opening up picture messages from other providers

I have t mobile as my provider and when I receive picture messaging from my friends that are also with t mobile i have no trouble with opening up the picture it pops right open however when my friends from verizon send me a picture or any other provider besides T mobile  I'm unable to open it up.

I have sent my phone back and just received a new phone just today and I'm still having this problem  . Samsung won't help me they say its my provider however I did some investigating myself before sending back my first phone and took my sim card out and put it into another t mobile phone (not a behold) and had the photo sent again and I had no trouble opening up the photo  it downloaded and opened right up so I know it's not on T mobiles end it's something with the behold.. so I'm just wondering is anyone else having this same problem.. HELP!!

I tried calling verizon and they said they couldn't help me either but what I just don't get is why another t mobile customer can send me a picture message and it opens right up this just makes no sense to me and it's frustrating.. I have to actually save the photo first then go into my photos and then I can open up the photo from my verizon friends to view it that's just ludicrous otherwise all I get is a blank white screen if I try to do it any other way.

Can anyone else test this out that has a behold and let me know if they also have this same issue happening to them. I just want to make sure i'm not going crazy or doing something wrong.

ya my friend with at&t sends pic messages and vids fine but my cousin with verizon sends me a pic but i have to go to more and tap save attachment to look at it

i think it's a verizon only problem with pics 

I got my GF the behold for her birthday. Last night she turned it on, inserted the SIM card and a few things went "wrong" and one of these is recieving picture messages and being able to ACTUALLY see them properly.

I'm on Verizon and use a Voyager. I sent her 3 pic messages and when she recieves them, it's just a blank white screen with a "PLAY" arrow up top and "PAUSE" aswell as "STOP" on the bottom screen. As if it were playing a video instead.

But here's what confuses me, if she forwards that message . . . the message actually shows the picture in the new forward outgoing text as she's typing (but a lot smaller).

Why? I checked settings for "recieving pic messages" but nothing seems to do the trick.

I saved "attachment" but when I went to "my pics" it wasnt there.


Any and all help would be appreciated.



What's even worse, is she sent me a pic message and I never recieved it. At all. Last night and I'm yet to recieve it. 

No offense taken. I know, but it's just frustrating. And yes, I know I'm not the only one . . . just annoying how now I can't receive picture messages from her because I'm on Verizon.



Thanks though.

^I don't know exactly what you mean, but I'm guessing that after she recieves a pic message . . .go to forward, then when I see the pic click/though the pic in the box of outgoing message and a menus should pop up that says "view" or something?

lol if you want to know about the latest thats happening at your school go out and do it yourself dont wait for someone to text you
