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

  • Why can't I send multiple texts any more? I am on iphone 5 and it is only allowing me to send messages to 10 people at once! Previously on iphones 3 and 4s I could send to many more.

    Why can't I send multiple texts any more? I am on iphone 5 and it is only allowing me to send messages to 10 people at once! Previously on iphones 3 and 4s I could send to many more. I use my phone for work and want to send to multiple staff groups or project leaders the same information at the same time and not all of them have email capable phones so text has always been the best solution.
    Please help ?

    22ms is a long time for your computer, but I am wondering about your network. Are you 10 base or 100 base? Switch or hub? Have you tried a direct connection with a crossover cable? Just trying to spark ideas here. I use TCP all the time but only at 500 ms intervals.

  • 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 people send a text message to my new iPad phone number

    Why can't people send a text message tou my new iPad phone number? I just got this iPad for my birthday and my wife has secretly told everyone the new number to send text messages to as a surprise when I onpened it... but none came through.

    Only individuals with iOS devices can message you and they must message you via the email address(es) associated with your Apple ID.
    They cannot message a phone number unless you have an iPhone associated with the account.

  • Why does my iphone send all text from only one of my contacts to my email?

    Why does my iphone send all text from only one of my contacts to my email? I'm curious to know if anyone else has had this issue with the Iphone 5s...

    imessage has a new setting that shows all emails associated with your apple id.  There are two sections, send and receive.  Since you are using the same apple id, Im sure if you adjust one of those settings to your mobile number instead of your appleid, it wont send double.
    You might also have to adjust your wifes settings too, so those emails dont overlap

  • Why can't I send a text message while talking on the phone?

    Today I was on the phone and received an important text.  I tried to answer it, but received the message that it was not delivered.  I had to end my call to send the text.  Why can't I send a text or get directions from Google Maps while I am on the call?

    Google Voice allows texting (and is useful for other things as well). If you're not in the U.S., I don't have any suggestions beyond searching the App Store for "Text" or "SMS". In the U.S., there are a number of apps that allow texting to other people who have the app (much the same way iMessage works) but there are a few that will also allow texting to other phones.
    Best of luck.

  • Why can't I send a text to a contact from my I-pad but can send to that contact from my I-phone?

    Why can't I send a text to a contact from my I-pad but can send to that same contact on my  I-phone

    Are you saying you are successful in sending text messages to Android users from your iPad?  I doubt you can do that as iPad does not SMS, which is what a cell phone does, but iPad is not a cell phone.  The Message App in iPad was designed to let you send messages to other iOS based devices.
    There are Apps you can get from the App Store, like TextFree, which will assign a number to your account, but from iPad you can text all your contacts regardless of type of device.  You will however need to let everyone you message with know what number a message would come from as it won't come from your cell number.

  • 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.

  • 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).
