Pictures sent to my iphone 6 via text messaging are stuck in downloading phase

Pictures that are being sent to me via text messaging are stuck in "downloading" phase.  I can not receive any pictures on my new iphone6.  Is anyone else experencing this?

Found a great post that had a bunch of possible solutions (over at https://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20131217195803AAOe6WV )
Lucky for me the first one worked--went into settings->messages and turned iMessage off, waited a few seconds, turned it back on.  Images came through just fine after that.  We'll see if it lasts.

    I-phone 4 camera roll will not save pictures sent to me via text messages, it just gives me a message stating it is updating my library, then takes me back to the camera roll where the picture is no where to be found (other than in my original text message).

    RESOLVED!!! I logged on to my Straight Talk online account, and did a Tech Chat. They immediately gave me a direct phone number and a Reference PIN number and asked me to contact their iPhone specialty support. I called (of course the gentleman's accent was very difficult for me to understand, but managed with asking continually for clarity). He walked me through several tests, setting changes and had me get on my wifi to obtain the latest APN settings. None of his efforts worked ad it was obviously NOT my Straight Talk iPhone 5, 64GB CDMA (no SIM) - it was something with their setting on their end on my account. I was placed on hold a few times and he would come back on to have me try to get on Safari and even Google... after the 3rd on-hold, he returned and asked me to try to use my data again without the wifi turned on and BINGO it worked... I still do not have my wifi turned on and I'm still receiving texts from YESTERDAY too while I was away from wifi service. IF you come across this issue - please call Straight Talk and/or log on to your Straight Talk online account and talk to an online customer service representative and get their direct line phone number for iPhone support and have your Reference PIN number available. Good Luck

  • Picture messaging via text messages to non-iPhone users.

    Hi I have an iPhone 4 with bell, I am unable to send pictures via text message/to non-iPhone users. I've been able to send them before using wifi, but not now. I've tried turning off iMessage, resetting network settings, mms on SMS on, I don't have data but wifi always worked before hand. I've tried sending to iPhones using text message, to HTC, and a blackberry but neither work and I cannot receive from the black berry nor HTC, please help, this is frustrating.

    MMS is a carrier feature, so make your queries to Bell.

  • Iphone 5 crops picture when send it via text message.to  with iphone 5 the photo they get is always cropped on the right side.  Any help?

    I have iphone 5 and when I take picture and then later send it via text message to another person with iphone 5 the photo they get is always cropped on the right side.  Any help?

    Make sure the contact has a 10-digit number, not just the 7-digit number.
    If that isn't it, does the problem only happen with iMessages, SMS or MMS messages?
    Try tapping Settings > Messages, then turn SMS and MMS off. Test, then repeat again only leaving SMS or MMS on.
    This Apple doc has some good tips too -> iOS: Troubleshooting Messages

  • IPhone 6 Plus video quality is extremely poor when on Facetime and when sharing via text/message

    I upgraded to the 6 plus from the 4S. Everyone that I facetime with and send videos to via text/message tells me how incredibly horrible the video quality is....especially in comparison to the way it was before I upgraded from the 4S to the 6Plus.  These are people that I have always sent videos to and Facetimed with before, and they all say they can really tell a difference.  So frustrating that my three year old iphone 4S is better than the new 6 plus 128gig that I just paid $500 for.  We have little ones at home and this is one of the main things we use the phone for....to send vidoes and to Facetime with grandma and grandpa.
    I'm on the same carrier (Verizon) that I have always been and have not changed anything.  Is there a setting on the phone I can change that will help with this?  I love the phone otherwise, but if it can't do this right, I'm going to return it and get my money back.
    Can anyone help? Anyone experiencing this???
    Thank you.

    I have the same issue!! Why isn't there any answers to this problem? I became the laughing stock who owns a $1000 iPhone that can't share videos with family and friends.  Please help!!!

    If you still can't send or receive MMS messages
    To send and receive MMS messages on your iPhone, verify that your wireless carrier supports MMS2.
    Ensure that MMS Messaging is turned on in Settings > Messages.
    Verify that your phone is able to access cellular data.
    Some carriers allow you to edit your APN (Access Point Name), which may prevent MMS from working.
    If you are roaming outside your calling area, make sure you have Data Roaming turned on in Settings > General > Cellular to send or receive MMS content.
    While on a phone call, you will be unable to send or receive MMS messages when using an EDGE, GPRS, or any CDMA cellular data network. After the phone call ends, you will receive any incoming messages. If you tried to send an MMS message, you may need to send it again.
    If the issue persists and your wireless carrier has confirmed that your wireless account is provisioned2 for MMS, restore the iPhone.

  • Cannot send pictures via text message since software update...HELP!!!!

    Although I am a BIG FAN of BB Torch (have had several), BUT since it was discontinued, I had no choice but to "up grade" to BB Z10...IT was working just fine...NOT as good as the Torch though, but I was getting use to it...TILL the new software came along last week (Tuesday), so after doing just that, up dating my phone, I saw that I was NOT able to send or receive pictures via text message. I did called ATT, deleted everything, resintalled my data/information...and STILL nothing.
    I "google" the problem, and was sooooo SAD to find out that I was NOT the only one, and that THIS problem is AN OLD ONE (2013), but BB has done nothing to fix it.
    I did read on of the technical support answers and followed every single step, but STILL NOTHING, NADA...no able to send neither receive pictures...PLEASE, PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!

    Well, interesting... glad it worked out.

    Ever since I updated my iphone 4 to 5.1.1, I am not able to send more than one picture at a time in a text message. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Yes, I know the photos stored on the device... But which app are you accessing the photos with? Which app do you want to be able to highlight more than one pic at a time in?
    There are literally thosands of apps that access the iOS Photo Library - which one(s) are you using?

    You will need a document storage, player, or manager to save the file (DropBox, File Manager, Box, VLC, MoliPlayer for example).
    To actually save the file, with it open in iMessage, tap the file icon (lower left) and select the app to save it in.
