I have an iPhone 4S with TMobile. For some reason I am unable to send pictures through text message to other people. Strangely enough, I can send pictures to myself through text with the picture being delivered. But no luck with other people.

Does anyone know why this is happening? And does anyone know how I can quickly resolve this problem?

I guess it would be important to mention that I own an unlocked iphone with TMobile.

If you need the correct APN settings, let us know. It does take a while to send. Ive been getting 3G a lot more now. Not consistently, but its finally showing up near my job. Sending an mms message does take awhile on edge. At least a few minutes.
