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.

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 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.

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.

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 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?

I can no longer send or receive text messages on my iphone 3g.

Any suggestions? I have version 4.2.1 installed.

Try a hard reset, hold down the sleep and home buttons, ignore the red Off slider, wait for the Apple logo, let the buttons go.

I bought an unlocked iphone 5 with 32mb especially so I could use any wireless carrier that I wanted to. Why does apple hold me prisoner to use only the carriers that apple wants????? The only thing I can't do is send and receive picture messaging.

I specifically bought and paid for an unlocked iphone 5 from APPLE so that I could use any wireless carrier I wanted to. I have been paying ATT WAYYY too much money the last 20 years. But for some reason APPLE wants to keep me from using any wireless carrier - and I can only use the carriers that APPLE will let me. WHY???? I paid my money!! I expected a lot more than I got. The only thing I can't do is send or received picture messages, but it makes me so Mad that I can';t do that!!!

If you bought an unlocked iPhone then it will work with any carrier but will work only under the restrictions or requirements the carrier sets for its customers. Apple has nothing to do with that. You are describing a problem of restricted access created by the carrer. If you cannot carry out the functions you want, talk to the carrier and see what limits they are placing on you. An unlocked iPhone is fully capable of all functions the carrer allows.
