Cant send pics

No settings to see a pic in a text. Maybe he tried to send a pic with it but His phone failed to send it. I would suggest you have someone else send a pic in a message to you and see if it works.

This model not the best for doing & receiving pictures or texts. But I sometimes have issue above if someone has sent a message or a picture to me as part of a group message. I seem to have less issues if they send it to just me directly. Next time someone sends you one, text them back & ask them to send you pic/message seperately, not within a group & see if that helps

first look that your pic is in pic form or image form

for pic form go to the message sending option

for image (photo) form activate the mms setting
and try sending message

Well I have the same phone. And when someone sent me a picture it also sent me the password. So on your pic/video message inbox check and see if it says your password. Or maybe on your webalert inbox. Mine's been sent away for services at this time so I can't tell you exactly what to do. But hopefully this helps.

When you receive the message with id and password, it usually means that either your phone is not multimedia messaging compatible or your account is not provisioned with the actual multimedia messaging feature itself.
If unable to send or receive a picture message (MMS), troubleshoot accordingly:

1. Attempt to connect to MEdia Net on the device. Connectivity to MEdia Net confirms the device has enough signal strength and GPRS availability to send and receive MMS.
2. Verify MMS is being sent to an AT&T subscriber. If MMS message is being sent to someone other then an AT&T wireless services subscriber, verify that the carrier is supported.
3. Picture messaging settings are pre-configured on all devices purchased from AT&T. If the settings have been altered or if the device was not purchased from AT&T, validate picture message settings are properly configured.
4. Attempt to send an MMS again.
5. If further assistance is required, please contact Customer Care.

If problems occur, please perform the following troubleshooting steps:

1. Verify device has signal strength.
2. Check for a GPRS attach on the device.
3. Verify the browser settings are correct.
4. Clear the browser cache.
5. Power cycle the device (turn off and back on).
6. Attempt to access MEdia Net again.
7. If unable to access a particular MEdia Net site, check to see if the site is supported by AT&T.
8. If problem persists, please contact AT&T Customer Service for wireless customers.

error 256 is when youve tried too many times with the same p/w.. call in to TECHS and have them reset the account and give you the proper p/w...

i dont do this for a living.... whatchu talkin bout?

I think what has happened is that someone sent you a pic and because you have not got it opperating on your service the provider has automatically generated a message telling you there was an attempt.
If you check with your provider I would guess that 8211 is an automatic provider code.
nothing to worry about and no need to respond

these setting are normally supplied by the provider.
You will need to contact them again and ask them to send you the WAP and GPRS settings.
These will come as 2 separate txt messages.
open each message and the phone should promt you to save the message.
save each message.
then go to your browser settings and set your provider as the default or prefered setting.( this should get internet working )
for the pics you will need to send a pic to yourself first to activate the settings between the phone and the network

Yes you will need to check with your provider if you have MMS available if not ask them to send you the settings or turn it on for you.
Once you have recieved the settings save them to your phone,turn your phone off then on and send a pic to yourself as this will then activate the settings between your phone and the provider

do a master reset of the phone
