I had my data turned off for a while to save battery so unsure if I received any new texts. I am fairly certain that MMS runs on data, not 100% on SMS.
MMS yes, SMS no.
Mms uses data, but the carrier's texting plan will provision the appropriate settings on their end so that you are not charged for them. This applies if the texting feature on your carrier includes mms.

Is it possible to prevent the phone from turning a sms larger than 3 singles into a mms ? Im asking because i dont use data plans on my phone that much, and i know that most phones today are able to send a sms that is containing up to 7 sms's to another phone without turning it into a mms, and therefore needing gprs transmissions...
I have prepaid $15/month unlimited texts with tmobile. This also allows for unlimited picture, video messages, and more important unlimited IM(msn) and Email. As they count as Texts instead of data.
On my previous phone this works fine (moto zn5) There's an app for email/IM and if you go through that app everything counts as a text. This is very important to me because some close friends live in south america and can only enter online for 5-15mins of a day to chat via msn.
However on the TP2 I can't get it to work via texts, it always wants to try through data. Which I have no data plan at all.
It's worth noting that I have a CDMA USCC Version of the TP2. Sharkies 5.1 rom, which gives you tmobile provision. Is there a special app available that allows the messages to be sent via text as it can be on the other phones?
Thanks for any help you can give.
I used to use CM10.2 but since flashing to PA (full wipe) I can't receive MMS automatically. I like to keep my data turned off unless I'm using it and if I receive an MMS I get a blank notification and the MMS does not download. I then get a wake lock until I send an MMS with data turned on, then the incoming MMS will download.
This did not happen in CM, I could keep data switched off and MMS messages would be retrieved automatically and vice versa when sending. My APN settings are exactly the same and have not changed between ROMs.
Does anyone know of a fix for this?

Hello Everyone,
I'm currently running on a Sprint LG G2 with all of the current profile and PRL updates through Sprint. Since activating this phone, I haven't been able to send or receive MMS, specifically picture, messages. Is anyone else seeing this kind of behavior on Sprint?
Side Note
As a side note, I've noticed this is more prominent when using Google Hangout as the default MMS messaging client. When I switched to the factory "messaging" program, I was able to send photos, but still not receive. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the quick response Steamer! Can the edits you described in that post be performed without rooting the phone? Any rough walk-through/tutorials available to assist in the editing?
My problem is a little bit different.. I can send and receive MMS IF I enable the data plan. If data plan is disable..MMS cant send or receive anything.
Arent MMS supposed to connect to data automatically without us have to manually enable it (data)?
I recently purchased an axon 7. Everything works perfect except my ability to send MMS and SMS messages. I am on a regional carrier named cellcom out of Wisconsin. They are CDMA and share 4g towers with Verizon. I have tried several messaging apps and none have worked. I have no problem receiving MMS and SMS messages just can not send them. Any advice would be great!
Try manually adding in your carrier's APN settings.
Manually enter apn
I copies the APN settings from another phone on my plan and that's when I was able to start receiving MMS but when I try to send it just says service not activated on network
Talk to CellCom about it - a lot of people have been having problems getting the CDMA services to work on this phone. I would only recommend this phone for GSM service
Cellcom gave me the old if we don't sell the phone it won't work on our network. Everything works perfect except sending MMS. Honestly I can live without it if I have too.

hi,just wandering if it's A2017U or A2017G?
Try a different app. I recommend trying Textra.
I know on B18 or whatever came on the phone originally had issues. Supposedly they fixed their messaging app later on B20 but i haven't used since i bought the phone. Have it disabled.

I'm having a similar issue on T-Mobile using Chomp SMS but only with MMS
I had the same issues with AT&T. I solved the issue by using Textra and changing this option.....
Settings > MMS > MMS Behavior = System
If that is the option you have set, change it to Legacy.
Hope that helps.
I had a similar problem - I contacted ZTE France who advised me on (new) APN settings and to ensure that Hangouts wasn't my default messaging app.
I updated the APN and switch away from Hangouts and can now send & receive MMS messages.
I then went back to Hangouts - and no longer able to send ... so the APN might have been a red herring (I didn't compare old to new settings - just deleted the old) ... and it was Hangouts all along.
