Not getting any third party texts!

Ok so I am trying to get my Skyfire confirmation text but it will not send! I had a friend do it and it sent fine for her ... She is on quest... I also got someone from US Cellular to do it also.. I also cannot get my AOL messages forwarded (I have internet so this isnt that big a problem but sometimes i want to use it)
My friend who has T-Mobile tried and he didnt get it either... We called up T-Mobile and we could not understand a word the guy said ... It was incredibly unhelpful.. Anyways I need some help lol.. Sprint is not really any help either.. I emailed them and I will see what they say
My whole account cant receive the text either..
Thanks for any help.. I usually can get stuff worked out on my phones but this time I am stumped..
Thanks again
u have to explain in more detail what you tried to do.

Picture Messaging On The Touch

im sure that there might be a thread for this already ..... but ive been lazy and i havent asked sprint about it ... but is the touch capable of mobile to mobile picture messaging .. everytime i wanna send a pic the selctions i get are only able to send to email... i cant select to send to a contact... is it jus cuz i cant figure it out or is the touch incapable of mobile to mobile pix messaging
mms is not yet available on sprint. in the future, you can use the search button located on the top right of this page.
there is, but since you're lazy about it maybe you should try kngtut79's advice and try searching.
you can use dashwire. I am on Bell CDMA in Canada and it allows you to send a sms to your contacts as a link to the picture which is the closest I have come to so far. Hope that helps www.dashwire.com

Not without data

Verizon MMS requires data usage to send or recieve pictures and video. I am specifically looking for a program to send and recieve MMS messages without using data. The program linked above, called sMMS, does it without using data.

This will not work for you then, it still uses data, and you need the Sprint Picture Messaging, which is of course not available for VZW users.
Verizon charges you for a MMS like it's a SMS. If not it's $0.20/msg, the package for, I believe, 250 SMS is $5/mo.

I have unlimited texting, but was told that smartphones on Verizon don't use MMS, instead they use data somehow.

I`ve been trying for a couple weeks now to get MMS working on my Touch. I got a thread going but no luck in fixing it. I came across this today though http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35616. I called Alltel after I changed the setting, but the MMS network happened to be down at the time, so I don`t know if the setting work since nobody could send any at the time. The representative talked to the advance service tech and googled it as well, but neither could figure it out. I`m gonna call back tonight ( they said the network should be up by then) on a different phone to see if they can diagnose it. It kinda sounds like a problem with flashing roms. I know it worked for me before I started flashing, but it also happens even when you flash to an official alltel rom with a locked phone as in the case with my brother`s touch. When I upgraded his radio his stopped working. Perhaps its a network problem, hell I read that Sprint took it away from there users.

Stock ATT IM on CM6?

Hi all,
I don't know if this has been asked before, but I have done a search and haven't found the answer...If it has been answered, kindly direct me to the proper link.
Anyways, I have ATT and I was wondering if it was possible to install the stock ATT IM app onto cyanogenmod. The reason I ask is that with the stock ATT IM app, data isn't used; only text messages.
I have tried installing the IM.apk from the stock ROM but it says application not installed...
Thanks for your time!

It's probably part of Sense which is proprietary.
This app never worked for me... even before I rooted/just got the phone. Lol
It would load forever... and end up doing nothing.

Yup. Same here lol...even on wifi...
I used to use it on the stock ATT Rom, and the reason why it wasn't working was because you WERE on wifi. It uses data to connect and send messages (but it counts as text messages). So when you are on wifi, your data is actually not sending. As a result, you can't use it (I know, it's stupid).
This is the reason why I want this on CM6. It allows me to IM and it only uses text messages

SMS, MMS over wifi on Verizon

I was wondering if there was a way to get SMS and MMS to work over wifi with any app other than verizon messages. I've been a big user of that since they incorporated individual sounds for contacts. However, their most recent update has made MMS stop working entirely so I've gone back to Messenger for now. But last night I was at a bar with a friend and for whatever reason, inside the building a VZW signal was impossible. Outside the building it was fine....but inside it just dropped out. Wifi worked fine, but I was unable to send or receive any messages. Hangouts I cant remember if it could handle wifi for sms or not...and hangouts is not playing the correct sounds I select for contacts on my 6p.
i'm glad to know that I'm not the only one who used verizon messages that had mms stop working since that latest update. Of course they won't support the Nexus 6p, so I think we're stuck in a waiting game for now.
If you use Google Voice, you can use Hangouts for calls/sms/mms over WiFi or mobile data.
No.. I don't use Google voice. I've had my number far too long to switch to a Google voice number. I like the stock app.... But having the ability to text over wifi was nice with Verizon messages. I had a nasty exchange with their tech support. They kept telling me the same crap. I had to tell them as a nexus owner I'm not a tech idiot. It's on their end and started with their update. Fix it. Of course they continue to tell me it's my fault some setting isn't enabled when it is.

Just to respond to your google voice question. I had a number for almost 14 years. I ported that number over to Google Voice for 20$ one time fee and forwarded my google voice to my cell phone number.
I've been scouring the web for an old version of Verizon Messages and am coming up short. I'm hoping that by installing an old version, it will fix our issues. I'm going to try contacting the developer.

Its available on Amazon App store incase you are wondering.
right, but that is a really old version. I want the one right before this most recent update that broke it. Thank you though.

it is available on apkpure site. You can find many old versions. Just do a quick google search and you should find it.
Search Term: Verizon Messages APK
If I can find my S4 and charge it... I can use apk extractor to grab the old version of my S4 from before my nexus arrived. Also might be on my N7 if that hasn't automatically updated.
Big thanks to chichu_9! Inwas able to get last month's version on apkpure and now mms is working again, over wifi and vzw network. I just can't update the app anymore
Thanks @chichu_9 I got the apk from apk pure and all is working well again. Thanks.
So the Verizon Messages 6.0.2 works over wifi... correct?

yes, that is the version that I rolled back to on my phone and it has been working over wifi. MMS group messages have also been working.
I have 6.02 as well and everything is fine. I received an email from the VZW messages app team and they are aware and "working" on the problem
Adblock plus is blocking mms as of now. Remove it and mms will be back.
I don't have ad block and MMS is still not working on VZW messages. I'm completely stock. It's a problem with the latest update. According to Verizons email they sent me.. "we are aware of the problem and working to correct it"

Issues with a now unlocked Sprint S7

After calling Sprint the phone is now unlocked and I'm using it with Cricket. I've removed what I can of the Sprint bloat but it's there (this phone is not rooted). The issue I have is that I can not receive or send MMS messages while on wi-fi. I've tried every APN setting I could find online and talked to Cricket but I'm still stuck here with my thumb up my ass.
I'm a new/old Android user and I'm sure some of you on here know your stuff so I'm deferring to you on this because I don't know what to do. My only hunch is that it being a Sprint S7 is ****ing with things and making some stuff not work (wi-fi calling doesn't work/isn't an option on the phone).

What firmware are you using? Also, have you tried a cricket forum here or maybe a place like Reddit?
Have you tried a messaging app besides the stock one?
On Oreo, cricket and reddit have been no help. Not trying to use a 3rd party app, though.
