Sending and receiving pictures

My husband and I recently got iphone 4's, we are unable to send pictures unless we are off of wifi and have our 3g cellular data turned on. We have both also not received any pictures that multiple people have sent us. Is this a problem that other verizon customers are having? You should be able to send/receive pictures regardless of wifi or cellular data. Any suggestions?

Yes I have mms on. I can send/ receive to my mothers iphone over wifi but when I send to other people who have iPhones over wifi it fails and I also never receive there pictures. Doesn't make sense to me.....

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

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.

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.

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.

Why can't I send and receive pictures after the new update

Why can't I sent and receive pictures after the new update

Don't know. Have you taken the basic troubleshooting steps outlined in the User Guide? What exactly have you done to troubleshoot your issue?

HT3529 Why cant i send and receive pictures thru text it worked before now nothing

Why cant Isend and receive pictures thru the text it worked before now nothing

What error messages are you getting? What trouble shooting steps have you already taken? Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears? Have you checked Settings>Messages>MMS Messaging to make sure that it's set to "On"? Have you contacted your carrier to make sure your account is still properly provisioned?

Does the ibackupbot help send and receive picture msg through T-Mobile network?

I got my friend an unlock iphone 4s on a T-mobile. He have data and can send picture msg, BUT cant recieve! How can he fix this? I heard the ibackupbot works, but have anyone tried it and it works???

T-Mobile in the US? I've heard of people getting it to work, but there's very little anyone here can help you with. T-Mobile in the US is not a supported carrier and is not fully compatible with the iPhone.
The like to brag about how many unlocked iPhones are on their network. Perhaps their support people can tell you what you have to do.

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.

My iPhone 5 will not send or receive pictures?

I have an unlocked iPhone 5 purchased directly from Apple. I am using it on StraightTalk. Everything seems to be fine except for my ability to send and receive picture messages.

StraightTalk is a prepaid service. It uses other carriers towers. They require a GSM phone and you can use a phone from AT&T or T-Mobile. I just switched over recently and for the most part it is great.

I bought an HTC one 2/28/14. I had no trouble sending or receiving pictures with my texts. I had to update my phone 6/5/14 and since that time I cannot send or receive pictures in my texts. How can I fix that?

The thing is, before the update, I ALWAYS had my wifi on, and I had my mobile data off. Worked flawlessly until the update.

Hello there, Blackpool1.
The following Knowledge Base article offers some great, in-depth steps for troubleshooting issues with sending MMS type messages with your iPhone:
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2755
Start with these steps and then move down from there if the issue persists:
If you can't send and receive MMS
You will need these to send and receive MMS:
An iPhone 3G or later
iOS 3.1 or later
A cellular data connection (MMS isn't available if you're using only Wi-Fi)
A domestic MMS plan from your cellular provider. You might need an international messaging plan to send MMS to an international contact (Contact your carrier for more information.)
A roaming MMS when using a cellular provider's network that is different from your billing cellular provider's network (Learn more about roaming and contact your carrier for more information.)
To resolve issues with sending and receiving MMS, follow these steps
Go to Settings and turn airplane mode off.
Go to Settings > Messages and turn MMS Messaging on.
Go to Settings > Cellular and turn Cellular Data on.
Go to Settings > Cellular and turn Data Roaming on if you're roaming on a cellular provider network that is different from your billing provider's network.
Make sure that you have a cellular data connection in the status bar of your iPhone.
Go to Settings and turn Wi-Fi off. Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify that you have a data connection. Turn Wi-Fi back on to continue using Wi-Fi for other features. If your cellular data connection isn't available, follow these steps.
Make sure that you can send and receive SMS. If you can't send and receive SMS, see the "Issues with sending and receiving SMS" section, above. MMS might not be available while you're on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn more about which network your phone supports.
Restart your iPhone.
Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
Remove your SIM card and insert it again.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

I just got an IPhone 5C and I can't send or receive pictures on it.

Does anybody know how to fix this? I have MMS turned on, but still can't send or receive pictures on my phone.

Check with your carrier to make sure your service with them is correctly provisioned
