SMS Multimedia messages
When I get an SMS with multimedia content I get a message that sends me to a website and provides a complicated username and password. Without cut & paste or a link to the website, I find myself waiting till I'm near a PC to look at my message. Am I missing something?
SMS multimedia messages are called MMS.
Have the sender of the MMS address the MMS to an email address for an email account that you access with the iPhone's email client. Have the sender enter this email address in the To: field for the MMS.
The MMS will be received as an email with a photo attached to the message and you will have the sender's cell phone email address for sending this person an email with a photo attached. Address your email with photo attached to this email address and it will be received as an MMS.

I use a Samsung Brightside and I have this problem for a while already. When I receive a multimedia message and try to download it, I get "message receipt failed". Sometimes I receive the messages with no problem, and I don't have any problems sending multimedia messages at all, I just have a problem receiving them. Most of the time the message receipt would fail which has been making me frustrated. I have looked online for any solutions and had no luck at all. It was recommended for me to switch over to using a smartphone, but I don't want to because I use an iPod touch that almost does everything that an iPhone does and it saves me a bunch of money. I tried to restore my phone and reset everything and still the issue is still occurring.
I am paying all this money for 'unlimited data,' and yet my data is being limited.
SMS & MMS are not part of data access over a cellular network and cost money if one goes over their messaging allowance where email does not. The data exchange involved with sending and receiving email is included with unlimited data which costs all of $20/mo and includes 200 SMS which is the most reasonable by far unlimited data plan made available by any provider in the U.S. for any phone in the smart phone category. There is a 300KB or less message size limit with no such small message size limit with the exchange of email. All other phones need to catch up with this capability.
It undermines and insults every Iphone/Apple customer who are the ones to thank for promulgating the company's success.
For you and some others but not for me and definitely not for ALL iPhone owners which you don't and can't begin to speak for nor can anyone else. I rarely if ever used MMS with any previous cell phone - primarily because I wasn't interested in seeing a mediocre quality photo at best captured by a cell phone and viewed on a tiny little screen which wasn't the best either. -

Thanks for the help :-)

3G iPhone & Multimedia Messaging
Does anyone know if the 3G iPhone will be a hardware upgrade or a software upgrade. I haven't bought an iPhone yet because I want the 3G one, but if its just a software upgrade then I can buy it now and wait for the update. Also a friend of mine who does have an iPhone doesn't get any of her multimedia messages to her phone she can only access then through her email. The people at AT&T say that it's because Apple didn't make the iPhone able to recieve the multimedia messages. Is that going to be addressed with an update as well or will that never change?
Does anyone know if the 3G iPhone will be a hardware upgrade or a software upgrade.
Hardware related which will require a new purchase. You can't turn a non-3G radio into a 3G radio with a firmware/software update.
The iPhone does not support MMS with the existing SMS client at the present time and my never support this. This is a user to user help forum only so no one here knows what Apple has planned for future updates or with a new iPhone model - except for the next generation iPhone will be 3G which was announced by Apple and AT&T. If someone here is privileged to any such information that has not been officially announced by Apple, they aren't allowed to say.
The only thing we know is the 3G iPhone will be available sometime in 2008 which could mean just before Xmas or earlier or this could be delayed until 2009 for all we know.
Do you live in an area where AT&T has 3G network access? -
N70 hangs during "Updating" Multimedia Messages
I am running WindowsXPsp2, using PC Suite 6.84 on a Toshiba TECRA laptop. I am connecting to a N70 m/phone using a USB cable.
Problem:
When I click on the "Contacts" or "Messages" icon within PC Suite a new "Updating" window opens that shows the progress of synchronisation between phone and laptop but hangs (locks-up) during the sync of Multimedia Messages.Yes :-).
The problem is fixed by removing the "MMS Sync" applic from the phone. I can now upload SMS messages from my phone to my Laptop.
FYI. I re-installed "MMS Sync" applic on the phone and the problem re-appeared. It would appear there is a problem with the "MMS Sync" applic..??
thanks for your help. -
Is there any way to retrieve your multimedia messages after you have deleted the text that has the code inside.
Do you have an active plan from your Operator to use this service ? If not.. get it activated and request them to send the settings. Normally these will be sent thru' SMS.. Open and SAVE.. Now you shold be able to do what you want..
P.S...Always provide your Device details to get better help.. -
I can not seem to send or recieve any multimedia messages on my 6500 slide,I'm not sure if i have the settings right
Sounds like an Orange problem, so I'd speak to them.
You are definatly sending via MMS and not just SMS? Do you have the MMS settings on your phone? If not, you can get them easily from the Orange website under 'help & support>N80>data>MMS I'd also get the 3G and GPRS settings resent too.

Hardware: Palm Centro
Wireless: Sprint
PC OS: Windows XP Pro
After installing the "Software Update 1.07 (Windows installer) for Centro for Sprint" (Article ID: 6012 - http://kb.palm.com/wps/portal/kb/common/article/6012_en.html) starting from http://sprint.com/downloads, I noticed the stock Palm Messaging application that comes with the device did not work as it did prior to the update.
I was able to fix it. Here's what the problem was and what I did to correct it.
"Not found in Contacts" message appeared when composing and addressing a new SMS text message.
In the Contacts app, Options>Preferences, I simply reordered the contacts from "Last Name, First Name" to "Company, Last Name", and saved the change.
I then immediately went back into the same preference, and changed the setting back from "Company, Last Name" to "Last Name, First Name", and saved that change.
Going back to the Messaging application, when composing a new message, now the Contacts database is linked again. Whew!
Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)Thank you for this information. This should help others out.

I have had my BlackBerry Curve since December of 2008. It has recently started acting up, and my main problem is that it claims the SIM card is full.
Options
SMS Text Text
Leve Messages on SIM Card: No
I haven't any contacts stored on my SIM. What gives?
Message Edited by afawcett88 on 09-04-2009 01:59 PMI finally figured out how to delete SMS text messages from the SIM card. Open a text that you sent or you received from someone. Open the menu then "view folder" option. All of your sent and received text messages will be stored here and can be deleted.

Exporting SMS text messages from the Treo 680
What options are available to export SMS text messages and call logs from the Treo 680? I need to create hard copys for evedence in a court case. I back-up files to the Palm Desktop on a Mac OS-X.
I have searched through the Palm guide, but no discussion on extracting the SMS data. I understand that the sms messages are in the file "Messages Database.pdb" and the call log is in "PhoneCallDB.pdb", question is how to extract the records.
This question was solved.

Can not send SMS text message.
Hi, I'm a BlackBerry user for 4 years now and this is the first time that I have a problem with SMS text messaging. My precious BB is a Q10.
The problem is that I can receive SMS messages but I can not answer and I can not send messages. When I tap the 'send' icon or press Enter nothing happens. My message dissapears and i can not see in the upper window, below the message that I've previously receive and I wanted to aswer for.
Also, I can compose SMS message, but when I press Enter or tap send, nothing happens. No message in the hub, or in the text messages folder.
I've rebooted the device, reloaded the OS, but didn't help.Hi and Welcome to the Community!
With a strong carrier network signal (e.g., not merely WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (step 1 should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
1) Register HRT
KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive
2) Reboot
Pre-BB10 Devices ONLY. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.
BB10 Devices. Hold the top button down until the counter reaches zero. Wait for the device to be fully shut down (e.g., nothing at all displayed on the screen, no LED lights, etc.). Hold the top button until the red LED is lit. Wait through the full boot-up process. IF this fails, you can attempt the battery-pull method above, but it is normally NOT recommended unless nothing else works.
See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should contact your mobile service provider for formal support.
Good luck!

I just bought and activated a new Iphone 4s and I cannot send or receive normal SMS text messages. Also, my number is not showing up in the "receive at" location. Any help??

Beyond that... since you state you've tried all "recommended fixes" have you actually restored as new and not from your backup? -

When I get n email from. Cell phone that's a picture the email says I have a multimedia message but, that's all. It won't show an attachment or anything. I've tried opening the email in adobe and everything. How can I get the attachment to show? Please help.
You did not get an email, you got a MMS. You have to enable MMS on your phone before you can see the picture.

How do I make it so my phone can send Multimedia messages again? Samsung Intensity II
I'm not sure if this is even where I am supposed to post this, I've been having a few difficulties navigating around the site as it is, so my apologies if it is in the incorrect section or anything.
I have a Samsung Intensity II, and up until today it was perfectly fine. but now it wont send Multimedia messages anymore, I think I may have accidentally changed a setting on it some how. So far I haven't seen any other problems with it.
Every time I try to send a Multimedia message of any kind, to anyone, it will sort of freeze on the percentage sent bar, for about 5 or so minutes, and then it will continue through all the way to 100% pausing like that, and then say "send failed would you like to try again?"
I can receive Multimedia messages, and text messages, I can send text messages, but not multimedia messages. It fails every time.
I have turned my phone off and back on, I have removed the battery and put it back in, nothing has changed. actually about the only thing I've seen change since the first time it wouldn't send, is that it pauses on 29% instead of 19%.
If you can tell me what setting may have changed this, or another way for me to transfer my pictures, I would be very appreciative. Thank you for your time.Hi okikust,
I use picture messages all of the time! I understand why you would want this corrected as soon as possible. I would like to look at your account, in order to determine the root cause of the issue and fix it! Please send me a DM with your name, mobile number, and contact number. I will be happy to review this personally. Thanks!
