Why can't I send picture messages and group messages with MMS?

Picture messages fail to certain people with invalid destination address.  Then the group messages won't send unless I send them as individual texts.  Very frustrating. 

I am having this same issue! I got my S3 in December & it has worked fine until about a month and half ago. . .around the time of latest software update! I can not send MMMS messages (group texts, pics, videos). It doesn't matter if I am on wi-fi, 3g, 4g LTE. It does not send!!! And I am getting ******. Help Verizon!!

  • HT3529 Why can't I send pictures through a text message?

    I have recently upgraded to an iPhone (first time iPhone user) and I am trying to send a picture that I recently took to an individual through a text message.  I have tried viewing the picture and pushing the button that brings up the option to send the picture through a message, but when I try to do that I always get a message telling me that the message has failed.  I'm not sure exactly what to do at this point.  Any help will be much appreciated.

    I am using AT&T and the individual I'm trying to send the message is also on AT&T service, but they have a different type of phone that is not an iPhone.

  • 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.

  • I have an iPhone 4 and under a Pay As You Go plan. Why can't I send picture messages?

    I have an iPhone 4 and I'm paying my bills through the Pay As You Go $50 Monthly Plan. Lately, I couldn't send pictures messages or have wireless access to anyone on my phone. I'm able to send text messages and make calls but can't send picture messages or unable to have wireless internet unless it's under a Wi-Fi. If I'm under a GoPhone plan, what plan should I purchase in order to send pictures and have wireless access to my phone? Should I switch over to the the $65 Monthly Plan? Purchase the Feature Packages? Please help

  • Why can't I send picture messages on my iPhone 5 with Tmobile?

    Can't send a picture message (or send photo as a text message). The camera icon doesn't work in message mode, and there is no option to send photo as message in photo mode (but facebook, email, twitter, etc are all there). I've heard this is a problem with T Mobile, but they say it is a hardware issue. Anyone else with T-Mobile have this issue? how did you resolve?
    Thanks!

    T-Mobile in the US? They are not a supported carrier. There have been known issues with MMS messaging on T-Mobile going all the way back to the first iPhone someone took to their network.

  • 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).

  • TS2755 Why can I only send picture messages to people with iPhones??/

    For some reason I can only send picture messages to people with iPhones,any ideas what it could be that's wrong??? This is the first iPhone I've ever had by the way,it's an iPhones 4S

    Did you actually call your carrier and verify that? Or are you just assuming that, because it worked on your previous phone, the feature is on your account? Sometimes, when you change phones, things get messed up.

  • Why can't I send picture messages

    when i try to send pictures to another phone I get a red !. what can i do?

    This is a fault with the iPhone 4s. I have had this issue since I got my 4s in January and have tried numerous fixes after reading endless forum comments on this. My carrier (o2)  just keeps telling me it's a problem with Apple and they are looking for a fix. Funny there seems to have been NO word from Apple on this AT ALL and it seems be to be a very big probem for a lot of 4s users. Sadly even updating to OS 5.1 doesn't fix it either. Highly frustrating as I send a lot of MMS for my job.
    Come on Apple, sort it out!!!!!!!!

  • Why can't iPhones send picture texts???

    Most new cell phones can send picture text messages. If the iPhone is so up-to-date, why can't picture messages be sent or received?

    mms should have never been replaced... My Nokia N96 is also a smart phone and it has email capabilities as well... and have u ever sent and or received a picture using email from the iphone, The iphone has so much more crap to scroll down b4 you finally get to the picture and not to mention its not as fast as mms also it has more hang ups and errors .... Maybe apple should re-evaluate and add the mms option because I for one will only use my iphone for the cool apps but for everything else my Nokia N96 is much faster and more practical for text and mms messages
