Ok, so I decided to check out my SMS/MMS usage on My Verizon today. For this month, it shows I have no M2M (Verizon to Verizon) MMS sent or received... which is wrong because I've sent and received MMS to and received from my Verizon friends. I look at the Non M2M MMS, and there's a lot there (most likely all of them).
So, is anybody else having this problem when using GoSMS? I have an unlimited texting plan, so it's not that big of a deal, but I'm just curious why its doing this.
I haven't tried yet with a different messaging app (or the stock one either yet) to see if they show up on my online statement.
Thanks in advance, appreciate it.

Weird issue on m5. When I try to txt someone using handcent or go SMS I type there name in the new message part and nothing happens. I have to type the number of the context I wanna text for their full phone number to pop up. Anyone else seeing this happen or know what I could do??? It's really annoying
Never heard of the issue. Try another SMS app like GoSms

Hey, I was considering getting gnex for my mom for mothers day, (on sprint) but saw some people saying mms didn't work. Is that just cuz you need a 3rd party app since there's no bloat?
Much thanks to anyone who can answer. Thank you.

MMS definitely works lol. Do you seriously think Sprint would sell a $200 smartphone that didn't have working MMS? I don't doubt that some ppl may have issues but they didn't just launch the device without the feature on purpose.
And this has nothing to do with OP's issue.
My wife has an Unlocked Galaxy Nexus with JB on T-Mobile's Monthly 4G service. For some reason, whenever she sends out a MMS message, the attached image either A: Doesn't arrive (which happens to me on my Skyrocket with CM9) or B: Takes DAYS to arrive (which happens to other people who use Android phones like the original Incredible and some Samsung phone that has a keyboard.) Like a good boy I searched here to see if other people had this issue, and it looks like there may be a JB issue with MMS stuff, but I couldn't find anyone that had the same scenario as she has. She has no problem receiving MMS messages, just sending them out. On my phone it shows that I received an MMS message, but it doesn't show any picture. On her end it looks like everything sent out fine. Anyone have any ideas as to what this may be? I'd prefer an option that doesn't require rooting the phone as she is not a power user and won't have any use for the benefits of rooting, but if it has to be done then so be it (maybe I could just unroot it after it is fixed.) Could this be an APN issue?
Not sure if this helps but I'd been using go sms pro ever since I first got my gnex and it delivers all pic messages perfectly, I just had to fill in the user agent. I know that t-mobiles network is picky about what size picture it lets your phone fetch maybe the downsizing of pictures slows down the whole sending of them?
I had a similar problem which I fixed by restoring the APN to default...
I've recently upgraded two of the lines in my family plan to Galaxy S3s on AT&T and have noticed something frustrating. All my outgoing MMS work and show up as MMS on the usage bill online....However, any MMS I receive have been billed as data and count towards my monthly tiered limit. I've double checked and cross-referenced timestamps and it is definitely the receiving of MMS that shows up as Internet/MEdianet usage. Both phones are doing this I've contacted AT&T and they said it might resolve itself after a billing cycle and took off and re-added the LTE data plan (still didn't help). I'm wondering if anyone of you out there have had a similar experience after upgrading to LTE data tiered data plan w/ the S3. TIA
Mms (pic/video message) uses data. Sms (text message) does not. Ur bill is correct.

Before this smart phone data plan BS started, messaging (SMS/MMS) was messaging and they didnt charge for data but a message charge. This is BS. My wife doesn't have a smart phone or uses data at all and now she can't get MMS without data plan.
What a bunch of horse poop!
MMS messages do not count as data. it does thru a different port than your regular data. so you need to check you mms setting on your phone! I just spoke to ATT rep today and they confirmed that mms is not chargeable data. just counts as messaging

This is exactly opposite of what they told me. And I HAD to get a data plan for my wife to receive MMS. They charge twice for the same thing (MMS and data) I think, I will have to see next months bill.
I know for the longest it wasnt required to have a data plan for mms. Since phones started to evolve over the years you needed data for mms.
It has always been required to have a data plan for MMS. MMS data charges where never listed on the bill and now they are.

I've recently been having an issue with the WiFi Calling feature when attempting to send/receive MMS. I figured out that it is not ROM related. It is T-Mobile related. Has anybody else had issues sending MMS over their WiFi Calling as of late?
I receive an automated text from T-Mobile instantly after the MMS sends. It says "Your MMS message to 1********** could not be delivered. Insuffcient Prepaid balance."
I've not once had this problem before on the $30 Unlimited Text/Data with 100 Minutes plan. MMS sends fine over 4G but not WiFi Calling. It has only started recently. If anybody can shed some light regarding this issue, and maybe test it out themselves that would be appreciated. Thanks.

Haven't seen that one and I was sending MMS over wifi last night at home. Did this just start for you or has it always been that way? The one thing I've seen is I'm unable to send SMS to short numbers. Get some weird message about it's not enabled which is odd since I have unlimited everything. I'll dig more for both of these and let you know what I find.

Thanks for replying. But actually, I just tried attempting it again right now and it's working.
Must have been a temporary issue on T-Mobile's side. Kind of a weird one actually. I appreciate you replying :highfive:. I hope you find a solution to your problem.
Before I switched to sprint I had used T-Mobile LG G3. The default messaging app split long text messages into two or three, and I received long messages in similar chunks. But I used the Textra messaging app and it ceased to do that. Long messages sent as one as well as receiving 500+ character text.
Now, being with sprint the problems have re-appeared and I an unable to fix it. Textra does not change the sms limits so I send multiple text to friends and likewise with receiving. This is not a huge issue just a major inconvenience and a nuisance.
Are there setting I'm messing, apps that will help, anything i can do to keep long message as one? Please and thank you for your help.
I think it's a Sprint issue. I've been with them for a long time and always remember this happening. However, if there is a fix, I'd love to know it also.

Sprint has the 160 character limit for SMS texting. If you want to text longer messages as a single message, you either need to use an instant messaging app like Google Hangouts (though those require the recipient to also have the messaging app), or find a texting app that can convert long messages to MMS if it goes past the 160 character limit. These solutions will convert the SMS to MMS or other forms of data, though, so just be aware of that if you have some sort of data limit.
If the converting SMS to data is not a viable solution, a quick google search revealed this app: BigSMS, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=skezza.main&hl=en.
It supposedly can make long texts, but I have never used it myself, so I can't comment on if it works or not.

As I said before, I used Textra in the past and my messages were sent as one and I received long messages as one. I recently downloaded EvolveSms which fixed the issue of my messages being split by converting them into MMS (which i have no problem with at all) but I still got 4 separate chunks of their message. I know there's an option to reassemble split messages but it seems to not be working. I'll go to a sprint store to see if there's an issue there or not.

Ok, Good luck with with the Sprint customer rep. The split SMS thing never bothered me since I've been on Sprint for a very long time. However, I did a quick google search, and it does seem like some devices have native support for recombining received SMS messages, like the Sprint Galaxy S 5, so it does look like it can work. Hopefully they can do it on the G4 as well.
