Hello all,

 

I recently purchased an unlocked S10. The only issue I seem to have at this time is with sending MMS messages through the native app on the phone. When I use a third party app everything works fine. The problem is that I REALLY like the new native app and all of the features associated with it so I'm eager to find a resolution to my problem.

 

I have literally tried everything. Anything I try to send a picture/gif or anything of the sort I get an error back reading "invalid address entered". I am now at a loss! Currently, I am using Google's third party messages app.

 

Please help,

 

Thanks!

This is my exact problem, everything was fine till I did the latest update on my galaxy s9 and the only way I can stop it is to restart my phone. I paid $700 for this phone why is it doing  this??

Go to Settings, scroll down to Generak Management, select Reset and then Reset Network Settings. Then reboot. I need to do that everytime I get a Samsung update in order to send or receive MMS.

I am having the same issue on my S9+. It will sometimes work if I reset the network settings but not every time. It is getting a little annoying having to rest my bluetooth and wi-fi multiple times each week just to be able to reply to our family chats.

@userasQNOJCOJQ Have you tried another SIM card in your device?

No, I have a phone from  Straight Talk but it seems this is a Samsung issue not the carrier.

Hello, 

I'm having the exact same issue.  Seems to occur randomly throughout the day.  I have to restart my phone to get messages to send.  Sometimes I have to restart multiple times.  Google messaging app gives no issues but I need to use Samsung messaging for Gear watch.  Any fixes that actually work?

@userZicJdVU0fb To further look into this, Can you send a PM here with your full model number, IMEI and service provider?
