Receiving and/or sending photos by text

I just got the new Iphone and someone was trying to text a photo to me. Is this possible? I also used to text photos on my Razr phone very easily is this not a feature on this Iphone?

The iPhone does not support MMS, which is the protocol for sending pictures as text messages. Instead you use email. To send a picture choose the picture, then tap the icon on the lower left of the picture and address it to <phone number>@<their carrier's mms address> You can find this on the carrier's web site. to receive a photo just tell your friends to send it to your email address from the SMS application on their phone. This has the advantage that it doesn't use any of your text message credits against your limit.

  • Does texting and/or sending photos via text use up my data allowance?

    I am just trying to confirm this for a friend---that texting and sending photos via text does not use up my data allowance. Can anyone confirm this for me?

    After thinking about this a bit more, we would need to know HOW you text and send photos.
    Sending SMS/MMS text/photos DOES NOT use up your data allowance. This is what I assumed when you simply said "texting and sending photos via text".
    After thinking further, SMS/MMS is not the only way people "text and send photos via text. For example, iPhones can use iMessage and THOSE messages would use up your data allowance for actual messages sent via iMessage to/from other iPhones.
    Other apps have their own texting capabilities which will ALSO use up your data allowance. Examples would be Facebook, Skype, Twitter, Instagram, Tango, etc...
    If you are simply sending via SMS/MMS, then no you are not using up your data allowance. If you are utilizing some other method, then the answer could very well be yes.

  • Restrict receiving and sending photos via texting

    Is there a way or an app that will restrict the ability to receive and send photos via texting?

    You are able to receive and send an MMS with MMS Messaging turned off at Settings > Messages?

  • I have tried to send photos through text messaging and it will not send. I thought my iPhone 3 was giving out so I got my iPhone 4 last night and still can't send photos through text message. What is the deal??

    Also MMS is supported on a carrier by carrier basis. While mostly every carrier does support ths feature make sure that your carrier allows this functionality.

  • Send photos via text

    Is it possible to send photos via text message instead of email?

    No. This is called MMS and is not a function of the iphone.
    E-mail works as you can send and receive pictures to and from your iphone, to and from other peoples cell phones.

  • IPhone 4 IOS 7 - unable to send photos via text

    I have been unable to send photos via text since updating to IOS7.  All of my settings are up to date and this problem occurs on wifi, 3G and makes no difference if I send the photo via message first or from my camera.  I have read all the troubleshooting guides and nothing has provided a permanent solution.  Resetting the network seems to work for a limited time before the photos come up with the same "not delivered" icon again. 
    Does anyone know why the reset would work and then stop working if I haven't switched my phone off?
    Thanks

    You may have to backup and restore through iTunes. Have you contacted your carrier about this since this feature is carrier-provided?

  • I can't send photos through text on iPhone 4s

    It used to be able to send photos through text and now I keep getting the exclaimation point that it did not send. Both my Wifi and Data are working, I tried it through both. Any one else having this problem?

    I'm having the same exact problem. I'm using the original iPhone 4 and it refuses to send or recieve picture messages ever since I've upgraded the OS earlier today. The network is fine and theres no problem with the hardware, it just cancels sending the message right after I hit the send button. People who have tried sending me pictures report saying that the massage appears to send just fine on both iPhones and other phone brands, yet it never goes through. It appears there's a bug in the new operating system, and I hope it gets fixed soon. I'm surprised a bug this big went unnoticed.

  • Treo 700wx: Sending photos via Text Message

    Spoke with Sprint people and I was told my phone doesn't have the capability to send photos via text.
    Does anyone know of a workaround to allow me to send photos from thumbnail photos?

    welcome to the palm help forums
    Go to the thumbnail window and take your stylus and hold down the picture and you should see some options.

  • Droid Charge - 3rd one, same problem with sending photos via text (MMS)

    Sending photos via text messaging (stock messaging client) does not work consistently.
    In a 4G area, the texts go through fine with minimal errors (perhaps 1 out of 20 failures to send)
    In a 3G or less, the texts give me an error message of "Failed" or pending, whether or not the recipient gets it (usually the recipient does not get the message) - this is true of recipients with AT&T, Sprint and Verizon service with smartphones and Blackberries.
    If I do not delete the thread, I get the message "Too many unsent multimedia messages" and the phone will not initiate the send.  The phone will, however, continue to try to sending the photo, causing very rapid battery drain.
    The last phone was replaced because the phone was not closing out the message, according to the last technician to whom I spoke.
    Is there something else I can do to get the full functionality of the phone I paid for?  This is an extremely frustrating issue, and makes me regret switching to Verizon.

        Hi moonchef!
    Sending pictures is something I do on a daily basis, so I know how important this is! It is true that pictures have to be sent over the VZW network and not Wifi. I would like to ask you if you resent the same picture that failed? Or did you send the same picture again, but in a separate message? Please try sending it again separately and let me know the results. Thanks!

  • "photo delivery failed" yet photos are received and keep sending

    i have the first gen iphone and have a problem since november, sending photos...getting the error message "Photo Delivery Failed" yet photos are received and it keeps sending it 3 - 6 times. the first time it happened it sent up to 40 times to the annoyance of my family....unfortunately i had sent the photo to several family members! i shut off the phone completely. but once i rebooted the next day, it continued resending and giving me the error message, just not so many times now. i am reluctant to send photos to anybody now. but i know it still happens because i send photos from my iphone for work purposes to my work email quite often. (my employer won't allow to install itunes to download them on my work computer...)

    Ok, I'm not the only one having this problem! Anyone? I've tried deleting the yahoo account and reinstalling and that hasn't worked.

  • Cant send photo through text....via camera on lock screen

    I cant seem to find a way to text a pic or email a pic using the camera function via the lock screen. Try to access the camera from the lock screen...take a pic and try to forward it, send it etc. You cant. The function does not work. You have to go back to the home screen and then access your picture in photos. This was also a problem in ios 6.

    or you can go to the messages app and add the photo there or take the pictures there
