Why won't my iPhone 5 send pictures in a text message?

Ever since I updated my phone I can't send pictures in a text message.  It just freezes right before the staus bar is all the way across the screen and then I have to send it as a text message.  Sometimes after I do that the person I am sending it to gets both pictures.

Mine is doing the same exact thing. It has that red exclamation mark. Can someone please help?

  • Why won't my iPhone 4 send pictures with messaging?

    Me and my brother got our iPhone 4's on january 3 2013. About 1 month ago we started having a problem with not being Able to send pics with texts. Now I what ever I try I can't send them I upgraded my phone to iOS6 and that seems to be the problem if anyone can help or tell me how to uninstall ios6 then I'd be super super thankful
    Thanks
    Sheila

    Like above, you cant remove iOS 6 so you need to look at resolving the issue instead.
    go to settings>messages> and make certain MMS is selected (multi-media messages - aka picture messages)
    If you are still having issues, I would recomend going to settings>general>reset>then reset network settings - this will only reset the way your phone tries to send messages with the service provider.
    If still having issues, contact your carrier to see if you have text messaging issues with your carrier before restoring your phone.
    Good Luck!

  • 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.

  • How do i import outlook email addresses to iphone and send as a SMS text messages

    How do i import outlook email addresses to iphone and send as a SMS text messages?

    You can send a message through an email gateway so that it appears as a text on someone's phone. However, it's not their regular address. For example, for a Verizon customer, it would be [email protected] Perhaps that's what you're thinking of?

  • Why won't my iPhone 4 send text messages?

    I have an iPhone 4. About a month ago, I removed its SIM. I put the SIM back a few days ago and now I can't send text messages. All the other features of the phone are working. Do you think something is wrong with the SIM or is the phone at fault? I was able to send text messages before.

  • HT3529 Why can't I send pictures through a text message?

    I have recently upgraded to an iPhone (first time iPhone user) and I am trying to send a picture that I recently took to an individual through a text message.  I have tried viewing the picture and pushing the button that brings up the option to send the picture through a message, but when I try to do that I always get a message telling me that the message has failed.  I'm not sure exactly what to do at this point.  Any help will be much appreciated.

    I am using AT&T and the individual I'm trying to send the message is also on AT&T service, but they have a different type of phone that is not an iPhone.

  • Why won't my iphone let me activate my imessages under message settings?

    cannot receive text messages. says its waiting for activation, but when I type in my Apple ID password it won't connect. I have tried resetting, and turning it off. This happened after I updated to the new iOS 7 software.

    This happened to my daughter. She is away at college so I couldn't work on her phone. She met with the Genius today at the Apple store and he said it is a "glitch" that has happened to some users when updating to iOS 7. I know it didn't happen to me. He told her she would have to restore the device as new and then resync data. I'm not so sure I agree with that, and she doesn't either, so she is going to wait until the weekend for me to come and look at her phone and see if I can find an alternative.

  • Why won't my iPhone 5 send or receive picture messages?

    I recently purchased a new iPhone 5 on Vodafone, since I've had it I've been unable to send or receive picture messages.
    I have rang Vodafone several times and each time they reset and send through the correct settings to my phone. Each time also not being successful.
    I spoke with a lady from Vodafone this morning and she claimed it was a problem with the iPhone 5 model and not being able to pick up 3G aswell as the 4/4S models.
    This massively disappoints me as I love the apple products and was looking forward to upgrading to the 5, now I wish I stuck with the 4S.
    Will there be an update or some kind of instruction to fix this issue?

    Have you called AppleCare?
    No, it doesn't have anything to do with picking up 3G at all. I sent at least 5 pictures back and forth last night on my iPhone 5 with another person who has an iPhone 5.
    You do have MMS turned on? And you are connected to cell data?

  • IPhone not sending copy and paste text messages

    II'm have a problem sending messages. When I want to copy and paste a piece of text and send it as a message, it's not getting through. However when I send a short message to the same number that seems to work fine.

    TThe person I'm sending the message to is not receiving it But on my iPhone it is showing as sent. Only seems to happen if I copy and paste a item eg a piece of text or something from my note pad. If I send a short reply or something that I have written it sends fine. Only seems to happen when I copy and paste an item.
