Unable to send MMS (pic text). Can recieve MMS and use data.

[lukejdiamond]

SOLVED---Im unable to send mms. Ive checked for solutions and checked apn settings with no luck. Everything else seems to be working fine. Can recieve mms and go online. Im using a galaxy s4 with 4.2 operating system.

SOLUTION! Although my data was working just fine, and I could recieve MMS no problems I had forgot the RE in aliasredirect MMSC setting. I am now able to send MMS. Thanks the help and suggestions!

Hi there thanks for the suggestion. I actually did a factory reset a week ago so all messages were deleted. Space isnt the issue as i have 8gigs or so available

@lukejdiamond clear old messages in phone

I had a very similar problem a while back

The phone seemed to take forever and most times I could not send the MMS

It was because no memory

I erased all old txt and voila it works

Thanks for all the replies and suggestions. The file tries to send continuiously. Ive tried several different pictures so i dont believe its a size issue. Apn settings are correct however i did try changing the APN type to the suggested one and still no luck. Also just tried to forward a pic i have recieved and still nothing.

Since you are able to receive MMS, your APN settings are correct.  There aren't any separate APN settings for sending an receiving, and it would either work or not.

When you say you can't send MMS, does an error message show up on screen or does the other person just not receive them?  If your phone tells you that the message is sent but the other preson never gets them, the issue could be on the other person's end.  When torubleshooting MMS issues, try sending an MMS message to yourself.  That would elimianate the need to ask someone if he or she has received your message.

If your phone is coming up with an error message while sending, you might want to check the maximum file size setting.  I have seen on some carriers, unless you lower the max file size, the messages won't send.

Not sure if it will make a difference but please try in APN TYPE put internet +mms +dun. This setting worked on my Samsung device.

My brother has the same problem, but he is on the iPhone 5s. There doesn't seem to be a way to change any data/MMS connection settings though. Wondering if anyone knows about this general issue and if it is related to backend settings on PMs part?

Not an Android user but did find this:

Can you forward a picture you have received?

Have you cleared your MMS history?
