I cannot send or receive multimedia messages, what do I need to think about?

There are a few things you can check when multimedia messaging is not working properly. The first thing to try is to download settings. If multimedia messaging is still not working after you have downloaded settings, or if the download fails or is not available, you can try adding the settings manually. If settings are in place, but multimedia messaging is still not working, try the other solutions suggested.
