My picture messages won't send. it says Service not activated on Network. How do I fix this

[AC Question]

Can't send pictures messages. Setting already set to SMS messaging

 

[Tim1954]

Pictures are MMS not sms.. contact your network and get them to enable mms for your service.

Try sending smaller messages, you will have no further problems. It has happened to me several times, sending messages with less content go through no problem

I doubt sending smaller pics would matter, if the OP was getting a "Service Not Activated On Network" error. That's an issue that should be discussed with the carrier.

By the way, this is a 3 year old thread ...
