problem receiving MMS messages from iPhone users

[beeztrain]

The last couple months I've been having alot of MMS messages that fail to come through. The hitch is that it's only from people with iPhones. Service doesn't seem to matter as I've experienced it from all different carriers including my own. Anyone having this problem or know what could be causing it?

Hi there. Did you have an iPhone yourself at some point? This problem commonly occurs when someone switches from iMessage to an Android device without first de-registering with iMessage.

If you're 100% sure you de-registered with iMessage have your friend delete the existing conversation in iMessage and then start a new one. It may be that their iPhone still thinks you have an iPhone.

No, I've never owned an iphone

Thanks Tim. No luck yet. On another note is anyone having problems with Facebook? I'm constantly having to close and restart the app. Like it will work fine, I'll go away from it for a while and when I go back nothing will load and I'll get the can't connect error message. Going in and out of airplane mode or closing the app and restarting it seems to be the only thing that works. I have full LTE signal the whole time.
