You need to ensure your handset is setup for Picture Messaging / MMS

Text the word "active" to 2020, save the settings that get returned and reboot phone.

You also need to have mobile data turned on in the phone settings.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

Pixel 7a (O2 & Lyca), One Plus 6 (Sfr), iPhone 12 Pro Max (Vodafone)
