Cannot Send MMS on Flip Phone

[Obice]

Hello folks

Today I switched from my malfunctioning android to my flip phone for calls/texts and to my dismay and otter exasperation I have run into a problem with my flip phone. Just my luck, perhaps.

I tested receiving MMS to my flip phone however my flip phone gives me a "Failed to respond, Try again?" Message upon sending MMS out. My only guess is that MMS works over 4G/LTE and my flip phone only operates on 3G. But then how can it receive and not send? This is annoying.

I paid for it so it would be great to have it work.

Thanks for any help.

Yes, I tried aliasredirect and it caused my phone to restart. I have a spare iPhone might just use it, I just need something to work properly at this point.

Moving your SIM card from phone to phone have you endured that the ... aw gee, can’t remember name now...whatchamacallit list (technical term) APN Settings (thank you @Anonymous ) are set correctly in each phone?

Before what? When?

It's almost certainly APN settings.

@gblackma 

Data IS used for MMS, but it is deducted from your data consumption records. So it has to be fully functional.

Did you try taking the sim card out and putting it back in?

[Obice]

It was working before. That's all I do know.

Make: Samsung, Model: SGH-C414.

@Obice data isn't used to send mms  text messages. The only requirement is that it be enabled.Try menu- settings - applications - messages - multimedia message - message centre mms - select your version and click activate. Restart your phone and send a mms message. Let us know if it works.  Thanks.

If it doesnt, what's the make and model of your phone? Thanks.

It should be working on 3g only
Do you have ways to alert network settings?
What phone do you have?
