Help with MMS message with Google Voice via KitKat.
I recently upgraded to KitKat.
Now I can't send out MMS messages with my cell phone number..
Before KitKat I would usually just open Handcent and the MMS message would send out over the cell number instead of GoogleVoice.
Now when I'm using Hangouts, Handcent and others. My MMS messages are not going out. The phone is using GV to send it out..
Anyone have a resolution..
I figured out my issue..
I have two google accounts and the google account that was NOT associated with GV was chosen.
I would have thought it would still have sent the MMS message via my cell carrier...
The weird is that I was still receiving GV text messages...
Oh well, it's working now..

I've tried searching on the forum and google but cant find an answer.
Using Go SMS.
I am able to send and receive mms with stock message enable while using go sms.
If I disable the stock message and and strictly use go sms I am unable to receive mms.
I have tried setting up the apn again and using the mms settings within the app. No luck to get it to work.
Perhaps the program can not work with mms? Try to contact the developer of Go SMS.
Android has always needed the stock SMS app to send MMS, even when using third party SMS apps, don't disable the stock SMS app, just disable the notifications in the stock SMS app and keep using your preferred third party SMS app.
I can forward the incoming calls to other phone. How can I forward incoming SMS to other phone?
Both voice and SMS forwarding are network functions. And very few networks implement SMS forwarding. You might try contacting your provider and ask if they do, but chances are slim.
As an alternative, you may install a SMS app with SMS forwarding capability - something like "Auto SMS (Autoresponder)" or similar. You'll be paying for each message that gets resent, unless you're on a plan with free SMS.
If you're connected to an Exchange email server you can also sync SMS with email.
You can find these kinds of apps on the market. As the last poster mentioned, you need an sms forwarder. I use sms backup which after 1 minute of receiving a message it backs up the message onto my gmail account under a label of my choosing. You mark them as read or unread. You have a lot of possibilities when it comes to just saving or forwarding your messages. But if you want to be able to respond, then that's more difficult. You can forward the sms to another phone, but responding with the same number is a trickier subject!

Hmmm, I've been carrying two phones until I port my number from T-Mobile to O2.... might have to look into these SMS forwarding apps
I'm using a Verizon HTC One M8 and have recently noticed that whenever I send a group text in the Messages app it sends as SMS to each individual instead of an MMS to the group. When I access any thread with multiple people the phone says "Converting to MMS message..." I've checked through the settings to ensure "Group conversation" is enabled and I'm not exactly sure what the Connection settings should be but I have the following...
Name: MMS
MMSC: http:/mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms
MMS proxy: (not set)
MMS port: (not set)
MMS protocol: WAP 2.0
Strangely enough if I integrate SMS into Google Hangouts then I can send group texts just fine, but I would rather use the Messages app since having texts in Hangouts is pretty messy.
When sending from the Messages app I've noticed an icon of 2 people next to any text where it's supposed to be a group text. If I send a group text from Hangouts and then go back to Messages the icon isn't there. Then there's also the message details and when the 2-people icon is there the phone numbers goes to Cc: instead of the To: field.
Any feedback and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

While that's a valid workaround it's not a solution to my problem.
I have tested Textra and it acts similarly to Hangouts in the sense that MMS messages are "unstable" even when I have strong signal strength or if I'm on WiFi. The messages will either send immediately (rarely) or they will linger for a while before sending or linger and fail to send at all.
Anyone that uses hangouts for hangouts and sms....
Are you getting failing messages with sprint or a Google thang?
When I send mms messages to some people they only get half the picture or it just says no image ?
Mines been working perfectly. I use hangouts for SMS and MMS messages so it merges with Google chat, but I've had no issues yet.
