Why can I not send mms messages on my iPad???

I can't send mms messages on my I pad???

Not likely,
An ipad is not a cellular phone even if it has a cellular module, that module is for data only so sms/mms messaging is not available to an ipad with using a third party app that transfers the messages from voip to cellular phone networks.
So messages on an ipad is an Apple only protocol and only works to other Apple users that have also registered their devices with messages, attempting to send to a user with a different device (android for example) will simply fail.

  • HT4623 Why can't I send MMS messages on IOS 7.0.2 from my Iphone 4s on Straight Talk?

    After upgrading my Iphone 4S to IOS 7.0.2 I no longer can send MMS messages.  I have already reset the network settings several times.  This is very anowing and I have lost sales because of it. 

    Ask straight talk why you can't send MMS - since it is a carrier feature.
    are you provisioned to use MMS?  Do you have MMS turned ON.

    You can send iMessages with your iPad, not regular SMS/MMS.

  • Why can't I send sms messages from my iPad anymore?

    on one of the updates Apple did they changed it to where sms messages (green bubbles) could be sent from an iPad. I had done it several times however now when I try it the contact shows up in red and it won't let me send anything!

  • Why can I not send a SMS message to a non iPhone when MMS is turned off?

    Why can I not send a SMS message to a non iPhone when MMS is turned off? I'm getting charged an MMS every time I send a text to a non iPhone so have turned off MMS. Have tried all sorts of work arounds include rests etc. Anybody any ideas?

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

  • Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?  Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

    Apple is great!
    Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?  Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).
    I compose an iMessage with the destination as my email address and I attach 2 photos I want on my PC.  I send them several times from my iPhone 5C but they never arrive. I look at my ipad later and realize that it's iMessage app is getting ( and swallowing) these emails. I then turn the ipad off.  Still can't get the photos through because iphone is now getting them on it's iMessage.  I turn off the iMessage feature and try to send photos from text msging.  Phone tells me it can't send photos unless iMessage it turned on.  What happened to regular MMS text messaging?  I go and try to send photos as an email attachment and see that there is no option to attach from the stupid email program.  I look up online to learn about the brave new world of apple attachments and send them.
    Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?
    The email program on my iphone is not configured to remove messages from the server.
    If iMessage is turned off I don't have the issue.
    Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

    Did not work. I've selected iMessage to ON and left it. After a few hours I recieved a message "activation unsuccessful. Turn on iMessage to try again". This has been going on for the past 3 days.

  • Why can't I send i-message and use facetime with my iphone 4s(BTW, there is nothing wrong with my apple account))

    Why can't I send i-message and use facetime with my iphone 4s(BTW, there is nothing wrong with my apple account))
    It functioned well originally, but a month ago I could not use facetime and send i-message anymore. I think there is nothing wrong with my apple ID because I can still download apps in apple store.

    Try turning both iMessages and Facetime off in SETTINGS then re-enable iMessages and then Facetime. See if that helps.

  • TS3274 Why can't I send text messages to some of my people in my contact list?

    Why can't I send text messages to some of my people in my contact list? What do I have to do?

    You can send imessages to anyone who is using an Apple device (recent models).It will try to go via wifi but if it can't then it will try to send as an SMS and for that you need cellular capability.
    Does your iPad have cellular capability?  If not then you can't send to non-Apple devices through iMessage.
    Hope this helps a bit.

    Most likely your carrier has not enabled texting on your phone.

  • Why can I not send e-mails from my e-mail account? I can receive e-mails. Not an iCloud account. It is a Bell Aliant account.

    Why can I not send e-mails from my e-mail account? I can receive e-mails. It is not an iCloud account it is a Bell Aliant account. An account I pay for.
    This is the second time in three months this has occurred. Bell Aliant suggested I contact Apple directly as the only option is to remove my e-mail account and reconfigure it. This will mean losing all my files. These files are very important as my account is a business account.
    Bell Aliant thought perhaps it is an Apple problem and that Apple may better be able to remedy the situation without me losing my e-mail files.

    Sorry ?
    An Internet email provider losses all your Mail and it's Apple's fault ??
    Did they explain how the app managed to delete all of your mail and then not even let you have access ?
    If that was the case the app should still be able to access the empty folders.
    I know there is often blame and counter blame in these situations but there are limits.
