Unlocked iPhone 4S on T-Mobile cant send MMS

Hello,
I gave my wife my who is on T-Mobile my AT&T iPhone 4S that was unlocked by AT&T when I upgraded to my iPhone 5.  No matter what we try she can't send MMS. She can receive MMS as well as iMessages, but can't send any MMS's. sending pictures through iMessage works fine and she browse the Internet on the network too, but No MMS.
The iPhone is running iOS 6.
Any idea how to fix this?

Did you go through the "T-Mobile Internet and picture messaging settings for Apple® iPhone®" steps  on this page?

  • If i buy Unlocked Iphone 5s from Virgin Mobile can i use it with other operator?(In Europe)

    If i buy Unlocked Iphone 5s from Virgin Mobile can i use it with other operator?(In Europe)

    You need to clarify where you are as Virgin Mobile are a Global Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) brand however the terms and offers differ in each country.
    If you are in the USA the brand is actually franchised and operated by Sprint .
    Operating on Sprint CDMA and LTE frequency bands.
    The CDMA radio will be provioned to work off of the Sprint towers - This IS locked down and can't be used on any other network -for instance Verizon.
    The phones GSM Sim card holder and radios should be unlocked but we won't know for sure until the handsets are available to test.
    The models in question are the A1453 - 5S ad A1456- 5C- these support the most channel frequencies of any iPhone , however NOT the all important European LTE band 7 (2600mhz)
    So it is highly likely that the Virgin USA model will have unlocked SIM and GSM support will work on all European 3G and most earlier 2 and 2.5G networks however may have patchy to no European LTE support.
    Note that comment reqarding 2G (GPRS) and 2.5 G (Often called Edge) - A number of European countries and mobile operators are re-provisionng (reusing) frequencies in the 800mhz spectrum to 800DD (digital) for future LTE and where this takes place normal subscibers without LTE contracts will loose service in some areas.
    This is already taking place in the UK - Beware.
    Virgin Mobile UK are not currently an Apple iPhone dealership.
    And other countries with the band including Canada, France and India I have information about.

    @Dmitriy Buldakov, have you found the solution to the issue yet? I have the same problem, no option to turn on MMS in my iPhone settings. I checked the settings on my friend's iPhone, which has the same iOS version as me (8.1.1), and the option is there. It's really annoying...

  • I cant send mms since i updated to ios 8 with wind mobile

    i cant send mms since i updated to ios 8 with wind mobile

    Hey beastlyhippo,
    Thanks for the question. Based on what you stated, it seems like you are having trouble with MMS messages. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
    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.
    If you still can't send or receive MMS, follow these steps
    Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
    Go to Settings > Messages and turn on group messaging if you're sending a group message.
    Make sure that you're using the area code with the contact's phone number. When you send messages internationally, you also need the contact's international code.
    If you're using a "Pay as you go" MMS plan, make sure it has enough available balance. If you're unsure of your MMS plan or available balance, contact your carrier.
    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.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and recreate the contact from the Contacts app. Send a new message to the new contact.
    Back up and restore your iPhone as new.
    If your carrier has recently ported your phone number, the porting process might not be complete. Contact your carrier to confirm that the porting process is complete.
    Contact your carrier to verify that you're provisioned to send SMS and are in an area with cellular coverage.
    Contact your carrier to verify that there aren't blocks or filters on your wireless account preventing you from sending SMS.
    Your carrier might require modified APN settings to use MMS.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Mario

  • Cant send MMS on iPhone 4 At&t

    Cant send mms on iPhone 4 at&t runing ios 6 noticed the problem after i tried to send mms

    Have you tried calling VZW tech support? If the people at the location you went to had no clue what they were really doing (it would seem that way if they didn't offer to replace your device...even if they didn't have one in stock they could have placed an order for it...wouldn't be an immediate fix but it would have shown some initiative)...someone at tech support over the phone may have better success.

  • HT3529 i have a problem with mms in my iPhone 5s when m trying to send MMS

    i have a problem with mms in my iPhone 5s when m trying to send MMS then a message appears on the screen 'cannot send messageMMS Messaging needs to be enabled to send this message' but in settings there is no setting available to inable MMS in message settings

    Had the same problem. Have you checked your Cellular Data Network MMS fields? You should write there your MMS settings (APN, username, password, mmsc, mms proxy and mms max message size). You can get the data from your carrier. After that you could need to restart iPhone.  Worked for me.

  • HT1937 Downloaded IOS 7, Now I cant send MMS. On IOS 6 had no worries. Any suggestions pls?

    Downloaded IOS 7. Now I cant send MMS. On IOS 6 their was no problem. Also, How do you close the apps that are open? IOS 6 all you had to do was double click the button, app appeared and you closed it.

    couple of days ago you asked this, so dont know if you have gotten any answers
    I got the same problem with mms, havent found a way to fix it yet
    to close the app, when you douple click the button you get the screen with all the open apps, simpky just swipe the window with app you want to close upwards and it closes.

    cant send mms using lumia 630...why is that coz my mms setting are set

    Hi spectatiouz,
    We're here to help. Are you only having issue sending an MMS? How about when receiving? Do you have an active MMS service from your network operator? Are you getting any error message when trying to send an MMS?
    Aside from the recommendations given by @farby, you can try the workaround given below:
    • FAQ - I cannot send or receive multimedia messages on my Lumia phone
    Note: The link is intended for the UK. You can check your local Nokia support page for future reference. See: Local support.
    We look forward to your reply and thank you for joining the forum.

  • Cant send mms messages. I get the error message:  "one or more of the message components have been delted by MMS Adaptation.  Either the message was too large or the components were unsuitable for your handset".  This only seems to be an issue to iphones.

    I cant send pic messages to iphone users. I get the error message:  "one or more of the message components have been delted by MMS Adaptation.  Either the message was too large or the components were unsuitable for your handset".  This only seems to be an issue to iphones.  I like this phone but have had nothing but trouble since day one.  I am so tired of being on the phone with verizon and still not getting all the problems corrected.  Someone please help!

    Hello christina267,
    Help is right here, front and center! Let's get your mms working properly. May I ask are you using the original stock messaging app to send texts and mms? Also, are you using any special characters or emojis in your message? Since you state that the issue is to iPhones, did you happen to have used an iPhone on your mobile number just before you were using the Galasy S 5? As you share the details then we can investigate.
    Thank you…

  • Apple unlocked iPhone 3gs on T-mobile / Rogers Prepaid

    I would like to buy the unlocked iPhone 3gs. I travel and use Rogers prepaid in Canada and T-mobile prepaid in the US. I only use voice and email, so will a straight SIM swap work ?

    Money is what i am concerned about.  I'm hesitant to purchase an iphone with at&t's costly plans for 2 years, that is why I'm considering to buy an ipod touch in addition to purchasing a prepaid phone.  But I am unsure if it is worth it or not.

  • Using european unlocked iphone 4 with T-Mobile US - does it work?

    I was trying to use an old unlocked iPhone 4 (purchased in Sweden, GSM) with a new t-mobile (US) pay as you go SIM card, but it does not seem to work (get error message about SIM card).  Anyone having same experience?  Are unlocked european iphones blocked in the US?
    When at the t-mobile store, we tried several SIM cards, always got the same error message and the t-mobile guy said the phone is locked. I know for sure it is unlocked, since I have used the same phone with different carriers (Telia, Comviq and others) overseas (different SIM-cards) with no problem.
    Anyone having any idea of what the problem is?

    The phone was purchased unlocked (paid high price).  But I guess there is a chance I got ripped off... If so, why does it work with different carriers in Sweden with different SIM cards?
