[Q] Attached Images not showing via texts?

---

So i've had a few people send me pictures over text, but they won't show up and I have no way of viewing them. It shows a "Download" button next to the text, but when I click it, it says "Downloading" and doesn't ever show me the image. It just says "Download of Attachment from xxxx was unsuccessful".

I found some related posts on others having problems getting attached images while connected to WIFI on their Epic 4G's, but turning WIFI off does nothing as well.

Any thoughts on why I can't receive/view attached pictures?

I was playing around with it a bit and found that I can send myself an attached image and it works fine. But when my wife sends to me, it doesn't work. She's also on an Inspire 4G.

not being able to send pics.

My problem is that I am not able to send any pics but I can receive them just fine. What can I do?

you could start off by not waking an old thread. search around for MMS fix for whatever rom you are running (which is kinda step3, tell people what you have)

Having mobile data on is required to download mms

Pictures are mms messages so in order to download and open phone needs data to be on whether your on Wi-Fi or not. mms works on data only and pics are mms.
You can check your apn settings if data is on and still don't work.
