My iPhone 4s cannot send or receive picture message

I cannot send or receive picture message

Had the same prob w/ pics not sending.  Spent hours on phone and finally got problem solved.  Hopefully this will help other people experiencing this problem. 
First, go Settings, then select Phone.  Under "My number" it should say your current number.  If it doesn't (as it didn't in my case) call sprint (dial *2 on your phone).  Tell the sprint agent you would like your Name assigned to your number. 
In my case, I had been added to an existing family plan.  I was assigned a random new cell phone number, but then later changed it to my old existing phone number from AT&T.  So if you are like me and brought your old cell phone number with you when you switched to Sprint, then this may be the issue. 
When I was experiencing the problem with my pictures not sending, the wrong phone number was showing as my number on the phone (even though people could call and text me using my current number).

  • Iphone 4 cannot send or receive text message

    I just got my iphone 4 yeaterday. Everything works fine except for the text messages. I can make and receive call, but cannot send or receive text messages. Does anyone have this problam?
    After I hit "send", it sounds message sent successfully, but my friend did not get it. Also I asked my friend to send one to me, nothing!

    it's a software issue... a lot of customers are having all kinds of issues with their new iPhone 4. But, don't be dismayed, there may be a way to fix it.
    some ideas is trying going to settings -> general -> rest -> then tap on "Rest Network Settings". This will then rest all the of network settings, and hopefully fix transmitting and recieving issues that you may have with your iPhone.

  • After transferring my contacts on to my iPhone, I cannot send or receive text messages to some of them. Even if they text me, I cannot reply!

    After transferring my contacts to my iPhone, I can no longer send or receive text messages from some of them. Even if they text me, I cannot send a reply!

    Same problem persists also here. Have crosschecked with friend, all same settings, have deleted the contacted, created again, still that number does not receive my SMS (no question on iMessage). Can not even reply her message. This problem persists with few numbers, nothing common, different phones, different countries, different operators. All others, with different operators, in different coutries receive my messages. Even other people can send their SMS to her.

  • IPod touch 4G cannot send, only receive picture messages

    As the title says.  I am able to send and receive normal messages, am connected to wifi, etc.  The only function that is not working is the ability to SEND picture messages.  I am able to receive them just fine - after yet another picture message failed, I had a friend send me a test picture, and immediately after successfully receiving it, I attempted to resend - failure, again.  It also has been taking up to a couple minutes for the "!" failed notification to appear on the messages.
    Things I have tried already today:
    - "renew lease" on wifi
    - toggled iMessages on and off
    - reset my iPod
    - upgraded to iOS 6.1.3 (from 6.0.1; hadn't seen a need to since I first got the iPod)
    All with no success.  It stopped working sometime between June 5th and June 10th.  It is driving me absolutely MAD and I cannot find any helpful and recent information.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Why will my iphone 5 not send or receive picture messages?

    I have turned  off the imessages and also synced it with itunes as was advised by my mobile network, in addition to turning the phone off and on again but still will not work. Any suggestions?

    Does your carrier's plan allow MMS?
    MMS is a standard way to send messages that include multimedia content to and from mobile phones. It extends the core SMS (Short Message Service) capability that allowed exchange of text messages only up to 160 characters in length.
    Some accounts require additonal services (i.e. cost more) to make MMS supported on a device.  It all depends on your carrier.

  • Cannot send or receive pic messages (lg cosmos)

    my husband and i both have lg cosmos phones.  we're on vacation (still in the US) and cannot send or receive picture messages all of a sudden.  we can send and receive TEXT messages, just not picture messages.  the same thing happened to my mom when she was here (she has a samsung).  is it just the area we're in or what?  why can we send texts and not pic messages???

    Check your signal and type of coverage... if it's 1X then all you have is text messages; if it says 3G then pics (which actually use a data connection, but count as text messages) are OK.  if it says Extended coverage or Extended network or Roaming, then pics won't go until you reach an area where there is a strong enough DATA signal to send/receive pics.

  • Cannot send or receive pictures from iPhone 5c

    I am unable to send or receive picture messages from my iphone 5c

    Two things:
    1.  Settings > Messages > MMS Messaging must be "On".
    2.  Your cellular carrier account must be set up to send/receive MMS (may well cost extra).

  • I bought an unlocked iphone 5 with 32mb especially so I could use any wireless carrier that I wanted to.  Why does apple hold me prisoner to use only the carriers that apple wants?????  The only thing I can't do is send and receive picture messaging.

    I specifically bought and paid for an unlocked iphone 5 from APPLE so that I could use any wireless carrier I wanted to.  I have been paying ATT WAYYY too much money the last 20 years.  But for some reason APPLE wants to keep me from using any wireless carrier - and I can only use the carriers that APPLE will let me.  WHY????  I paid my money!!  I expected a lot more than I got.  The only thing I can't do is send or received picture messages, but it makes me so Mad that I can';t do that!!!

    If you bought an unlocked iPhone then it will work with any carrier but will work only under the restrictions or requirements the carrier sets for its customers.  Apple has nothing to do with that.  You are describing a problem of restricted access created by the carrer.  If you cannot carry out the functions you want, talk to the carrier and see what limits they are placing on you.  An unlocked iPhone is fully capable of all functions the carrer allows.

  • Why can't I send or receive picture messages on my iPhone 4s?

    Why can't I send or receive picture messages on my iPhone 4s?

    Make sure that MMS is turned on in Settings. Sometimes that can get turned off during an update, if you recently did that. Next try would be a reset. If that doesn't help, then contact the carrier, as SMS and MMS are carrier specific functions.

  • Why won't my iPhone 5 send or receive picture messages?

    I recently purchased a new iPhone 5 on Vodafone, since I've had it I've been unable to send or receive picture messages.
    I have rang Vodafone several times and each time they reset and send through the correct settings to my phone. Each time also not being successful.
    I spoke with a lady from Vodafone this morning and she claimed it was a problem with the iPhone 5 model and not being able to pick up 3G aswell as the 4/4S models.
    This massively disappoints me as I love the apple products and was looking forward to upgrading to the 5, now I wish I stuck with the 4S.
    Will there be an update or some kind of instruction to fix this issue?

    Have you called AppleCare?
    No, it doesn't have anything to do with picking up 3G at all. I sent at least 5 pictures back and forth last night on my iPhone 5 with another person who has an iPhone 5.
    You do have MMS turned on? And you are connected to cell data?

  • IPhone 5 will not send or receive picture messages ? Tried everything !

    Recently purchased iPhone 5 and have found that I am unable to send or receive picture messages I have tried all of the suggested fixes and still will not work ! I find this extremely annoying and a bit ridiculous that considering the iPhone 5 is meant to be the best phone available to date I can't send or receive a simple mms message this needs sorted !

    First does your carrier contract support MMS?
    If so, is Settings > Messages > MMS Messaging  turned ON?

  • Updated my 3GS to 6.0.1 now I cannot send or receive picture text unless I'm wi-fi with I message. ??

    Notify your carrier.  Make sure MMS is provisioned for your account.  Also be sure it's enabled in your setting menu

  • I bought an HTC one 2/28/14.  I had no trouble sending or receiving pictures with my texts.  I had to update my phone 6/5/14 and since that time I cannot send or receive pictures in my texts.  How can I fix that?

    The thing is, before the update, I ALWAYS had my wifi on, and I had my mobile data off.  Worked flawlessly until the update.
