A buddy just tried sending me a pic phone said unable to download. Does the 35$ a month plan not include picture messaging?

@Trooper666

Is your data turned on? Data needs to be turned on for MMS messaging to work

Does your data work? If your data works, then your APN settings should be working properly.

EDIT: All PM plans with international text includes picture messaging (ie. MMS messaging)

@Trooper666 Does your friend use PM too? Your friend has to turn on data or wifi in order to send MMS.

Make sure you have data can be use on your plan. Otherwise, you need to pay for every SMS with photo download fee.

There is no such thing as a "photo download fee". In addition, MMS data usage doesn't count against your plan's included data, nor do you even need a data plan. As for paying for every SMS, Public Mobile doesn't even have a set pay-per-use fee for that, nor anything else for that matter.

MMS does not send over Wi-Fi.

PM has MMS and it is part of your package. I picked PM since they have MMS and it is not the case with their close competitors. Any way, it is important you have the correct settings in your phone to receive and the sender has correct settings to send MMS. Make sure sender has MMS part there package. Good luck!
