Can't download MMS messages

[alison2512]

Hi everyone, I need your help again please.  A pal has sent me a picture message and when I tap 'download' it tries for a while then gives up. I have the internet set up and it works fine. Can I do anything so I can recieve MMS ? 

Thanks in anticipation !

Have you tried using the stock messaging app to open it?

I had the same problem using a third party app, but it worked fine with the stock app. And from then on it opened on other messaging apps too.

May be coincidence, but give it a go.

Try restarting your phone. Also ensure there is enough memory to save the download

You need to ensure you have the correct settings, has it been working in the past on GG ? If not then that will be the reason,
