Photo Text Messages

Hi folks,
With the new iPhone plan, does anyone know how at&t is classifying the old photo text messages that old phone owners used to do... I know that they used to like to include this as a premium, and didn't see how this fit into this plan.
Granted we as iPhone owners can eMail them, but what happens when a older phone owner try's to text you a photo message? (sorry i forget the actual term).
I doubt that this woudl go against the normal 200 text message plan and wondered if anyone has already experienced this since i am a new iPhone owner...
Thanks!

Well, they are not exactly covered - they are not supported. So you can't send one, and if someone sends one to you, you will get a regular text message with a URL for you to visit. You have to log into the website to see the picture someone sent you.

  • Can't send photo text messages

    My iPhone 4S has suddenly stopped sending photo text messages. I get a message failure everytime unless it is sent through imessage. I tried moving the SIM card to my daughter's 4S and it did the same thing. Kicker is, after putting the original SIM card back into my daughter's 4S her's has the same problem. Is it the phone or card? Is there an easy fix?

    MMS is a carrier feature, talk to them about it.

  • Iphone 4 not receiving photo text messages - would welcome your thoughts

    Iphone 4 is receiving word texts but not photo texts - set up with MMS not imessage. Would welcome your thoughts.

    Initially it sounds like something with your backup data caused the issue with your new device but if you restored your device again without using the backup and the issue still exists it wouldn't appear to be the issue at all. Since the problem seems to only be with one person are you sure it's not an issue on their end and with their network that is stopping you from receiving the messages? Have you tried *228 option 2 to see if that helps?

  • Photos/text message

    Anyone know how to send a photo with a text message on the apple iphone?

    Apple could include an MMS client or capability with a firmware update, or allow a 3rd party app that provides for this, but will they?
    I'll bet you dollars to donuts that Apple is very much aware and has taken notice regarding what the iPhone can and can't do and includes or doesn't include compared to other phones in the smart phone or PDA category. In regards to MMS, I seriously doubt all members of the original iPhone development team had never owned or used a cell phone that included MMS capabllity. And Apple is not known for failure to do research. For whatever the reason or reasons, Apple decided not to support MMS, with no way of knowing if they have any plans to do so.

  • My iPhone 4 will not send photo text messages

    my ipnone 4 suddenly won't send photos in a txt msg.  I've tried rebooting but no luck.  It worked fine the other day.

    Reset network settings in Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.
    Sometimes something hinky goes on with the cell coverage, and that's one way to try to fix it.

  • I recently updated my Iphone 5s to ios8 from ios7(.something) and lost all photos, text messages, etc. and then restored it using an old Icloud backup from 2014. I want to change the Icloud backup to one from this year.

    Is it possible to do this, and how? My iphone 5s is still restoring currently in the Backup settings and there's an option that says "Stop restoring Iphone" if I tap it, it says "any data that has not been downloaded will not be restored or backed up in the future"... AND I KNOW that if I update my iphone from ios7 to ios8 that it is a big jump and is the reason why I lost everything on it. So please don't tell me that is the answer to my question, because it's not. I am clearly asking if I can change the icloud backup date from 2014 to one from this year. This is because my iphone asked me which backup I want to use to restore my stuff from after the ios8 update. I hope this question isn't too confusing!!

    Might be a better idea to look for more current threads that this one which is over a year old.

  • Photo text/email problem

    i know the iphone cant send normal photo text messages so I tried the [email protected] way. I also tried sending it to a tmobile user. both times they would get the text message but no photo. and if they reply to it and send me a photo i get there's with no problem. any ideas?

    It may be some limitation on the TMobile's MMS server that prevents pictures of a certain size to be sent via MMS...

  • Can't send photo text from iphone 4s to non iPhone

    I have a 4s iPhone but can't send photo text message to husband who doesn't have iPhone.  Can send to people with iphone though.  Need some help...

    I've been having problems with texting pictures since I updated to iOS 7 too but have yet to find a solution that actually works.  I have also tried to reset my phone numerours times, have MMS turned on, etc.  It doesn't matter if I'm trying to send the picture to another Apple user or not. 
    It usually takes about 3 or 4 tries to get the picture to go through, but in many cases I have to turn my phone off then back on for it to work.
    PS - I am in Canada & my service provider is Bell. However I don't believe it is a Bell issue as I didn't have any problems until AFTER the update.  Had hoped the latest update this week would've fixed it but if anything it seems worse.

  • When I send a photo via a text message...

    When I send a picuture via a text message using my iPhone 5, the text message contains all the photos that I have sent/received from a particular person.  Is there a way to stop this so that I only send one picture at a time?  I do not think I should have to send a text message that contains multiple pictures every time I send a picture to that same person.

    Hello and thank you for using the Palm Help Forums!
    Well, there are several things that can cause the device to reset.
    One, corrupted data. If you have corrupted data on the device, when trying to access it, it can and most likely will, cause the device to reset.
    Two, Low memory. If the device has low memory, the device will operate slow and most likely reset because it doesn't have a lot of free space. The free space remaining on the device is it's thinking room you could say. The smaller the thinking margin, the more likely it will not perfrom correctly. Best way to fix memory issues is to get an SD card and save all media files to the SD card.
    Three, incompatible software. If there is incompatible 3rd party programs installed on the device this can cause several problems. Resets, missing data, and other functions not performing correctly.
    The best thing I can recommend you do is a hard reset. A hard reset will erase all data on the device but restore all settings to default. Be sure to backup your data on a PC before performing a hard reset. For further information and instructions on how to do a hard reset go to kb.palm.com and look up article number 42094 in the solution ID search field.
    I hope this helps and let me know if you have any further questions or issues.

  • Can't send photos with a text message

    Every time I try to send a photo from my Camera Roll with a text message it thinks about it for an interminable time then drops leaving an exclamation mark next to the message. It used to be ok but stopped about a week ago. Any ideas anyone?

    You're not alone! I have been searching for resolving this problem but I still have the problem.
    Things you might want to check is that MMS is "on". Get to this by settings- messaging.
    Check that "cellular data" is on.
    try to power the iPhone off for a few minutes, then turn back on.
    The only thing I have not tried is to reset the network. What I have read is that it wil not affect contacts, media, music. Tap settings- general, then scroll to the botton and tap reset, then tap reset network settings.
    I alo wanted to mention that I have no problem sending a photo in an sms/mms message to other ios devices. The photo and text goes through. It's just with other reciepients that have a different device.
    I also have Verizon as the carrier and I tried the *228 to program. My phone is also supplied by an enterprise, my work, and reading this Apple troubleshooting, the APN (access network), could have something to do with it on the settings or configuration of the server.

  • Can't delete photos in camera roll received vis text message

    Somebody sent me two photos vis SMS. I downloaded them to my camera roll. I have deleted the orignal text message and photo but they still exist as thumbnails in my camera roll. They can't be highlighted or deleted on the phone. They won't open on the phone (expand). They won't sync to computer. Any ideas how to get rid of them?

    Hello DaVBMan,
    I have about 200 photos that somehow went from my laptop into my phone and I can't delete them. When I open the roll into thumbnail and hit the lower left button I do have the ability to multiple select but my only options are to share or copy them. I have the latest version of iPhone and iTunes installed. Any thoughts?

  • Since the software update my photo from LinkedIn now is attached to all of my text messages and I DO NOT WANT THAT.  How do I remove my photo from my test messages?

    Anyone know how to remove your own picture that is now attached to all text messages?  Since the software update (assume KitKat) my LinkedIn photo is now attached to all my text messages and I never set that up, nor can I figure out how to remove it!
    How do I remove my photo from my text messages?  Android RazrM.
    Help!  It is driving me crazy.  Thank you.

    Thanks, but this information was not useful.  First it was outdated (2012 and the software is 2013/2104)  in the Settings/Apps/All section there was no "Text Messaging" icon.  Under "Phone/Messaging" the clear cache was not possible, it was not available, an active option.
    VERIZON/GOOGLE -  I am still hoping to learn how to remove my photo from my text messages - why is this so difficult?  Why is something like this added without my permission or at my request?   May be a reason to jump ship to iOS.

    Kolyei, sorry for the late reply.
    Have your brother create a contact in his phone for himself. Inside his own contact, have him add his phone number and his iCloud address.
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive Have your brother select both his phone number and email addresses where he would like to receive iMessages.
