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!

I'm having similar issue on my Note 9. When I use stock messages and try to send MMS it says invalid destination address. But I can use Google Messages and send MMS just fine. Samsung needs to put an update out for Messages fixing this issue.

If your using an unlocked variant are you sure the MMS settings under the apn tab are the correct ones some companies have two apn's one for the internet and one for MMS

Can you tell me what the APN tab is?  i have tried absolutely everything else including 3 hours on verizon's help line, and 45 min with Samsung. Nobody seems to know how to fix this.  I have a s10, unlocked.

Thanks,

Please send a private message with your full model code and IMEI number so I can look into this further. http://bit.ly/2Kq3B5F

I get the same error message.  It began after the last update by Samsung earlier this month.   It seems to happen every day and the only way I can get it to work is by rebooting the phone.

Does this occur with the device in safe mode?

I have the same problem on my s9+.  This will work in safe mode.  I have tried to delete all other texting apps to see what might be interfering but still no luck unless I boot into safe mode.  I will try deleting what's app and FB messenger but these just use internet service so I don't see how they would interfere.  Also I will be super annoyed if I cant have these on my phone. I never had problems until I was forced to use Samsung messenger due to getting the galaxy watch.
