Turn on your mobile data. MMS requires data.

Turn on your mobile data. MMS requires data.

They should abandon mobile data for sending and receiving media by text, it would be more cost effective for consumers to get them via WiFi but its not cost effective to the mobile network sector as they make their money this way, for example I pay ?30 ($45) pay as you go for a bundle that gives me free calls and texts to any network and 3.5GB of data leaving nothing in my credit left, in order for me to send/receive mms I have to top up my phone again with ?5 ($12). Its not right your data plan should cover mms but it doesn't.
