Answer 1

Also, if you don't have a BlackBerry data plan you won't be able to send MMS messages (The exceptions to this rule are if you have the BlackBerry Feature Enabler enabled on a T-Mobile BlackBerry, or a MediaNET plan on AT&T). And Sprint and Alltel don't have MMS availability right now on their BlackBerrys, so if you are using them as a carrier you won't be able to MMS right from the phone. You would need to e-mail the pictures.

Answer 2

this happened to me when I first got mine, you probably didn't sign up for the data plan which is an additional $20 a month and doesn't include texting and calling.. you will not be able to use the MMS or instant messanger features without this plan

Answer 3

Check with your network provider. Usually there is a setting that needs to be in place for MMS to be enabled. They can send a network message to your phone to set this up.

Answer 4

With blackberry, you go to the actual file/pic to send to MMS or blackberry messenger user.  

Also, make sure your contacts in your phone have the AREA code, not just the 7 digit phone number, that can affect sending out MMS messages.
