    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.

  • Why can't I send and receive photos

    why can't i send and receive photos

    Very vague.
    Send them from E-mail?  MMS?
    What have you tried?  What happens?
    Could you send them before?
    Has anything changed?

  • Why can't I send and receive pictures after the new update

    Why can't I sent and receive pictures after the new update

    Don't know.  Have you taken the basic troubleshooting steps outlined in the User Guide?  What exactly have you done to troubleshoot your issue?

  • Why can't I send and receive pictures?

    I have the 3G and it is my understanding that the update to allow a fix for picture MMS messages was done a long time ago. I did the update (along with my wife) and for some reason, I have never been able to send or recieve pictures? On the other hand, my wife does it just fine.
    I do get the option when clicking on pictures to send through MMS and I also have the camera icon when sending a text. So I can upload picture to MMS but I always get the dreaded red exclamation point when trying to send a picture. And I still receive the dreaded website and code to view pictures sent to me.
    I have no idea why I can do this and my wife can? Anyone have any ideas?

    True story. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3573
    Note: If your iPhone meets the system requirements, your wireless account may still need to be provisioned to send and receive MMS messages. Many carriers will automatically provision your wireless account for MMS when you first send an MMS message. Other carriers will provision customers' wireless accounts for MMS automatically in large groups at different times. If necessary, check with your carrier to confirm you are provisioned to send or receive MMS messages.

    I wonder if for some reason your's didn't get provisioned when you sent your first message. They may need to do it manually.

  • Why can't I send or receive messages on my new LG Lucid?

    Got the new Lucid, real battery hog, but it wasn't until someone told me they could not send me a message that I checked. I discovered that not only could they not send me messages but I could not send any out.
    Anyone have this same issue?

    Why can't I send or receive picture messages on my iPhone 4s?

    Make sure that MMS is turned on in Settings. Sometimes that can get turned off during an update, if you recently did that. Next try would be a reset. If that doesn't help, then contact the carrier, as SMS and MMS are carrier specific functions.

  • Why can't i send or receive text messages to some users from my iPad while there is no problem texting them from my iPhone?

    Why can't I send or receive text messages to some users from my iPad mini while there is no problem texting them from my iPhone?

    With the Apple iMessage app, You can only Message with other iOS users - iPads, iPod Touch, iPhone users and Macs running Mountain Lion or higher. With your iPhone, you can send standard SMS text messages to any phone, including Android phones.
    The iPad cannot send SMS messages or receive them either.

    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.

  • HT3529 I am confused about messaging. Shouldn't I be able to send and receive messages with cellular data off?  I can usually send the message, but often do not receive messages until I either have wifi or turn cellular on.

    I am confused about messaging. Shouldn't I be able to send and receive messages with cellular data off and without wifi? I can send the message but often do not receive messages from others, iPhone or other, until  I turn on cellular or wifi.

    Depends on the type of Message.
    SMS messages will send and receive with data off.  and while you can guarantee you send using SMS you cannot guarantee that whoever replies to you does also. They may be replying thorugh iMessage if they are using iPhones.
    However Android should be sending through SMS.
    You can turn off iMessage if you want to, though people with limtied SMS text messaging in their plans may not appreciate it, and stop messaging you.

  • 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.

  • How can i send and receive messages through CAN

    Hi,
    how can i send and receive messages using Vector CAN CARDXL

    As mentioned in this forum post, if you have a dll, this can easily be called from LabVIEW or CVI.
    I also went to the vector website and it does look like they have LabVIEW drivers available for download.
