Why arent my group text messages coming threw?

hi

I have no idea.  Do you have a carrier plan and does it allow for text messages?  What have you done and what errors do you get?  You need to provide more information.

  • Why are my group text messages being sent as pictures

    My group text messages are being sent as pictures or images and I don't know why. It just started happening, I've sent them before without to the same people without this happening. I can sent text messages to each person individualy and they are delivered as text. Is there some setting I can change? 

    HI. I had the same thing the other day. I sent a link to 40 people and got charged for 40 picture messages. I phoned my network provider and they said it is an apple fault (iphone).
    If you send a group 'Text' to more than 6 people, the iphone somehow marks it as a MMS or picture message. I get free texts and was shocked to be charged, but they did look into my messages and could see it was not an image and refunded me.
    If they are right, its an apple problem. Can anyone shed sme light on this?

  • Why are my group text messages sent as mms?

    Please can someone help, I am on a plan with orange unlimited text. This is ideal for me when using my iphone as in often have to send a group message to 40+ people due to nature of my volunteer work. I am receiving larger bills from orange detail g charges under 'other ' when I called orange they responded by saying that on an iphone if I wish to send a group message the iphone can only send the message as a picture message as its to a group of people. Surely Apple have the technology to send a group text message! That's why I have an unlimited plan?? Please help as my volunteer work is costing me a small fortune!!!

  • Why are group text messages coming as downloads?

    Since I downloaded the newest droid softward my group messages which go out to iphone users are often coming back as a download.  The download often just keeps running or I have to go out of texting mode and go back in again to get the text.  This doesn't happen in individual texts to these people.  What can I do??

    If you text them a lot as a group, you should look into the GroupMe app. It's available for Android and iOS and can use either data or and SMS (so it can actually be used without the app). Basically, you post to the group and everybody gets it.

    Do I really have to have my LTE/3G data enabled in order to send/receive group text messages????  YES.
    If so, that's a complete waste of my data package as far as I'm concerned. ... I'm not sure why I can't send/receive group text messages as plain texts????
    Group messages are considered MMS, not SMS.  MMS is transmitted over the cellular (data) network.  It does NOT use your data plan, it uses your texting allowance.  But data DOES need to be enabled to send and receive group and picture texts.

  • After downloading ios7 on iPhone 5 why am I no longer receiving group text messages.

    After downloading ios7 on iPhone 5 why am I no longer receiving group text messages?

    Hi, TereseS. 
    I had the same issue after the update.  Most likely this feature just needs to be enabled.  Go to Settings > Messages and turn on Group messaging.

  • Why can't I send group text messages on my Iphone 3GS any longer?

    I have been sending and receiving group text messages on my iphone 3GS for awhile and all of a sudden I am receiving "Message Send Failure" error messages when I try to send a group message.  I think I still get group messages but you can no longer see that it is a group message and who the group members are.  I turned the Group setting off and then back on in Settings and turned the phone off and back on with no improvement.

    Make sure your account is provisioned for messaging/texting.
    Also, Settings > Messages > MMS Messaging > On

  • Is there a way to send a group text message to more than 10 recepients?

    Is it possible to send a group text message to more than 10 recipients? I called AT&T tech support and they said the phone's software limits group messages to no more than 10.

    Apple does not explain why it makes the choices it does, nor will you get a response
    from Apple on this forum. You can make Apple aware of your thoughts at
    www.apple.com/feedback  Your message will be read, but not answered.
    AFAIK, there is no way to increase the limit of the native app. Use a 3rd party app if that
    function is important to you. Others have expressed similar frustration in the past and
    have chosen another app to fill their needs.

  • Group text messaging

    Why am I not able to group text message on the iPhone 4. I want it to work like a chat room? When I send a message to everyone I want their reply to also be sent to everyone.

    Who is your carrier?
    Enabling this feature is simple:
    Go to Settings > Messages > Group Messaging and turn it on. That's it!
    Now, when you send a group message, if the other user has the feature enabled, they will be able to see everyone in the conversation as well as send a message back to everyone.
    It has been present since iOS 3

  • Send and receive mms and group text messages on Samsung Galaxy Core Prime

    I moved from a basic phone to a smartphone.  I used to be able to receive group text messages and MMS messages without having to use data or be connected via wifi.  Why is it I have to use data or be connected to a wifi sourceto receive those messages now?

    The antennae or radios in the Prime are configured differently than most flagship type smartphones and even different still from basic phones.  It comes down to difference of hardware.

  • Why can I receive text messages but not send?

    Why can I receive text messages but not send. This has been happening for about 10 hours.

    Thanks for the response. Must be smart phones. My daughter has a dumb phone and she can send out. I tried deleting my text messages on the Verizon website, but they won’t delete. It must be on their end. Chat line was busy forever, until they shut it down.

  • How can I hide the recipients of a group text message?

    How can I hide the recipients of a group text message?

    This is Illustrator, no matter which version you are using.
    It doesn't work like in other programmes and Illustrator's behaviour is often undesired.
    There is no good trick that I'm aware of to mimic Draw's or Freehand's way to do it.

  • What are all the reasons why imessages turn into text messages...such as the recipient is talking on the phone, etc.?

    what are all the reasons why imessages turn into text messages...such as the recipient is talking on the phone, etc.?

    Hi,
    What's the worst that I've spent 100 Eur alltogether for GPS map based applications for several sports - golf, bike, ski, etc. These applications use data from iPhone Map application and its disaster after my update onto iOS 6. These are pictures of 2 of my favorit golf resorts:
    And here one example from a place where I use to bike:
    Very nice, isn't it?
    And unfortunately this problem won't disappear even when Google put stand alone map application into iStore.
    So I have only way to downgrade to 5.1.1 immediately to not throw away money I already spent.
