For some reason I haven't been able to recieve a picture message lately. I deleted my whole inbox, some of the pictures I had on there already, all the audio, some of my ringtones and it still doesnt receive them. What could be the problem and how do I solve them?
This likely depends on your carrier. Cingular/AT&T has been notorious for somehow disabling MMS for my device, even though my wireless plan indicates that it should be included. I've spent many hours on the phone with them, and it has invariably come down to a configuration problem on their end (as-if their default config for this phone doesn't realize it's MMS capable).
Generally you should try sending and receiving MMS messages from/to your phone to, ideally, another phone on the same provider. You can also try sending email through your carrier's SMTP/MMS gateway and see if that works. ATT's instructions are in their FAQ for example.

Feb 4, 2014 - MMS sending and receiving pictures no longer working on Nokia Lumia. up vote 2 down vote favorite. In early 2014 I installed "Update 3" (8.0.10517.150) and the "Lumia Black" software ... "Can't send message Try again".
If you want to receive picture messages on your phone, you must activate the MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) on your phone.For this you have to contact your Network Service provider and upon request they will send the settings to your phone via a configuration message.Open and save the message from your inbox.Please note that you will be charged ( depends on different Network Service providers) for using the MMS service on your phone. Hope you are satisfied with my solution.Thanks for choosing Fixya.
CALL YOUR SERVICE PROVIDER ASK THEM TO SEND YOU THE MMS SETTINGS
THE MMS SETTINGS ARE CONTROLLED BY THE PROVIDER ONLY
THEY WILL SEND THE SETTINGS TO YOU AS A TEXT MESSAGE THEN YOU SAVE THEM AND RUN THEM THEN YOU TURN YOUR MOBILE OFF FOR 3 MIN.THEN SWITCH IT ON
THEN THE MMS SERVICE IN YOUR MOBILE NOW IS ACTIVATED
Lately the MMS received on your phone opens in inbox itself as picture, in case your GPRS is not active then you need to visit the given link on a PC and enter the passcode provided in the message.
MMS: Picture Messaging MMS messaging, which stands for multimedia messaging service. Formats that can be embedded within MMS include:

Hello - I use a Nokia 70 so hopefully I can help.
Scroll the centre button down to messages - press once to open. Move down one more setting to UNREAD messages and press again.
This will open ALL messages in you inbox - TXT/SMS + email + MMS.
Find your MMS by scrolling up/down then click the C (cancel) button bottom left on your phone.
This should then ask - Do You Want to Erase this message - click YES.
The second option after you have found the MMS in the inbox is to open it, then press option which is the 'select' key on the left part of the screen.
Press this once and you will have a menu of choices like -- move to / save picture / forward message to / save message on phone card // AND DELETE.
One of these should work if the phone is in good working order on all the other features. - Ray
Looks like you have somehow lost the settings for MMS. Please check the settings. If you reset the phone to factory defaults, you would need to do the settings again for MMS and internet to work.
options > empty inbox (this will empty the entire inbox!!) unless its just one message then you delete that one only!! and and make sure ur in inbox of course!
The phone allocates a certain amount of storage for messages on a whole. Even though there may still show space available for text messages, you have hit an invisible "limit" and the phone is now defaulting to MMS messages because there is "room" there. Delete a fair amount of messages and you should be able to start sending regular text's again.
