I sit right next to my friends and they send me a pictures multiple times but i can never get it to come to my mytouch 3g. Any ideas why or how i can solve this problem. I have been thinking about switching to verizon and getting the droid because of this problem. It kinda seems like a tmobile problem because my friends who have droids dont seem to have this issue.
 
I havent seen that problem yet... hopefully I dont. I havent really seen any problems on mine though.... Verizon does have great coverage and you do get coverage in a lot of places that others wont, but that great service does come at a price. I had verizon and switched over to tmobile because the prices for vzw were just ridic. I had them for over 10 yrs and finally I said enough was enough and ended it.

Take out the dash's in your contact phone listings. Let the numbers run together.
This will fix the problem for sending picture and MMS stuff such as sound files.
EXAMPLE: 216-XXX-XXXX should be edited to 216XXXXXXX no dash's between
the numbers to a mobile phone. The area code I picked is means nothing. It just
part of the example. Do this for mobile phone numbers. Of course any house numbers
is silly. With out the mulitmedia, Smart phones are indeed stupid phones. I can also
say that somebody did not program something right. Humm.. anyway, the above and
except for dead zones and sunspots you should have no problems send Grandmother
your pics.. .. Hope this helps.
