message to a multimedia message.

message. This also changes the Options that appear in this menu.

Note: A multimedia message should only be sent to a phone which can
support the receipt and display of this message type.

Note: If you exit from this View screen, you will need to go to the Messaging ➔ Inbox screen, the Recent Calls screen, or you will need to dial your Voicemail contact to access your messages.

Note: Messages can also be accessed by navigating to your Inbox (Menu ➔ Messaging ➔ Inbox).

change.

hi there,
call the customer service of your service provider ( AT&T,Vodafone,Verizon etc)....they will set up multimedia message services on your sim..your mobile operator will send you sim updates that will refresh the settings ....and then you will get the picture message options
cheers

You are trying to send Multimedia message for which your mobile has not been configured. In order to send multimedia message you have to get settings from your ISP and save it to your cell phone. Kindly contact your ISP for settings.

its becuase you dont have the required settings from your network providor to send MMS,

all you need to do is go onto there website i.e vodafone and search for the settings page then put your mobile number in the box and press send when you get the settings you save or install them, or if your not technically minded you can give a quick call to your network and they will send them in a text message for you.

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

mcu à micro central unit.

try changing your Multimedia Messaging settings...

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.

Ok did some more looking for anyone else the may come here first. Go to ATT site that has a good guide to show you what the correct connection settngs are. Find the guide here.

you will have to call you mobile service provider for assistance with this issue.
