response error, 502 bad gateway, bad response was recived from another proxy server or the destination origin server.
any help would be great

One thing I noticed on Verizon network is that text messages wouldn't download unless I had LTE connectivity. If I was on 3G, no text messages would be downloaded. Of course, I was using a windows phone at the time so it may have something with it.

A regular txt is an SMS and does not require transmission over your data plan. But if it's an 'attachment' like a photo it's a MMS, not SMS, so you have to be on data not wifi to get the attachment. Maybe this is your issue? Make sure you are not on just Wifi and have a 3g/4g signal and try getting the message again. I use Handcent to get MMS sometimes when my stock messenger gets fubar'd on my Gnex. (My Moto X is still being built).

Ah so it's not the wifi causing you to not get the attachment.. What file type is it?

That link isn't working. When I went to the viewmymessage.com page I saw:

Sorry, ViewMyMessage.com is no longer able to be accessed directly.

In order to improve your experience, there are now three ways you can access your messages:

Copy and paste the link on to the address bar on your browser to view your message
Check out the latest AT&T phones here if you are interested in receiving picture and video messages directly on your mobile phone.


Have you always had this issue? Or did you just get the phone, and are new to AT&T? That last sentence makes me think that whatever plan you have, doesn't allow you to get pics and video on your phone. I don't use AT&T so I'm not familiar with this.

yes i just got the phone, been with ATT for years never had this issue in the past

Sounds like the person who sent it is on Sprint. If that's the case good luck ever getting it.

Give Handscent a try. It's got tons of neat features including a widget for quickly viewing texts and a bunch of other things.
