Why is it impossible to send pictures / video as an SMS?????

It always says that the message sent was a failure, well no. Unacceptable. I have full bars and full wifi, don't give me that noise and put me back to iOS 5.1.1, besides, what happened to iOS 1.2? 1.3? Etc. iOS 6 is a sham and do not upgrade until iOS 6.1 I guess... Phone will receive texts late too and vibrate randomly. Thanks apple, I needed something like an android again....

iPhone 4S, iOS 6

I am having this same problem, but I don't think it has to do with iOS 6. My phone started doing it before I upgraded and I just took it as a non-issue/rare occurence.


Now that I'm trying it out with other non-iPhone users, I see it's a definite problem. It either shows "Sending..." until the bar fills halfway and then fails OR just immediately fails. Tested sending a photo to a few friends who have iPhone 4 and 4S' and it worked no problem.


I've tried:


  • Restarting my phone
  • Resetting my phone settings
  • Switching between 3G and wifi


Still no luck. I will try contacting Verizon, as it seems like something on their end, but everything I've read suggests the device has to be replaced for some reason.

Wow. That's incredible that apple would neglect such a small problem... But no u know what we need in iOS 6?? A useless passbook that works never, a new YouTube that *****, and everything integrated with Facebook and twitter. Sending pictures as an mms? Forget about it! If your friends or family don't have an iOS device and they wanna see a screen shot or picture they will never receive it. And on top of that, everything "new" is already on android, but by god I will never go to droid because their products are garbage. Apple u have a loyal customer with plentiful options that are 100 times better. Like everyone else with these problems, fix this stupidly small issue that received no attention in the "update"/downgrade.
