Why can't I send or receive picture messages?

I have a unlocked iPhone 3G with t mobile it won't send or receive picture messages I had the same sim card in my other phone and it sent and received them so it has to be this Iphone how do I fix it or can I?

Its actually not the phone it is the service. Contact customer service and explain to them what is going on. They should be able to provide you some settings that will fix the problem. I own my own cell phone business and we have this problem every now and then as well.

  • Why can't i send or receive text messages? I have an Iphone 3Gs, and just recently I have not been able to send or receive text messages from one contact. When I try sending a message it says "received" but when we talk through facebook or anything else they inform me that they never got the message, and its the same with their phone, I never get the messages. Its becoming a big hassle and I just want the problem fixed. Can anyone help me out?
  • Why can't I send picture messages with my iPhone to other phones? I can only send picture messages to other people with iPhones but not to anyone that has any other type of phone. I have the 4S and I have my MMS/SMS switch on. What's the problem?
  • Why can't I send picture messages with iphone 4? That little photo icon next to message field is grey and doesn't work when I tap on it. Could it be because of my carrier? Oh and i can't receive pictures too
  • Why can't I send picture messages to people who don't have iphones? I have an iPhone 4 and whenever I try to send pics to ppl who don't have an iphone, it fails. I have data on, 3G on SMS on and MMS messaging on and they still don't send. The pictures are also not in HDR when I take them. Is it because some people who I'm sending them to don't have smartphones? I have everything on that's supposed to be on so I don't understand why they won't send.
