Service not activated on network?

[Lisa327]

When I try to send a picture message, a window pops up saying "Service not activated on network". The message fails to send. What does this mean and how do I fix it?

You might want to call customer service at 1-800-922-0204 from a landline or *611 from o

another Verizon phone and have them check your text message feature on your line to verify there isn't a block on it or to reset from their end.

We want you to be able to send picture messages, Lisa327. What kind of phone do you have? Are you having issues with your other services such as Calls, regular Text Messages, and Data?

I solved this by removing a "block" from my account. You can do this by following these steps:

• log in to verizon website
• go to: account-> my plan->blocks
• click on your device
• click on "block services"
• click on "Messaging"
• uncheck "Block picture and Video Messaging"
