Send pictures via SMS from abroad

I cannot send pictures to another Swisscom cell phone owner from abroad (Germany)? Comments are not a problem but pictures are not transferred, does anyone know why?

I assume you’re talking about MMS because you can’t send pictures via SMS. The data connection must be switched on to transmit MMS. Since you are abroad, data roaming must also be switched on. Otherwise nothing works.

Hello Bomar

Data roaming is switched on but still doesn’t work. Interesting oer Whatsap everything works smoothly.

Greetings and thanks anyway

Do you have an iPhone? If so, deactivate “iMessage” if it is switched on!

Important: this is probably your problem!

If you have switched to a non-Apple mobile phone and are no longer receiving SMS/MMS messages, you may need to sign out of iMessage.

At this point I would like to ask why you send pictures via SMS/MMS and not via Whatsapp…

I also send a lot via SMS and MMS because not every recipient has Whatsap, consciously doesn’t want it or has uninstalled it for various reasons.

However, everyone has SMS and MMS.
