Cannot send or receive picture messages

[jts1212]

I am having what seems to be a common type of problem for straightalk....

When I send picture messages they seem to go through fine on my end, but the recipient never gets them, only the text.

When others send me picture messages, they continuously say downloading.... but that never changes. This is regardless of wifi and or data(3g) being on/off, not that that should matter.

Is this an issue with the phone/android settings or straight talk service? This is my first experience with an MVNO and I am acting as a guinea pig for a good number of people that I know who would gladly leave sprint/verizon/att if I could recommend it. But if the phones can't do what is now a basic feature of any cell phone, I can't hardly recommend it now can I...

I'm also having a similar issue, my connection seems to be fine, I can SEND pictures through MMS, but I can't seem to RECEIVE pictures that are sent to me, I'll try to download the picture and it will just turn into a blank text message.
Any solutions would be great, thanks
