Failed in receiving MMS messages as well as failed sending pictures and text messages

Hello,

I have had this issue for a while.  Picture messages being sent or received most times will not work.  Also text messages fail to send quite a few times and I usually have to resend it to get it to work.   I have called verizon wireless about this before and they just had me do the roaming capability updates and did not fix the issue.  If anyone has some insight into why this happens let me know.

Hello coltrain50411. I can understand your concern with the messages. This issue may be resolved by following the steps below:

 

- Power off the device and remove the battery

- Place the battery back in the device and power on 

- Turned off auto add callback number in settings 

- Dial *228 + Send and choose option 2

 

Try sending a picture message, I hope this works. If the issue persists, please get in contact with us directly.

 

 

Thank you,

Uncheck Call Back number is not an option in Messages.

12 years ago the app might very well have had the option.
