Hi guys, I have a galaxy s3 for T-mobile and its running 4.1.1. I am not able to send MMS texts anymore (i was able to for a while). My plan is 1000min talk + unlimited messaging (its a family plan with 2 lines). I also have pay per mb for data.

How do I get my phone to send mms? I have tried to turn on mobile data but it still doesnt work. The toggle for mobile data is also missing in the notification panel. Any ideas?

 

Also do you guys know any apps that send mms to phone numbers through wifi (for an alternative)? Thanks

Google hangouts can act as a replacement for the built in messaging system.

but you can't send an picture for example or have a group chat with phone numbers, you need to use gmail accounts.  :mellow:

My Hangouts replaced my normal text sending and I can send normal pictures through SMS with it

i dont know if it will work for what your doing but razer comms is a good alternative to text and calls.and as for the first problem maby call your service provider

I  have GameServer`s And VOIP servers the only price is that you have fun on them.
