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.

  • IPhone6 is not sending or receiving texts from non-Apple users, except when in Group texts. I've tried the various fixes on the main support page to no avail. Any ideas?

    Have you contacted your carrier to make sure there's no issues with your account?

  • Why can't I send picture on text messages

    I can not send picture when I am texting can you help me fix that? Thanks!

    A simple text message is different from a picture message - from both the cellular carrier's and the iPhone's point of view.
    To allow pictures in messages on your iPhone, check Settings > Messages > MMS Messaging = "On".
    Also make sure your cellular carrier allows it (generally costs more than simple text messages).

  • HT4993 Can not send pictures via text.

    Why can't I send pictures via text message from my iphone 5 unless I am attached to wifi but my daughters 4s works fine.

    You might want to contact your carrier to confirm that your account is correctly provisioned for MMS messaging.

  • 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 and receive text messages on my new 5c ?

    Why can't I send and receive text messages on my new 5c ?
    I can send imessages. I can sometimes send texts. But I cannot ever send picture texts. and I am not receiving texts.

        Antny,
    Yikes, this is no bueno let's get these messages back up and flowing. Are you able to send out regular text messages ok? Ensure your Picture Messages feature is turned on, follow these steps: Settings>Messages>MMS Messaging. Also ensure Send as SMS is turned on as well. If these features are turned on then try this: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings then retest. Keep us posted please.

  • HT201229 Why can't I send or receive text messages on my I pad.

    Why can't I send or receive text messages on my I pad.

    1. Messages on the iPad can only be sent to other iDevices
    2. They must also be registered with iMessage
    Note: The two above conditions must be met.

    Another thing you can try is to ensure that the setting for ( send as sms if imessage unavailable ) is turned on, this can be found in Settings : Messages. If this doesnt work you can also try changing the contact details to read mobile instead of iphone.
    That setting is not relevant to sending SMS messages to non-iPhones. It only affects what happens when an iMessage won't go through to an iOS device. And, what the phone number is labeled has no effect on anything. You could create a custom label "Rutabaga" and the SMS would still go through if the account was properly provisioned. Those labels are for human brain convenience only.
