Why can i not see all my text messages on my Grand Prime?

[AC Question]

Some messages come in but all it says is to download, and then they do not download

Welcome to Android Central! If it tells you to download, that's typically for an MMS message (i.e., multimedia, where there's a photo or video attached, or it's a group text). MMS requires mobile data to be on--is yours on?
