Why can't I send pictures on my iPhone 4? - 1

I want to send a picture through text message on my phone but the little circular camera option next to the box where you type your text isn't letting me click it. Does any one know what I can do?

My iPhone is unlocked using tmobile and I just upgraded to iOS 6.1. Not sure if that helps but I've not been able to send picture messages through texting for the longest.

Make sure MMS is on in your message settings.

  • Why doesn't my Iphone let me send pictures to people without an Iphone? I can send pictures through imessage, but not through a normal text message. Even when I try to send pictures as a normal text to people with iphones, I still can't send it. I have unlimited texting, and my settings say MMS is on. It doesn't give me any error messages, it just shows up with a red exclamation point and under the picture it says "not delivered." Anyone know why?
  • Why can't i receive or send pictures on my iphone 4? I can send and receive regular text messages, but not text messages with pics and videos! Annoying! Please help me. Full stars rewarded if you provide a thorough explanation on this and how to fix it! I have Verizon and it says mms is on And my dads phone, different type of phone, but same plan lets him send and receive pics.
  • Why can't my iPhone send pictures? I have an iPhone 4 and I can't send pictures. I can receive them but the phone won't allow me to send them or even reply in group messages. Could it be an issue in my settings or the phone itself?
  • Why can't my iPhone send or receive pictures in text messaging? My dad bought me the iPhone 4S unlocked. I got the prepaid service at tmobile which was 50$ unlimited talk text and web. I can't send pictures during text messages and I can't receive them. If someone sends me a picture I don't get it, it's just blank. The little camera icon next to the text area to type is light grey indicating I can't press on it. I can only send or receive during iMessage. Please tell me why this is happening.
