Can't receive MMS from iPhones

Hello Folks,
Just picked up the Fascinate 3 days ago. LOVING it so far.
That being said, I am having an issue whereby I cannot receive MMS messages sent from iPhone users. I've tried with 3 different iPhones with no luck. I've also tried a couple of other devices (LG Titanium and Blackberry Storm) and am able to receive MMS from these phones, so I think the issue may be limited to iPhones.
Has anyone else experienced something similar to this?
Thanks in advance for your input!
- DB

I have provided some information below that may help with receiving a MMS message.
The Samsung Fascinate supports the following file types and formats.
Pictures
PNG, GIF, A-GIF, WBMP and BMP
Formats
Video
H.263, H.264, MPEG4, 3GP,
3G2 (v9), Xvid and DivX formats
Music
WAV, MP3, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, AMR-NB,
AMR-WB, WMA (v9/10), EVRC, QCELP, MIDI, and SP-MIDI formats
In order to receive a MMS message, the message containing a picture, video, or sound must be one of the supported file formats above. The MMS message also has to be within a required size format. I have provided the size requirements below:
Ensuring picture / video message does not exceed file size limit
Devices with a .3 megapixel camera can send / receive a maximum file size of 100 KB.
Devices with a 1.2 - 2 megapixel camera can send / receive a maximum file size of 350 KB.
Devices with a 3.0+ megapixel camera can send / receive a maximum file size of 500 KB.
Lowering the camera resolution will reduce the image file size.
The maximum file size that can be sent from an email to a device is 3 MB. When any message over 350 KB is sent to the device, the file is reduced in size to be under 350 KB prior to delivery. If a device sends a 500 KB file to a device with a lower file size limit the file will be reduced to a file size acceptable by the receiving device.
Many devices are capable of sending messages that exceed intercarrier file size limits (typically 300 - 600 KB).A message that exceeds the other carrier's limits will be rejected and not reach the intended recipient.
***The issue you are experiencing may have to do with file formats, or file sizes that are being sent to the device. Try having the user send another MMS of the supported file (types listed above) and decreasing the size of the file to meet the ranges (listed above). I may also advise the user to send a MMS message to another VZW subscriber (if possible). This will help determine whether or not it is a file/size issue, or a carrier issue.
I hope this helps.

I dont't receive sms from abroad with iphone 4

I don't receive sms from abroad with iphone4; I didn't change my operator. I received messages before so what ?

Yes. I do receive iMessages and I can send text messages and iMessages. The only thing that does not work is receiving text messages from abroad...

Don't receive MMS from other carriers (such as Virgin Mobile USA)

My mother has a camera phone from Virgin Mobile USA and sometimes likes to send MMS pictures to me on my BlackBerry (MetroPCS). The problem is, I've never received any. I have also sent MMS to my Berry from my Virgin Mobile phone with the same results.
I do receive picture attachments in email on my Berry, which I suppose is a way around the problem, but am really curious as to why I would not receive MMS pictures.
I am able to send MMS from my BlackBerry such as to YouTube's email upload service.
I disabled the option to block MMS from anonymous numbers as well, so am at a loss.
Thank you.

Check with you carrier support to know whether intra-operator MMS is supported or not.

Can no longer send/receive MMS from Non-iPhones

Just recently (after I updated my iPhone 4S to the iOS 7.0.4), I have been unable to send or receive MMS messages from anyone who does not have an iPhone. I've tried to restart my phone and reset my network settings (temporary fix - it'll let me send or receive maybe 1 MMS from non-iphone user immediately after restart and/or network settings reset and then it will stop working again). I have no issues sending/receiving through iMessage to iPhone users, but for non-iPhone users, it will say "Not Delivered." This issue is both on Wi-Fi and Cellular Data. Has anyone encountered this same issue --- AND found a solution???? I don't have the option to back-up my data (pics/videos, etc) and do a complete restor of my phone to factory settings - so any solutions not involving that would be greatly appreciated!!

lindajj, Yikes!! I would be so lost without my text messages. I use my text for everything these days. Let's make sure that we get you up and running with no issues. Does everything else work on your cell phone (calls and data)? Are you using the text message application that came on the phone or a 3rd party application from the Play Store? Also, do you get any kind of error messages when you try to send out a text message? Please keep me posted.

Why is my iPhone not receiving MMS from blackberry's?

I am able to receive picture messages from other iPhones but when a blackberry user tries, it never comes through. Is this a carrier issue or an issue with my iPhone?

I've been having the same problem! It's both sending and receiving though. I can send and receive pictures from iPhones right away. But when I send a picture to a blackberry, they receive it hours later ... always overnight (even if I sent it in the morning). Same with receiving a picture from a blackberry, I wake up and have received the picture they sent hours ago. Also, I have only had this problem since I updated my phone. I would say its the blackberry, but the blackberry owner I'm trying to send to hasn't had problems sending/receiving to other updated iphones.

Cannot receive MMS from other phones?

Hey there. I'm having trouble with receiving MMS messages from my 8800, even from other people on my network(AT&T). I went into the options menu and enabled 'multimedia reception' and 'automatic retreval', and unchecked all the notificattions and filtering options. The only reason I can see that I'm not receiving messages is because I don't have a MicroSD card in the slot... am I on the right track, or am I totally off the mark?

Hi LegendaryKA8,
Welcome to BlackBerry world.
Did you try sending MMS from your device? Was it successful? Alternatively check with your operator that they've provisioned MMS for you.

I can't receive mms from android users since up dating to ios6. Has anyone else had this problem and know how to fix it?

The message comes through, but has a question mark instead of the picture. Has anyone got any ideas? I don't really want to go back to old firmware.

Is it formatted Mac OS Extended (journaled)? If not do so using Disk Utility.
P.S. If you store live fies on an external disk you need to back it up just like data on your internal disk or if and when that disk crashed then, poof, all your music will be gone.
If you do not already have one, purchase an external drive to dedicate to Time Machine backups. Then in the Time Machine exclusions list, remove the image of the music offload disk. Then both your internal and external live drives will be backed up to the Time Machine disk.

Sending & receiving emails from abroad

Hello.
I am wondering if a kind soul could help with my problem.
I am now based in Spain and have always used my btinternet.com email address, through my local ISP using POP3 mail.btinternet.com servers. However, just 2 days ago it stopped functioning giving me an error both sending and receiving. The set up of the mail servers seems to be fine.
I recall having a discussion with someone that said that you have to use your local ISP mail server as your outgoing server - but this never was a problem - however, maybe my ISP has updated their s/w or reqs.
Can anyone confirm that this is true - or should I be able to connect to BT mail servers anyway?
FYI I am apparently still on BTYahoo (or whatever it is) and connect using outlook. I am able to sign into email from the web (which is a pain).
TIA,
Gremalkin.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Yes, I have tried various settings (from old posts an what have you), but with the above I am still getting:
Send test e-mail message: The connection to the server was interrupted. If this problem continues, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).
when I try and send a test email message... This looks like an ISP problem doesn't it? I am dreading trying to call as my Spanish isn't great!
G.
P.S. Maybe an anti-virus problem?

Can other phone brands receive mms from an iPhone?

Are other phones able to receive a picture from an iPhone? If I send a picture, am I sending a 5mp photo in the message?

The size of the picture you send is set in the MMS Settings (Settings...General...Network...Cellular Data Network...MMS Max Message Size.
On iOS4 it defaults to 2MB but the recipient may not be able to receive and image as big as this. Depends on their phone model and their network provider

Would anyone know if I need to activate some Iphone 4s settings to receive pics thru MMS?

You should not have to. Check with your carrier to make sure your account is properly provisioned.
