Why is my iPhone not receiving MMS from blackberry's?

I am able to receive picture messages from other iPhones but when a blackberry user tries, it never comes through. Is this a carrier issue or an issue with my iPhone?

I've been having the same problem! It's both sending and receiving though. I can send and receive pictures from iPhones right away. But when I send a picture to a blackberry, they receive it hours later ... always overnight (even if I sent it in the morning). Same with receiving a picture from a blackberry, I wake up and have received the picture they sent hours ago. Also, I have only had this problem since I updated my phone. I would say its the blackberry, but the blackberry owner I'm trying to send to hasn't had problems sending/receiving to other updated iphones.

IPhone (AT&T) not receiving texts from Blackberry (Verizon)

Hey Guys,
The problem is pretty much stated above. I'm on an Iphone 4s (this was happing on the 3gs as well, so I don't believe that it is an Iphone problem) - i just didn't realize it until now that it was a problem. - her phone (the blackberry. don't know the model) is working fine and recieves my text messages, but when she goes to text back, nothing...
was wondering if you guys could help, i searched the apple discussions from before, but didn't find anything all that useful. - was wondering what you guys knew so if i do have to go to AT&T or apple. i at least know something. (i'm good with technology. but it being just one phone number (that i'm aware of) is strange. - we have an unlimited data plan (grandfathered into it) and from what i understand, my friend (on the blackberry) has had no issues texting any other cell phone (or iphone) besides mine.
any ideas? - let me know if there is anything else i can do to clarify if something doesn't make sense
thanks in advanced!
Note - While put under "iPhone 4s" this started under the iphone 3gs, and is still not working on my new iPhone 4s, so.. just to clarify. -- Also, I said in the title, I am on AT&T (with Iphone) and she is on Verizon (with Blackberry)

if the link provided doesn't help, then contact your cell phone provider as sms is a carrier feature.

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:

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.

Can't receive MMS from iPhones

Hello Folks,
Just picked up the Fascinate 3 days ago. LOVING it so far.
That being said, I am having an issue whereby I cannot receive MMS messages sent from iPhone users. I've tried with 3 different iPhones with no luck. I've also tried a couple of other devices (LG Titanium and Blackberry Storm) and am able to receive MMS from these phones, so I think the issue may be limited to iPhones.
Has anyone else experienced something similar to this?
Thanks in advance for your input!
- DB

I have provided some information below that may help with receiving a MMS message.
The Samsung Fascinate supports the following file types and formats.
Pictures
PNG, GIF, A-GIF, WBMP and BMP
Formats
Video
H.263, H.264, MPEG4, 3GP,
3G2 (v9), Xvid and DivX formats
Music
WAV, MP3, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, AMR-NB,
AMR-WB, WMA (v9/10), EVRC, QCELP, MIDI, and SP-MIDI formats
In order to receive a MMS message, the message containing a picture, video, or sound must be one of the supported file formats above. The MMS message also has to be within a required size format. I have provided the size requirements below:
Ensuring picture / video message does not exceed file size limit
Devices with a .3 megapixel camera can send / receive a maximum file size of 100 KB.
Devices with a 1.2 - 2 megapixel camera can send / receive a maximum file size of 350 KB.
Devices with a 3.0+ megapixel camera can send / receive a maximum file size of 500 KB.
Lowering the camera resolution will reduce the image file size.
The maximum file size that can be sent from an email to a device is 3 MB. When any message over 350 KB is sent to the device, the file is reduced in size to be under 350 KB prior to delivery. If a device sends a 500 KB file to a device with a lower file size limit the file will be reduced to a file size acceptable by the receiving device.
Many devices are capable of sending messages that exceed intercarrier file size limits (typically 300 - 600 KB).A message that exceeds the other carrier's limits will be rejected and not reach the intended recipient.
***The issue you are experiencing may have to do with file formats, or file sizes that are being sent to the device. Try having the user send another MMS of the supported file (types listed above) and decreasing the size of the file to meet the ranges (listed above). I may also advise the user to send a MMS message to another VZW subscriber (if possible). This will help determine whether or not it is a file/size issue, or a carrier issue.
I hope this helps.

I just got a droid MAXX and I'm not receiving texts from iPhones.

ok so i just switched from an iphone after having 2 for 4 years and i got a motorola droid maxx 2 days ago. i am not receiving texts from iphone users and i dont know why. i gave verizon my phone and so i cant turn off imessage but i cleared the phone before i gave it to them. i have also changed my apple i.d. and i have deactivated all my products such as my mac book pro and my two previous iphones. this is exactly why i switched because apple has to be a CULT and make everything so complicated. please help me solve apples stupidity.

That was a asinine and catty response. I and many others have the same problem. turning off imessage is not an effective solution. I have turned off imessage, deactivated the phone with apple and wiped the phone clean. the problem persists.

Not receiving texts from iPhone contacts when I'm not connected to wifi or cell data. I can't send and receive regular SMS texts with non iMessage users but iMessage users message are not being converted to text when I don't have internet connect

I can send and receive to any non iPhone user. I can send a message as a text to an iPhone user but if I'm not connected to cellular data or wifi I do not receive messages from iPhone contacts. From what I understand these message should automatically send to me as texts instead of iMessages but since the update it's not functioning properly. Please help. I've tried turning iMessage off and I still don't receive the messages until after I reconnect to wifi.

I have the same problem! Before the upgrade, if I wasn't connected to the internet, any messages sent to me from an iphone would convert automatically to a text message. I have payg tarriff, so I turn cell data off, as it costs too much to use it. I have wifi at home and work, but if I'm out and about, I don't receive texts from iphone users until I'm on wifi. I get them ok from non iphone users. There was never any problem until ios7

Switched from iphone to galaxy - now not receiving texts from iphone users

Switched from iphone to galaxy for multiple reasons. Still keeping my iPad and wanted to use my iphone for music. Now I am not receiving texts, apparently imessages, from iphone users - there is no notification either way that a message was not received. So iphone users think I have received a text when I haven't. This makes me angry with Apple as there have been medical issues in our family and I have not been receiving important communication. I also have clients I have not received texts from. My understanding is I will have to delete my iphone from my apple account completely, but then will not be able to use it at all for itunes or anything else.

If you still have the iPhone, go to Settings and turn off iMessage. If you don't have the phone or if that doesn't solve the problem, contact Apple Support and request that they deactivate iMessage. https://www.apple.com/support/appleid/contact/

Not receiving texts from some iphone users.. anybody know whats up with that?

Just got Samsung S4 and I'm not receiving texts from some iPhone users.
Do i have something set up wrong?

It appears you have moved from an iPhone to an android phone. The problem you are having is because you did not deactivate your iMessage service before leaving.
If you still have your iPhone, you can re-activate it and then
turn on iMessage in the settings
uncheck your email and phone number
turn off iMessage
Settings>Messages
If you don't have your phone or don't want to go thru the hassle of reactivating it, you can simply call Apple at 800-694-7466 and ask them to turn off your iMessage.

Difficulty deactivating iMessages; 3 weeks later & still not receiving texts from iPhones

I recently switched to Android, and I didn't know to turn off my iMessages before. It's now been three weeks, and I'm still not receiving messages from iPhone. I went online & tried to deauthorize my past apple devices, and STILL no luck.
Any advice? I want to contact Apple, but it's absurdly expensive, apparently, if you don't have an Apple device (seriously? $19?). How long before I should start receiving iMessages if my phone has been deauthorized?

You should be able to contact Apple support to deactivate iMessage at no charge by going to the following link and then click "Other Apple ID Topics" and then "Messages and Apple ID" https://getsupport.apple.com/Issues.action
