Won't send or receive MMS

My new iPhone 4 fails to send or receive MMS messages. Is this a hardware problem or a carrier problem? (Also, the battery life is awful. Barely lasts a day. But it seems that's another story...). This is my first iPhone. So far, a bit of a disappointment.

Thanks for your replies. For some reason, it's sorted itself out and I can send MMSs. However, now the email has stopped working and won't receive any new messages! Beginning to think the iPhone 4, or alt least OS 4.1 is a bit of a dud.

  • Cannot send or receive MMS messages!!

    I cannot send or receive MMS messages on my BT mobile HTC S620.  Also I keep getting the BT Set-up screen yet it won't proceed past the first step of four!  I have re-set this handset back to factory settings and updated the software via computer/download, however, I cannot find a solution to get my MMS messages! Help please?  (By the way wireless, emails and SMS messages work fine.)
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Sounds like something has gone wrong with regards to the MMS settings and looks like you'll need to re-enter them.
    The settings I found for it as follows:
    Access point name: mobile.bt.uk
    Username: user
    Password: btmms
    Authentication: Normal
    Data bearer: GPRS
    Gateway IP address: 212.183.137.012 or 62.239.21.123
    Session mode: Permanent
    URL address: http://mms.bt.com/servlets/mms or http://mmsc.btmms.co.uk:8002
    We have also been told that the following settings may work for a corporate BT Mobile: APN: btmobile.bt.com , username:bt , password:bt, port:8799 , IP address:212.183.137.12
    My Motto:
    Going to kill my HomeHub 2 very soon.

  • Can i send and receive mms messages in my ipad ?

    how i can send and receive mms messages in my ipad?

    You should be able to do this through the iMessage app if the other person is connected through an apple device If not however there are plenty of apps on the app store that you would be able to use to send pics as long as the other user has a smart phone (does not have to be apple)... for example WhatsApp, Kik, Skype etc Hope that this helps!

  • How can i get my iphone on straight talk to send and receive mms?

    I have an iPhone 4 on straight talks network. I have never been able to send or receive mms messages to anyone other than a device with iMessage.  How can I get it to work?  I dont want to change to a Galaxy or any other kind of phone, but I will if this doesnt get figured out.  Straight talk says its an issue with Apple products. Please help!!

    Hey Jstugelmeyer,
    First, I would go through these three steps:
    Restart your device.
    Update to the latest iOS Software.
    If you are trying to send a message to multiple recipients and you type in each contact manually instead of using the contacts list, make sure you tap return instead of space to separate each one.
    Then, if you still can't send or receive MMS messages:
    To send and receive MMS messages on your iPhone, verify that your wireless carrier supports MMS2.
    Ensure that MMS Messaging is turned on in Settings > Messages.
    Verify that your phone is able to access cellular data.
    Some carriers allow you to edit your APN (Access Point Name), which may prevent MMS from working.
    If you are roaming outside your calling area, make sure you have Data Roaming turned on in Settings > General > Cellular to send or receive MMS content.
    While on a phone call, you will be unable to send or receive MMS messages when using an EDGE, GPRS, or any CDMA cellular data network. After the phone call ends, you will receive any incoming messages. If you tried to send an MMS message, you may need to send it again.
    If the issue persists and your wireless carrier has confirmed that your wireless account is provisioned2 for MMS, restore the iPhone.

  • My phone won't send or receive texts. Does anyone know why?

    Does anyone know why my phone won't send or receive texts? I've updated my phone numerous times.

    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Beyond that, SMS is a carrier feature.  Contact the carrier to troubleshoot.

  • Iphone 5s not sending or receiving mms

    I Just got 2 new iphone 5s and neither one will send or receive MMS messages. Verizon says they are looking into it. Is anyone else having this issue?

    Sending MMS is a carrier feature.  You'll have to deal with Verizon.

    The antennae or radios in the Prime are configured differently than most flagship type smartphones and even different still from basic phones.  It comes down to difference of hardware.

  • Imessage won't send or receive messages?

    I've been having a bunch of trouble with imessage. It won't send or receive messages 75% of the time when I'm trying to use it. I've reset my network settings multiple times, restarted my device multiple times, and logged out and back in. My wifi is fine. Everything else works. Except imessage.

    Hi IssiHerondale,
    Here is an article for you that will help you troubleshoot this issue with iMessage:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2755
    If you can't send and receive iMessages
    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
    To resolve issues with sending and receiving iMessages, follow these steps
    Check iMessage system status for current service issues.
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and make sure that you registered iMessage with your phone number or Apple ID and that you selected iMessage for use. If the phone number or Apple ID isn't available for use, troubleshoot iMessage registration.
    Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify data connectivity. If a data connection isn't available, troubleshoot cellular data or a Wi-Fi connection.
    iMessage over cellular data might not be available while you're on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn which network your phone supports. If your network doesn't support simultaneous data and voice calls, go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi on to use iMessage while you're on a call.
    Restart your device.
    Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
    If you still can't send or receive an iMessage, follow these steps
    Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
    Make sure that the contact you're trying to send a message to is registered with iMessage.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and recreate the contact in the Contacts app. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
    Back up and restore your device as new.
    If you aren't receiving iMessages across all iOS devices
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive on each iOS device and make sure that you signed in with your Apple ID. You must use the same Apple ID on each device.
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By iMessage At and make sure that you selected each phone number and email address you want to use with iMessage.
    If you linked a phone number to your Apple ID with iMessage and the phone number hasn't appeared, followthese steps.
    Sign out of your Apple ID in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and Settings > FaceTime on all devices.
    If you're linking a phone number to an Apple ID, sign in to iMessage on your iPhone first. Then sign in to the rest of your device one by one with iMessage and FaceTime.
    If your iMessages didn't transmit as SMS when iMessage was unavailable for use
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send as SMS and turn on Send as SMS.
    Select your phone number when Sending iMessages in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Start New Conversations From.
    Make sure that you can send SMS with Settings > iMessage turned off.
    Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

  • IMessage won't send or receive pictures

    iMessage won't send or receive pictures, no matter how big or small they are. Not issue sending pics from iphone or ipad. if i access the file transfer window, it shows the following message below each picture that did not go out:
    NSURLSession error: The operation couldn't be completed. (NSURLErrorDomain error - 1200.) ((null))
    Any ideas?
    This issue started a few days ago, no changes in SW or HW ever since, so not sure what is going on.

    Hi,
    Try zipping/Compressing the files or pic first.
    Other people are having the issue and the zipping is the only work around we have discovered so far.

    I have just purchased a new iphone 5s however it won't send or receive texts?? I can make and receive calls and the internet is working fine, any one got any suggestions how to fix it? Thanks

    Are you trying to use actual SMS with non-iOS devices. If so, SMS is a carrier funcation and you would need to contact your carrier. If you are trying to connect to iOS devices, that is an iMessage, and you would need to go to Settings>Messages and see if iMessage is turned on and activated.
