I contacted Verizon and they referred me to contact Apple.

Call them back and speak to someone higher up, MMS is not an Apple feature.

If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

So after a while, this fix worked for me. Might give it a try.


Log in to your Verizon account. Select "Account" at the top of the screen-"My Plan"-"Blocks." After selecting the appropriate line, select "block services"- then toggle on "block picture and video messaging." After saving, wait a minute or two then toggle it back to off. After everything saves, a phone restart may or may not be necessary.


This is after you verify that MMS Messaging and Group Messaging are toggled on in your iphone Messages settings.


This seems to reprovision sms/mms without having to call in.
