    Just wondering if anyone knows what might be causing this? I'm with 3 using a galaxy S2 and I believe I've the settings correct but and time I get a picture sent to me it says it can't download. It worked just using the data with the picture been sent from an S3 on the same network but I'm trying to open a few pictures sent from an iPhone on another network and they won't download. I'd the same problem with pictures sent from a windows phone a while ago

    Just use email, mms is a terribly expensive ancient technology, email is free.

    Are you trying to open the MMS on wifi? I had a similiar issue with my Samsung. Switch off Wifi and switch on mobile data and see if this works for you (works for me every time - I can't get MMS on wifi only with mobile data switched on).

    No I tried it on both. I think MMS will only open using a data connection but they won't open even using this. I think it might have something to do with the size if the files I was sent and maybe they are too big to open or something. The pictures I was sent using the android opened without a problem so I think it might have something to do with iPhone/windows .

    I would use email myself but they were sent to me as oppose me sending them myself.
