- You can check your iOS version by tapping General in the main menu, then tapping About .
- You must subscribe to an MMS-enabled data plan to use it.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/1/18/Enable-MMS-Messaging-for-iPhone-Step-10-Version-4.jpg/v4-460px-Enable- MMS-Messaging-for-iPhone-Step-10-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/1/18/Enable-MMS-Messaging-for- iPhone-Step-10-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Enable-MMS-Messaging-for-iPhone-Step-10-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Turn off Wi-Fi and try opening a website. This will check if your mobile data plan is working properly. If not, you’ll need to contact your carrier to fix your mobile data connection.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/69/Enable-MMS-Messaging-for-iPhone-Step-11-Version-4.jpg/v4-460px-Enable- MMS-Messaging-for-iPhone-Step-11-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/69/Enable-MMS-Messaging-for- iPhone-Step-11-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Enable-MMS-Messaging-for-iPhone-Step-11-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Turn off iMessage to see if you can send MMS messages. If iMessage is enabled, the phone will try to send the iMessage message first. The error can occur if one of your contacts just switched from iPhone to Android without disabling iMessage. iPhones will still try to send MMS messages to their iMessage account instead of the phone number with MMS. [2] X Research Source
- Open Settings .
- Tap Messages .
- Swipe iMessage to Off.
- Try sending or receiving MMS messages.

Contact your network operator. MMS is a carrier feature, which means the carrier manages the servers that send MMS data from an iPhone to another phone and vice versa. If you constantly have problems with MMS, the carrier can reset the MMS service and fix the line error.

Restore iPhone and set it up as new again. You can apply this when all else fails. Make a backup before restoring so you can get all your data back.

Advice
- On iPhone, SMS only needs cell phone signal to send/receive, but MMS requires mobile data (eg 3G, 4G).
- You can tell which protocol iMessage is using by the color of the message. Blue means iMessage is in use, and green means the message is being sent as SMS/MMS. Multimedia messages in green require mobile data to be received and sent.
