Thought I had replied already, but apparently I didn't. I went to Verizon last month and it took two people an hour to figure it out! But they got it fixed. Photo texting and group texting now works. Thanks for all the responses.

This might be too complicated for me. I'm old and not very smart. Is the WIFI password the password for my router? Or something else? I'd need to make sure I have the password before I start fiddling with trying to reset the network. Maybe I should just go to a Verizon store and see if they can...

If my APN settings were wrong, wouldn't I have other problems (other than the text issues)? Carrier is Verizon.

Thanks for the suggestions. Mobile data is turned on. I uninstalled Truecaller and restarted the phone. Checked to make sure Mobile data is still turned on. Still can't receive or send texts with photos.

I have a Samsung 21+ (bought new). Had the same problem on my previous Samsung Note 5. I can't send or receive a text that contains a picture or a group text. I'm not great with technology so I haven't been able to figure out how to fix this. Tried some suggestions I found online, but nothing...

Yes, I'm not particularly concerned about the work email. I only work a couple of hours a month, so I'm not gonna worry about it. Regarding the POP3 issue, I have several email accounts, hosted on 2 different hosting services. (Decades ago, someone told me not to have all of my email accounts...

Yep, all my emails are still on my desktop PC. But they're not on the laptop. 5 months' worth of emails gone, just like on the phones. I checked the sync setting on the laptop, and it's turned off, but it's entirely possible that I turned it AFTER the sync disaster occurred. Unfortunately, I...

I didn't delete the emails. I don't know what sync did with the emails that disappeared. At this point, I'm guessing those emails are gone and unrecoverable. Found the trash, but the only option it offers is "Empty trash now." It only contains 30 days' worth of emails anyway. I was looking for...

Found the sync setting, thanks. It was turned on, which I assume must have been a default setting, because I definitely did not enable it. I disabled it. I guess I just have to kiss my 5 months' worth of missing emails goodbye. I've done a lot of googling, and didn't find anything about...

Boss has no control over the POP3 issue. To clarify, I have to use Microsoft Office for work. My version (including Outlook) is ancient (2007), and I don't know if that has anything to do with the POP3 requirement. Anyway, at this point the work account is the least of my problems. The account...

Well, this is very interesting. When I tap, I do see a second account, but it's my husband's gmail account. When we first got our new phones, he did something weird when he was fiddling with his account. I think he said he logged in on my account. All of his email contacts were added to my own...

I'm using a Gmail app on both phones, and the old phone also has second phone app, but I don't know what it's called. I don't know how to figure it out. The mystery phone app uses POP3 (my boss told me what specifications to use, so I don't have the option of changing it).

I'm using POP3. The work email account won't work any other way. It looks like all of my emails -- important and trivial -- are still on my desktop PC, so I should be able to find whatever emails I need, at least when I'm at home. And for emails I need on my phone (for example, an email with a...

I'm not technologically proficient. I recently got an S21+ and for some reason, one of my email apps did not transfer with the phone vendor. So in my ignorance, I was trying to figure out how to transfer the old app/account from my ancient Note 5. I absolutely did NOT deliberately push any...

Which Spigen do you have? I bought the Rugged Armor. Glad to hear the amFilm works well. Although I haven't had much luck with the fingerprint reader -- I usually make several attempts that don't work, and then just use my PIN.
