Why can't I send mms internationally?

I can send picture messages to other Australian numbers from my iPhone 4 but not to international phone numbers. Why? I'm on vodafone, don't know if that makes a difference

You'll have to talk to vodaphone and see if your account is provisioned for International messaging. It may not be something they do unless you ask for it. Just like International roaming is not normal for most people in the US to have placed on their phones without asking for it.

  • 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.

  • Why can't I send MMS or Makes calls from home, signal is fine.

    My wife is having an issue with her Verizon iPhone 4s, it seems that when ever she is in our neighborhood she can not send mms or make phone calls, but as soon as she leaves the neighborhood her phone works fine.  Here's the kicker, it seems like she can send/call to iDevice's just fine.  We have tried with a network signal update by calling I think *221, that didn't work either. Anyone have any ideas? This started about 2 weeks ago

  • 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.
    Here is a support article for trouble shooting messages:

  • 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 or receive picture messages on my iPhone 4s?

    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 a picture when I am texting?

    Why can't I send a picture when I am texting? Have done it once but, no longer.

    MMS requires Cellular data be enabled, is it?
    Is your account provisioned for MMS by the carrier?

    Hi Kathy,
    Happy Holidays!  Do you have an iPad with cellular service and a text-messaging plan?

    What's the difference between SMS/MMS and iMessage?
    SMS/MMS lets you send text messages and photos to other cellular phones or devices. iMessage lets you send text messages and photos to another iOS device over Wi-Fi, without worrying about text-messaging charges (cellular data charges may apply). 
    What do I need to use SMS/MMS and iMessage?
    Here's what you need to use SMS/MMS and iMessage:
    SMS/MMS: A text-messaging plan. Contact your carrier for more information.
    iMessage: An iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later.
    How do I know if my message used SMS/MMS or iMessage?
    You can tell which type of message you're sending by the color of the Send button and text bubble.
    SMS/MMS: Send button and text bubbles are green.
    iMessage: Send button and text bubbles are blue.
    How can I link my iPhone number with Messages on my iPad, iPod touch, or Messages for Mac?
    When you sign in to Messages with your Apple ID on your iPhone, you link your phone number to your Apple ID. If you then sign in to Messages with the same Apple ID on your iPad, iPod touch, or Mac, Messages will link that device to your phone number as well.
    I hope this information helps ....

  • Why can't I send images via text

    Why can't I send images via text?

    Do you have data enabled? MMS enabled? While it doesn't count against your data plan, your phone should be able to send small photos, but does require a data connection.

  • Why can't I send and receive photos

    why can't i send and receive photos

    What have you tried?  What happens?
    Could you send them before?
    Has anything changed?

  • 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.
