Just received my Windows 8 928 phone last week and I am unable to send picture messages. At first it said "Can't send message" and now it say's nothing but the picture message is not being sent or received. Please, can anyone help me with an idea or solution to what is wrong. The phone was a gift to my Wife and man is she upset about this!!!

Was the cellular data connection turned on and active?

Call customer service and ask them to reset your text and picture messaging feature from the server side. You will need to call in from a different phone then the one with the issue. Make sure to have them send a test message to your phone and you can send one out and both are successful before disconnecting the call.

Salem1208, we want you to have a happy life with a happy wife! I'm here to help make this happen. Try deleting all unwanted text messaging conversations on her device and power it off/on to soft reset. If she has downloaded any 3rd party text messaging applications, please delete it. Additionally, you will also need to turn off WiFi and connect to our network. I trust that this will resolve your issue. Keep us posted.

I have an HTC 8X and am experiencing the "can't send text msg" error. This began around the time of the recent software update, Aug/Sept. Must be a Window's software issue. Found on another forum that a software patch for issue is being released in a few weeks.

i just got my phone as well. I called customer service and she tried to help, i still could not share pics.  So she suggested i go to the store to get additional help which i didnt want to do, i wanted to play with my New phone. took a bit till i went to this site. I read a few and the first thing i did was shut down and turned phone back on again. Wow it worked.  Too bad we have to find our own resolve issues.

I am also having this problem. After searching online it looks like a LOT of people have this problem, but only with the Verizon-Windows combination and each blame each other. This is extremely irritating. I love the windows phone interface, so I may just switch carriers. What a pain.
