Sending and receiving picture messages

I was given a torch as a gift recently. I like the phone but can't send or receive picture messages. The service allows it, as I had no problems on my motorola doing it. Is there somehere I can go to update the software to get the option? I have looked through everything here, the option is just not there at all like the manual says it should be.

You must have the BIS BlackBerry Data Plan in order to use "data", such your picture MMS messages and to get the RIM push email functions, as well as additional BlackBerry data services such as the internet browser, Facebook for BlackBerry, BlackBerry Messenger, and much more.
So, as recommended, call your carrier and inquire about having the BlackBerry Data Plan added to your account.
Good luck.

Sending and receiving picture messages? is that supposed to work?

its not working but the landscape and copy and paste and voice memo and search and everything else seems to be working...but i though that we could send and receive picture messages now through text?

you can if your telco allows you too. call them and make sure it is enabled on your service.

I bought an unlocked iphone 5 with 32mb especially so I could use any wireless carrier that I wanted to. Why does apple hold me prisoner to use only the carriers that apple wants????? The only thing I can't do is send and receive picture messaging.

I specifically bought and paid for an unlocked iphone 5 from APPLE so that I could use any wireless carrier I wanted to. I have been paying ATT WAYYY too much money the last 20 years. But for some reason APPLE wants to keep me from using any wireless carrier - and I can only use the carriers that APPLE will let me. WHY???? I paid my money!! I expected a lot more than I got. The only thing I can't do is send or received picture messages, but it makes me so Mad that I can';t do that!!!

If you bought an unlocked iPhone then it will work with any carrier but will work only under the restrictions or requirements the carrier sets for its customers. Apple has nothing to do with that. You are describing a problem of restricted access created by the carrer. If you cannot carry out the functions you want, talk to the carrier and see what limits they are placing on you. An unlocked iPhone is fully capable of all functions the carrer allows.

HT1976 I recently downloaded the 6.1.2 update and after the update was installed i lost the ability to access my cellular data (safari, imessage, facetimeand similar applications won't work) and the ability to send and receive picture messages. what happe

i have already tried reseting the phone in every way possible several times as well as toggling different settings that has to do with the use of such things but nothing works. i've even called the support line for my company but they basically had me do everything i had already done over again.

Is your storage too full?
Check Settings > General > Usage and make sure your available space is absolutely no less than 10% of your device's total space.

Just got the LG G2 and it will not allow me to upload pictures to FB. I can send and receive picture messages via texting but that is it. I've tried a hard reset twice, I've uninstalled FB and reinstalled it, and I've tried uploading it 3 different ways--

I've tried a hard reset twice, I've uninstalled FB and reinstalled it, and I've tried uploading it 3 different ways--through my photo editor app, through the gallery, and through the FB app. Nothing works. Any suggestions? My Wi-Fi connection is great....

Really sounds like you are doing it right, but the FB app is notorious for being buggy after each update, which is fairly frequent. Try to upload via the FB webpage in Chrome on the phone. You can try the mobile or desktop verion of the page by tapping menu settings in the browser. Its a little different but it'll let you know if its the app or the phone.

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

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

Why can't I send or receive picture messages on my iPhone 4s?

Make sure that MMS is turned on in Settings. Sometimes that can get turned off during an update, if you recently did that. Next try would be a reset. If that doesn't help, then contact the carrier, as SMS and MMS are carrier specific functions.

Why won't my iPhone 5 send or receive picture messages?

I recently purchased a new iPhone 5 on Vodafone, since I've had it I've been unable to send or receive picture messages.
I have rang Vodafone several times and each time they reset and send through the correct settings to my phone. Each time also not being successful.
I spoke with a lady from Vodafone this morning and she claimed it was a problem with the iPhone 5 model and not being able to pick up 3G aswell as the 4/4S models.
This massively disappoints me as I love the apple products and was looking forward to upgrading to the 5, now I wish I stuck with the 4S.
Will there be an update or some kind of instruction to fix this issue?

Have you called AppleCare?
No, it doesn't have anything to do with picking up 3G at all. I sent at least 5 pictures back and forth last night on my iPhone 5 with another person who has an iPhone 5.
You do have MMS turned on? And you are connected to cell data?

IPhone 5 will not send or receive picture messages ? Tried everything !

Recently purchased iPhone 5 and have found that I am unable to send or receive picture messages I have tried all of the suggested fixes and still will not work ! I find this extremely annoying and a bit ridiculous that considering the iPhone 5 is meant to be the best phone available to date I can't send or receive a simple mms message this needs sorted !

First does your carrier contract support MMS?
If so, is Settings > Messages > MMS Messaging turned ON?

Why can't I send and receive pictures?

I have the 3G and it is my understanding that the update to allow a fix for picture MMS messages was done a long time ago. I did the update (along with my wife) and for some reason, I have never been able to send or recieve pictures? On the other hand, my wife does it just fine.
I do get the option when clicking on pictures to send through MMS and I also have the camera icon when sending a text. So I can upload picture to MMS but I always get the dreaded red exclamation point when trying to send a picture. And I still receive the dreaded website and code to view pictures sent to me.
I have no idea why I can do this and my wife can? Anyone have any ideas?

True story. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3573
Note: If your iPhone meets the system requirements, your wireless account may still need to be provisioned to send and receive MMS messages. Many carriers will automatically provision your wireless account for MMS when you first send an MMS message. Other carriers will provision customers' wireless accounts for MMS automatically in large groups at different times. If necessary, check with your carrier to confirm you are provisioned to send or receive MMS messages.

I wonder if for some reason your's didn't get provisioned when you sent your first message. They may need to do it manually.

Why can't I send and receive text messages on my new 5c ?

Why can't I send and receive text messages on my new 5c ?
I can send imessages. I can sometimes send texts. But I cannot ever send picture texts. and I am not receiving texts.

Antny,
Yikes, this is no bueno let's get these messages back up and flowing. Are you able to send out regular text messages ok? Ensure your Picture Messages feature is turned on, follow these steps: Settings>Messages>MMS Messaging. Also ensure Send as SMS is turned on as well. If these features are turned on then try this: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings then retest. Keep us posted please.

IPod touch 4G cannot send, only receive picture messages

As the title says. I am able to send and receive normal messages, am connected to wifi, etc. The only function that is not working is the ability to SEND picture messages. I am able to receive them just fine - after yet another picture message failed, I had a friend send me a test picture, and immediately after successfully receiving it, I attempted to resend - failure, again. It also has been taking up to a couple minutes for the "!" failed notification to appear on the messages.
Things I have tried already today:
- "renew lease" on wifi
- toggled iMessages on and off
- reset my iPod
- upgraded to iOS 6.1.3 (from 6.0.1; hadn't seen a need to since I first got the iPod)
All with no success. It stopped working sometime between June 5th and June 10th. It is driving me absolutely MAD and I cannot find any helpful and recent information. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you looked at the previous discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This"?

Since update, will not send or receive picture messages unless using imesage

Since the I0S6 update, my phone will not send or receive picture messages unless it's being sent through iMessage.
I know of other people having the same problem, with different versions of the phone and different carriers.
Anyone else?
I have the iPhone 4 with Sprint.
Friend has the iPhone 4s with Verizon.

Check settings/message and make sure MMS is ON. Also chcek that your carrier/your plan allows sending of pictures over MMS

HT4623 Unable to send or receive picture messages

I have been unable to send or receive picture messages since I started using the iphone.

I have an iPhone 5 and since I updated to ios 7.1, I can't sent pics unless the other phone has iMessage. I use h2O and I use the sim swap to get to my cellular network. I enter the settings and I noticed when I enter the mms apn: att.mvno will eventually disappear and says home. I repeated this process a dozen time with the same result.
All the setting that I've enter didn't change but the mms apn. Att.mvno.
Keep in mind, I used the sim swap method on my iPhone 4s and the 5 and never had a problem until this new update! It's driving me nuts and would like to know how to resolve this problem? I'm not sure if I revert back to 7.0.6 will fix it but before I do it , I like to know if that will work Bc it's time consuming! Apple needs to fix this problem Bc it was fine before this dam upgrade.

Is there a software in which I can hook up my iPhone 4s to my computer and send and receive text messages and calls (via headset) through my computer?

Is there a software in which I can hook up my iPhone 4s to my computer and send and receive text messages and calls (via headset) through my computer? Whether it's free or cost money, can someone please give me a name of a program or software that allows me to do this? I can't seem to find anything like this for the iPhone.

No.
