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.

My iPhone won't let me send picture messages except to one person

Recently I noticed that I can only send picture messages to one person. My iMessage setting is turned on, I have shut my phone off and then back on and it will still only let me send pictures to one person. Can anyone help?

Contact your wireless provider. Text messaging is theirs to support.

Why won't my phone send text messages but I can receive them?

I have the iphone 5 and I updated my phone to the ios7. Within the past few days I have not been able to send text messages as imessages but I can receive them. When I try to send a message it will freeze at 95% and it wont go through. I even have 5 bars and I am connected to wifi when I send them. I reset my network settings but there was no change. Is there a way to fix this? A few of my friends have also expereinced this problem.

From my original reply, "Why did you change your SIM card?" Did you change carriers, was there a problem with the original SIM, did you change plans?
The iPhone has no settings for SMS. SMS is a carrier feature, call them back and have them check the provisioning on your account. If this SIM change caused the problem, it has nothing to do with the phone.

Why won't my iPad send pictures ?

My iPad has been acting up lately with not being able to send pictures . I can receive them and send messages period fine, but when it comes to sending pictures there a load but it stops like 3/4 away from sending . It's becoming very frustrating and I have noticed it start doing this since I update the software to IOS 6! Please help me . Also it does send email through any other app or site and through email but ONLY NOT in iMessage. I have seen many forums where people have the same problem and Apple surely needs to find a solution :(

Why won't my iPhone send messages to another non-iPone?

My iPhone will send A text message to another iPhone, but fails when a message is sent to any non-iPhone. Help?

Check Settings>Messages, turn Send As SMS to On. If it's already on you may want to check with your carrier to be sure that your messaging plan is properly provisioned.

Why don't you call your carrier or your friend's carrier. SMS is sent via cellular data.

Why won't Verizon iPhone send iMessage when on call and Wifi?

I am new to Verizon and am aware of the simultaneous voice and data limitation, however I was under the impression that wifi would work normally while on a phone call, and it does.
However I am finding that when on a phone call, and successfully on wifi, iMessages do not get sent. They fail.
Anyone else get this? Can you please test it?
I have a iphoen 5 on 6.0.1 already BTW but have no idea if it happened before with 6.0.
Brian

He is correct. All data is in one giant pool once you are on Wifi. The prioritization is first come first serve, unless the phone is implementing some sort of QoS at the packet level, which is very unlikely. This is the same way a full computer works, everyone sends their data broken up into small packets (Each packet is ~1k in size at maximum.) All of those packets just go into a queue in the order they were sent, and the modem handles sending them out.
The question is if iMessage is really going over the standard data routing, or if they are still using some sort of SMS wrapper. If its just data, it shoud send/recieve without issue regardless of what other data applications are running.

I'm able to send text messages and make calls but can't send picture messages or unable to have wireless internet unless it's under a Wi-Fi. If I'm under a GoPhone plan, what plan should I purchase in order to send pictures and have wireless access to my phone? Should I switch over to the the $65 Monthly Plan? Purchase the Feature Packages? Please help

TS2755 Why can I only send picture messages to people with iPhones??/

For some reason I can only send picture messages to people with iPhones,any ideas what it could be that's wrong??? This is the first iPhone I've ever had by the way,it's an iPhones 4S

Did you actually call your carrier and verify that? Or are you just assuming that, because it worked on your previous phone, the feature is on your account? Sometimes, when you change phones, things get messed up.

My mobile device won't send picture messages

I have a problem where my mobile device simply won't send picture messages. I have clear reception right now. I've tried shutting the phone off and restarting it and taking out the battery.
Why am I paying for a service that doesn't work?
Anybody know what the problem is?

You can call customer service and have them check the provisioning on your account to be sure that picture messaging is enabled.
SOme things that may affect picture messaging:
1) 1X service only - you need EV service to send picture messages
2) Your phone says Extended network - picture messaging will be unavailable.
3) You have a total data block on your phone, to prevent data charges. It also prevents picture messaging. You can block mobile web, and downloads separately, without blocking picture messaging.
If none of these seem to apply, then I'm at a loss. What happens when you try to send a picture message? Do you get an error message?

I have an iphone 3gs and i cant get it to send picture messages to anyone without an iphone? i already checked to make sure my sms setting is on and it is.

I just bought a used iphone 3gs, (very new to the smart phone thing), and i set the phone up as a straight talk phone. I can send picture messages to other iphones but not to anyone else? I already made sure that my sms setting is on and it is, so is my imessage , mms and group message. anyone with any advise would be greatly appreciated

More than likely the problem is with the provider. You will need to check with them to find out what settings need to be on the phone to support MMS. You need to contact Straight Talk. SMS and MMS are carrier functions. The only settings on the phone are the ones you have mentioned, with the exception of APN settings, which are generally taken care of by the phone's carrier settings. I'm not aware of a carrier file for Straight Talk.

HT1688 why cant i send picture messages any more after upgrading to IOS 6

Yesterday my iphone for some odd reason turned to reovery mode and I was forced to restore&update my iPhone to the iOS 6. Now I can no longer send picture messages. i would like to go back to iOS 5.1 because the 6 is also draining out my battery and also for some reason my phone, again like yesterday, went into Recovery mode! It is really fustrating. I spoke with AT&T and I am still on the unlimited SMS&MMS plan. I dont know what the cause is of all these issues but I hope someone can fix it fat because every restore takes up 3-4 hours

I've never been able to share FaceBook posts nor seen the option using the iOS FaceBook app regardless the FaceBook app and iOS version. I can Like and I can Comment, and if I select a link or video to view under iOS 6, I can use the Share option for the link or video, but not for a post.
