    Yes, I already talked about this to my carrier. Do you think it doesn't have any problem with the phone?

  • Message Send Failure - Only in one location

    When sending MMS to ANYONE in my home town, It never goes through and results in a "Message Send Failure". Every once in a while it MIGHT work. I have full bars.. in fact, I can see the tower from my back yard with a clear line of sight. it's right next to my house. But it's only in this location. If i drive 10 mins down the road into the next town, where they have 3G... the picture goes through no problem. I can be in that other town, turn off 3G and just be on Edge.. and still.. the message and picture go right through.
    Is this possibly a problem with the tower in my back yard? All my calls are crystal clear... just data seems to stink. I can surf the web rather slowly.. but all my text messages that have Multimedia attached never work. And this is with every OS version since the 3gs was released.

    any help here, friends?

  • TS2755 Receiving "Message Send Failure" notification, but messages are going through?

    For the past few days, I have been receiving a "Message Send Failure" after every iMessage that I send. The messages are going through, but I still receive the notification every time. I have restarted my phone, signed out of and back into iMessage, and reset my network settings. Nothing seems to be working. Anyone have a solution? I'm having the same problem on my iPad, which leads me to believe it's a problem with iMessage at large as opposed to a device problem. Thanks!

    If you have others that are receiving your imessaging  but not the group you are attempting to send to then do this:
    Click on your text messaging area using imessaging enabled and then type a message to yourself. Do this test to verify that your imessaging apple server is working properly. IF you get the messsage back to you in BLUE this indicates to you that both the outgoing and incoming text messaging is working as imessaging. With this piece of information verified that will indicate there are connectivity issues with individuals or all that are a part of the group you are attempting to contact. Please do not conclude that at a point in time this communication worked via imessaging that there may be some in the group that are now having conectiviity issues of their own.
    Good luck, Friend.

    "iMessage allows users to send texts, photos, videos, contact information, and group messages over Wi-Fi or 3G to other iOS 5 users, thus providing an alternative to standard SMS messaging for all users with devices running iOS 5."
    This is what it is and what it does. You both have to have iOS 5 installed on your supported device. If that's not what your setup is, then that's your answer.

  • "Message Send Failure" keeps popping up over and over again

    I read in Lifehacker that you can send a text to an email address just by putting the email address into the number field. So I thought I'd test it out.
    I started to type the email address and it appeared in the selections above. So I tapped the email I wanted and it said it was being sent as an MMS. Okay, no problem there. So I sent "Test". But it didn't go through. Okay, nevermind.
    Except now a "Message Send Failure" pop up appears every few minutes. No matter what I do I can't get it to stop. I turned off MMS messaging. I rebooted the phone. I'm at a loss and about to throw it out a window!
    Any thoughts?

    it should work. it will show up in your email as your phone number with no dashes @mms.att.net
    Just did it a few minutes ago to show how you can send your Text messages to an email to print out. Not the greatest way to do it but it works.
    As for the message send failure. Try deleting it like the other person said. Check you email app to make sure it isn't sitting in your outbox trying to go out. That is the only other thing I can think of.

  • Message send failure on iPad and iPhone

    I can send texts from my iPhone 4 and my ipad but I keep getting message send failure.  But the recipient actually receives and responds to the text.  What is causing this problem and how do I fix?

  • Reasons for "Message Send Failure"?

    Today my MMS stopped working. Every time I try to send a photo, the progress bars loads until it's almost full but then I get a "Message Send Failure" notice. Regular texts and call go through just fine though. I'm hoping that maybe it's just AT&T's network? Could it be a more serious problem?

    If you can send/receive SMS's but not MMS's, 99.9% of the time the problem rests with your carrier, so contact AT&T.

  • SMS message send failure

    Trying to text yet every text sent says message send failure.
    This is despite the recipient actually getting some of them.
    I've tried turning off and on, going to airplane mode, changing carrier to manual.
    It's very frustrating!
    Please help!

    Do you have wifi calling switched on ? If so this is the reason. Wifi calling has issues with text messages sending.

  • My 3GS is responding MESSAGE SEND FAILURE when I attach n send photos. Why? And how do I fix it?

    Just started getting a MESSAGE SEND FAILURE response when I attach n send a photo with my texts. Why? How do I fix it?

    Did you try what was suggested on that page i.e. disconnecting the iPad from your computer and turning the iPad off (press and hold the sleep/wake button until the red 'slide to power off' appears on screen and slide that) and then back on ?
    And if the backup doesn't work after that then try a soft-reset instead of the off and on : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • In the past month or so my iPhone 5 battery is dying in hours, whereas it used to last all day at least.  Also, I am getting constant "message send failures" when texting and frequent dropped phone calls.

    Just recently my Iphone 5 battery is dying in a just a few hours, it used to last all day or more.  I'm not doing anything different with it, although I have started shutting down apps etc. to conserve battery.  I get constant "message send failures and frequently dropped phone calls. 

    My best bet would be to restore the phone. Back it up to itunes, and then reset it Factory settings. This way, any corrupt software will be removed, and you can start fresh. Make sure you back it up first. By the sounds of it, you are using the phone for business and probably need the data from it. Hope this helps!

  • IMessage message send failure

    Btw it's the built in iMessege app you get when you update to ios 5 not the other one where you have to download from the app store

  • I can't send texts to some contacts in my iphone 4s. This is a recent problem, as previously all texts would send. The red exclamation mark appears and 'not 'delivered' shows on screen.

    First time I've used this discussion forum, so may be posting problem twice! I can't send texts to some contacts in my iphone 4s. This is a recent problem, as previously I could send texts whenever I wanted. The exclamation mark and "not delivered' shows on screen when I ry and text certain people. I know for a fact that my number is not blocked by the receipients?

    I've just realised, further to my earlier question - that the people I am trying to text do not have Iphones? Could this make a difference? (Although I have text them in the past)
