Not receiving picture messages

Hello,
Sorry if its a stupid question but after reading a few other topics online I've become quite confused. What happened is, I sent my girlfriend pictures to her @vtext.com address and she said she didn't receive them. Did they go to her online picture portfolio or something? Or did it just not send at all because @vtext is only for text messages?  Is she still able to get them even if they were sent to her @vtext.com ?

The [email protected] is only for text messages. There is a different address for picture messages. I don't recall myself what that address is, but I do know that it was posted on this community before.

  • 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?

  • Since update, will not send or receive picture messages unless using imesage

    Since the I0S6 update, my phone will not send or receive picture messages unless it's being sent through iMessage.
    I know of other people having the same problem, with different versions of the phone and different carriers.
    Anyone else?
    I have the iPhone 4 with Sprint.
    Friend has the iPhone 4s with Verizon.

    Check settings/message and make sure MMS is ON.  Also chcek that your carrier/your plan allows sending of pictures over MMS

  • 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?

  • Nokia C7-00: Can send, but not receive pictures

    Hello,
    I'm unable to receive picture messages on my C7-00 smart phone.  I can send pictures without problems but not receive.  Is it possible to disable receiving pictures?  If so how do I enable it? 
    Thank you.

    Its weird that you are able to send pics.. ( as picture message in ur C7 00) .. Update ur phone's software.
    And for picture message,to read, just touch on the attachment icon in the conversation,u ll b able to see.
    Do check ur multimedia message reception settings..
    For receiving through Bluetooth, check ur Bluetooth settings (visibility,pairing etc.. ) ,
    BTW, update ur phone's OS ..

  • 8300 Blackberry cannot receive picture messages

    Hi everyone. Text messaging works just fine on my 8300, but I am unable to receive picture messages. If someone tries to send me a picture message, my phone does not receive a message or notification at all. It is essentially ignored by my phone. Any help is appreciated.

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    On many carriers, Picture and Text Messaging are separate service levels...I'd suggest contacting your carrier to be sure that you have the service level needed for the services that you desire.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • Problems with sending/receiving picture messages

    Does anyone know how to sort problems with sending/receiving picture messages on the iphone 4S?  I've gone through all the re-setting etc at the place I bought it and it still doesn't work!! Spoken to 02 and they said it's an issue with Apple software?? Any help appreciated.

    Can you send/receive SMS's? If so, and you can't send/receive MMS's, and MMS is turned on in Settings, 99.9% of the time the problem is on your carrier's end...most likely MMS is not provisioned properly on your account, regardless of what your carrier is telling you. Call back & have them remove MMS from your account & then re-provision your account for MMS.

    Hi, cymoneW. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    I understand that you are unable to send or receive picture messages via the cellular data network.  I would check to make sure that MMS is enable in settings.  This setting is located in Settings > Messages and MMS Messaging.  If the issue persists, try the troubleshooting steps in the article below.

  • Iphone5 MMS: older phones not receiving group messages

    This discussion was started here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5178260
    Iphone5, iOS6.1.4, Verizon. Brand-new phone I bought a couple weeks ago. So its brand-new, mint condition, untouched.
    My phone number was ported from AT&T to Verizon. No problems as far as I can tell.
    I've been sending group messages, not realizing more than half of my friends/family were not receiving them.
    1.My aunt lives on the other side of the country and has some kind of smartphone(not iphone) and she's been receiving them just fine.
    2.My mother has a normal cellphone that is several years old AT&T, but she has only being receiving the subject line of the message. When she tries to "retrieve" the message, it always says "failed to retrieve". She has no problem getting text messages from everyone except me.
    3.My brother has a different model of a normal phone and he is on the same AT&T plan with my mother and he is able to receive my group messages.
    4.Some other friends with older phones and AT&T are not receiving the messages at all.
    So it's been very hit 'n miss on who can receive these group messages.
    I turned off iMessages first, then I finally turned off MMS Messages, and my mother was finally able to receive a group message from me.
    She has always been able to receive an individual message from me with MMS and iMessages turned on. This is strictly a group message problem of some kind.
    I was only sending her messages with text content, but the group messages always say MMS at the top regardless of what you send. I'm assuming turning off MMS forces group messages to use SMS.
    Why is iphone not able to degrade gracefully with a group message? Why can't it detect older phones in a group message and say "hmm...maybe I should use SMS, especially since the iphone is sending a message with text-only content anyway."
    It's really irritating that I have to either, remember to send INDIVIDUAL messages to every single person, OR keep MMS turned off just so older phones can receive a group message.
    Has anyone else had these kinds of problems, and if so, what did you do?
    I feel like the problem is on my end(Verizon) rather than my friends' end since so many of them are not receiving MY messages. They are receiving everyone else's messages.
    Facts:
    1. INDIVIDUAL messages work. (MMS is turned on.)
    2. SMS-ONLY GROUP messages work. (MMS is turned off so SMS is forced.)
    3. MMS group messages, even with text-only content, are not being received by some people, others are receiving them just fine.

    iMessages is not the problem. None of my friends have an iphone so I haven't been using iMessages at all.
    The problem is SMS vs MMS on group messages. For some reason, the default for group messages is MMS, even though the contents I send are only text. My mother and some of my other friends cannot receive MMS messages, but they can receive SMS messages. (I don't know if its because their phones are too old or because of their specific txtmsg plan with their provider.)
    So she automatically doesn't receive messages when I send them as a group instead of individually because they always send as MMS simply because they are GROUP and not because of the contents of the message.
    Why do group messages always send as MMS instead of SMS?
    I turned MMS OFF, in order to force group messages to always use SMS, but then the MMS setting turns itself back ON the instant I send an individual MMS to a friend who can receive those types of messages. Once MMS setting is back on, I don't realize it and send out a GROUP message, which doesn't reach everyone because once again MMS is being used instead of SMS.
    If group messages would send as SMS when I am only sending text, then there would be NO problem. It shouldn't use MMS unless I'm sending a picture or something.

  • HT4623 Unable to send or receive picture messages

    I have been unable to send or receive picture messages since I started using the iphone.

    I have an iPhone 5 and since I updated to ios 7.1, I can't sent pics unless the other phone has iMessage. I use h2O and I use the sim swap to get to my cellular network. I enter the settings and I noticed when I enter the mms apn: att.mvno will eventually disappear and says home. I repeated this process a dozen time with the same result.
    All the setting that I've enter didn't change but the mms apn. Att.mvno.
    Keep in mind, I used the sim swap method on my iPhone 4s and the 5 and never had a problem until this new update!  It's driving me nuts and would like to know how to resolve this problem? I'm not sure if I revert back to 7.0.6 will fix it but before I do it , I like to know if that will work Bc it's time consuming!  Apple needs to fix this problem Bc it was fine before this dam upgrade.

  • Sending and receiving picture messages

    I was given a torch as a gift recently. I like the phone but can't send or receive picture messages. The service allows it, as I had no problems on my motorola doing it. Is there somehere I can go to update the software to get the option? I have looked through everything here, the option is just not there at all like the manual says it should be. 

    You must have the BIS BlackBerry Data Plan in order to use "data", such your picture MMS messages and to get the RIM push email functions, as well as additional BlackBerry data services such as the internet browser, Facebook for BlackBerry, BlackBerry Messenger, and much more.
    So, as recommended, call your carrier and inquire about having the BlackBerry Data Plan added to your account.
    Good luck.

  • IMessage on mac does not receive pictures

    My iMessage on my mac book pro (Os X 10.9.2) does not receive pictures sent to me. It will receive screen shots, but not actual pictures taken by the phone or image files saved to the phone. I have tried the PRAM restart with no luck. Ideas??

    Hi,
    Odd stuff first.
    In the Contacts App > Card menu > Show My Card - is this your Info ?
    Can you compare the Names that do show in Messages with those that do not in the Contacts App ?
    For instance do the ones using Country Codes as part of the telephone Number Show up but ones that only use the local number (no Country code) do not ?
    If this s the case check the System Preferences > Date and Time including the Time Zone as everything is time stamped.
    Next go to the Messages app > Preferences > Accounts > iMessages Account > Details Button (you will be asked to sign in again).
    Does this list the "right" Country or region (it is this that will add the county code to plain numbers and allow your Apple ID (or others) to work properly.
    In System Preferences > Network > Advanced Button > DNS tab does it list DNS servers that are not on your LAN ?
    Quite often it lists the router (192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x and occasionally 172.16.x.x through to 172.32.255.255) rather than external DNS servers.
    It "should" show the ones the router lists in a greyed out form.
    If not, copy the DNS servers across (from the router) or use Public ones.
    If that does not  work use th Finder > Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key and select the Library that appears.
    Navigate to Preferences.
    Find com.apple.iMessages.bag.plist and drag it to the Trash then Restart Messages.
    This will force the app to reconnect to the iMessages Servers (and as there is a group of them you may well end up with a new server)

  • LG Revolution not receiving text messages from iphone user

    I am not receiving text messages from iphone user, sporatically.  The messages are showing as reveived on Verizon website in usage detail, but not being received on my phone.

        This issue needs fixed asap! I have a few suggestions that should help you get this resolved. If they are showing up in the usage details, that means they are hitting the Verizon network, but for some reason they are not showing up on the phone.   I recommend clearing the cache from your messaging/text messaging programs. Go to settings> applications> manage apps> all> Messaging/Text Messaging> Force Stop/Clear Cache/Clear Data. Erase the old text threads that you have saved and retry.
    If that doesn't work, please let us know the following:
    1) Do they come in delayed or not at all?
    2) Do you have any 3rd party messaging apps installed?
    3) Do they have any problems receiving messages from you?
    4) When they're sending messages, are they directly to you, or do you have this problem when the iPhone user sends to a group of people?
    Thanks for the additional info! I'm sure we can find a fix.
