New iPhone question (picture mail)

Just got the 3G iPhone and I was wondering why I cannot recieve pictures via text message, (picture mail). Is there something I need to download, or is it not possible?

You should really ask this in the iphone forum.
The iphone does not support MMS (picture messaging). This has been covered ad naseum in the iphone forums. You can use e-mail to accomplish the same thing. Type "MMS" into the forum search bar and you will find countless threads on this subject.
The new 3.0 software update due out this summer was announced to include MMS. So you will have it soon enough.

  • AT&T and new iPhone Question

    Hey everyone, I had a quick question I was hoping someone could help me answer regarding upgrading to the new iPhone. I currently have a family talk plan with AT&T and have unlimited data. I am the only one on my account who plans on upgrading to the new iPhone. Because it seems like the new iPhone will have LTE what does this mean for my data plan? Will I now have to make the switch to the shared data plans and lose my grandfathered unlimited data plan? Is there any way to avoid this? Thanks in advance for the help.

    What I'm trying to tell you is that for all practical purposes, you're now paying $30 a month for 3GB's of data. What you need to do is compare that to AT&T's new offerings. As an example, when iOS 6.0 is released, it will enable FaceTime over 3G. However, AT&T has already announced that only customers on their new "Shared Data" plans will be able to FaceTime over 3G on AT&T's network. Shared Data also enables Personal Hotspot..."unlimited data" plans do not.
    You really need to compare apples to apples & get this "unlimited data" out of your mind, because the fact is you really don't have such. So, you pay $30 a month for 3GB's of data with no FaceTime over 3G & no Personal Hotspot. Now compare that to AT&T's new offerings & make your decision.

  • New Iphone Questions Re: Specs

    Has the issue of service been addressed with the new iphone? Meaning: I have had 3 ipods which have all died and had to be exchanged, repaired, or replaced. Will the problems of the ipod affect the iphone? Will the whole phone's operations be affected by the quirks and idiosyncrasies of the ipod?

    There is no way to know if your anecdotal experience will translate to the iPhone.
    There is no service documentation, there are no policies, and no parts are yet available for either the revised 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station or the Apple TV, and both are set to ship within weeks. I suggest that you put such questions aside until after the release of this product in June 2007, or pose them directly to personnel at Apple. No one here can speak to unannounced programs or policies concerning any Apple product or service.

  • Synched new iPhone but Sent Mail missing

    Hi everyone,
    I just synched a new iPhone to my PC and I am using Gmail. It sends and receives email fine, but the Sent messages do not appear in my iPhone sent mail folder. I've confirmed the correct settings for Incoming and Outgoing mail, but there is no "Sent Mailbox" option under Mailbox Behaviors.
    Any help would be much appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Ok, I just reset my password and it works now!

  • NEW iPhone has pictures and contacts?

    I just bought a new iPhone 4. It has a bunch of picture, songs and contacts on it. Is it possible or was I given a preowned phone?

    More likely you had a phone that was selected for QA before it was shipped from the factory and the QA people forgot to wipe the phone before shipping.

  • HT201269 Transferring information to new iPhone question

    I have accidentally opted to set up my new iPhone "as new iPhone" instead of restoring it from iCloud backup. How can I rectify this?

    On your phone: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. When done, you can now start over.

  • New iPhone questions  - sync iCal and To Dos

    I have a subscribed calendar in iCal for Home and Work that is published and updated throughout the day(s) on my Mac. The published calendar events don't show up on my iPhone after sync'ing (however updates FROM the iPhone show up on the calendar on my Mac). Do I have a setting wrong?
    Also, how do I see 'To Dos' on the iPhone?
    On Settings in the iPhone - should the Wi-Fi be set to 'on' and if it is is this an additional fee (above the AT&T cost?

    I'm not sure that subscription calendars wok on iphone, can't remember. You can do a forum search as this has been asked and answered before.
    To Do's do not sync. You can look in the app store for apps to help. Again asked and answered many times, a forum search may help.
    Wi-fi is the sam o iphone as with any other wi-fi device/laptop.
    Wi-fi has nothing to do with your cellular service. You can look up wi-fi on wikipedia.

  • Set up as new iPhone question

    Hi, when i get a new device I always "restore from backup" to get all my info back on either from a iTunes backup or iCloud as of recently because of no laptop for past year.
    I've been having a few problems recently and was told by a few people that I should "set up as new device" and start fresh, if I did that how can I get my camera roll,  contacts, notes, bookmarks etc. back on? Also what about app data like game saves?
    Thanks in advance

    For camera roll - you should be importing  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 your pics to your computer, then you can sync it back to your phone using itunes http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
    Your contacts/notes/bookmarks should be sync to whatever program your using to sync with in itunes i.e outlook, etc.
    Your app data will not be saved, you will have to start as new.

  • Mail arriving very late on new iPhone 6 since I switched to Verizon.

    I just signed up for Verizon Wireless with my new iPhone 6.  Mail is not being delivered to the phone in a timely fashion.  I send test mail and all my other devices receive it right away, even my old iPhone 4S that is on Wifi only now.  I have Settings set for notification, for the ding, and still no mail shows up until I enter the mailbox.  It can take 15 - 30 minutes sometimes.

    Yes. 
    I have Settings set to Push (Settings/Mail,Contacts,Calendars/Fetch New Data says Push. But when I click on that, Push is set to on but Verizon and Gmail accounts say Fetch. When I click on that, there is no further Push option: just Fetch or Manual. I have that set at Fetch. However, the iCloud account does have the Push option.
    Under Fetch category below, the shortest option is 15 minutes.
    And, my old iPhone 4S, which no longer has cell service, is still getting mail, thru WiFi, and my test emails come to that phone (with the ding and the Envelope showing the number of new mails when I look), right away.. Yet the new 6 is not dinging or showing the new mail indicator when I look, for sometimes 25 minutes.

  • What a horrible way to treat customers. I was due for updates on my phones and thought I should maybe check some other prices but have been with Verizon for 20 yrs so ended up there. I got 2 new IPhones 5s and the wife couldn't decide what she wanted so s

    What a horrible way to treat customers. I was due for updates on my phones and thought I should maybe check some other prices but have been with Verizon for 20 yrs so ended up there. I got 2 new IPhones 5s and the wife couldn’t decide what she wanted so she stayed with old phone but this locked me into a new 2 yr contract . Within a wk one of the new iPhones started turning on and of like 10 –15 times a day. Wk 2 it turned off and would not turn on again . It was my sons who was in college at the time so we talked and he took it in to a Verizon store where he was told I need to come in since the account was in my name. He was away from home , Verizon could see on account it was his phone they said it was not abused, they could not even turn it on , they sold me the phone give him another phone maybe even a loaner till he gets another. So now I need to go to store and explain to 3 different people this is my phone and my son has it and I need a new one. what a waste of time after about 2 hrs and talking to different people and yes they said there were notes on his account from other person he had talked to from different store. So I finally walk out with a receipt in hand and being told I would have a new phone in a couple days. As I sat in my vehicle thinking this is stupid I looked at my receipt and noticed it said droid on it so back into Verizon I went. The salesman said that’s what your son has on his account. My son had activated a friends old phone so he has one since VERIZON REFUSED to give him one. Another hr 3 people and yes they can see he had a new iPhone and notes on it from other store. Sometimes sorry just doesn't do it. I was now late for a appointment . Now I walk out and have been told I will get a new iPhone in the mail in about 2 wk Yes 2 wks   again I bought it there just give me a new one and you send old one back. I will also get a new droid that I have to send back because they said they cant cancel it  . In about 3 days I get the Droid and sent it back Verizon mistake and a waste of my time . After waiting over 2 wks and not receiving a new iPhone back to Verizon I went . I am now bitter at Verizon after doing 20 yrs of business with them. 3 people 1 hr later I was told it got delivered to my post office . I got the tracking num called the post office and they say o yes that was the droid. Go back in to Verizon another hr of explaining I walk out being told I will get a new iPhone in a couple of days, We’ll see . Once again I got the phone in your store just give me a new one . Do you realize how much of my time you have wasted ? do you care? O what is Your Policy ? How many Billion did you make last year ? I am Locked into a new 2 yr contract . Why don’t you just release me ? After 20 yrs do you think I will ever renew my contract ?

    Simple process. If an iPhone go to the Apple Store and not Verizon
    the phone from Verizon will be a refurbished device and not new unless under the 14 day worry free guarantee
    good luck

  • ITunes not syncing with my new iPhone

    My new iPhone is syncing mail and calender with Exchange. However, it will not sync with iTunes. I had one successful sync and the rest of the time is says it cannot read it due to "unknown error." Has anyone had this experience? Andy suggestions?
    Also, I can't seem to figure out how to access renting videos via iTunes wirelessly on my iPhone. I cannot find the category for movies or videos on the display. Any advice?
    Thanks so much.

    Do a restore.
    You can't do videos on the iPhone version of the store-just music.
