If you can't send or receive MMS content, try these troubleshooting steps:

1. Verify that you have met all of the system requirements for MMS.

2. Try sending only a text message with no video, photos, or voice memos, or have the sender do the same to your full number, including area code.

• If you cannot send or receive just a text message, verify that the sender is using the correct phone number. This should be the receipient's full phone number, including area code.
  
• If you can send or receive just a text message, contact your carrier to confirm your wireless account is provisioned for MMS.

3. Check with your carrier; there may be an outage or known issue with sending or receiving MMS content.

4. Some carriers allow you to edit your APN (Access Point Name), which may cause MMS not to work. See this article for additional information.

5. If you are roaming outside your calling area, make sure you have Data Roaming turned on in Settings > General > Network to send or receive MMS content.

6. Instead of MMS, try using Mail as a work-around:

• If you have a Wi-Fi connection, consider using Mail on iPhone instead. Many carriers offer text and MMS gateway email addresses. Ask your carrier if this feature is available.
  
• Some carriers may have strict limits on the size of MMS messages. Try sending a single photo or a short (five second) voice memo. Or send the content using Mail.
