I cant recieve pictures on my g1 nor send!

There are a couple things we need to look into:

1. Do you have a data plan active and data transfer is turned on?
2. Does the phone have set up and the correct network APN's

The 2nd step is information that's provided by the carrier
If you share with us which is the phone model I can give you more info.

For sending MMS you have to call your service provider

Many networks require you to try to send 2 pciture meessages to yourself before you can recieve them. Secondly, make sure you are not roaming, have a good signal, and a data icon is dispalyed in the notification bar. This will look like a G, or E, or 3G with two arrows (one up, one down). If your roaming, or never see a data icon, you may not be able to download the messages until you go to an area with better reception.

you either need wifi or a data plan to receive pictures

i have the same problem but i cant send or recieve pictures,audio files,ect. and also i constantly have a message icon that will not go away

In the Market there is a program called "Save MMS" - that should assist.

yes

the only reason i would see why you cant recieve images would have to be because your plan does not support it, what company are you using? i have one and it works fine, now i know even if you have a plan that supports sending and recieving images then some companys wont let you send images to other companys. find out if you have sending images and ifso i will try my best to help you further.

Before Sending or receiving any pictures Turn On your Bluetooth & if possible click on Find Me on your BlueTooth Menu on the phone. Then Try...

Call ALLTEL for the SERVICE Number. You accidentally erase it. This uses to send/receive msg maybe the Picture/Video too. Try boot-up ur Phone. Goodluck
