Cell phone issues! Help.

[SkydiveStMarys 0]

Ok, I need some insight to this problem...I have a camera phone and I also have the text messaging package, but one of my friends is trying to text me and send me pics, this friend also has the same capabilities on their phone BUT different carrier, neither one of us is getting our messages. Do you need to have the same carrier in which to do this? I didn't think you had to but what do I know??

I've been able to text people with different carriers.

the text messaging package and picture message package are different, you both have to have it setup on your plan. there was a time when you could only send and recieve pic texts from people with the same service provider, luckily for me and plenty others...they fixed that shit.

Yes, you need to have the same carrier to send pictures to each other. You can email them to one another thou-

Well as far as I know from personal experiences ....you have to have the same carrier..

Unless the two carriers share the same towers...

So in a way we are both right

first name basis?!

from my personal experience, I am with verizon and I can send and recieve from, t-mobile, sprint even cricket. maybe they are all sharing towers? I have some friends in the cell phone biz and they say that's how things USED to be. How about you send me the pictures and I'll forward them to your friend?

A tip before you say "Cheese" : Clean that little dot they call a camera lens before you snap the pic.

Send a pic to me please.

You can send/receive text messages across all the different major carriers (VZ, Alltel, Cingular, T-Mobile, Nextel, US Cellular). They all have inter-carrier and inter-operability agreements which permit this. I don't know if they have agreements in place which permits them to allow the transmission of picture messages from cell-set to cell-set. The last time I tried, I couldn't.

It has nothing to do with whether a carrier is sharing a tower. Beyond the tower, it's all connected by wires anyway.
