Why can't my phone retrieve messages that I receive in text message mode???????????????????

[AC Question]

My LGMS323 android does not receive downloadable text messages that are sent to it. What should I Di
O to retrieve them before message expires?

I always have the "Auto retrieve MMS" checked in hangouts (my SMS app). I'm not sure if that will help download the old messages though.

EDIT:Also make sure that you have mobile data turned on. If you don't, you won't receive MMS, only SMS.
