Re: Samsung Galaxy Q trouble with picture messages

I just bought a Samsung GT-B3410, and had it unlocked, and have been using it for my internet, and texts etc.  But I am also unable to send or receive picture text messages...Im not sure what I should do, when my interenet wasn't working FIDO gave me the apn address and ip and all that, I don't know if I need to do the same thing for the picture messaging as well>>> HELP...Thank you

Hi there bonjernobella

 

You can't download MMS via a WiFi connection. Turn off WiFi and it should work if your apn settings are properly entered.

Re: Samsung Galaxy Q trouble with picture messages

Other than picture problems.....is the Samsung Galaxy Q a good phone for texting and calling?

Re: Samsung Galaxy Q trouble with picture messages

All you have to do to access MMS services is download and use a different SMS app. The default texting app on the Galaxy Q gets confused by wifi so you'd have to keep it off (and keep data on) all the time to send/receive MMS.
