Receiving Picture Texts

How come I have had two people send me picture texts and I have not received them? I have signed up and am paying for the multimedia services. Anyone else having this problem?

Yep, inform all of your contacts to email pics instead of texting them, hope they have email access on their phone to do so, re-train their way of thinking so they understand e-mail is the "way to go" according to apple and iphone users who have no choice, and also to remember to send you such messages via email, being everyone else can MMS directly. If they are sending pics to multiple people at once or flash clips, don't be offended that you are always left out. Flash isn't supported, and no one is going to send MMS to multiple people, then send your message separately to email.
Also, convince your contacts that opening your sent pics from email is worth the trouble. Never mind the whole point of MMS is to send/receive pics instantly.
Oh yeah, if all of these things do actually take place, don't be surprised if you never get a text from viewmymessage.com. It works about 25% of the time. If you are lucky enough to receive your SMS notification, be sure to have a pen and paper ready. You will have to write down the id and password, as it is almost impossible to remember once you log into your email, and there is no capability to link, or cut n paste.
No problem what so ever! I gave up on pics via iphone, I really miss those days, I'm so out of the loop!

  • Why am I receiving picture texts as text messages and not iMessages?

    Why I am receiving pictures sent to my messages as texts but not an imessage? I know the person who's sending it also has an iPhone 4s, but everytime she sends me a picture I need to wait till I enable 3g before i receive it.  I have wi-fi all day at work but I disable 3g cause sprints 3g network is useless at my work.  No point keeping it on, but when she attempts to send me a picture from her iPhone I receive after I leave work and turn on 3g.  Does any one have an idea what exactly may be going on? Shouldn't I receive the picture text as an iMessage since I have wi-fi on all day...?  Thanks everyone

  • Sending/Receiving Picture Texts

    Can someone please help? When I receive a picture text it says "get media content now" but when I tap on that it just dings and displays the same message. Also, I can't send out picture texts. It just says, "unable to send". I had this fixed once but had to do a reset and now I can't remember what I did to fix it.
    Thanks!

        Hello LauraMac! Thanks for bringing your concern to our community. Thanks as well to my friend Ann154 for assisting! Yes, it would appear that having the device set against mobile data is preventing picture messaging. Disable WiFi by going to Settings> WiFi. Make sure that WiFi is turned off before trying your picture message again.

  • Can't receive picture texts from Verizon customers??

    My sister, mother in law and a bunch of friends have Verizon. Whenever they send me picture texts I never receive the pictures. My husband also has the same iPhone and he doesn't receive them either. We have no problem getting pics from other AT&T users, Sprint, etc.
    Does anyone know anything about this? I said it had something to do with the stupid 3G feud between AT&T and Verizon, but my husband said that was dumb. It's really annoying though! Thanks for any info.

    Its not a feud - Verizon use CDMA and most of the rest of thr world uses 3G GSM, or in a different terminlogy, one is Betamax and one is VHS. they both work, but not with each other.
    At the call level they will interwork but I suspect at the MMS level, they don't but I don't live in a CDMA area so don't suffer from that.

  • Why can i not receive picture texts from my contacts

    Ever since my phone upgraded to the new system, I cannot receive any picture texts from my friends.  my text messages indicate I have a new message (friends name and no subject) and when I click on it, it brings up a new text message for me to send.  I know they are pictures because I ask my friends if they had sent me something.  I use this feature a lot and it gets annoying to have my friends email it to me instead of texting it, not all my friends have smart phones and cannot email me the pictures all the time.  Can someone please help?

    Terimich6,
               Is your mobile data turned on? And if you long press on the picture in the text can you save attachment? If you can do that try viewing them in your gallery.

  • Re: sending and receiving picture texts

    Hi, I have an iphone 4s with ios 7.  I can send and receive picture messages from everyone except for one person.  He also has an iphone 4s but for some reason when I try to send him a pic it says not delivered. I try several more times but with the same result.  I also don't receive any that he sends to me.  I really need your
    help...any suggestions as to what is happening.  Thank you so much
    Pat

    Hi and thank you for responding.  He does have an account (sprint) that includes MMS.  I did one time receive one picture from him and that was it.  I have not been able to get any pictures to go through.  Although I am able to send pictures to every one else and receive.  Could there by some setting on my end that isn't right?  I am fairly new to the iphone.  Thank you again

  • HT4528 I can't receive picture text from a Verizon Blackberry to my Verizon iPhone5

    My friend and I both have Verizon as a carrier.  She has tried to send me numerous picture texts and can't.  However, she can send pictures to everyone else with no issues. I can also get pictures from others with no issues. It seems really odd. I can send her pictures with no issues.  We both rebooted and are using the most up-to-date versions of the software.  She deleted my contact info and re-entered me and still having the issue. She gets an error everytime she tries to send the text. Any ideas or suggestions?

    If she gets an error when she tries to send you a picture, the she nees to contact Verizon and/or blackberry to troubleshoot it. The problem can not be your phone since it's never even leaving hers to begin with.

  • Updated my 3GS to 6.0.1 now I cannot send or receive picture text unless I'm wi-fi with I message. ??

    Updated my iPhone 3GS to 6.0.1 and now can't send or receive picture messages unless using wi-fi iMessage. ???

    Notify your carrier.  Make sure MMS is provisioned for your account.  Also be sure it's enabled in your setting menu

  • Picture text

    My daughter had a blackberry torch 9800 for about a year then about 6 months gave it to me. She never had any problems sending or receiving picture text. I have never been able to! Talked with serveral customer service reps...for up to an hour and they cant find out why. i wondered if when my daughter first got phone she registered a blackberry account could her number still be stored somehow and thats not letting my messages go thru?

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    You need to treat this as a normal sell/buy of a used BB. As such, all of the steps in this KB really need to be followed:
    KB05099 Steps to take before selling or after buying a previously owned BlackBerry smartphone
    What that will do is take everything back to as if it was fresh out of the box, with no service and no BB-services from the carrier. Then, you establish everything brand new, with no "pollution" from anything from the prior user.
    Good luck!

  • Cannot send or receive group text if someone is not on an apple phone

    Does anyone else have this problem or have a solution to this issue?  Has been like this since I got the phone and Apple says it is Verizon AND Verizon says it is Apple!  I cannot send or receive a group text!  Help!

    i have the same issue with AT&T. My phone receives picture and group texts just fine, but responding to group texts fails.
    Disabling MMS allows you to send texts to multiple people at the same time but doesn't set up the group chat environment so that responses can be automatically sent to everyone as well. you end up receiving text responses from each recipient in a separate thread.
    AT&T has also stated that it is an iPhone issue, but I have yet to ask apple what they think the problem is. Since the issue sounds identical to KKONO's, I'd assume the response would be that I should speak with AT&T about it. :\
    It doesn't really make sense that the carrier would be the one at fault since if MMS were really dysfunctional it would have much more widespread affects than just disabling group chat response. Send/Receive picture text and receive group chat should also be disabled. Since the problem is isolated only to responding to group chat, I'd think it's more likely an issue with apple iOS.
    Any thoughts?

  • Picture texts

    I am unable to send or receive picture texts. I have tried sending to Verizon and non Verizon customers. I have had people with and without Verizon send pictures to me, and I can never receive them. It always says message failed when I am the sender, and it always says connecting when I try to view a picture text, but it never opens it. I contacted Verizon a couple of days ago and she said she fixed it, but after two days I am still having the same issue.

    Thank you for your posting and I am sorry for the frustration this has caused you! I can definitely assist you. 
    I would like to ask you to test your picture messaging capabilities for both incoming and outgoing and send yourself a picture message. Please use your mobile number as the destination, so we can test this. Please also power your phone off and then back on before attempting.
    If you continue to have problems with picture messaging, please send me a PM with your contact information and I will be able to reach out to you personally and resolve this for you. 
    If your issue is resolved once you follow the steps above and send the message, please post back so we know your issue has been resolved. 
    Thank you very much and have a great day!

    Do you have MMS turned on?  If so, then report the problem to your carrier.  MMS is sent on the carrier's network.

  • Problem with non iPhone users receiving my text sent pictures. Can I make them smaller files?

    Problem with non iPhone users receiving my text sent pictures.  Can I make them smaller files? I know that is possible for email sent pics.

    My bad,  It was a Verizon problem.  When they upgraded my phone they were supposed to remove all blocks on messaging . Found out they did not do this.  All messaging now works.  Thanks for listening.

  • Receiving picture with text

    have searched this topic, but only old posts. if i receive a text with a picture attached, and push the download button, it just sits there saying 'downloading" and never stops. i've tried with wifi connected and disconnected. i've seen that if the sending contact has a "1" in front of the number it may effect things, but that is not the case in sender or reciever contact lists. so whats the deal folks, one thing i could say for sprint, it just worked... thanks

    i don't "follow", facebook or tweet. but you can call me at xxx-xxx-xxxx anytime during the course of most days. i did actually get a picture thru from a buddy up in chicago on thursday, but he sent two, and the second one, sent within a couple mins of the first, did not come and would not download, so i don't know. he is also a verizon customer. call whenever you like, chances are i'll answer, and see if we can solve this. thanks.

  • Can't receive pictures in text messages after 2.2 upgrade - Please Help!

    I have been having an issue with my Samsung Fascinate. Ever since the 2.2 update I cannot receive pictures people send me through text. It just says downloading and never does anything. I never had this problem on 2.1. Does anyone know why this is happening and what the fix is? Thank you

    Hello AyaniB_VZW
    Yes, I would see the message and it would just say "downloading". I only use wireless when I am at home, I always turn it off when I am asleep or away from my house so it does not use my battery.
    I think I might have figured something out. I un installed the app JuiceDefender. Whenever I was on the phone with support I had my phone un locked and waiting for the test messages from them that worked. Then later on it would stop working but I would receive the messages when my phone was locked in my pocket.  When the phone is locked the app JuiceDefender shuts down all data. Maybe this was causing an issue when I received the messages and my phone was locked. I have removed the app and tested a few times. Each time was successful. We will see how it goes. Not sure if this was the problem or not. I did not have JuiceDefender when I was on 2.1 so maybe this was causing the problem.
    Thanks
