Cant download mms text

Re: Cant download mms text (wifi - off, yes)

Thank you for having this posting - YES, turning off the wifi (which I thought would help and save data usage) is the only way I can open MMS. I had 2km & 30km and neither would open just attempt to download and fail. As soon as I turned the wifi off.... walla. Thanks

the person that commented mms messages require connectivity to the paid mobile network is right on! I am running android ics on a galaxy iii and immediately got mms messages to automatically download one i selected the configuration option of ""use packet data" under settings->more settings->mobile networks. Still stinks that iphone users force android users to have billable data minutes consumed to read only their messages. Thanks apple!

thank you king!!!! Exactly what i needed!!!

Hi all
I had the same issues as every one with not being able to send or receive mms.Believe me when i say i tried everything out there to no avail
My solution/problem was a very easy fix (after weeks of trial and error)Go to settings then data usage then turn mobile data on
you should see a graph with your usage.All you do is adjust your data usage to say 9 gig or something high and that is it
What i can gather why this works is because if your data is set at say 2 gig it restricts what can be downloaded ie mms
Good luck i hope this helps
