Why can't I send pix with my Galaxy S4?

My old flip phone was great. I could take a picture and send it in a message very easily. But with my brand new Galaxy S4, every time I try to send an MMS, I get a message telling me message send failed, and that the service is not set up on the network.
Mobile data is on.
Network mode is set to LTE/CDMA
Rebooting does nothing
Under Access Point Names, the only thing listed is Verizon Internet (VZWINTERNET), and Multimedia Message Proxy and Port (and pretty much everything else) are Not Set.
The only thing I can edit on this APN is the name of the network. All of the other options are greyed out.
I also cannot add an APN, which many online forums recommend you must do to fix this widespread problem.
What do I have to do to be able to send pix messages?

Thanks for the suggestion. Oddly, Verizon seems to have set my More Everything Plan to block MMS, which seems like a profoundly stupid default. I certainly did not check that box. With your suggestion, I unblocked MMS. However, I am still unable to send MMS. When I try, I get the same message about message send failing, and "service is not set up on the network." And the APN remains the same -- not set up for MMS and all options (except changing the default name for the original APN) are greyed out.

  • Why can't I send iMessages with full wifi?

    Why aren't my iMessages sending?

    Hello Beyoncé,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with iMessage.  I recommend the following steps for the issue you described:
    To resolve issues with sending and receiving iMessages, follow these steps first
    Check iMessage system status for current service issues.
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and make sure that you have registered iMessage with your phone number or Apple ID and that you have selected iMessage for use. Learn more abouttroubleshooting iMessage registration if the phone number or Apple ID isn't available for use.
    Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify data connectivity. Learn more about troubleshootingcellular data or a Wi-Fi connection if a data connection isn't available.
    iMessage over cellular data might not be available while on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn more about which network your phone supports. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi on to use iMessage while on a call if your network doesn't support simultaneous data and voice calls.
    Restart your device.
    Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
    If you are still unable to send or receive an iMessage, follow these steps
    Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
    Verify that the contact you are attempting to send a message to is registered with iMessage.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up orforward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and re-create the contact in the Contacts application. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
    Back up and restore your device as new.

  • Why can't I send text with FindMyiPhone anymore?

    I was able to send text messages with my iPhone 4 up until I upgraded to IOS 5.Then the text option disappeared. I can either select "play sound," "lost mode," or "erase ipad." Nothing more. None of them have the additional option to send a text message.
    If this is the case, I'll find another app to do the job. I was very disappointed when that fuction disappeared.

  • Why can I not send attachments with emails?

    Since updating to Maverick have been unable to send attachments to emails. WHY?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

  • Why can't I send emails with ios8 when not on wifi

    When not on wifi, I cannot send mail and a message about IMAP comes up.  It also says to check configuration in settings.  What is the solution.  Thanks.

    Probably you did not enter your email and password for the outgoing mail server when setting up the account. It works on your WiFi because it is within your ISP's network. When you are using cellular data it's outside of your ISP's network, so you need to prove who you are to the server.

  • 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.

  • I am unable to send text messages in Message. I can receive messages but not send. I am able to do both with my iPhone. Why can't I send?

    Why can't I send text messages on my iPad? I can send and receive messages on my iPhone.

    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 an icloud calendar invitation to an email with an apostrophe in it?

    Please help! why can't I send an icloud invitation to an email with an apostrophe in it?

    You are not doing anything wrong. Unfortunately, that's just the way that the built in mail app works. It really is a basic no frills mail app with not much to offer compared to other apps.
    There are third party apps that let you create groups and email to those groups. I don't use either of these, but I've seen them recommended here in the past.

  • HT201320 Why can i not receive email with my icloud account but I can send it out only

    Why can i not receive email with my icloud account but I can send it out only

    Hi Nortarian,
    The article below will walk you through the troubleshooting steps for email on your iPad:
    iOS: Unable to send or receive email
    If you are unable to send or receive email, try the following steps:
    Restart the iOS device.
    Tap Safari and attempt to load a webpage to ensure that the device has Internet access. If you're unable to load a webpage, try the Wi-Fi assistant.
    Try an alternative Internet connection.
    If your email is provided by your Internet provider, try connecting from the home network.
    If your iOS device has an active cellular data plan, try to disable Wi-Fi:  Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn off Wi-Fi.
    If not, try a different Wi-Fi network.
    Log in to your email provider's website to ensure that the account is active and the password is correct.
    Delete the account from Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and then add the email account again on the iOS device.
    Hope this helps ....

  • Why can't I send i-message and use facetime with my iphone 4s(BTW, there is nothing wrong with my apple account))

    Why can't I send i-message and use facetime with my iphone 4s(BTW, there is nothing wrong with my apple account))
    It functioned well originally, but a month ago I could not use facetime and send i-message anymore. I think there is nothing wrong with my apple ID because I can still download apps in apple store.

    Try turning both iMessages and Facetime off in SETTINGS then re-enable iMessages and then Facetime. See if that helps.

  • Why can't I send multiple pictures with my iPad? I can only send them one by one please help.

    Why can't I send multiple pictures with my iPad? I can only send them one by one please help.

    Are you trying to do this from the photos app or from the mail app? Explain in a little detail what is happening when you try to select multiple photos.
    No matter which app you are using, you can try quitting the apps completely and then reboot the iPad and try again.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
