  • HT204065 Group text with one non iPhone not working on iPhone 6 in the group.

    Group text with one non iPhone not working on one iPhone 6 in group. SMS, MMS and iMessage as well as group messaging are all turned on. Has worked intermittently but now cannot see or respond in that particular chain. Can send independently to the non iPhone (Samsung) but not in group. Other iPhone 6 and 5 in group work fine.

    The reason why you have to turn off 3Gs is because T-Mobile does not support iPhones 1700 something or other. You have to turn off the 3Gs on the iPhone to make it work.
    As already provided, it shouldn't matter since the iPhone is designed to automatically connect to the fastest internet connection available. If wi-fi access and 3G network access is on, when in range of an available wi-fi network you have access to and have connected your iPhone with previously, the iPhone will connect to the wi-fi network automatically. When leaving the range of the wi-fi network, the iPhone will connect to the 3G network if 3G network access is available. If 3G network access is not available, the iPhone will connect to EDGE or GPRS - whichever is available at the time.
    If this is unique to T-Mobile's network with the iPhone for some reason since T-Mobile is not an official carrier for the iPhone in the U.S. and you were instructed by T-Mobile to do so, then you need to do so.
    If this is not working now, the problem lies with T-Mobile and I have no idea what to tell them for them to recognize where the problem lies on their end.

  • HT1688 I cannot text picture messages or group texts

    I cannot text picture messages or group texts

    This won't exactly be helpful, but my friend was having that problem too. After about a week she started receiving them again, out of the blue. I'm not quite sure what the problem is that's causing this, because she did absolutely nothing to solve it and it stopped and started to work all on its one :/

  • IPhone 4s wont send or receive pictures.

    One day my iPhone 4s decided to stop letting me send or receive pictures except with other iPhone users. I've googled like crazy and tried to restore but nothing fixes it. Helppp!

    You would need to contact Vodafone via phone or online chat (depending on what options they offer). The option that allows pictures, audio, video, etc to be sent via messaging is MMS (Multi-media Messaging Service). If you are certain that MMS is turned on within the settings menu on your phone, the only other possibility is an issue with the provisioning by your cellular provider.

  • 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). 

  • VZ iPhone 5c wont send/recieve imessages since ios 8 update

    So back when IOS 8 first came out I updated my VZ iPhone 5C and lost the ability to send/receive text messages.  I have changed the date/time, restored from DFU mode, reset from iCloud/Lost my Iphone, banged head and lost hope.
    I am seriously at my limits on trying to figure out what to do to get the thing to work.  I'm currently using What'sApp to text on and considering selling the phone.
    Is there anyone out their that tell me what to do to fix this?
    Verizon says its not them, Apple wants $20 to talk to them (warranty is out? really?), other places want at least $30 just to look at it with no guarantee to fix it.
    Any other ideas? Tips? Interested buyers?

    You could make an appointment at the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store where they will look at it for free.

  • 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.

  • Iphone 5 wont send pictures

    Hi there,
    My iphone phone wont send pictures without me having my mob data on. Once this is on it sends without any problem. But the only problem is that the people i am trying to send photos to if they don't have internet they will not receive this???
    Is this the only way of sending?? Can there be a way like using my credit instead of mob data???
    Thanks

    Hi Paea01,
    You need some form of Internet connection, either Wi-Fi or cellular, to send and receive pictures.

  • My iphone 3gs wont send or recieve calls but sms is working

    My iphone 3gs wont send or recieve calls but sms is working.Signal is good & plenty of credit

    First step is to clean the iPhone charging port with a clean dry toothbrush, also use a bit of Isopropyll Alcohol, and clean especially the pins which are on top of the dock midrib.
    Let it dry for a minute. Then open iTunes on computer, then connect iPhone to computer, then hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone is recognized by iTunes in Recovery Mode. Usually about 20 seconds time of holding both buttons. Restore the iPhone Firmware.
