why can't i receive or send attachments when texting using lg power l22c

My lg power L22c straight talk phone doesn't receive or send attachments such as photos when texting. When I try sending a photo the downloading circle icon just spins. When trying to download a photo from a text message, I click the DOWNLOAD bar and a prompt pops up saying "Unable to download contents"
