Photos not sending using imessage on iPhone 6 plus

When I try to send photos using iMessage over wifi on my new iphone 6 plus they rarely send. The sending bar slowly goes to about 95% and then freezes. Very very occasionally (1 in 20) they send but take a good hour. Sending the same photo to the same person on my iPad air is so easy and the pic goes in the blink of an eye. This is so frustrating because one of the main uses for my phone is chatting and Sending pics.
I Have tried resetting the phone, the network (although if its sending on the iPad it can't be the network), ive toggled iMessage on and off, ive tried everything I've seen on the forums. I have mms / 4g turned off when at home so that I'm not using data when I have my wifi. Text messages are sending fine. It's just picture messages. I am on iOS 8.1. I have super fast wifi so that isn't the issue.
Any help to resolve this would be greatly appreciated. Apologies if this question has been posed elsewhere. I couldn't find the same issue.
Thanks

Just solved this issue by turning iMessage off in the Settings app, waiting a few seconds, and turning it back on.

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

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!

One contact who has an iPhone but messaging will not send as iMessage

I have one contact, who has an iPhone, but messaging will not send as iMessage, only text. All my other contacts with iPhones, the messages go as iMessages - even messages going to people who are not in my contacts. What is the fix?

But if that person did not set up an iMessage account on their iPhone, then they cannot receive any iMessages at all, only SMS text messages.
Both the sender and the recipient must have an iOS device with an active iMessage account.
There is nothing you can do about it, other than ask them to set up iMessage on their device (which if they don't want to, is their choice).

Why Does the iPhone not send/receive MMS?

Why Does the iPhone not send/receive MMS? this in the works?

"Why Does the iPhone not send/receive MMS?"
Apple chose not to offer this as a feature of iphone. E-mail can accomplish the same thing.
"is in the works?"
This has been asked and answered countless times. The forum search bar is on the right side of this page.
Apple has announced that MMS will be included in the 3.0 software due out this summer. Before you ask, all that has been announced is in this link:

Haven't been able to send/receive iMessages since upgrading from 4s to 6 plus

I bought iphone 6 plus 64G to upgrade from my iPhone 4S. I have not been able to send or receive iMessages to iPhone users in my contacts with my cell number. It always uses my email when I create a new iMessage and is able to send that way. I cannot receive iMessages from iPhones to my cell number. which is a huge problem. I have tried turning iMessages on and off and resetting my network and nothing seems to be working. How can I resolve the problem?

If you turn iMessage off and on, does it activate? If not, then see this troubleshooting support document. If you have difficulty activating FaceTime or iMessage - Apple Support
If it does activate, the go to Send & Receive and see if your phone number is listed there. It should be grayed out and checked.

Iphone4 does not send texts/imessage properly.

I've had this iphone for 18 months and it does not send texts/imessages properly. The iphone will be sending texts completely fine and it will have good 3G connection but then out of nowhere the phone will take over 20 minutes to send texts/imessages. Phone connection is out of the question. it does this on and off very frequently. It started doing it very rarely but its been doing it more and more often.

Are you still seeing the iMessages problem?
Have you tried sending iMessages on more than one Wi-Fi network?
If your still seeing the problem and you haven't already, try the suggestions in this Apple doc -> iOS: Troubleshooting Messages

Hi,
Do you mean you are not getting SMS text messages now ?
If so start here
Follow the Account management options until you are offered and email contact.
Explain the issue via email as only someone in Support can now remove your iPhone Number from iMessages if it has not "de-registered" itself correctly.

Xperia Z1 can not send/receive MMS after Lollipop update

Xperia Z1 can not send/receive MMS after Lollipop update, is anyone else having this issue. Any ideas on what I can do to restore MMS?

MMS need a data plan, there are certain carriers/networks that allow MMS to be sent w/o a data plan to their branded/locked phones, you will have to contact your carrier/network regarding this.
Is your phone braded or was it branded? did you flashed lollipop ?
