It keeps switching itself off

You may have multimedia messages turned off by your carrier, so they would block all in and put multimedia messages. You could try calling them and ask them to check your settings.

May be your phone is not capable for MMS. You can use this company services for sending and receiving MMS.

If you can received mms, but cant able to retrieve it. Go to message setting, select multimedia settings and select the MULTIMEDIA RETRIEVAL, select ALWAYS AUTOMATIC. thanks

hi, i had the same problem... what i did was configured the settings from multimedia messages but it deepens on what is your provider of you services like me i have it with t-mobile so if you have it wit t-mobile i can give u the right settings for that.... my email is [email protected]

The MMS delivery process is triggered by a special SMS message called the "MMS Notification". The "MMS Notification" contains a URL pointer back to the full content of the MMS message. So when the receiving phone gets the MMS Notification, it must connect to the URL in the notification in order to retrieve the actual message content.
The error that you include above looks like the URL cannot be fetched.
If it worked before, but it does not work now ... then it is possible that something has changed with regard to your firewall or network configuration. The receiving device needs to actually connect back to host server in order to retrieve the MMS content.
It is also possible that something has changed in the configuration at your mobile operator. Hope it will be helpful to you.

You must enter the settings for your carriers MMS server, call your carrier and ask what they are and if you're nice they will help by sending them to your phone so you don't have to enter them yourself!

simply get ur phone to be flashed its a process of resseting th mcu

mcu à micro central unit.

i have the same problem. although before that i had a multimedia plan and was able to send and receive pictures but now i just have unlimited texting. no multimedia plan.

This could be causedby a number of reasons:

1) You do not have enough free memory on your phone (to check your memory status go to Gallery, open a file, click OPTIONS and select Memory Status)

2) Go to MESSAGING, MESSAGE SETTINGS, MULTIMEDIA MESSAGES, ALLOW MULTIMEDIA RECEPTION (Set to YES), and set INCOMING MULTIM. MSGS to RETRIEVE.
