Unable to send myself a test picture or message using MMS

11-01-2009 02:01 PM
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.

    Unable to send pic from Camera Roll via Message. The screen freezes up.

    Try closing the Photos app, as well as Messages by double tapping the home button, long pressing on one of these apps, then touching the minus sign above these two apps.  It will also be a good idea to restart the phone.  Then test your message again.  Hope this helps.

  • Unable to send or receive contact info through message

    Hi, I am unable to send or receive contact info through message.How to solve this problem? thanks

    Business card/vCard is exchanged through MMS and not by SMS.
    Make sure your MMS is configured and activated and you have cellular data/3G ON while exchanging MMS.

    How do I send crash reports?

    If you're actually using Mac OS X v10.5.8, as your profile says, you're wasting your time trying to submit crash reports to Apple.

  • Unable to send or receive video chats in messaging to anyone Video option is greyed out.

    In iChat before upgrading to Mountain Lion I was able to open the buddy list and start and receive video chats to Facebook. AIM and Gmail.  Now even though I can send and receive simple typed chats sucessfully when I select my buddies the video feature is greyed out and not responsive.  The only video I can create is Facetime to imessage accounts.

    So after an unbelievable amount of troubleshooting testing and various lab environments to isolate and verify each testing phase in an attempt to resolve this issue, I hit a roadblock and called Apple Support.  I was told that using the messaging application YOU CANNOT directly start or receive video chats to other sites i.e. Facebook, AIM, Gmail.
    While you can connect to these sites for simple chatting, according to Apple Support these other chat providers are refusing to allow video chat coming or going to messaging.  The reason being !!!!!!!!!  and this is just my conspiracy theory talking, but:
    Theory #1
    Now that Apple has integrated into messages iMessage for direct facetime video chat I believe that in order to maintain market share and punish Apple for trying to grow their presence in this realm these other organizations are refusing to allow the new messages program to use the video chat functionality.  This way the customer has to be bothered with deciding which applications to use in order to video chat and it also then drives customers to these sites portals Facebook, Google, AIM, Skype, since from the native applications you are able to still generate the video chat process.
    Theory #2
    Either that or it is Apple's way of driving market share and claiming an enhancement to being able to integrate video into their own messaging while making it so akward to have to move out of the messages application and start individual video chats from the various portal locations that they will slowly work more and more with Apple equipment and friends. Keep in mind IOS6 will allow 4G facetime which will epand the ability to video chat to iPhones, iPads, Macs and with all of this equipment in th world it is a great way to drive traffic and further bring reliance on Apple equipment.
    It is completely unbelievable to me that in this day and age we still have this type of corporate infighting. And for Apple to bring out a "UPGRADED" program that breaks what used to work and has worked for years ichat and claim that this program is one of the over 200 special upgrades in Mountain Lion is a complete lie and more than that is poor business.  You don't create a new program and then throw away years of customer usage and comfort without making sure compatibility exists.  Clearly the native Facetime and imessage components are more important to Apple vs, customer happiness and compatibility to legacy resources.
    Finally, what bothers me the most about this entire issue...........  Apple knows about it and is not publishing this restriction or making available any posts or information on the Internet explaining this issue. Even within Apple itself first level support knows nothing about and this and only after being bounced to multiple engineers did I finally get this answer.  I was even told that Apple is keeping this quiet. So Instead users, such as myself, are busting our heads against the wall, losing hours of sleep and adding untold amounts of stress to our lives, trying to fix what is unfixable.  Had Apple posted this issue and made available their position and why this is not a technical failure, but by design,  I, and I am sure, countless many others would be happy with at least having a resolution and recognizing that this, at least for the time being, is how it is.  Instead Apple has the audacity to not mention this anywhere and worst of all instead of accepting the restriction they actually market and talk about the added benefits of messages vs. the legacy iChat and try to convince us as the end users how much better it is.
    Thanks Apple for your honesty and treating your customers like adults.   Please be sure to lie to me some more and try to tell me how great your upgrade is.  Upgrade by definition means better not worst.

  • Unable to send a Word document to iCloud to use it on my iPad wit iWorkd

    All of a sudden, iCloud stopped working.
    I used it to send documents back and forth between my iPad and my PC. Today, when I tried to send the document I worked on yesterday to iCloud, it gives me an error message stating that "there was a problem sending the document" and that I should "wait a bit and try it later". I did it but it still is not working and I need it.
    What alternatives to iCloud can I use to send that document to my iPad? On the iPad, I used iWorks. Lots of people have told me marvels of DropBox. Can I use it as an alternative to iCloud?
    Thanks

    Hey, discard this question. I just did it with DropBox and it was as easy and quicker than with iCloud.

  • I recently updated to Lion and iCloud and am unable to send a group email for my blog using BCC.  When I try to do so, the email goes directly to draft.  Please help.

    How can I send a group email for my blog to using BCC on my mail program?

    Don't use bcc, use cc instead. Better yet create a new group in Address Book, put the contacts you want into the group, then when you email select the group in the To: field instead of putting in individual email addresses.

  • I've just got my iphone 5 i can't send pictures trhu messages using wifi ?

    any one with same issue?

    The iPhone 5 uses a Nano-Sim, your old phone uses a Micro-Sim.  But you already knew that.  If you purchased your iPhone 5 from a specific carrier, and the same carrier provided your old device, they may be able to transfer your contacts.  Otherwise, you can search for a method to sync your old phone contacts to another service (like Google contacts, or yahoo contacts, or the Personal Information Manager on your computer like Outlook or Windows contacts), then sync the data to your iphone.

  • Unable to send mp3 with mail attachment. Zip the file doesn't work same

    Tried to send an mp3 file several times and kept getting this message. The file was only 11 mg.
    Unable to send with mail attachment.
    Your message couldn't be sent because a server error occurred. To send this message,please delete the current attachment,then re-attach.
    iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.2)
    Toad replyed try zip file (compress) I did and still got the same message

    Many mail servers cap their message sending or receiving at 4MB.  If you are sending your own work that you want distributed by someone else, check with your internet provider if they can temporarily raise that restriction and the recipient's mail server can temporarily raise those restrictions.   Better would be for both of you to be able to access a webhosting site to share the material and use some FTP programs to send the file to each other.    If it is an MPEG-3 of a commercial CD's music, we can't help you as such distribution is illegal.

    Hi.
    You have an option set that is incorrect I'm afraid.
    In the Account properties, have a look at the Advanced tab, and make sure that the first option (This server requires a secure conection) is not ticked.

  • TS3899 Ipad - unable to send email

    I am able to receive emails on my ipad to my Sky and BT email accounts but unable to send them
    I keep getting the message that the email address has been rejected by the server - it was working last week
    Any help grateful received
    Thank you

    You need to check settings for your Outgoing Mail Server - SMTP
    Those details should be obtained from SKY and BT accordingly
    Most likely they changed the settings if it used to work.
    Another possibility is that your ISP (Internet Service Procider) started to block standard SMTP ports 25 or 587 or both. This should be checked with your ISP
