Testing out mms by sending myself a picture or message

I have a 8820 and my provider is t-mobile.  I have been trying for a month now to figure how to send myself a test picture and message to verify that MMS is working.  I have had several different phone models from other companies and they allow me to send myself a test message.  When I try it, it shows it being sent out but when it comes back there no pictures or messages. Also when I send myself a test email message it will not come back to my phone but will go to my desktop just fine.  I can send to other users just fine and they can send to me.  I just can not send myself a test message.   t-mobile claims I should be able to do it but to date they have not been able to help me.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

So you are able to send MMS to other users, you are just wanting to send MMS to yourself? Making sure I understand question.

  • I am unable to take or send pictures in message.  Once I hit take a picture or video my screen blacks out and I'm thrown out of the message completely. I can only send pictures from iPhoto help!!!

    HHi.  I'm unable to take and send pictures or videos from messaging.  Screen completely turns black and I'm kicked out of messaging

    Try a reset by pressing and holding the home and power buttons until the white Apple logo appears.

    My second issue popped up just a few days ago. I am unable to send a picture to anyone via email (gmail).  I checked to make sure MMS is enabled (it is) and I certainly have MMS provided through Verizon.
    MMS has absolutely nothing to do with email.
    Is this the only email account on the device? If not, are  you able to email pictures via other accounts?
    Are you able to send emails with pictures attached from the gmail account on a computer?

  • How come when I send a picture with iPhoto email it always send the same picture event when I choose a different picture until I log out from iPhoto

    how come when I send a picture with iPhoto email it always send the same picture event when I choose a different picture until I log out from iPhoto

    Why? Because something is wrong.
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

    Hey lozza567,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues sending MMS messages. The following resource may provide a solution:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2755
    Issues with sending and receiving 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 are using only Wi-Fi.
    - A domestic MMS plan from your cellular provider. You may 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 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 first
    1. Go to Settings and turn airplane mode off.
    2. Go to Settings > Messages and turn MMS Messaging on.
    3. Go to Settings > Cellular and turn Cellular Data on.
    4. Go to Settings > Cellular and turn Data Roaming on if you are roaming on a cellular provider network different from your billing provider's network.
    5. Verify that you have a cellular data connection in the status bar at the top left of your iPhone.
    6. 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.
    7. Verify that you can send and receive SMS. If you are unable to send and receive SMS, see the "Issues with sending and receiving SMS" section, above.
    8. MMS may not be available while on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn more about which network your phone supports.
    9. Restart your iPhone.
    10. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
    11. Reseat your SIM card.
    If you are still unable to send or receive MMS, follow these steps
    1. Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
    2. Go to Settings > Messages and turn on group messaging if you are sending a group message.
    3. Make sure that you are using the area code with the contact's phone number. When sending messages internationally, you also need the contact's international code.
    4. Verify a "Pay as you go" MMS plan has enough available balance. Contact your carrier if unsure of your MMS plan or available balance.
    5. If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
    6. If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and re-create the contact from the Contacts application. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
    7. Back up and restore your iPhone as new.
    8. If your carrier has recently ported your phone number, the porting process may not be complete. Contact your carrier to confirm that the porting process is complete.
    9. Contact your carrier to verify that you are provisioned to send SMS and are in an area with cellular coverage.
    10. Contact your carrier to verify that there are no blocks or filters placed on your wireless account preventing you from sending SMS.
    11. Your carrier may require APN settings to be modified to use MMS. Learn more about when you should adjust APN settings.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • After sending a picture or message in "Message", what causes the "send" button to grey out?

    Restore your iPad to the factory settings.

  • I cannot send or receive group text messages as well as pictures messages / MMS. What should I do? The settings on Messages was set to receive group texts but it does not solve the problem.

    I cannot send or receive group text messages and picture messages / MMS.  The settings on Messages are already set to receive group texts but it does not help. What should I do?

        Wow, 1yerdua. That's far too long to be having this messaging trouble. We want to find the resolution fast! If you turn off your Lumia's WiFi (Menu > Settings > WiFi), are you still able to access data-oriented applications like Internet Explorer? Have you been to other areas of the state/country and experienced the same trouble?

  • I NEED SOME ASSIGNMENTS! TO TEST OUT MY SKILLS!

    hey people, i have learned about if, for, and System.in.read() and stuff like that, can someone give me a project for me to work on? like homework to test out my skills? thanx

    <b>> 1. if

    5. elseMy take on programming (as a beginner) is that I mostly learn by teaching myself. Of course I also ask a lot of questions too.
    You know a lot of control statements, which allow you to select a path of program execution ("If the next number is divisible by 7, I'll add it to the pile. Otherwise I'll skip it"). Can you use a for loop to collect all the multiples of 7 between 0 and 50 into one pile? You'll know if you did it right because you'll end up with (1+2+3+4+5+6+7)*7, which you send to System.out.println() to see if you got the right answer.

  • I need help sending pictures by email. I add picture a picture and send it but if I send a second picture in another email the same picture from the first email is sent instead of the second picture

    I have been sending pictures to people while organizing my iPhoto. Usually it is one picture per email.  Unfortunately, it ends up that the same picture is ending up on each email instead of the picutures that I am picking out.  Usually the first picture that I send is the picture that is send in all the emails.  HELP!

    Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If it does try the following:   make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    If the problem doesn't appear in the test library do the following with your original library: make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • My Droid Incredible 2 will not send or receive pictures with texts.

    It used to work fine but when received now, it gives option to "download" or "decline" -- download ends in a loop that never works.  I also can no longer send texts with pictures attached.  Help?!

        Help is here! Picture messaging is extremely important to me. There are a few things we can check in order to get your MMS working again. We first want to make sure your other data services are working. Are you able to access the browser from the device?
    You can also go to settings>applications>all>go to messaging>clear cache
    Also, clear out any threads of old messages and try to send your MMS again.
    Please let me know how that works for you.

  • My iPhone 4S has stopped receiving iMessages, cannot send/load any pictures over whatsapp, cannot join the wifi in my house anymore. What has happened to my iPhone i haven't made any changes?

    My iPhone 4S has stopped receiving/sending iMessages, cannot send/load any pictures over whatsapp and cannot join the wifi in my house anymore.
    Essentially all the things I use my phone for have now stopped working. I constantly have 3G connected (even though i dont want to use it, i want to connect to the wifi in my house) but still when I try to download/ send a picture over whatsapp it comes up with an error message saying the server is unverified, or something equally ridiculous.
    I deleted the app so i could reinstall it (as if that would help), but the app store is started saying "unable to connect", despite 3G, so that bright idea died out pretty sharpish.
    Whenever i try to turn on iMessage, it asks for my Apple ID password, which I know I've typed in correctly because I reset the **** thing about 4 times due to it apparently being "incorrect". Even so, it repeatedly asks for the password over and over as soon as I've entered it, saying it was "unable to connect" before a final "incorrect password" message pops up just to add an extra smack of annoyance.
    I haven't changed a single setting on my iPhone whatsoever. It just suddenly started spiralling into what is now £28/month-worth of pure frustration.
    I don't even have any music or photos on it as I had to free up 3.5GB of space on the **** thing to allow it to update, naively thinking that would solve the problem, but alas it did not.
    I have seen a few questions posted like this one, usually just one of the problems I have, but I seem to have rounded up the whole bunch (lucky me). None of the previously posted questions have received any replies.
    Can some please help me! Honestly, if i see another "unable to..." or "unverified source" pop up again I'll probably smash the thing against the side of my house.
    Cheers.

    On your iPad, go to [Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings] Once that is done, re-connect your iPad to your wifi network.

  • When I email myself a picture from my iphone 4s, the email is sent from an email account that I don't have set up as the default account. How can I set it up so that the emails are coming from the default account selected in Mail?

    Under my mail tab, it shows that I have a specific email account set up as a default account. That is the account I would like for me emails to be sent from. But when I actually send out an email such as a picture, it is being sent from one of my different email accounts that is not set up as the default. How can I change this so that future messages will be sent from the default account? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!!

    All photo attachments received or sent with the iPhone's Mail app appear inline or viewed in place within the body of the message when viewed with the iPhone's Mail app which is the same with the Mail.app on a Mac. A photo attachment that appears inline or viewed in place does not mean the photo was not sent as a true attachment to the message. A photo attached to a message with the iPhone's Mail app is sent as a true attachment to the message. How an inline or viewed in place attachment appears on the recipient's end depends on the recipient's email client. If the recipient's email client does not support viewing an attached photo inline or viewed in place within the body of the message, the attached file must be manually selected and opened to viewed.
    I am getting the email with the Picture Inline ( not as attachment),The picture is shown distorted , no metter what i do and with what mail client i am using (Gmail\Hotmail\My Enterprise exchange mail), i still get the same behavior.
    With which email client?
