"Failed to download attachment from multimedia message. Try again later." - S9

Hi .. Since probably last week I got the following message keep poping up on my phone out of no where.. like when I am browsing.. when i am on video:

"Failed to download attachment from multimedia message. Try again later."

I search the forum and someone say it has something to do with SMS/MMS.  Some ppl suggests to load money into the account, but mine is auto-debit already.. so, no money might not be an issue?

Someone said moderator has to do something on my account.. but how to engage moderator?  

hope someone can help

thanks

MMS attachment placeholders should become active when clicked. They may be irrecoverable if left pending on network for too long.

@softech , don't worry about paying for data to get MMS.  It uses unmetered data.  But as already mentioned, mobile data needs to be turned on to receive MMS.

@softech  what's the make and model of your phone?  Thanks. If you are browsing the internet, while getting the message, then your data is turned on. Try adding mms to this APN setting

APN type: default,mms,agps,supl,fota,hipri,dun and saving it.

Sounds like your phone has received an MMS. The phone needs to be in cell data mode to receive it though. Make sure your OS and app updates are set to not update when in cell data and then turn on your cell data and the MMS should come down.
