Cellular Phones/Picture Message Moto Q9M

Question
I just got a Motorola Q9M and I was wondering if there is any way to get it to allow picture messageing (MMS). It's Alltel and it was originally, so it has never been flashed.

Answer
If the phone has always been Alltel, then you can easily get MMS messages. All you have to do is make sure that your account is set up to receive them. If it is, then you should be able to get them. There's nothing to code or fix or change. The device is already configured for it. If the device belonged to someone else, then you probably need to set up your own account because it may be set up for that person by default and that is why you aren't receiving them. But that part is very simple. Just go into the MMS area and set up your own account or change the account that is already there. I hope this helps. Thanks. DebiN
