    I cannot see pics that people send to me via MMS. Is it because they are using a SMS and these phones only utlilize MMS or do I not have something programmed correctly?

    Well are you on the latest OS? If so have you checked the menu in the message? Mostly all images are downloaded easy for me.

    I am not that great with these features but what I meant to say is if someone takes a pic from their phone and sends it to me I can't view that pic. The screen says Slide 1 of 1 but I the only thing I see is a white screen even if I scroll thru it.

    ok

    goto... options\MMS... top line... multimedia reception... set that to ALWAYS
    I go to Options.. then I get two choices, General Options and Spell Check. I select General Options and from there the top line is Display and then a lot of options to toggle up under it but not multilmedia reception.

    I am in Raleigh NC. I had this issue with the first 8350i that I received before having to have it replaced for a different issue.

    Bear with me here, I am a noob with BB.

    OK found it. The multimedia reception was set to Always. So you are saying that is where it should be and by being set to Always I should be able to see what is being sent to me?

    As I was typing I received another msg from a buddy and this time it did show the pic. I did have to push it to download the attachment however. You would think that it would do that automatically.

    Piture size also has a lot to do with it....some reason we(8350i users) can only receive a certain size object but can send a larger one out. Don;t know why that is but it is what it is.

    I have the same issues on my 8350i. I open the menu and hit "retrieve now" and an error comes up "cannot retrieve file" ONLY with pic messages. I think it may be because I am on the Enterprise server. Questions, comments, feedback>>>
