Call your carrier. Some of them handle mms pics this way. At least att and sprint used to if they don't still. I'm not on either of them so I can't tell you how they do it now. But this is more likely than not, a carrier issue and not a problem with your phone.

She sent the pic via MMS from her Storm within the first like 10 mins I had the phone activated and I got it about 5 hours later. I had a couple friends send me pics and I get them right away and the pics were embedded. I dont know what the deal was but I guess its working now. It may have come up that way cuz I had just activated the phone and my VZW 8830 couldnt receive MMS so maybe thats why it showed as a link. If I have more issues I'll post back but I think its good to go now lol
Maybe it was just a bug-a-boo delay from your carrier, or maybe someone just forgot to actually click the right button and activate your phone.
Glad to hear it's working now though. Enjoy your phone.
Well, it happened again from someone that had already sent me a pic before. It said "A Picture or Video Message has been sent to you from an Alltel customer. To see it, go to Multimedia Message Access Your Passcode is: ******" Whats funny is she has AT&T, not Alltel. We texted back and forth a lil and then she sent another pic and it came through embedded in the message. Im totally lost!!
