The troubleshooting steps detailed below can help get MMS messages delivered to the affected iPhones.
- Go to Settings and turn airplane mode off.
- Go to Settings > Messages and turn MMS Messaging on.
- Go to Settings > Cellular and turn Cellular Data on.
- Go to Settings > Cellular and turn Data Roaming on if you're roaming on a cellular provider network that is different from your billing provider's network.
- Make sure that you have a cellular data connection in the status bar of your iPhone.
- Go to Settings and turn Wi-Fi off. Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify that you have a data connection. Turn Wi-Fi back on to continue using Wi-Fi for other features. If your cellular data connection isn't available, follow these steps.
- Make sure that you can send and receive SMS. If you can't send and receive SMS, see the "Issues with sending and receiving SMS" section, above. MMS might not be available while you're on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn more about which network your phone supports.
- Restart your iPhone.
- Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
- Remove your SIM card and insert it again.
If the issue persists, further troubleshooting can be found in the article linked below.

Sep 1, 2014 1:46 PM in response to Allen Aby chas144,Thanks Allen
I think I've tried everything on that list and maybe more.
Her text messages come thru ok...she just can't send pictures to either of our new phones. I chatted with a Verizon rep and she sent a picture that came through fine.
Apparently I can't send pictures to her either. I had iMessage on at the time, though I don't think it made a difference. My bubbles were green, not blue, there fore it was ams.
What ever I do will have to wait until she's available.
All she got at her end was 'message not sent'. I wonder if her pic files are too big. But the that doesn't explain why she's not getting the pictures I sent.
Ah, well. I'll turn iMessage off the next time we try...if it doesn't work the hair you'll see flying in the wind is mine
