I am trying to send a MMS (ringtones) to my phone via email to the phone from my PC. I did this with no problems a few weeks ago. Now for 2 days in a row, I get the text on the phone.....then hit the "Allow" choice and then I get this message.
"Someone sent you a message but it can't be retrieved right now"
I do not have a block on: Block Premium Messaging or Block Picture and Video Messaging
Every other block is set to on though.
Do I have to unblock the "Block All Data Services" too? I do not recall if I had this blocked when I first sent the ringtones to the phone as a MMS text.

Ok I finally figured out why I could only get basic texts.....
I had blocked all data setting in the hidden menu of my Kin TwoM phone settings. OOPS....notti me.
This definitely worked well to keep any data fees off my bill, but I will now watch to make sure my blocks I set on my online plan settings, keep the data fees off with this hidden block feature off.

I took my Data block off.......and I still have the same problem. I guess Verizon has a text network problem going on now?

How large is the ringtone? Files larger than 500kb may not go through, and I would recommend less than 400 kb just to be safe.
If that isn't the issue, it may be a network problem - try *228 option 1, let the phone reset, and see if that improves things?

I sent the last one and it is only 4 ringtones that are a total size of only 139KB.
Now I have put a block on all except the Pic and Vid texting one. I will try again after a #228 and see what happens.
