Does iMessage have to disabled if you never had an iPhone? I have similar problems with texting and replies from I phones.
Hatebto say it, but Brax3 is a good bit less stable than I was expecting. And this text keyboard? Ugh, just awful.

Hi Mike, as far as keyboards concerned I downloaded FUTO keyboard and voice input from Aurora store. The just enable it and have a go. Sure there are others but this works for me.

That worked!
Followed the instructions you sent about imessage and now I can receive MMS messages. I still can’t sent pics but that is different because a pop up comes up that says the file is too big.

I have the same problem when sending pics. It says they are too large. I find no way of reducing the size. What I did find is that clearing the cache on the messaging app allows me to send and receive a few pictures till it says they are too large again. Hope this helps and maybe someone know a work around.

Well… back to the drawing board. I was able to recieve two MMS pics from my wife. That’s it. Every time I want to send a pic a popup says its too big. Now I found that I’m not receiving group messages.
*I’ve removed my # from imesssge
*I’ve changed messages setting to reduce size of pics.

Also, I called PureTalk. They asked for the IMEI number of phone. They had me put in a code in the dialer, then a pop up came up with the IMEI #. so I gave it to them. They said its running iode and it has an ad blocker that might be the problem…
Should I switch to ATT or T-mobile?
I like prepaid phone services that offer unlimited data. What service is most compatible?

I like prepaid phone services that offer unlimited data. Is there a provider that we have best results with.
** I like privacy messaging apps. but for sending pics of the kids to grandma… its going to have to go through MMS.

I switched to US Mobile which allows you to pick from the 3 carriers and switch between them option as well. Pay monthly or pre pay for a better deal. So far, it has worked well for me on B3 phone using “Dark” (att) network. They have different names for each of the networks. Unlimited, check them out as an option. Hope this helps.

that sounds really cool. I’ll check it out. “dark” att. that sounds interesting… LOL. so you happen to have a screen shot of the network settings?
*I’m going to make sure it’s a network issue before I switch. My wife does not get my MMS but my friends do… they all have iphone. I’m so confused.

This is screen shots from my brax3. The setting options are sligtly different than the screen shot from PurTalk. I took my best guess as you can see from the dark screenshots. But I did not work.
