Why am I not receiving pictures through texting

Content was removed because your handset cannot display it.
That is the message I receive when someone tries to send me a pict. Never happened before tonight? Recently updated phone. Is that why?

My messages aren't sending or coming through and my phone is on.
I can't post any pictures and can barley can view them on social networks.
Previously I was told to reset my network settings, that only worked temporarily.
I don't have any device I can back my phone up on.
Turning my phone on and off dosent work. My facetime dosent work. Basically I can't do anything but send calls

  • Why can I not send pictures thru text to non apple phone users?

    Since the IOS6.0.1 update to my iPhone 4 I can no longer send pictures through texting to friends and family who do not have iPhones. I have been to an apple store in hopes they could fix this problem and they can not.

    Both of those are carrier features, contact your cell phone provider and ask them why.

  • Iphone 4 not receiving pictures via text

    Is it possible that if I'm using my phone (not calling, but just doing stuff) that I can't receive a picture text?  A friend sent a few pictures while I was not using my phone and I received them just fine, and send a few others and I didn't get them, but I happen to have been using the phone (not calling) at the time they were sent.  We can't figure out why I didn't receive those other 2 pictures, only can think since I was using the phone. 
    Thanks in advance for any ideas!

    I spoke to AT&T Directly, and they said that MMS was disabled on my account. they enabled MMS on my account again, and that solved my issues!

  • Why am I not receiving all my texts?

    I am receiving texts from some people but not everyone.  I'm not receiving them from my husband who has an iphone through Sprint, but he receives all mine.
    I'm also not receiving them from another person who has an iphone but has AT&T.
    I've rebooted multiple times, deleted texts to clear up everything and still nothing.  Help!

    I, too, am having difficulty receiving text messages. Problem started back in Feb 2014. Messages arrive incomplete or broken up into 3 separate message packets. Spoke to VZW Tech Support at least 4 times with no solution.  Finally got them to initiate a Repair Request Ticket.
    Sounds like this is a common problem. A couple of questions come to mind. Would the issue of not receiving text messages be due to the lack of cell site coverage in my immediate area?  or...could it be the current software version on my I-Phone. currently running Verizon Version 15.0.
    Would like some help. Been a loyal Verizon customer 14 years.

  • Why can i not receive picture texts from my contacts

    Ever since my phone upgraded to the new system, I cannot receive any picture texts from my friends.  my text messages indicate I have a new message (friends name and no subject) and when I click on it, it brings up a new text message for me to send.  I know they are pictures because I ask my friends if they had sent me something.  I use this feature a lot and it gets annoying to have my friends email it to me instead of texting it, not all my friends have smart phones and cannot email me the pictures all the time.  Can someone please help?

    Terimich6,
               Is your mobile data turned on? And if you long press on the picture in the text can you save attachment? If you can do that try viewing them in your gallery.

  • Cannot Receive Pictures through MMS

    Is there any particular reason as to why I can't receive pictures through MMS anymore? I used to, but now when my friends send them, I never get them? Any ideas?

    I would love to see an answer to this problem. It always seems like it is going through but hangs up and then shows an exlamation point when it doesn't go thru.

  • Why am I having trouble sending pictures through text message?

    Why am I unable to send a picture through text message?  I have an iphone 4s. This never happened with my iphone4. I am about to switch and give my preteen my upgrade and take my old phone back. This was a waste of money. This is with both people who have Iphones and people who don't. (IM and regular text). I can randomly get one to go through, but it usually gets to about 90% and freezes. I can usually upload photos to Facebook. This is such an elementary function for a phone!!!!

    1. you should contact your phone carrier as they handle all messaging.
    2. Are you provisioned by your carrier for MMS?
    3. if you are have you gone into settings to make sure that MMS is turned on.

  • 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?

  • How can i send a picture through text?

    Does anyone knows how to send a picture through text message?

    I came across this a while back and thought it was a good read
    There are some interesting challenges with MMS that do not exist with SMS:
    Content adaptation: Multimedia content created by one brand of MMS phone may not be entirely compatible with the capabilities of the recipients' MMS phone. In the MMS architecture, the recipient MMSC is responsible for providing for content adaptation (e.g., image resizing, audio codec transcoding, etc.), if this feature is enabled by the mobile network operator. When content adaptation is supported by a network operator, its MMS subscribers enjoy compatibility with a larger network of MMS users than would otherwise be available.
    Distribution lists: Current MMS specifications do not include distribution lists nor methods by which large numbers of recipients can be conveniently addressed, particularly by content providers, called Value Added Service Providers (VASPs) in 3GPP. Since most SMSC vendors have adopted FTP as an ad-hoc method by which large distribution lists are transferred to the SMSC prior to being used in a bulk-messaging SMS submission, it is expected that MMSC vendors will also adopt FTP.
    Bulk messaging: The flow of peer-to-peer MMS messaging involves several over-the-air transactions that become inefficient when MMS is used to send messages to large numbers of subscribers, as is typically the case for VASPs. For example, when one MMS message is submitted to a very large number of recipients, it is possible to receive a delivery report and read-reply report for each and every recipient. Future MMS specification work is likely to optimize and reduce the transactional overhead for the bulk-messaging case.
    Handset Configuration: Unlike SMS, MMS requires a number of handset parameters to be set. Poor handset configuration is often blamed as the first point of failure for many users. Service settings are sometimes preconfigured on the handset, but mobile operators are now looking at new device management technologies as a means of delivering the necessary settings for data services (MMS, WAP, etc.) via over-the-air programming (OTA).
    WAP Push: Few mobile network operators offer direct connectivity to their MMSCs for content providers. This has resulted in many content providers using WAP push as the only method available to deliver 'rich content' to mobile handsets. WAP push enables 'rich content' to be delivered to a handset by specifying the URL (via binary SMS) of a pre-compiled MMS, hosted on a content provider's web server. A downside of WAP push is that from a billing perspective this content is typically billed at data rates rather than as an MMS. These charges can be significant and result in 'bill shock' for consumers.
    Although the standard does not specify a maximum size for a message, 300 kB is the current recommended size used by networks due to some limitations on the WAP gateway side.

    Hello, Edray56. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.

  • Why am I not receiving a requestcode?

    I bought a 1 year license for Adobe CS6 Design & Web Premium for Windows on Slim.nl. I could not install it succesfully, because the software couldn't "see" that I was connected to internet (and you have to be connected to instal the software correctly, or I can only use it for 7 days). I tried to activate it offline, but when I made a Adobe account and logged in, the webpage told me that I should have received a requestcode, I presume via e-mail. I have not gotten any mail from Adobe (beside the e-mail to verify the mail adress to be able to post on this forum). I can use the software now, but only for the next 6 days, until I am able to succesfully instal all the software.
    My questions:
    How could it be that the software didn't "see" I an had internet connection? (I tried multiple times, with multiple wifi-spots)
    Why am I not receiving a requestcode?
    [I did get the page for the requestcode in Dutch, so maybe "request code" isn't the proper term I am using]
    I hope someone can help me with this problem, so I can use te software the entire year, instead of only this week.

    RubyManuela please see Sign in, activation, or connection errors | CC, CS6, CS5.5 - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-network-issues.html for information on how to resolve the error with your Internet connection.
    Also I would recommend you contact the reseller which you purchased your one year use of Creative Suite 6 through if you continue to face difficulties with the redemption code.

    Why can i not receive email with my icloud account but I can send it out only

    Hi Nortarian,
    The article below will walk you through the troubleshooting steps for email on your iPad:
    iOS: Unable to send or receive email
    If you are unable to send or receive email, try the following steps:
    Restart the iOS device.
    Tap Safari and attempt to load a webpage to ensure that the device has Internet access. If you're unable to load a webpage, try the Wi-Fi assistant.
    Try an alternative Internet connection.
    If your email is provided by your Internet provider, try connecting from the home network.
    If your iOS device has an active cellular data plan, try to disable Wi-Fi:  Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn off Wi-Fi.
    If not, try a different Wi-Fi network.
    Log in to your email provider's website to ensure that the account is active and the password is correct.
    Delete the account from Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and then add the email account again on the iOS device.
    Hope this helps ....
    - Judy
