Since being with public mobile, I have not been able to receive pics by texts even though my plan included international text with picture messaging. Does cellular data need to be turned on for it? I have tried everything and still can not receive pictures by text, it is an endless "message downloading" but nothing happens. Thanks!
Yes. Cell data needs to be on regardless of paid data in your services.
Can you browse the internet?
If not then find your phone on this list:
Officially Recognized APN Reference
If your phone isn't there maybe these might work:
APN Settings:
Name: Mobile Internet
APN: sp.mb.com
Proxy: Not set
Port: Not set
Username: Not set
Password: Not set
Server: Not set
MMSC: http://aliasredirect.net/proxy/mb/mmsc
MMS proxy: 74.49.0.18
MMS port: 80
MCC: 302
MNC: 220
Authentication type: Not set
APN type: default,mms,agps,supl,fota,hipri,dun
APN protocol: IPv4
APN roaming protocol: IPv4
APN enable/disable: APN enabled
Bearer: Unspecified
MVNO type: GID
MVNO value: 4D4F
although you don't need a data plan in order for it to work
