Re: I can't save pictures from text messages

"I can't" doesn't give us much to go on to help you. What happens when you tell the phone to save the picture?

Have you checked your phone's APN MMS settings against those of your carrier (which you can google with carriername apn)? If they're wrong, all you'll get is the little "broken picture" icon.
