Hello, I just got an iPhone 5. I try to send text messages to a group of people, mainly 3. It keeps saying message not delivered, but some people get it and others don't. Is this an issue with iOS6, iPhone5, or just my phone? Anyone else having this problem. Oh and I do have MMS on in my settings. Thank you.
Thank you so much! This was the perfect solution for me. I always knew I couldn't send pictures in a text but I used to be able to send group. I'm not sure what my settings were or how they changed but a month ago group texts stopped working. Turning off the MMS allowed the messages to go through.
I'm having the same problem with my text messages and mms, I can only send to people with iPhones.
Settings-messages-mms-on also try sending a picture message to yourself to activate your mms with your network provider :)
I'm having the same problem with anyone who doesn't have an iphone. Group messages and picture messages won't send. MMS is on and i've tried resetting my network settings, nothing works. It's getting really frustrating, someone please help!
Settings->Messages->Send as SMS-> ON Need this to send SMS to non iPhone users.
Also turn on Group Messaging in same area.
i've tried all that, it's all on the right settings, and it didn't fix it.
Add me to the list of people who can't send messages with pics to anyone but iPhone users. Even the Verizon store couldn't figure it out after more than an hour fiddling with it and using both Verizon and Apple technical support people. There's a bunch of threads out there just like this one, you'd think Apple would address it.
Inability to send MMS or SMS is a carrier issue. Nothing for Apple to address.
This worked for me:

apparently if you have the app "Onavo Extend" to compress your data usage, it also prevents you from sending mms.
i don't have onavo extend, and i still can't send mms messages. and diesel vdub said it was a carrier issue, what carrier do you all use? is it one main carrier that's having the problem?
I believe the resolution to this issue is to turn on Cellular Data.
I think the common scenario here is that people are connected via WiFi. Sending picture texts and group texts works on iphone to iphone because it is not using your carrier, it's an apple service. So WiFi supports this.
If you send pictures to a non-iphone user it requires cellular data from you carrier which if you have Cellular Data OFF it won't acknowledge, and so fails.
Hopefully this works for everyone.
100% correct...
so i'm back because my onavo solution failed for me too haha.
outtapocket, I still can't send MMS even when disabling wifi and going only off data, however i can still receive picture texts. The pictures do send relatively slowly though, so could it be an issue with the data speed?
I went to an AT&T store and asked a rep about it, but he said that if picture texts are sending/receiving but MMS is not it's most likely an iphone issue.
A text with a file attached (picture, video, whatever) is an MMS message.
So which is it, MMS is working or it is not working? It cannot be both.
i cannot send group MMS messages, as in I cannot send the same message to 2+ people and start a group text chat. Picture messages sent to an individual person work fine.
iphone 5 won't send mms
