I have this problem once in awhile. It seems to happen when I am included in a group text or picture message. So if someone sends me a picture for example, but at the same time they send it to 3 others & you are included in that group, that's when I have issues. I have told everyone on my contact list, that I know it takes more time & that I am sorry for the inconvenience, but if they have something to send to me, they have to send it to me alone, separately, not in a group text. Try telling your contacts that & it should help.
Data must be enabled on the phone for MMS to function. Also, it's possible that you need to manually configure the APN settings. Your service provider should be able to tell you the correct APN.
Switch the phone off and remove the battery. Leave the battery out for about 5 minutes then replace and switch the phone back on. leave the phone switched on for about another five minutes before attempting to text again. This cured the same problem on the same phone for me.
This model not the best for doing & receiving pictures or texts. But I sometimes have issue above if someone has sent a message or a picture to me as part of a group message. I seem to have less issues if they send it to just me directly. Next time someone sends you one, text them back & ask them to send you pic/message seperately, not within a group & see if that helps
This not the solution to my problem as I have no problem receiving messages, it is in the typing of the text messages. I have to gage where I hit each letter as I cannot get the results I want by hitting the letter straight on. Please address this problem.
I have had this same problem with Straight Talk before.
First, I would call them up because it would appears that sometimes, Straight Talk does not turn on the internet/picture messaging when doing the activations and they go amiss.
If you have wi-fi in your home or, if you are in a wi-fi hotspot, I would try sending a picture when you are own your own wi-fi or in a wi-fi hotspot. To do this, make sure your "Wi-fi" is turned "On" in the settings menu on your phone.
By having the "Wif-fi" turned to the on position, you can also save on your data usage by using your own wi-fi and various hotspots so you are not eating up your own data. I'm always surprised at how many people do not know this.
So check to see that "Wi-fi" is turned on in your settings and, send a picture over your wi-fi or a hotspot wi-fi. If you are able to send a picture over your wi-fi or hotspot wi-fi then you know that it's a problem with their network and at that point, I would cal Straight Talk and tell them that you are unable to send or receive pictures.
