MMS/Picture and video messaging

You must originate a picture message to set up your Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card on the network for picture messaging. You will not be able to receive a picture message until you have sent one.
When sending a picture message to another phone, that phone must be able to receive the picture message. If the phone cannot receive the picture message, then it will display a text message directing the user to log in to the My Album site to view the picture.
