Question
I have a Palm Centro, unlocked, which I am using with Consumer Cellular. I can send text messages but I can't send attached pictures. Are there any settings I can adjust to correct this?
Thanks for your help.
Whenever you use a SIM unlocked device that was not previously set up for your specific wireless carrier, the settings for MMS and WAP (Internet) have to be put into the phone before you will be able to do anything related to the internet (picture messages - MMS - use the internet. Text messages use the voice network). You would need to contact Consumer Cellular to ask them what those settings are and where to program them. Each carrier has completely different settings. Hope this helps.
