Unable to send/rec pictures SE W850i

I cannot send or receive picture messages on my Sony Ericsson W850i phone.
I contacted o2 they sent me the settings but it still does not work. When I send a picture I receive the following error message "sending failed service not available". When someone sends me a picture the phone gives me a message saying that the picture can be viewed on the o2 web site by entering a pin number.
One of the Internet forums suggested I text PICON to 21400, this I have done and in turn received another message to text ACTIVE to 2020 after doing this I received a message saying installation completed for MMS and WAP and then a further message saying the installation has been successful but it still does not work.

Has anyone any ideas?

Hi,

I think the problem here is with your connection. I understand that you have the right settings from your operator...however you should check with them to see if your line is data enabled for MMS (this is how your pictures are sent....in an MMS message).

My picture messages cannot be sent or received its says check internet settings profiles I have a sony ericsson k800 cyber shot, I cannot send or receive picture messages, not sure why, please help.

Make sure your subscription covers the desired service(s), and that the selected carrier (e.g. GPRS/EDGE) is available in the area. If you still have problems sending or receiving MMS (picture messages) or accessing the mobile Internet/WAP on your phone, you probably need new settings installed. Go to your mobile carrier website and follow the instructions to receive the settings in an SMS message. You can also contact your operator for the correct settings.

Hiya go to your fones web site and go to the picture messaging part. There they should have a download settings for your fone.

Picture messaging

what kind of sim card are you using in it now? in order to receive send pictures (other than bluetooth) you need a sim card. and if you have an att sim card in it and it is not letting you send receive picture mail, your internet is off. (we call this WAP in the industry). The easy fix:

Call ATT if you are using it on the ATT network and tell them to have the internet pay per use turned on. Then you will be able to receive MMS messages.

W850i Picture messages

I think that you might need to ring up your phones network and ask them to do something with the picture messaging so that you can start to view your picture messages, this has happened to me as well as i am on T-Mobile
