Why cant I receive and send text photos to a phone that is not an iphone

Why cant I receive and sent text photos from my iphone 4 to a phone that is not an iphone?

Does your cellular plan include MMS messaging? Do you have cellular data turned on?

  • Iphone 4s-when wifi is off and I am away from my home connection can I receive and send texts and text messages?  I want to keep my wifi off to limit data (email etc) to when I want to check it.  Cellular is roaming"voice only" it says.Can I get texts?

    When my wifi is off and I'm away from my home connection - it shows wifi off (unless I turn it on to check my email etc.) - and in the settings cellular it shows "voice only". Will I be able to receive and send texts in those settings?  Or check voicemail.  I had wanted to keep my email from coming in all the time and only want to check it periodically - so I turn ON my wifi when I want to check my email.  But when my wifi was off away from home- I hadn't seemed to be getting my texts.  So- do I need to keep wifi roaming connected when away from home to receive and send my texts in real time.  (which is what I want) or am I still able to send and receive texts with my wifi off when I'm away from home.  (When I'm home I am connected to my home data plan automatically through wifi and I get texts when I'm home - but I'm thinking I'm not getting texts in real time - is it because my wifi is off when I'm away from home?  My cellular shows voice only when my wifi is off away from home.  Am I doing it right to receive and send texts away from home?  Or do I need to open up the wifi in order to receive and send text messages.  I know that I would need to turn on wifi roaming - which will use data - for email checking or sending - as well as to use browsing apps and now I'm guessing to receive voice messages I may have missed?  So do I need wifi on to receive texts too?  Thank you - GregorySC

    Hello GregorySC,
    In order to send and receive SMS or MMS messages, you will need to have an active cellular data or Wi-Fi connection.
    You will need these to send and receive iMessages:
    An iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    iOS 5.0 or later
    A cellular data connection or a Wi-Fi connection
    A phone number or Apple ID registered with iMessage in Settings > Messages

    Can I Copy and Paste text from one Contact to Another on iPhone 3G?
    You will be able to do copy & paste when 3.0 comes out this summer.
    Or even better while the iPhone is connected to my PC can I view the address book on the iPhone and make changes using my PC keyboard?
    No. You would make changes to the address book on your PC and then sync via iTunes.

  • If I am connected to Wifi and send an iMessage to a party that is not connected to the Internet then he doesn't receive the message. How do I force my iPhone to send an SMS instead?

    If I am connected to Wifi and send an iMessage to a party that is not connected to the Internet then he doesn't receive the message. How do I force my iPhone to send an SMS instead?

    It is an interesting option but I am not sure how it works. I disconnected the other party Wifi and 3G on the iPhone, iPad and computer. I sent the iMessage 15 minutes ago and it doesn't give the small foot print "delivered" but equally said I didn't get the RED exclamation mark on the right hand side of the message in BLUE. So we know that the message was sent but not delivered. I don't seem to have the option of sending by SMS when I tap on the BLUE message and hold.

    Are these photos in your camera roll? I ask, because only camera roll photos/videos can be imported to a computer.

  • Cannot send text to some numbers phone icon does not appear next to number

    Can anyone help?

    Unless the user you want to send a message to is using  iPhone and is registered with iMessage you won't be able to send messages to them.  iPad's can't send SMS messages like a phone can.

    My iPhone 4 has just deleted all my messages & won't let me receive or send texts?

    There is no way possible for your iphone to delete message by itself.
    If your having issue with text - contact your cell phone provider as texting is a carrier feature.

  • Sending text photo only iphone and cant other cellphone

    sending text photo only iphone and cant other cellphone

    Howdy Michael,
    It sounds as if you are unable to send using Messages unless the receiving party is also on an iPhone, is that correct? 
    If that is the case, I would suggest you look at your iPhone's Settings > Messages and see if Send as SMS is turned on. You should also make sure that MMS Messaging is turned on. This allows you to send using either iMessages or cellular data. See this help article -
    Messages settings - iPhone
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Why do I get error 150:30 when I try and send a photo to Elements 8?

    Why do I  get error 150:30 when I try and send a photo to Elements 8 from a PC with windows8?

    My wife had this problem for the past few days for a specific phone number. These instructions fixed it -- without having to restore from backup or contact the carrier.
    http://www.timothydeblock.com/blog/2014/5/12/fix-message-sent-using-invalid-numb er-of-digits-msg-2114
    Open Contacts -> select the contact -> select edit -> scroll all the way to the bottom and delete contact (delete multiple entries of the same phone number, my wife had five).
    Open the Messages app -> select Edit -> select the red circle and then select delete. Do this for both the person and the messages you received.
    Open the Settings app -> scroll down and select Messages -> turn off messages, by selecting the switch, and any other options turned on.
    Turn off your phone and then turn it back on.
    Go straight to messages and compose a new message and put in the phone number of the person you're trying to text. Send and that person should receive the text message. Add the person to your contacts and go back into message settings to turn on any other options you want on that you turned off.
