Unable to receive MMS on Flip Phone

[Barryere]

Hello,

I've been fiddling with my flip phone for about 20-30 minutes it seems and cannot get the thing to receive test pictures. It's not a huge deal, I only wish to use my phone as a phone but the simple fact that I cannot get something to work as intended irks me.

The pictures are side ways, which I did not intend.

MODEL Samsung SGH C414

You need to enable the data on your flip phone first in order to send and receive picture MMS.  I got an Alcatel Go Flip for my mother to use with PM $10 50/50 plan.  The APN was setup automatically after installing PM SIM card and after phone restart.

You need to be in data mode whether or not you have data in your services.

Then:

Find your phone on this list:

You need to make sure data is turned on by going to the Connectivity settings menu. In Idle mode, press OK, select Settings, the select Connectivity. You should be able to make various changes from there, including turning on data. 

As for the APN settings not sure for that phone do you have Data included as part of your plan? If no, then no need to set that up.
