MMS Send Failure

I have read and tried many of the suggestions in this forum, to no avail. It has now been about a week and I still can't send MMS messages from my iPhone (I have never been able to do so). It starts sending, holds up at about the 95% mark, then I get the wonderful RED EXCLAMATION POINT. I can send normal text messages just fine. Here's what I've done:
- Restored my iPhone without using the backup
- Re-installed iPhone 3.1
- Reset my network settings
- Re-installed Carrier settings: 5.5
- Called AT&T to verify the IMEI number is correct
- Verified that I'm not on a family plan and that I have messaging: 1500
- Gone to an AT&T store to have them remove messaging and re-apply it
- Gone to an AT&T store to have them replace the SIM card
Nothing has worked. AT&T says it's an Apple problem. Apple says it's an AT&T problem. I now have an appointment at the Apple Store. I'm really at a loss at this point. Any other suggestions?
Thanks!
Thomas

I'm in exactly the same situation as you. I called AT&T tech support three times, they told me that there is a problem with their system. They had my old 2g iphone listed in the back system and 3GS in their other systems, they told me this is the cause of the problem. They can't correct the problem because AT&T's systems are not communicating properly now and it will be a few more days before they can fix it. will they ever learn? I'm angry about the experience.

IMessage mms send failure

I have an iPod Touch 4th Gen with iOS5. When I first updated my iPod iMessage worked fine but lately, everytime I try to send a message and the send bar at the top is almost full, it stops and says message not delivered. I've tried everything including turning iMessage on and off a few times, switching my ipod off and turning it back on again, making sure my Apple ID is valid and iMessage still won't work. I can't receive messages either. Is this happening to anybody else? And how might I be able to fix this problem?
Thankyou kindly

And another symptom: Tonight when iMessaging with a friend who has an iPhone 4s, all of my messages between she and I except for two disappeared - my most recent response to her, and the single text message rather than iMessage that has passed between us. I don't know what's up with that either. Thoughts, anyone?

MMS Message Send Failure

Well the topic pretty much explains the problem. Whenever I try to send a MMS Message, whether it be an existing photo or one just taken by the camera, the message will look like it's about to send, but right when it's on its way the error icon will pop up and I'll get a "Message Send Failure".

Could this have anything to do with the fact that I've been using the 1st Gen since it came out and AT&T might not have activated my MMS features?

MMS "message sending failure"

Hi All,
I have a sudden problem with my 3G iphone,, It started two days ago my i phone stopped sending a mms , every time I send a picture it makes an error & the icon "message sending failure" appears..I tried to restart the i phone , I checked the i phone network & everything seems okay but still I can't send a mms!!!
thank you

I tried that. Didn't work. Picture still won't send. I also find that if I try to email the picture instead, it won't send that either. Normal emails and texts with NO picture included go through just fine. Any suggestions?

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?

"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.

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.

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!

Intermittent send failures in Outlook 2011 for MAC

Ever since Verizon changed its POP server settings, I am getting intermittent send failures from MS Outlook for MAC 2011 even though I made the correct port changes and SSL options in Outlook 2011. Everywhere I look for assistance, including Microsoft, Apple and Verizon, no one has found anything wrong other than Microsoft suspects that Verizon's server doesn't like too many logins and passwords in a set period of time. Apparently, every email that is sent, sends a User Name and Password to Verizon's server. MS suspects that the server doesn't like that and rejects messages within a certain time period. Furthermore, I cannot find any Verizon support for Outlook 2011 for the MAC! Once again this is "intermittent" such as 4 messages will go and then the 5th will not. If I leave it in the outbox, it will eventually send. I'm not sure that MS's theory is fully correct because sometimes I get the send failures on the first message sent. The error message says, "Outlook cannot find the server etc." "Error Code: 3170". All incoming messages come into Outlook 2011 correctly. Does Verizon support Outlook 2011 for the MAC?

I had the same issue. After talking to a Verizon FIOS technician from thier techinical support center, he said that no changes are needed for Outlook for Mac. That means the settings should be:
Incoming server: incoming.verizon.net
Incoming port: 110
Use SSL to connect: UNCHECKED
Outgoing server: outgoing.verizon.net
Outgoing port: 25
Use SSL to connect: UNCHECKED
Hope that helps others not waste an hour searching Verizon's website and trying to navigate their massive phone tree to actually speak to a technician.

"Sending Failure". Can't send, forward or reply to email with attachments or pictures

IMessage message send failure

Whenever I try to send a message on Imessege the blue bar stops at about 90% and then says message send failure. I have an iPod touch 3rd gen iOS 5 so I don't use 3G. HELP ME!!!!!!!! Any ideas!!!!!!!!??

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

Everytime i try and send a message to my boyfriend through imessage on my ipad, it says "Message send failure" but all of the messages are coming in through my email, i hate texting my boyfriend through my email. So can someone help me, please.

"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.

Why do i keep getting "Message Send Failure" every time I send pictures on iMessage? All are sent to other iPhone/iPad users.

For a few months now, I've been getting "Message Send Failure" every time I send pictures to other Apple devices (iPhones, iPads, Macs), despite the recipient receiving them. So, even though the pictures are going through, the "Message Send Failure" notice keeps showing up. I checked with other people who have Apple devices and they also encountered the same issue whenever they send pictures (usually send an email to make sure it was received). I thought when iOS 7.1.1 came out that it would fix this issue. Has anyone else encountered the same issue? Thanks!

I started getting the error on my iPhone 5 (iOS 7.1.x) several weeks ago - if not a month ago. Today I finally decided to run through a wholesale sign-out/sign-in process on all my devices (iMac, MacBook, iPad 1, iPad 3 and iPhone5) and it worked!
I signed out of iMessage/Messages on all devices. I also deleted my iCloud accounts on all my devices (make sure you tell the software to keep local copies when you are prompted - relax, it all stays in the cloud, too) Then I signed back in to iMessage/Messages and then re-added iCloud accounts all around. I just sent a message with a photo attachment and did not get the "Not Delivered" message - yay!
(FYI - even though I received the error every time I sent a message with an image attachment, the message still went through - very, very happy, though to finally get rid of the message...)

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.
