. Many cellular carriers do not support iMessage. So if you are connected by cellular signal and not WiFi, you will receive the message as an SMS text message using your cellular carrier.

HT201222 Cannot receive texts from non-iPhone users

I have followed every instruction regarding text messages not being received. Non-Apple users texts are not reaching me.

Contact your carrier. SMS/MMS messaging is a carrier feature.

No texts from non-iphone users

I can't receive text messages from non-iphone users, but they can receive my messages. I can get their phone calls. Can anyone help me out? This started later today.

Go to Settings>Messages and then make sure that Send as SMS, AND MMS Messaging is on. Some times it helps to have cellular data on as well. If this doesn't work, and it most likely is is a service problem. Contact them Immedality to get this fixed.

IPad with wifi only cannot send sms or mms to non apple users. Operating system is 8.1.3

I am using an iPad 2 with iOS 8.1.3. I was told that with this operating system, I would be able to send sms or mms to non-iso users. I was able to do so when I originally upgraded to 8.1.3, but am no longer able to send. The person's name comes up in red and there is an exclamation point.

An iPad cannot natively send an SMS. The SMS text protocol sends its data within the voice channel spectrum of a cell phone voice connection. So, only a cell phone can actually send SMS texts, and only over a cellular voice connection.
If you were doing it before, you must have been using an app. There are apps that will allow you to send SMS texts via cellular providers SMS-email gateways, e.g. as an email to [email protected]

Used email to text from non-Apple account on a PC, recipient's reply went to my iMessage. She just responded to what I sent.

I'm at a loss on how to troubleshoot this. It's a big deal because this is a client and prompt communication is key - hard to do when replies are heading off to wherever.
The original email was sent from an AOL account on my desktop. The recipient was entered as [email protected], the from was my non-Apple email address. Her response showed up only on my phone as an iMessage, and she is certain that all she did was reply to my text.
What do I even check in this case? Is there a setting on her phone that might cause this? I don't have her phone specs available, unfortunately.

It is confusing!
The original message went from my email account ([email protected]) to the recipient [email protected] Our office frequently uses this method to send text messages to clients.
She hit reply to that message, and instead of going back to the orignating address (which is typical, we do this all the time), it went to iMessage - even though my iPhone had not been in any way involved in the exchange.
I just disassociated my email address from iMessage using the directions you gave. I believe that should fix the problem.
Thanks for your assistance!

IPhone can't send/receive photo texts from non-iPhone users

I've noticed a lot of other people with this same problem and so far nobody has a solution. I've tried resetting my iPhone 4 and was on the phone for an hour with AT&T last night to see if it was a problem on their end as someone else had mentioned. Nope. Basically, I can't receive any photos through text messaging (MMS) and I can't send any photos through text messaging with anyone who doesn't have an iphone. I used to be able to. Not anymore. Doesn't matter if I'm on wi-fi or cellular. I've checked to make sure I've got MMS on. I do. I've reset network settings, we've even switched radio towers to try that. Nothing.
Can someone help?

I'm with AT&T IOS 6 and have no issue with MMS.
if that link doesn't help, call AT&T back and talk to a supervisor, as messaging is carrier related. Also make sure you have MMS turned on.

IPhone6 is not sending or receiving texts from non-Apple users, except when in Group texts. I've tried the various fixes on the main support page to no avail. Any ideas?
