att... mms (picture texts) won't send 90% of the time

[here4kids]

using att... mms (picture texts) won't send 90% of the time. I have tried wifi both on and off, data on / off and even turning airplane mode on/off which I saw somewhere. it is so frustrating watching the circle spin and not send. anyone have a fix for this?

AT&T had a maximum limit of 300K,so if your photo's bigger, it won't send.

I don't see how that was stupid answer, but ok. 595k is max for mms messages over the AT&T network. If you want to send bigger than that, you will have to use 3rd party software to do so. Dropbox will let you share bigger files, but the file itself isn't sent. A link to the file is , and the person is able to view it there without any problems. Box, or Google Drive will do the same. Some people I think use Youtube to share bigger video files, but I've never used it. If the pic isn't sending make sure your APN settings are correct. I tried once using different manual APN for testing purpose, and found out that was my issue of not sending MMS. Maybe that helps. No need for nasty replies is all.

Instead of a nasty reply, why don't you re-size the picture(s), and see if that works. Most of the contributors here, have zero tolerance to b.s.

Also MMS requires Data not Wi-Fi. If you are in a weak or no 4G area it may not send.
