Why is my iphone 5 not sending picture messages?

It'll work if I'm connected to wifi and sending through an imessage, but it doesn't allow me to send a picture through actual "text". How do I fix this?

not sure what carrier you are using but i use straighttalk and had same issue....here is how i resolved it
1. delete any profiles you have saved settings>general>profile  delete if you see profile there if not go to step 2
2. turn on wifi (my internet was also not working)
3. open safari
4. type iapnupdatetfdata.straighttalk.com
5. download profile
6. turn off wifi
7. turn off phone
8. turn on phone
my internet and pictures worked after this, any user, any carrier, no issues....hope this is helpful!

  • MMS is on but still will not send picture messages

    Every now and then I have a problem where my iPhone 4 will not send picture messages. I have checked MMS and it is on as well as cellular data and everything else involving sending or revieving data (except for mobile hotspot, but that's irrelevant).
    It will send pictures via iMessage (I sent a picture to an iTouch)
    it will not send pictures via text message.
    it WILL send text messages.
    turning WiFi off or on does not affect outcome
    turning MMS off to try to send via iMessage through WiFi results in the picture icon going away
    I've tried turning the phone on and off.
    I'm thinking there might be an error with the SIM card, where it may not think I can send picture messages...
    When sending to someone who has an iPhone, it will not try to send via iMessage it goes straight to text message.
    nothing works
    please help
    thanks.

    nevermind, I got it to work. Still don't know what happened, though...

  • Why Does the iPhone not send/receive MMS?

    Why Does the iPhone not send/receive MMS? this in the works?

    "Why Does the iPhone not send/receive MMS?"
    Apple chose not to offer this as a feature of iphone. E-mail can accomplish the same thing.
    "is in the works?"
    This has been asked and answered countless times. The forum search bar is on the right side of this page.
    Apple has announced that MMS will be included in the 3.0 software due out this summer. Before you ask, all that has been announced is in this link:

  • Droid 4 not sending picture messages

    All day I have had problems with my Droid 4 not sending picture messages. I can recieve them, but not send. Regular text messages go through fine. I've had a 3G signal all day, although the mobile web does seem to be running a bit slow. I just got this phone 5 days ago, and have had nothing but problems with it ever since. I had to get a new sim card the very first day.
    I live in central Ohio, was just wondering if anyone else was having problems, or knew of a solution

    Go in to Settings--Apps--Manage Apps Click on ALL,  Find the "MESSAGING" app and open.  When you are in MESSAGING, click DISABLE or FORCE STOP.  Next, click CLEAR DATA.  (a warning will tell you that you will loose all your data and messages, click OK.(all of my messages were saved)).  Now, click ENABLE if you dont have the enable button just exit out.  Then either (1)Exit to the home screen, go into the APPs manager (white circle with 6 dots) and find the MESSAGING icon.  press, hold and drag it back to you home sceen. Or your Message icon will still be there and it will just reenable on its own, just go and try to send your pic and it should work.
    Did for me, did for my brother.  Hope I've helped, and hopfully this is a permenant fix.  I've been sending more pictures now a day later and it still works.

  • Why won't my iphone 5 send picture messages

    So I had an iphone 4 which was configured to another network, a GSM network but now I have an iPhone 5 which is on AT&T's network. It seems that my iPhone 5 wont let me send picture messages unless its through imessage. Could this possibly be due to the network setting that were on my iPhone 4 ? if so how do i reverse this

    It shouldn't have anything to do with the iPhone 4 if your iPhone 5 has been activated properly.  You would've received a new sim since they use different size sim cards.  Try going to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.  This will give your phone a reboot and fix any network related issues.  Also, try going into Settings>Messages>Make sure MMS Messaging is turned ON.

  • IPhone 4s wont send picture messages to non iPhone users.

    I've tried reinstalling the IOS 6, changing the settings, shutting off the phone. I can not send picture messages to non iPhone users but can send texts and receive texts and receive picture messages. just can't send. Help.

        jannwj, sending and receiving pictures is very important these days because we try to capture the moment all the time. I know this issue is frustrating because I take, send, and receive pictures at least 20 times a day. I researched  your issue and did not find this as a known issue. Do you receive a error message? I recommend checking your message settings to ensure they are enabled. I have listed the steps below:
    1) From the home screen, select Settings.
    2) Select Messages.
    3) From MMS Messaging, drag the switch left or right to enable / disable.  Enabled when set to ON.
    Please let me know if this helps. Also ensure the data network is enabled. I have listed steps below:
    1) From the home screen, select Settings.
    2) Select General.
    3) Select Cellular.
    4) Drag the Cellular Data switch left or right to enable / disable cellular data.
    On /Celluar data enabled
    Off /Cellular data disabled
    Keep us posted with the status of your issue.

  • Wont le tme send picture messages

    Hi have the Blackberry curve and it will not send picture messages anymore.  It used to work fine.  When I try to send it looks like its sending... but then does nothing.  Does anyone know how to fix this?

    So you never see the red X appear next to the MMS message?
    It just continues to try to send?
    I would do this:
    1. Options > Advanced > Host Routing Table > Menu > Register.
    2. Resend your service books from your carrier BIS site.
    From your handheld device: http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB15402
    From your desktop PC: http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB02830
    3. With the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot

  • HT3529 I'm sending an iMessage from my iPhone to another iPhone but the recipient phone does not receive message because not on wifi. Why does recipient iPhone not automatically receive in text messaging?

    I'm sending an iMessage from my iPhone to another iPhone but the recipient phone does not receive message because not on wifi. Why does recipient iPhone not automatically receive in text messaging?

    Wi-Fi is not required for iMessage. Internet access is required for iMessage which includes when the iPhone is connected to the cellular network.
    If an iMessage cannot be sent, it will fail to send and you will be prompted to send as an SMS if text only.

    Hi, cymoneW. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    I understand that you are unable to send or receive picture messages via the cellular data network.  I would check to make sure that MMS is enable in settings.  This setting is located in Settings > Messages and MMS Messaging.  If the issue persists, try the troubleshooting steps in the article below.
