IPhone 4S only receiving picture messages through Data?
I'm only receiving picture texts when my Cellular Data is turned on. I want to be able to receive them through Wi-Fi
Why is it doing this? And I already have MMS enabled
Picture messages doesn't use Wi-Fi. It uses ONLY the cell networks.
1. If you send a picture, it'll use the cell network. It will NOT send pictures threw Wi-Fi.
2. When you receive picture messages, it'll use the cell network to receive the picture.
They do this because not all phones uses Wi-Fi. And the phones that don't use Wi-Fi, they use the cell network. There's no way to change this.
- Why do iPhone messages come up as picture messages on other phones? When my friend sends me texts, she has an iphone, they come up as picture messages and i can't revieve them on my phone because my plan doesn't cover picture messages. Can she change the settings so it won't come up as a picture?
- Why am I only receiving texts when connected to Wi-Fi? I have an iphone 4, and I can only receive messages when connected to Wi-Fi! I can send them, but i only receive them when i get home or when i have Wi-Fi. Also, i can't send texts to my friend's ipod without Wi-Fi. Why is this happening & should I go to the verison store? (its not the cell service thats the problem because i can get calls)
- When I receive text messages with emojis from an iPhone, why do the messages only appear partially? My phone is a "Verizon Samsung Intensity II" slide phone. (Also it's blue but that doesn't matter.) Also, if I'm included in an iPhone group chat (spoiled rich friends, but not snobby…), I get each posted message as a separate message, so I'll end up randomly with 67 unread messages clogging up my inbox.
