Tested on my end works fine. Call up customer service and have them reset your phone to the network

[Q] Google Voice and MMS work now? Sort of.

My friend just sent me a picture to my google voice number. I received the text message part just fine, but the actual picture was rerouted to my email address associated with my GV account. So I received the picture! Can anyone else confirm that this works for them?
I can't seem to respond from my email account back to my friend with a picture, nor can i send a picture from GV to my friend in response. But this hasn't ever happened to me before, so I am a little excited!
Yes, this the new and half-baked MMS feature in GV. As long as you've got GV set up to email a copy of your messages you can view pics and whatnot via email.
If they're on Sprint and send you MMS then you will receive it in your email inbox. This has been true since Sprint started integrating GV.

Truth but I never like the combo specially if you have bad sprint reception SMS would get delay and drain too much battery

I have been wondering about this, does it email you EVERY text or just the ones that are big enough to be mms?

Just an FYI, T-Mobile doesn't support MMS to Voice yet. So, MMS sent from a T-Mobile number won't reach Voice, but MMS from Sprint will.
yeah, as it happens, she is on Sprint, but she sent it from her iphone. I tried doing it from my work phone (iphone on verizon) and send one to my gv number from my gnex, and neither worked. Sorry to rehash old news, I guess.

Every SMS is sent to email. Best way is to create a filter so that all "SMS From" subjects you set to auto read and archive and label SMS.
That way when you do get a real MMS, you can go to Gmail real quick, pull up the SMS folder and see the SMS email with the picture.

Yes, as I said this is very old news. Sprint GV users sending MMS to other GV users gets forwarded to their email.
is this still working for people / does it work with all carriers?
I tested it a while back, sending an mms from my sprint phone to a secondary gvoice account (not the one associated with my number), and it worked fine.
I've had several people on other carriers try to send me MMS to that same gvoice number, and none of them worked. Has anyone had it work for other carriers?
I'm trying to test it out as we speak. Enabled forwarding to my email address. Only getting SMS, no MMS.

It only works coming from Sprint users who have GV integration. Its not working in any other situation.

I just set up the Voice App on my Photon Q (with Sprint) have my Sprint Number enabled as my GV number. Had friend send me a MMS from At&t went to the standard MMS app on the phone. Didn't show up in Voice or Email. I don't have sms to email turned on because it alerts me 2 times (once for email once for text). That isn't very efficient and rather annoying.
I just adjusted the settings to forward SMS to email and the same response... The MMS went through on the phones stock messaging app even though google voice is set to receive all Messages...
This would be super cool to have working seamlessly!
MMS to Google Voice number from any carrier
I was having problems with sending and receiving mms from my Tmo Note 2 and needed options.
I install "go sms pro" (free)
It works well with sending and receiving mms through the app.
I tested it out on GV and I can send a pic mms to my google voice number and it will pop up in my inbox as a text and can see the picture.
The only thing I am trying to find out is how to send mms from GV number to my cell ???
Any thoughts.

[Q] Please help, group mms issue

I have a group message going with 2 iphone friends, a windows phone, and my note 3. Everything works great 90% of the time but sometimes the group mms will get fragmented. For example some messages will come through in a thread that only includes me and 2 of the members or some mms will come through as only for me. However, everyone gets these mms's that get screwed up, just not in the thread they are supposed to be in. We don't know who's phone is causing this but I suspect its the windows phone (Nokia Lumia 521). All the phones are on ATT except the Lumia which is on metro pcs. Has anyone heard of anything like this or have any suggestions to fixing this issue?

Yup, happens with me and my brother.
We have 5 people in the thread and only his texts come through separately. Happened to me with the Note 2 and Note 3
Only fix that worked for me was downloading a third party SMS app(Textra worked well on the Note 2 and fixed the issue.. But Textra doesnt work well with the Note 3) Stock messenger stinks
Maybe Chomp SMS or Go SMS will fix the issue too?

Im on Tmobile and hes on Verizon.
I am the only one having that issue. Honestly, Group MMS has been buggy the past few days for me. My phone is sending out blank messages once in a while. PITA
Textra has just updated their app and its working pretty well with the Note 3 now.
With Textra, I dont have the group mms issue that you and I are/were having.
Try Textra and see what happens
I have issues too, its def my phone as my friends all have iphone 5s except me and it worked perfect with my S4. Out of every 10 group texts I get, I would say 3 of them show as an mms from the separate party that never changes to a group message because its unable to download the mms. I feel this phone was rushed by tmobile to get it out

Make sure you click "Use MMS for Group Chats"
If that doesnt do it, also click "Activate Mobile Data" too.
Settings>MMS Settings>Activate Mobile Data
I have both of them clicked on my phone and it works pretty well. Not as good as it did on my Note 2, but better than the stock messenger.

Thank you. It's disappointing that the stock messaging app is buggy. I'll resort to textra if a custom rom doesn't fix it.

Anyone find a solution for this? I'm in a group chat with 8 people and one of them keeps getting separated. We tried making a new chat and still, and everyone else gets his just fine. This also happened with two different group chats with completely other people.
It seems that in every group chat, one person gets left out. Happens on any chat client I use.
Sorry for the bump, only thread I've found that's spot on with my issue.
Bumping again in hopes of an answer because I too am having a problem conducting group messaging.
My Note 3, two Galaxy S3s and an iPhone 5, but we discovered today that it is originating with me. I checked the message details on all the messages I tried to send through group messaging and found something odd. When I start or respond to a group message, MY messages always go out with "unknown" in the "To" field and all the receipients are "CC'd", so when they reply to my message, it comes back only to me as an individual message. Everyone else's messages that DO show up in the group message on my phone all have everyone in the "To" field. Everyone checked their phones and all group messages that they send have everyone listed in the "To" field. I am the ONLY one whose messages go out with "unknown" in the "To" field and all receipients in the "CC" field. I can remove everyone's name and add them again before I send and it STILL goes out like that. And I can't figure out a setting or anything that stops my messages from even having a "CC" field.
So my Note 3 is junking up our group messaging and it has GOT to be a Note 3 issue originating with Samsung because I'm on Verizon and I see others posting here are on other networks.
It's probably some app I disabled that has to be enabled for group messaging to work on my phone. I say that because I kept getting an error message when trying to access my stock email app for my Exchange email whenever I had a new email after I disabled the My Magazine app. Once I re-enabled it, the error messages stopped. (Found that fix elsewhere on this forum :good

Pixel XL Group Message/MMS issues

Day 2 of life with Pixel XL, and so far im honestly loving it. Coming from an S7 Edge (which shouldnt feel like a huge jump) definitely feels like a huge jump. Anywho, im having issues receiving group texts from what i suspect samsung phones (1 of the persons i cant receive from 100% has a samsung) I can text and send pics back and forth with that person sms no problem, but when we get in our group text and start responding it comes to me in his personal text thread as "Couldn't Download Tap to Download" i KNOW ive had this issue before with nexus phones, i wanna say my 6P did this and i switched to hangouts (back then) and it fixed it, however now switching to hangouts makes a mess out of my text messages ( i guess they seperated the two apps completely). Im on AT&T if that makes a difference, google store purchased.
Anyone else experiencing this? Anyone have any ideas?

APN advice above may do it, I also hear there is something with hangout integration for MMS/SMS, maybe something is wrong there, try turning the integration off? but I also have no idea what I am talking about since I don't have the phone yet.

AT&T Nextgen is the APN you want. I run into this from time to time on my Nexus 6P on AT&T. It can be the size of the message (number of photos or too high of a resolution) someone is trying to send you or the source. I had a problem a few weeks ago with a video clip from Facebook (which I don't have), it would not "download."
I've had the same problem. It seems to only happen coming from my wife's Note 5 on ATT. I also had the same problem on my Moto X Pure. Can't say for sure if I remember having the problem using Hangouts, but definitely do using Google Messenger. I'm like you, I believe it may just be a Samsung problem because I can't remember it ever happening with anyone else I know.
I had the same issue with a group text with two other people. Once of them is using an S7 (I am on ATT and that friend is on ATT as well) and i could not receive any of his messages with the same "touch to download" error.
It seems to have fixed itself yesterday somehow and his messages started to come in.
Glad I'm not the only one. I came from an s7 edge. Can't get certain mms from my work group message, some have iPhone some have Android. ATT doesn't have a clue, google doesn't have a clue, I don't have a clue.....really no one has a clue. I did a hard reset, deleted the other APNs, put my sim card in my old phone and back in, tried a new sim card, 3 different SMS apps. It's almost as frustrating as Google's 100 pointless SMS apps but not quite that bad.
Yeah i randomly have them come in and then randomly stop working. It's frustrating definitely. Hopefully someone smarter than me comes around and tells us what's going on and how to correct?

And it just stopped working again. I noticed this is only happening when I'm using the Pixel and the other person is using a Samsung S7, on AT&T, in a group chat and is sending regular text (i.e. not an image). If that person sends an image to the group, I get it on my end. If that person is sending me a direct text message or a direct image, I can get. This only happens when he sends a text to the group.
I have another group where one of the users is using an S7 but not on AT&T and I can get his messages in the group text.
If I put my SIM in another android phone, everything is working even in the group text. This has to something to do with either the S7 on AT&T or the Pixel.
Very odd.
Interesting. Pixel 5 on at&t and I have issues with txting as well. Sometimes they just stop altogether until one triggers my txt some how and I get a few in a row. I was using chomp but I don't think that's the issue. My moto x pure on at&f was fine. Must be something with the pixel on at&t. Group MMS also takes a while to get to me. Sometimes I get them an hour after the fact. Same three ppl on my moto x pure last year with no issues.
Anyone figure anything out? Was hoping the new messenger update would have solved it but nope. Still doing it

Solution: This seems to be happening when both sides are using the same carrier and one side has a stock android and the other has a carrier branded Samsung phone with "advanced messaging" enabled and all parties are in a group chat.
Ask the Samsung user to disable the advanced messaging feature under: Messages > MORE > Settings > Advanced Messaging and you should be able to receive group text messages from this person on your pixel.
Seems like something half baked with the carrier or Samsung advanced messaging setup.
I just tested this with my friend and it started to work.

That sounds like it probably would work. I'm sure that turns off the Samsung read receipts and showing when other person typing etc.. On Samsung end. Seriously annoying though lol hopefully they will fix this soon

My friend has galaxy s6 and in group texts I can not see what she puts. Only a tap to download.
Turns out deleting the APN doesn't fix it. I think it has something to do with the advanced messaging that the Samsung phones use. Ask your friend to turn off advanced messaging and see if that helps.

I'm also having the same issue. I have a pixel xl and my friend is using a Galaxy S7 . When we are in a group text together I do not get any of his messages (unless it is an image). I had him download Textra and this fixed the issue, but he doesn't like textra so we are back to square one. I'm going to have him try disabling the "Advanced Text Messaging" in his messaging app to see if this works. This is a very annoying issue.

Phone Troubles

Hiya fellow members. I got a question for you. Recently my sister has had problems sending group texts. I'll send a group text between myself and my 3 siblings . My G Fast will kick my sister from the group chat. When I try to add her back and send a message, the phone will say something along the lines of "The person you are trying to send this message to doesn't have advance messaging." Which is weird because I know for a fact I've enabled advanced messaging on all 4 phones. I got us all the exact same phone and carrier. We are on boost mobile, no contract, and unlimited messaging.
Can you guys help me figure out why my sisters phone won't receive group texts?

Question Group MMS Issues - 6 Pro

Is anyone experiencing issues receiving group messages from iPhone users?
No issue here on my 6 pro or my wife's 6. Could it be a carrier issue for you?
The reason I say that is my wife and I are in a mms group chat with family that has iphones but we're all on the same carrier
No issues on Google Fi, other than the annoying separate message every time someone reacts to a post.

I'm starting to think that this issue was somehow associated with my number. Originally I was on T-Mobile and ported my number to to Xfinity Mobile. Since the port, I've been having strange issues with group MMS messages. I feel like at this point I might have to get a new number.

It could be related, but it could also not be. I don't think it's specific to the device though, tbh.

I put my sim in another phone and I'm still having the same issue
I would try having the sim replaced before I get a new number
And are we talking about a delay or "never comes, not today, not tomorrow and not in a hundred years"?
If it's about the former, is your phone rooted? Do you have any battery saving apps? Did you tinker with any ADB commands?
If the SIM/your phone number itself is the culprit, that should be relatively easy to find out. Just put it into the phone of someone else (they can create a guest account) and see if that works.
I know my family (all iphone users) say that sometimes i (and other Android users) miss some of their texts. I blame Apple
I updated my plan last week and have not received group messages. I was on a chat with Verizon today for like 2 hrs because I ordered a new sim but it wouldn't activate so they activated then after about 45 minutes they were able to get my group messaging working. It seemed like they removed group messaging from my service then added it back and everything has been fine since. Good luck it was driving me crazy for the past 5 days
It's likely an issue with the sender's carrier. Once upon a time I absolutely would not receive any mms from any iPhone on at&t on time. They'd come in days late, and out of order. Made group texts a nightmare.
If you can, get your people to switch to Signal. It's like iMessage, but it works cross platform.

I've tried r mobile, Xfinity Mobile, and now I'm o AT&T. Are you able to get more info on what the steps the rep took?

Thanks. I've tried putting the SIM in another phone and it's the same issue. I'm starting to think something went wrong during the port.

I am not sure but I am still having problems intermittently. I'll get some texts then I may not get a text in between. I am just starting to think the Feb update broke something and hopefully it will be fixed with the march update.
