Hi bgeorge843,

Oh No! My sincere apologies for the issues that are occuring with your device. I definitely understand how important it is to have access to your MMS. I can certainly help you gain this availability. First, let's validate a few settings. On the home screen please select Settings>Messages>MMS Messaging>On. Are you able to send MMS messages to alternative devices? When did this begin? Please share details, thanks!

Dear bgeorge843,


Good afternoon. Thank you so much for trying the troubleshooting steps provided. Let's try other options in troubleshooting.

First lets reset your network settings. For directions on how to reset your network settings click http://vz.to/19OMzKU . I also noticed you mention you have no problems sending pictures to iPhones. Also, are you the account owner? Have you verified there are no blocks on your account that may restrict you from sending picture messages? We look forward to hearing from you.

Thank You,

Oh no sinetrogue!

We definitely can't have you missing those precious moments! Were you able to try the above steps to attempt to resolve? This would include turning on MMS via Settings>Messages>MMS Messaging>On as well as resetting your network settings here: http://vz.to/19OMzKU

What were the results? Are you able to send pictures? How are your text and iMessages?

Thanks!
