I have the same problem with an ATT phone. I had to download a messaging app in order to send or receive pictures. Very frustrating. Also, my phone won't vibrate when I get a call or text. It's either on loud or silent.

I was using this phone with tmobile. Initially there is data no settings available for this phone. Then I configured manually and it was working good.

I still continue to have this problem. I have my phone on straight talk service however I still can't receive picture msgs. I can send but not receive. Does anyone have the answer to this conundrum?

I'm using this phone with Straight Talk (on AT&T; network) and the phone functions, but I'm not getting an LTE connection (only HSPA). Working to resolve the issue.

Yes, just call straight talk and get the correct APN settings. I also have the Att sim card from straight talk.

My phone was set up for t-mobil when I got it but net10 gladly sent me a new sim card for att for free. It took a little bit of work to get to a solution to the problems ( weak signal etc) and it took 5 business days to get the new card. The spotty service was frustrating but I have the new card and it works great.

I live in the US and had the same problem. I have AT&Tand they told me it is because the phone is not assigned to a specific carrier. So there is no guarantee your data plan will work with an unlocked phone. They told me to call Samsung which got me no where. Samsung told me to call AT&T and they were able to fix it.

this is a basic android phone. like the first one that ever came out the only difference is that now it's made big and fancy. so I would say no. I had t mobile and I couldn't get pic messages either.

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

We did get it unlocked and T-Mobile transferred our data for us. After a few months, it has locked up about 3 times and won't work until the battery dies and it reboots. It is an AT&T; phone, but AT&T; they won't look at a T-Mobile account phone, so we are not sure how to get that fixed.

I have deleted a message right away. I can't say if that always works that way as i have run into a lot of problems with the phone and very disappointed in it. AT&T will not honor their warranty if brought from Amazon. The portable phone does not work at all now. But, i have deleted a message right away.

It may not work properly, I have straight talk and it was extremely hard setting up MMS and text. I did learn to use the second sim slot and the battery will last longer however you can not receive any pics thru text. I would not recomend getting this phone, it does not work corectly with any pay as you go plans.

Att is on gsm network. If tmobile is on gsm network then yes this phone will work with tmobile. Yes this phone can send text, pics, and video, assuming you have MMS messaging enabled with your wireless provider. Yes it makes phone calls

No Jin, until now, I was unable to unlock the 3G from ATT. I live in Brazil and Im using an external 3G modem to connect. I hope I can find a way to unlock it, Samsung said it is not up to them, ATT said they do not unlock tablets, only mobile phones. I wasn't aware of that...

Yes. I have TMobile I used it for a while, but the application are all in AT&T; and youcan't receive picture messages. I would not buy it unless all you are going to do is text. I went back to a TMobile phone.

don't know, i have t-mobile, but mine being unlocked i could put anything on. don't like the phone that much, for some reason it eats up battery, plus it won't send photos, plus it won't receive multiple recipient texts.

I had a similar situation with that phone. The guy at the independent cell phone store unlocked it and added a t-mobile line to the phone. At that time, the phone worked on voice calls and text. However, the picture messages did not work. That was not the major problem.......That phone was unable to connect to the internet. Therefore, it tried to connect the entire time it was powered on. Draining the battery in minutes and overheating when I charge the battery.Please be sure ALL of the functions are working properly before you leave the store!

Even though it says it's an AT&T; phone, it was unlocked as described. It works perfectly on T-Mobile for me. You may have to program the T-Mobile data settings, but it automatically found them and was listed in the list of APN's after asking it to auto-search for networks. If you do have to do it manually, just go to the T-Mobile site and the instruction are right there under support. Hope this helps.
