|  MMS question
Please Login to Remove! I have been trying to send pictures to other people's phones via MMS and every time I try, the phone gives me an error message that the sending failed and people aren't getting the messages. I tried sending them via SMS and, as I expected, people get the messages but without the picture. Does anyone know what I may be doing wrong and if there is any way I can fix this? Thanks! | | Offline

Have you tried a hard reset (remove battery from the device while powered, then reinsert)? Once the hard reset is done highlight the MMS message, press the menu key, then select resend. | | Offline
