I keep getting an MMS error message CANNOT SEND MESSAGE

Hello kerrie170!

It is possible that your carrier does not provide this feature. Either way, it may be best if you contact them, for further assistance and inquiries.

For more info, please see: If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

Within the above Support Article, epeceially check out the section entitled: “If you see a red exclamation point.”

And also, the “If you still need help” section has some wonderful info related to your inquiry.

I hope this is helpful. Good Luck!

I am having this same issue. I keep getting the message “MMS needs to be enabled…” when I try to send a picture to a non-iPhone user, but it already is. This issue started after my iPhone 13 Pro Max updated to iOS 16. I can, however, send photos to other iPhone users w/no problem. I have reset my network settings, rebooted my iPhone, checked my settings (iMessage, SMS/MMS, Group messaging) multiple times, but nothing has worked. My carrier is AT&T and I have always been able to use the MMS/Group messaging feature without a problem. What else can I do?

Please help us help you. What Apple device and what OS version is it running???

We’re glad everything’s working fine for you, now! 😊

Have a wonderful day!

We, your fellow users, cannot advise you to do more than what is written in the link that’s located in the Apple Recommended post at the very top.

Good Luck!
