My bb classic suddenly unable to send/receive photos via text messages

It was working up until a few weeks ago. Now I cannot share photos via text. What happened and how to fix it?

Rebooting the device is the first troubleshooting step for odd issues like that. Resetting is the second. It was more efficient for me to suggest the reset, but in the future you should try just rebooting.
And if you find yourself rebooting or resetting often, take a look at what you are doing, such as the last app you installed, the apps you are running, the apps you have open at the time, in short any coincidences.
For what it's worth I practically never do resets and seldom reboot.

    You can't. Such can only be done using MMS. Is MMS on? Settings>Messages>MMS>On.

  • Cannot receive photos via text messaging, says too big to receive

    I can receive photos via blue tooth but when anybody sends photos via text it does not arrive or I am told that the image is too big.

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting the issue here and providing more information. I did some research on the carrier and this is what I found about sending a receiving messages.
    Please call your service provider to find out if there are any limitations on attachment sized for your phone plan.
    I tried looking up to verify how to manually set up email for the email app for your phone, but was not sure what model you had: please check here for troubleshooting info [http://www.vodafone.com.au/help/devices/ota-settings] if the email is already set up, please ignore.
    This lists the networks that work best for sending and receiving pxt in mms overseas and email

    PXT®/MMS settings [http://support.vodafone.com.au/articles/FAQ/PXT-MMS-settings]
    If this continues after any optimizing changes the service provider recommends:
    *Are there download settings set in the email menu
    *What is the size of the attachment when this happens?
    *Is it a specific file type this consistently happens?
    *what kind of email account does this happen with, and is it consistent for other emails as well? If so it may be the apn settings.
    If you are unable to access the images from the account with Vodafone, it may be the following bugs that is affecting this.

    *Does it happen with pdfs? [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=825318]
    *Does is happen when there is no message?
    *Does it happen when it is too large and is there a message? [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=949972]

  • I have an iPhone 4, and iOs 5.1. Suddenly I cannot send or recieve SMS/text messages but iMessage is working - any help appreciated.

    I have an iPhone 4, and iOs 5.1. Suddenly I cannot send or recieve SMS/text messages but iMessage is working - any help appreciated.

    iOS 5 handles texts differently than previous versions.  Resetting the network connections helps, but that didn't seem to solve your problem, and neitherdid the simple reset. 
    Try deleting old messages from the messages app, then after clearing up a lot, just do a simple restart of your phone.  If you want to be extra sure, try resetting your network connections again.  I had this same problem.  Your last option would be a complete restore of the phone, but I don't think we'll have to go that far. 

  • Unable to send or recieve video text messages after jelly bean

    I recieved the jelly bean update and I can not send a video message.  When I try it says that it is to large.  This occurs even if its a 2 sec video.  My video is set at the lowest setting also.  When I recieve a video message all I get is the audio.  Please help

        Dear Don2321,
    I am sorry to hear of the difficulites you are experiencing after the software update on your phone. Software updates are meant to provide benefits to your device so I can understand the frustration. Allow us to help get to the bottom of your video messaging concerns.
    On a Motorola Droid Bionic, if you are planning to send a video, you must first change the video recording mode to mms. Trying to send the video in any other video setting, will not allow you to send it and will give you an error message that the file is too large. To change the recording setting mms tap on the Camera icon>switch to video mode>tap menu>tap on the video mode icon next to the microphone>select video message. Once you have changed your setting to video mode, record your video and then send it. If you are still having issues with sending a video via text message in video mode, please reach out to us. We will be more than happy to assist you in further troubleshooting.

  • Cannot send multiple photos via text on iPhone 6

    iPhone 6:  I am trying to send multiple pictures via text message (through the Photo app) to someone who does not have an Apple device, therefore I am sending it as an MMS.  However, I receive an error message stating, "iMessage needs to be enabled to send this message."  This is confusing for two reasons:
    1. I DO have iMessage enabled.
    2. I am not trying to send it via iMessage (as the recipient is a non-Apple user) so why am I being prompted to send it via iMessage?
    How do I fix this?

    What happens if you open a message and then copy multiple pictures into it (rather than doing it from the Photo app)?
    Thanks

    Have plenty of space available but I can no longer receive photos while texting.  I am able to send photos to any phone. I deleted many photos from pic gallery but photos still will not come to my text message board.  Is there something I may have to do in order to receive photos again.  I have had no problem receiving photo into my text messages since I had the phone.  I list reception about 3 weeks ago.  Anyone?..........

  • Cannot send or receive photos via txt messages?!?

    with my BB I was sending and receiving photos from all my children and other relatives. On my brand new Galaxy S4 no photos get sent or received. Any advice would be appreciated.

    Sorry, I have no suggestions for you.  I have sent many pics via txt message with no problems.  You might check to see how large your pics are.  There may be a limit on the size you can send by txt.
