Question
ok i just got a new phone its a sprint but it was flashed to cricket but for some reason i can get text messaging but not picture messaging how do i get my phone to send and receive picture messaging?
You will not be able to fix the picture messaging. A phone flashed to Cricket that Cricket doesn't sell and flashed with an image that isn't totally Cricket will not allow you to use it for any type of internet service and MMS is an internet service. There are people who are able to flash phones to other CDMA carriers who have created full images for them, but most companies or people who do this, only do it half way and don't have the ability to fully flash the phones. I never recommend that people get their phones flashed unless the phone is sold by the new carrier, or the company flashing the phone guarnatees that all the features will work because they have full images to flash to. I hope this helps. Thans. DebiN
