  • Why can't I send or receive iMessages on my iPhone?

    I've been using iPhones for about 5 years now and I've never found a problem with one that I couldn't fix until now and it's really starting to irritate me because no one has any idea whats going on. I just got a iPhone 4 from one of my moms friends because my last one broke and for some reason on this phone I can't use iMessage. I can use FaceTime and do everything else on my phone except for using iMessage. I have iMessage turned on and activated in the setting and I have linked my apple id but for some reason when I try and iMessage someone with an iPhone my messages will only send as texts. And when people try to iMessage me it says delivered on their phone but I get nothing on my phone. Could anyone help me out? I have tried all the trouble shooting steps on here and nothing has made any difference.

    yes i've tried both my wifi and my 3g network nothing works. ive been talking to apple the last few days and no one can fix the issue, they just keep telling me they'll call back the next day to try something else. i dont understand how i can facetime but im not getting the option to send or receive imessages when facetime and imessage are used on the same server

  • Why can't I send or receive MMS messages?

    I just got my Blackberry Curve 2 days ago.  I played around with it, trying to learn it and I took a picture and then sent it to see how it worked.  It worked fine.  It sent and the person received it.  I sent 2 more pictures the same day nd everything worked fine.  I could even receive messages too.  But the next day, and today I have tried sending picture messages and it won't send.  It will load and act like it's going to send but then it will just sit there in my message option with the clock icon beside it like it's trying to send but never does.  It doesn't even tell me that it's unable to send.  The message just sits there.  And also, I can't receive picture messages anymore.  They just won't even come through.  Can anybody help me?

    with the device on, pull your battery out for 20 seconds and put it back in, wait till you are fully booted and try again
    what are the letters next to your signal strength?
    do normal SMS text messages work, and do emails work?

    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 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 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 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 pictures?

    I am using my IPhone with Straight Talk. I can't send or receive mms. I thought this might be because of the switch, but I read that this has been an issue with the phone. What do I need to do to be able to send and receive mms?
