Which phone?
Which version of android?
Which carrier?
Which SMS app?
Have you verified your APN settings?
What is the exact wording of the error message you are getting?

I purchased phone through Metro PCS the cell phone is an Android LG K7 and when I try to send a pic i just get a spinning wheel saying sending but it doesn't send. I leave my phone then get back to it and its still shows a spinning wheel with sending and it just drains my battery. When i receive a pic it says download so i push download button then it says unable to download.

Most carriers have very small size limits of the pics and videos sent by SMS.
How big in bytes is the file?

K7 LG multimedia sent fail

i have a K7. whenever i need to send a message as multimedia (images) the message never gets sent. even if is only text being sent to a group of people.

mobile is always on. i have unlimited text and data.

note this happens when the message gets converted to multimedia even if is only text when sent to a group..
