How do I open media in a text?

[Windows Central Question]

how do I open media in a text?

Someone sent me a text with a photo, when I click on "get media content now" nothing happens, or so it seems.

I believe that is MMS, not SMS. Why don't you try turning on your cellular data connection, or tinker with your networking settings?

I'll get that when I am in an area with poor cellular coverage. Tap the Get Media Content Now, and eventually, that message will disappear and the MMS message will appear.
