Can’t send photos to android phones or groups messages. MMS IS TURNED ON.

I bought a used iPhone 12 from an online store. I had a free phone carrier and when I got the phone it worked fine, I could do everything on it. Then they canceled my service so I got a new service and updated the iOS the same day I put the sim in and it no longer had MMS capabilities, the button was completely gone, and couldn’t do group chats anymore or send pictures to androids. So I got a google voice number. I just got Boost mobile and the mms button is back but I still can’t send group chats or send pictures to androids? What’s going on. I’m so angry.

iPhone 12, iOS 17

Boost mobile has picture messaging though.

yea and your line needs to be provisioned by them to use their feature that you pay them a monthly bill for, again this isn't an Apple or iphone issue.


What did Boost say when you contacted them?

This isn't an Apple or iphone issue, SMS and MMS is a phone carrier feature.
