sending photo attachments

I keep getting the message "network does not support MMS" when I try and attach a photo to my text message. I've tried switching 'Mobile Data - on" but still can't send photos. What am I doing wrong?

Or you could go to settings and see if you can provision MMS, then you can send via text

Hi @Niloc - be aware that, in many cases, O2 charge for MMS (something around 60p per MMS, from memory).

Other providers may not charge, or may charge differently.

E-mail, if you have a data plan, and messaging apps like WhatsApp, use your data allowance, and are effectively zero-cost.

Good Luck!

@Niloc

Text the word "ACTIVE" to 2020 then save the settings that get sent back to you.

Reboot your phone and try again.

@Niloc Best way to attach a photo to a text is to send it using WhatsApp over WiFi. Total cost = £0.00
