Multimedia Messaging Help

Does a message sent to a group of people class as a mms or as multiple texts? I have unlimited texts but don't want to send mms . Also does it cost to have a delivery report ?

Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
When you add several people to send a text message with the pre installed messaging application, it will be sent as multiple text messages. If you attach a photo for example, then it will be sent as different MMS to each person.
For some operators in different countries, there can be a cost to use the delivery report. You would do best by contacting your operator to see if they will charge you for this.

moedl2011, thanks for those details. Did you have a chance to delete all unwanted text messages on your device and power it off/on?

Group Messaging Help!!

Ok so I recently got an iPhone 4s and I'm having trouble with the group messaging system. On my old phone (HTC 7 Pro, windows phone) I would keep getting individual messages from people in a group text that I have been added in. The only difference in the message was it always said, NEW MULTIMEDIA MESSAGE whenever someone in the group sent something. I would think that once I got an iPhone these issues would disappear, unfortunatly the didn't.
On my new iPhone, it got the old group message I was in correct (the one I was added on with my old phone), but once again, whenever someone creates a new group text and adds me to it, I get the seperate messages which say MULTIMEDIA MESSAGE. I can create group messages and have them work as intended but when someone else creates it and adds me to it, I can't do anything.
This is quite annoying because I can't send anything in the group text at all since it never registers me in the group text. I can only read the messages sent but in the messages folder, it always puts the group message from someone into the single contact message but states NEW MULTIMEDIA MESSAGE.
Any help would be much appreciated!! FYI I have MMS messaging and group messaging enabled. I have imessage enabled and SMS messaging enabled. I turned off read receipts. Only thing that might hinder my chance at it registering the group message would be that I didn't have group messaging enabled when I was added to the group message but I've later turned it on. Plus one of my family members says that they didn't have group messaging enabled but they still receive them correctly.

I should mention that the person who created this group chat has an android phone but everyone else in the group chat has an iPhone. Everyone in the group chat says this group messaging works fine but I seem to be the only one with the problem. All I want is for this to work like a normal group chat so I can see all the responses in one group and be able to reply so that all can see.
If I reply to the individual contact where I got the group message, it automatically converts that to whatever form of messaging needed and only sends that person the text.

Question about image size of multimedia messaging!

Is there any way to send the images of original size . I mean when your select large size in settings still the picture is resized 240*180 . isn't there anyway to send images of size 640*480 ?? by mms
i want to send images of their original size ...
Please kidnly help me !!!!

It depends on two things: The phone model and whether the operator's MMSC allows it (or has a size limit).
On S60 based devices like then N73 or others, you can open the "Messaging" app, hit "Options", select "Settings", then "Multimedia message" and change "Image size" to "Original".
This won't help if the operator's servers then reformats the image, or refuses to send it alltoghether because it is too big.
And, of course, even if you get past both your own phone's limitations and the operator's networks, the recipient's device must also be able to handle it.
If you want guaranteed delivery of original, unmodified images, use email instead of MMS.

Lost with 7250i multimedia message backup :(

Hi there,
I've jst signed up as i promised i'd backup my misses phone before she goes travelling.
I went to the nokia 7250i page and downloaded the latest pc suite.
But I cannot find a way to view or backup mms? strange! looked at every option.
Also doesn't appear to be an option to view files and messages while the phone is not connected.
I have done a normal backup but don't know if that includes mms.
Can you help with any of these 3?? She leaves tommorow!

Thanks Sandy,
I have done that. I backed up messages but it doesn't give you a breakdown to say 156 text messages and 10 mms backed up or anything like that.
I wasn't sure that mms had backed up as they don't show in the Nokia PC Suite Messages section where you should be able to create and send text and multimedia messages. Only text messages show up there. No MMS.
Maybe I just have to forward mms to another phone.
Thought this would be easy lol.
I use a third party software years ago which came with usb infra red dongle - and it backed up and made messages, images and sounds etc available to view and upload to other phones with out the original present BUT I can't remember what it's called now. Not as pretty as nokia pc suite but seems to work better.lol
Ideas anyone?
Thanks

3G iPhone & Multimedia Messaging

Does anyone know if the 3G iPhone will be a hardware upgrade or a software upgrade. I haven't bought an iPhone yet because I want the 3G one, but if its just a software upgrade then I can buy it now and wait for the update. Also a friend of mine who does have an iPhone doesn't get any of her multimedia messages to her phone she can only access then through her email. The people at AT&T say that it's because Apple didn't make the iPhone able to recieve the multimedia messages. Is that going to be addressed with an update as well or will that never change?

Does anyone know if the 3G iPhone will be a hardware upgrade or a software upgrade.
Hardware related which will require a new purchase. You can't turn a non-3G radio into a 3G radio with a firmware/software update.
The iPhone does not support MMS with the existing SMS client at the present time and my never support this. This is a user to user help forum only so no one here knows what Apple has planned for future updates or with a new iPhone model - except for the next generation iPhone will be 3G which was announced by Apple and AT&T. If someone here is privileged to any such information that has not been officially announced by Apple, they aren't allowed to say.
The only thing we know is the 3G iPhone will be available sometime in 2008 which could mean just before Xmas or earlier or this could be delayed until 2009 for all we know.
Do you live in an area where AT&T has 3G network access?

I can't receive or send multimedia messages

Every time I get a picture message or try to send one, I get an error message saying that multimedia message failed. When I go to my online account, it says that my multimedia messages is unblocked. So what am I missing? Yes I have rebooted my phone and stuff and called that service number when I upgraded my phone. Also I have a basic phone (pantech Jest 2, love the phone).

Can't receive multimedia messages

I have never been able to send or receive multimedia messages in the city where I live. I know that it is not my plan preventing me from receiving media messages because I can get them when I am in another city. I live in an area that is under extended network, so I had assumed it was because of the extended network that I couldn't send and receive them. But, my friends and family who also have verizon, and some of them have the exact same phone that I do, can send and receive media messages with no problem. They can be sitting right next to me, with the exact same phone and same type of plan, and receive picture messages when I can't. Does anyone know how to fix this? I've tried updating my towers, but I can only do that when I'm in a bigger city...it won't let me do it from my house. Help!

Hello Mcsomething,
I understand your frustration with using the multimedia messaging services on your phone. I would feel the same way. I am more than happy to assist you with this concern and provide a resolution. I have sent you a private message, and once I receive a reply, I will be able to reach out to you personally for troubleshooting.
Thank you!

N70 hangs during "Updating" Multimedia Messages

I am running WindowsXPsp2, using PC Suite 6.84 on a Toshiba TECRA laptop. I am connecting to a N70 m/phone using a USB cable.
Problem:
When I click on the "Contacts" or "Messages" icon within PC Suite a new "Updating" window opens that shows the progress of synchronisation between phone and laptop but hangs (locks-up) during the sync of Multimedia Messages.

Yes :-).
The problem is fixed by removing the "MMS Sync" applic from the phone. I can now upload SMS messages from my phone to my Laptop.
FYI. I re-installed "MMS Sync" applic on the phone and the problem re-appeared. It would appear there is a problem with the "MMS Sync" applic..??
thanks for your help.

Multimedia messages

Is there any way to retrieve your multimedia messages after you have deleted the text that has the code inside.

Do you have an active plan from your Operator to use this service ? If not.. get it activated and request them to send the settings. Normally these will be sent thru' SMS.. Open and SAVE.. Now you shold be able to do what you want..
P.S...Always provide your Device details to get better help..

Can I disable multimedia messages?

I only recently began receiving multimedia text (?) messages on my old, old, old basic cell phone. Then I got my bill, and am being charged $0.25 each for them (compared to $0.10 for plain text messages). My volume is so low, that $0.10 makes sense for me, but these new multimedia text messages are aggravating because they aren't even really multimedia -- they're just text messages that are being e-mailed to me and at least one other number/address, and so somehow they're being turned into multimedia messages.
Can I somehow just not accept them? Not download them (and then not be charged)? I can't get my friends who are sending them to me to understand the implications of what they are doing so that they'll stop, so I need to be able to do something on my end so that I'm not charged for each one they send me.
(And WHY is Verizon turning these text messages into multimedia messages anyway, then they're NOT?!)
Help!

Verizon defines a multimedia message as:
Multimedia Messaging allows you to do all of the following:
Send picture and video messages that include sound.
Send messages to multiple people at once.
Attach an address to your message. The address could be your location, or a point of interest, like a store or restaurant.
Attach a vCard.
You can block them via your MyVerizon on-line account or by calling Customer Service.

Droid Razr Maxx Multimedia messages

For the past couple of week, my droid razr maxx has started not to allow me to respond or send anything that is considered a multimedia message. At all. This is extremely frustrating. I'm a college student and often use this as a way to contact my parents, friends, and classmates. My phone is up to date and I have both Wifi and my data plan turned on. I can receive multimedia messages just fine; however, I cannot send or reply to them.
Can anyone help me? I haven't even had this phone for a year and this is just the latest problem I'm having. My sister and mom have this phone as well and they're having no problems whatsoever.

I know it's very important to have an operable device to communicate rcripps. Let's get to the bottom of this! Are you connected to the wifi connection while the wifi setting is on? When you attempt to respond or send do you notice the signal indicator connecting to 3G/4G for a few moments? Are you able to send/respond with wifi off and connected to the Verizon Wireless network? Try powering the device off and removing/inserting the sim here http://vz.to/19QSEGL test and share. Thank you.
