Send/recieve mms from non iphone users

I have an iphone 4s and I just got it recently. I am unable to send and recieve picture messages to non iphone users. How can I fix that? I have tried resetting the phone, turning on and off mms and imessage, and plugging it into the computer. What else can be done? I'm on verizon wireless and ave the most recent version of IOS

Does your plan support MMS? If you have turned MMS on on the phone (Settings app > Messages > MMS Messaging), but it still doesn't receive them, you should probably look to Verizon for assistance.

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.

Workaround for sending/recieving pics from non iPhone phones?

So, it seems that no one who tested the iPhone thought that sending pictures back and forth to other phones was a very important feature, as we're seeing that there's no way to send a pic via SMS.
So, anyone know how I can send pictures to my GF on her Verizon phone? Or, how she can send pictures to me? (i.e. can I email to some address at verizon that translates it to an SMS, and/or can she SMS a picture to my email?)
Also, it would be good for Apple to add a preference for taking lower-resolution pictures (or some feature that auto-downsizes them when sent via email or (hopefully soon) SMS) so that those of us who send pics all day don't fill up the memories of ppl whose phones don't have 8GB of storage.
Lastly, how exactly do I upload a picture to a web site? I was trying to upload one to my LiveJournal and the "choose image" button was greyed out in Safari on my iPhone.
After one day, I am loving the phone, but I think a lot more needs to be done on the preferences end.

In the mean time, your girl friend needs to send
her
photos to your email address instead of your phone
and you can see them in your inbox. You should be
able to send her photos by sending the photo to
(her
#)@vtext.com. Example [email protected]
that doesn't work for me. Sent myself an "email"
with photo attached last night to
[email protected] and it still has not arrived,
not even as a blank email stripping out the
attachment. That is a BIG downfall, to not even
receive them
would not work sending it to an iPhone, as the data package doesn't include a @mms.att.net address. (meaning there's no option to email [email protected])
you can however send any email to [email protected] with pictures attached. (meaning you send the email to an email address synced to the iPhone and use mail to open it)
to send messages to others, (verizon specifically) you'd send an email using mail with image attached to [email protected]

Recieving Pics from non-iPhone users

How can a Razr user send me a pic without using email, since razr has no email?!

Larry Gualano,
Most MMS providers offer MMS to email capability. AT&T does for example.
If you put the email address instead of the telephone number in the to field, it will send it to email.
Hope this helps,

Can't send nor receive photos to/from non-iPhone users

I have Metro PCS and I have unlimited data and ever since I updated to iOS 8, I haven't been able to send picture messages to non-iPhone users. I have tried everything I've found online and nothing works. It was working PERFECTLY before we updated to iOS8! I could send picture messages to anyone without any problem. The rest of my family, who share the same family plan with me, can send pictures just fine (they're all android users). However, my sister and I, who are iPhone 5s users, can't send nor receive picture messages. Every time we try to send a pic to an android user, it immediately says not delivered. It doesn't even try to send it. And it's not a problem with my data because I can watch youtube videos with my 4g just fine. I even turn off the Wi-Fi to test it out and it works well. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

I'm happy that it works for you. It may not be an option for the OP. It certainly wouldn't work for me as I have a fair number of friends with basic phones. Again, Whatsapp is only viable as a replacement for SMS if everyone you want to message is willing to download and use it. If everyone the OP knows is not wiilling to do that, they may need to resolve their existing problem.

No texts from non-iphone users

I can't receive text messages from non-iphone users, but they can receive my messages. I can get their phone calls. Can anyone help me out? This started later today.

Go to Settings>Messages and then make sure that Send as SMS, AND MMS Messaging is on. Some times it helps to have cellular data on as well. If this doesn't work, and it most likely is is a service problem. Contact them Immedality to get this fixed.

IPhone 4s wont send picture messages to non iPhone users.

I've tried reinstalling the IOS 6, changing the settings, shutting off the phone. I can not send picture messages to non iPhone users but can send texts and receive texts and receive picture messages. just can't send. Help.

jannwj, sending and receiving pictures is very important these days because we try to capture the moment all the time. I know this issue is frustrating because I take, send, and receive pictures at least 20 times a day. I researched your issue and did not find this as a known issue. Do you receive a error message? I recommend checking your message settings to ensure they are enabled. I have listed the steps below:
1) From the home screen, select Settings.
2) Select Messages.
3) From MMS Messaging, drag the switch left or right to enable / disable. Enabled when set to ON.
Please let me know if this helps. Also ensure the data network is enabled. I have listed steps below:
1) From the home screen, select Settings.
2) Select General.
3) Select Cellular.
4) Drag the Cellular Data switch left or right to enable / disable cellular data.
On /Celluar data enabled
Off /Cellular data disabled
Keep us posted with the status of your issue.

If you have cell service with a text plan, yes.

Can't receive SMS texts from non-iPhone users

My phone suddenly stopped letting me receive texts from non iPhone users yesterday. Since then, I have powered my phone on and off, reset the network, and power cycle. My mother has been in the hospital and I have to be here with her all day. I have no time to go to a verizon store. I've only had the phone a week and I'm really disappointed with this. Seeing my mom is in the hospital, I really need this to be working, but I'd don't even know of something else to try.

Ktoole, I can understand how frustrating this could be. How long has this been an issue? Have you ever been able to receive texts from non-iPhone users? Do you have iMessage on or off? Have you tried to restore the phone through iTunes?
