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

IPhone will not send pictures via iMessage

My iPhone 5 sends and receives text iMessages just fine, but I cannot send any pictures.
Whenever I try to send a picture, iMessage indicates at first that the picture has been "delivered". Then, about 10 seconds later, it changes the status to "not sent". The picture never goes through.   I can send the picture as an MMS/Text, just not as an iMessage.
I've tried resetting my carrier/network settings, turning off/on iMessage, rebooting the phone multiple times, removing the SIM card and everything else I can think of without any success.   Has anyone else had this problem? What did you do to fix it?

I had the same Problem with my iPad 4th Gen.
Here is the fix...
settings > iMessage > turn off
Now restart the phone, then back to settings > iMessage > turn it on
...and wait for iMessage to activate and check if you can send a pic.
It worked for me, I hope you get the same results.
Good Luck

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.

All of a sudden this morning my iphone will not send imessages from my phone number but only from my email address. When I go to the settings for my imessages to choose where they are coming from my phone number is greyed out....Is there a way to fix this

All of a sudden this morning my iphone will not send imessages from my phone....

Hi Chas869,
Hmm, that is strange that your phone number is greyed out. There are a few things that we can try. First would be to turn iMessages off, then back on. See if you are able to select your phone number. Then if that doesn't work, turn iMessages back off, then reset the network settings....settings>general>reset>reset network settings, this will reboot the phone. Don't worry, it won't delete anything from the phone, it simulates a battery pull. Once the device comes back on, then turn iMessages back on. Keep us posted if that works!

My iPhone will not send an iMessage. It sends everything as SMS. I have ensured that my Apple ID is signed in and that my phone number is enabled for use in both FaceTime and iMessage

I had the same problem. I went in and added my email address to iMessage and deleted the text to my friends that have iPhones and sent another to test it and it worked. Only thing is now my non iPhone friends don't receive my pic text. I had to turn off iMessage for it to work. Apple needs to fix this ASAP!

TS2755 Since updating my iphone to ios7 my phone will not send or receive imessages. Please help?

Hi there,
Can anyone help? Since updating my iphone to the latest ios7 my phone will not send or receive imessages and is now very slow.

Go to Settings>Messages> turn iMessage off. The go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings. Do a reset on the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone restarts, go back into Settings>Messages and turn on iMessage. See if it activates.
Apple has acknowldged an issue with iMessage and is working on an update. Look for that to be released sometime this week.

Are the other phones that can't receive messages iPhones? If not, that could be the problem.
See this Apple doc -> iOS: Using Messages

Hey X300X,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with iMessages. The following article may help to resolve your issue:

You may also want to reset your network settings:
Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Note: this will delete any network related settings (saved Wi-Fi passwords, etc), it will not erase any content from your device.
Thanks,

HT1430 my iPhone will not send emails. I have checked the settings and reset the phone, it still does not work. Any suggestions? Thanks

If anyone can help I would appreciate it. Mail on my iphone will not send any messages. I have followed the Apple instructions and still it won't work, even after resetting my iphone. My email provider is BT.

To Avoid Relaying:
If you are sending an email from, say, [email protected], but the return address is [email protected], that is relaying (you are using y.com's servers to send an email where the email "originates" from b.com). Many servers don't allow relaying to prevent spamming.
To make this work go into the email account settings, tap the account "button" that has your email address, go to the Advanced section in "Mail" if there is one, then go to "Outgoing Mail Server", tap it, and then tap "Primary Server", and in the Outgoing Mail Server enter your user name and password. It may say optional, but you need this.
Not all services provide this and the sequence of buttons I describe above may not be exactly the same for each address (look around if different). If you can't set the user name and password, then that email service does not provide a way to get around relaying.

HT201320 iPad and iPhone will not send email saying yahoo password is wrong. I have tried entering the password and it does not "take." What can I do?

Ipad and iPhone will not send mail saying yahoo password is wrong. I have tried re entering correct password in setting and it will not "take." What can I do?

Yahoo has been having many email problems this last couple of weeks. There is nothing you can do about it.

TS3899 My iPhone will not send email. I deleted my acct. and reopened a new one. I rebooted my device. What else can I do?

My iPhone will not send mail. I deleted the acct. and opened a new one. I rebooted my phone too. I am at a loss as to what I should do next.

Sounds as if you have a POP email account. If that is the case, then deleting the account and adding it back deleted those folders. They will be recreated as needed. As soon as you send an email, the Send folder will be created. As soon as you delete an email the deleted folder will be created, and the same with saving an incomplete email will create the draft folder.
