My 4s on 02 will not send mms

hi , i have the 4s on 02 contract, i have sponke with 02 and most of the time they just talk me through the settings ! i have changed the setting a few times now and no joy.
apple say i have to pay for a solution ! but i believe this is unfair and i have a phone that does not fullfill its spec.
Help please !!!!!!!

I have the same issue with my black 32GB 4S and have had since I got it. However, having spoken to o2 and them informing me that it costs 50p per MMS and there are no plans that allow you to send free MMS anymore (I used to have a plan that would deduct four of my free texts for each MMS I sent), I decided it wasn't worth bothering with anymore. I refuse to pay 50p to send a picture! It works perfectly fine on iMessage and if I have any recipients who don't use an iPhone, I use e-mail or one of the Instant Messenger apps such as Kik or WhatsApp instead.

My iPhone 5 will not send mms through iMessage, any help?

I have recently been abroad and since returning to the UK, my phone will not send pictures over iMessage, I never had this problem before travelling. I have my wifi switched on and I have checked my send and receive settings. I can receive picture messages through iMessages but cannot send them. The person I am sending them too has an iPhone and has their iMessage turned on, I have checked my updates and my phone does not need updating, I can not think of anything else it could be. I have also checked and I am able to send them through text just not iMessage. Any suggestions would be great!

Yes I have turned imessage off a number of times and that does not seem to he doing the trick, and it is not delivering them then I have to press on the photo and either chose try again or send as text message, I have had the setting on to not allow sending pictures as texts (so they can only send as imessage) since I got my phone in January and it has always worked until now, I have turned that off to allow me to send them as picture messages now but it's still not working over iMessage, I have also tried it using 3G and not wifi

My iPhone 4 will not send MMS or Group messages and the MMS and Group messages are on in the settings. Help?

I keep getting the red mark "message failed" whenever i attempt to send a picture or forward. i checked my settings and MMS and Group messaging are both on. This has happened several times. Help!!!

I've been an AT&T customer since they were under different names in the 90s and have never heard/seen that. I would check with them. I'd really like to see that error. To get a screenshot on the phone, press the home button and sleep/wake button together quickly and release. You will see the screen flash slightly and hear the camera shutter noise.

IPhone will not send MMS/ connect to cellular data

This may help some folk. I've just bought a 5s and after installing the new nano sim, neither the cellular data or MMS would work. Turns out that my carrier detected it was an iPhone, so when sending over the carrier settings, assumed I had a dedicated iPhone data plan which I haven't. All I had to do was change the cellular data and MMS APN details and it worked. Anyone with this issue should contact their carrier for the correct APN details. In my case I had to swap from idata.o2.co.uk to mobile.o2.co.uk.
Hope this helps!

Usually this is a carrier issue. Call your carrier and let them know. If its Verizon or sprint have them re-provision the account.

MMS is on but still will not send picture messages

Every now and then I have a problem where my iPhone 4 will not send picture messages. I have checked MMS and it is on as well as cellular data and everything else involving sending or revieving data (except for mobile hotspot, but that's irrelevant).
It will send pictures via iMessage (I sent a picture to an iTouch)
it will not send pictures via text message.
it WILL send text messages.
turning WiFi off or on does not affect outcome
turning MMS off to try to send via iMessage through WiFi results in the picture icon going away
I've tried turning the phone on and off.
I'm thinking there might be an error with the SIM card, where it may not think I can send picture messages...
When sending to someone who has an iPhone, it will not try to send via iMessage it goes straight to text message.
nothing works
please help
thanks.

nevermind, I got it to work. Still don't know what happened, though...

TS5185 My IPAD will not send messages to non APPLE users.

Today, Christmas Day, while trying to send a message my IPAD wanted me to turn on iMessage. There was no option not to do this. After it was turned on I could no longer send messages to non Apple users. After reading online that I could set send SMS on my IPHONE I did. Now I guess it send everything as an SMS message. Now my IPAD will not send messages to non Apple users. I guess Apple wants us to pick our friends only if the use Apple products. This is about as stupid as it gets. They want us to only communicate with Apple users. The only other option is to turn the feature off. Why have iMessage in the first place.
So my situation is I can send SMS Messages on my IPHONE. I cannot send any messages to non Apple users on my IPAD and iMessages to my Apple users.
This kind of stupidity is why I switched from Windows to Apple in the first place. Don't they test anything out anymore at Apple?

Please don't take this the wrong way, but I think that you might be doing something wrong.

HT4528 Iphone will not send new calendar data but will receive it from PC and ipad.

I just set up a calendar on iphone, ipad and PC. Iphone will not send new events but will receive from both PC and ipad. I just updated to iOS 6 and am reading others have similar problems. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Are the other phones that can't receive messages iPhones? If not, that could be the problem.
See this Apple doc -> iOS: Using Messages
You can send and receive text messages using the Messages app included with iOS. Messages supports SMS and MMS on iPhone, and iMessage on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. You can also send iMessages using Messages in OS X Mountain Lion.

I have tried to send photos through text messaging and it will not send. I thought my iPhone 3 was giving out so I got my iPhone 4 last night and still can't send photos through text message. What is the deal??

Also MMS is supported on a carrier by carrier basis. While mostly every carrier does support ths feature make sure that your carrier allows this functionality.

My iPhone 5 will not send photos but will send text. I went to settings and everything seems good to go but I cannot send photos to anyone via messages...please help

When you said you went to Settings and everything seems good. Does that mean the MMS was turned on? If so, and this is only being experienced when dealing with SMS/MMS, then you should contact your carrier to have them check to make sure your account is provisioned for MMS, and that everything is alright with your account. SMS/MMS is a carrier function.

I have an iphone 4s unlocked with att prepaid plan (non-contract), everything was working perfect BUT since i update to IOS6 i can not send MMS to anybody has Android, i went to att technical center they said only apple store can fix the problem, i went..

I have an iphone 4s unlocked with att prepaid plan (non-contract), everything was working perfect BUT since i update to IOS6 i can not send MMS to anybody has Android, i went to att technical center they said only apple store can fix the problem, i went to Apple store MANY times they could not fix it, so they gave me a new iphone 4s and they said they fixed it but they did not,iam so mad that's not fair, can somebody help me please.

The nice thing about owning this overpriced POS is that Apple not only doesn't support it, but also doesn't want to hear about anything negative regarding it. So I spoke to the so-called "support" people at Apple who successfully screwed up my contacts beyond repair. I got a nice email from Apple asking me to rate the support I got. I was actually civil and described the issue tactfully. What do I get in return? Nothing. Not a damned thing!! You're luck you've got me by the short hairs on a 2 year contract but I'm still tempted to throw this POS through the front window of the nearest Apple store!! Not only will I be replacing this phone with a competitive product but I won't be buying anymore Apple crap. I guess when you con 27 million people into believing your rhetoric and sales lies, you don't have to care whether some customers get screwed or not. I'll be going back to Verizon and threatening legal action if they don't take this electronic dung heap back but I'm sure the teams of lawyers Apple and Verizon have on staff have insured that I have no rights in this matter and you're free to screw me anytime you please. Sad. I used to love Apple as a company and your products. Now you're just another Microsoft with more trendy looking junk. I've had it with you. If any of your executives are brave enough to talk to me, please contact me at your convenience.

Since update, will not send or receive picture messages unless using imesage

Since the I0S6 update, my phone will not send or receive picture messages unless it's being sent through iMessage.
I know of other people having the same problem, with different versions of the phone and different carriers.
Anyone else?
I have the iPhone 4 with Sprint.
Friend has the iPhone 4s with Verizon.

Check settings/message and make sure MMS is ON. Also chcek that your carrier/your plan allows sending of pictures over MMS

Mac Mini will not send iMessages to anyone but apple users all other devices will

I have a new mac mini and it will not send iMessages to people that do not have apple devices. All my other apple devices will send to people on these devices. The mac mini says that the users are not registered with iMessages. My Macbook Pro has no problem. Any suggestions?

Hello IslandBoy2671,
Is your MacBook Pro sending the SMS messages through your iPhone?
That is the protocol others are probably using.
Messages (Yosemite): Get and send SMS messages
To make and receive SMS and MMS messages on your Mac, you need an iPhone with iOS 8 that’s signed into iMessage with the same Apple ID.
To send an SMS message, enter a contact or a person’s phone number, enter your text, then press Return.
Your SMS and MMS messages appear on your Mac automatically.
Take care,
Nubz

Email will not send

Email will not send , but I can receive ?

Are you getting any errors when you try to send? Or does it just get stuck in your outbox sending? Simple thing to do is reset your iPad by holding down the home and power button until you see the silver apple then just let the iPad start normally. If the issues still persist as mentioned above got to Settings>mail, contacts, and calendars and just turn of mail then turn back on. See if you get any errors if not check your mail again and attempt to send the email. If all above fail. Go back to settings and then mail, contacts, and calendars then select the email account that you are having issues with then delete the account. Once deleted select the option to add account and re add your email account back to your iPad. Let me know if this works for you.

My ipad receives email with the hotel wifi but will not send. The error message is "user name or password for ........is incorrect" but both are correct and unchanged. Restarting iPad didnt help.

My iPad receives email on the hotel wifi but will not send. The error message reads "user name or password for smpt......is incorrect" but both are correct and unchanged. Restarting iPad did not help.

I did try this too, but when I access my webmail on the iPad, the iPad doesn't allow me to type my message. I am able to enter in the "to" address and the "subject" line, but then the keyboard will not come up for me to type my message. Is there some trick to this? Very frustrating!

My gmail account receives mail, but will not send, forward, or reply...it gets stuck in the spin and then I have to force quick firefox.
