If your on any ROM other than boost stock ROM you need to do the MMS fix. You cab find it in the root one stop shop under known issues and fixes.

That won't be it, he is receiving them and able to download them on WiFi so we know the mmsc server settings are okay. It is getting them over 3g that's the issue. I have had that happen to me when something was wrong with the network in the area before.

It is not odd at all. The phone just needs a data connection along with cellular. The notification of an mms comes through the cellular and then the phone uses a data connection to get the mms.

Try again today with WiFi off and a decent signal for 3g. If you still can't then you might need to do a scrtn reset or contact boost about it.

Just keep clicking yes and ok. The phone will do a hands free activiation again and reboot around 2-3 times...so far so good.
