Why can't I send photos through text messaging and why can I not pick up wifi anywhere I go?

Hi, I am not sure about texting photos, however, Wifi must meet two conditions: 1) you must be somewhere that has Wifi, for instance Starbucks and you will usually have to sign in whether that be Barnes and Noble or other Wifi place; 2) you must have Wifi turned on on your telephone. Go to settings and look at WLAN on some phones and SIM management on others. Identify a source and log on. Some commercial sites just want you to click on terms and conditions and off you go. Home Wifi and many others require you to create a log on ID. Also many places like some airports require you to pay for a Wifi connection. Have fun and best wishes.

The messaging is based on your plan and not the phone.. Wifi you have to go to settings and turn the WLAN on..

Most services work. I did find that SMS images would not be received with the standard message app. Nor did it receive any android updates.I rooted mine, set s-off, and installed lollipop and it works like a dream!

No WIFI. You need to buy a SIM card from AT&T;, T-Mobile or other GSM provider. (No data required, just un-limited texting) You cannot call this camera, but you can send a text message and it will respond with an instant picture. The camera can also be programmed to automatically send you a picture every time motion is detected.

Good afternoon, I read the description on this item and there no information that say you can transfer images to the computer via wifi! Should you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us .

I think it originally was with At&T.; My T mobile sim card worked fine, but I was unable to receive or send Pictures. I called t-mobile and they did something from their end. Now everything with T-mobile works fine. Gary

No you will not be able to send pic messages other than that it's a great phone...

thank you! I got this phone for my sons for Christmas. I don't plan on adding a data plan to their account, but there is wifi available everywhere they go: home, school, grandma's, friends', etc. Let me clarify something though: If there is no wifi available, will they still be able to talk and text? (that is all they need it for outside of wifi)

That's not a good choice, I'm having a lot of troubles with my internet and of course I cannot receive or send any picture (media text), I'm not happy with it!

Sorry to say no, Danger (sidekick server) is no longer in service so web browsing is not supported therefore no picture messaging, Currently Phone calls and Text messaging will still be supported,

As far as I know, it is not capable of text messaging. Do not know what would be needed to do so or even if it can be adapted.

Check your phone's wi-fi settings to ensure connectivity to the modem and also make sure your messaging settings are set for wi-fi default when linked to your home modem. Hope this helps.

If you are near wifi, you can send pictures from your camera to someone's email. You can also send the same pic to more than one person at a time. You can not send written messages or receive messages.

No, it does not have WiFi, you still need to transfer images via cable or memory card

The other answer is very informative. When I had this phone, I had unlimited and I could receive group texts and photo texts. I had unlimited text, talk, and internet for about $10 but it was through ATT. Also, my phone only took ok pictures. They weren't exactly the best.

I have the same problem. I do not think it is phone's fault. I believe there are some settings that need to be tweaked in the phone to be able to send/receive pictures. Try contacting ATT thru chat window (do not call) for support. I haven't done so because I dont have time and they only work from 8AM to 7PM but they should be able to help
