Why won't my iPhone allow me to send or receive pictures?

I have an iPhone 4S and when I receive a picture it links me to the website of Telus(my service provider) where I can look at the picture. Why won't it come straight to my phone? And why can't I send a picture

Check you have MMS enabled.
Go to Settings then Messages & make sure it is switched on.

  • Why won't my iphone 4s send or receive pictures? I have an unlocked iphone 4s that I use with T-mobile. I know that it is not a problem with T-mobile as I was able to send and receive pictures a few days ago before I switched to an iphone. I've read a few different things online saying that its a problem with iOS 6 but how do I fix this? Step by step instructions would be appreciated as I'm new to the iphone
  • Why won't my new iPhone 6 (AT&T) send or receive texts/calls? I activated it two hours ago and backed it up with the data and phone number from my old iPhone 4. Both phones now read AT&T and show cellular signal and data in the top left hand corner. But when you text or call my phone number, the iPhone 4 receives it. Why won't my new phone receive it?
  • Why won't my iphone send or receive texts? I have just bought an iPhone off my friend. I also have free texts. It sometimes says that I have signal and other times says that I don't have any. But whenever I try and send a text they won't send. I also don't receive any messages either. Does anybody know why this is happening?
