OPPO Find X5 Lite phone not sending photos with texts.

RunrigForever — Thu, 30 Nov 2023 07:40:28 GMT

I cannot seem to send a photo with an text message. This has been happening for some time. Is it something like I may have to join WhatsApp, which I don't really wish to do.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

If you are sending pictures by text (MMS ot Picture Messaging) then there is a charge, so if your spend cap is zero or too low they won't go.

If you don't want to use WhatsApp then Google Chat (Messages) I'd a way forward providing you have it activated, same goes for the receiver.

Because no one can send a photo in a text message, hence TEXT message.

I understand what you have posted.

If you are talking about an occasional photograph, another alternative would be to attach it to an e-mail. You will typically get away with sending four or five photographs attached to one e-mail as e-mail providers typically have an attachment limit of around 10Mb or a little bit more.

@Mark60 There is no need what-so-ever to be SNIDE.

Thank you @Oxonian

I understand what you have said and have offered me an alternative method.

I only have a few friends and family email addresses.

My son sent me a photo of his cat Juno and I wanted to send it to another member of my family ... and ... that's where I have problems.

Now ... if my son can send me a photo via text message - Why can't I ?

I have no compunction in admitting I consider myself somewhat a permanent tech novice ... but ... IT has long since got away from me ..... anyone remember 'Wordperfect' ?

@RunrigForeverI'm a tech novice aswell that's why I come here to ask things as for sending photo's have you got whatssapp? think it might be free to send via that just a thought

Thank you @blissgirl

I have thought of Whatssap ... & ... checked it out ..... however ... I found it wasn't for me ... as ... tbh it seemed a touch too posey for me ... ?

I remember using WordPerfect, Lotus Smart Suite, SuperCalc, Netscape Navigator and many other programs that were ubiquitous before Microsoft ruled the world.

I also remember when the UK mobile networks were Vodaphone and Mercury One2One. It is interesting to read :-

One2One brand name to be dropped as mobile groups brace for price war | The Independent | The Independent

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/one2one-brand-name-to-be-dropped-as-mobile-groups-brace-for-price-war-9260705.html

The bit that caught my eye was :-

"The company will today launch the first tariff scheme in Britain to offer free calls to other mobile networks as part of a new £25-per-month deal".

My thoughts are:

What a Load of Twaddle !

As I only send a few photos .... How do I raise my spend cap to accommodate this please?

Unless you are on the new My O2 you will need to call 202 @RunrigForever

Thank you @jonsie for mentioning this to me ... & ... @MI5 for compiling the guide.

Will call Customer Services between 8 - 8:30am tomorrow morning when I am more 'awake'.

If you don't want to send pictures via Whatsapp, you can do it via FB Messenger. (as long as the person you are sending the picture to also has Messenger.)

@Cleoriff

That's a good idea

I have a close member of my family and a new good friend who use Messenger

I don't send many photos

I only really want to use Facebook and no other social media sites.
