You'll need to email us directly which you can do by following the instructions I've sent to you via Private Message. You can find your PM inbox here. :Winking_smiley:

Hi there seven4774,

I switched over to Vodafone after being with orange for 10 years. I purchased a s3 in July and have also had this problem ever since receiving the phone. First of all I havespent countless hours to technical support but them not having a clue what was wrong and then trying to fix it with changing settings etc but stillgot getting resolved. I have also been dealing with the local store in Duwhoa did must have explained the problem to every staff member in there and no one knowing how to fix this. 

 

They have tried everything from changing account settings, changing apn settings,providing a new sim card and have basically run out of ideas so have passed it onto the technical team. This was 3 weeks ago and I have still not heard back. Basically I have been absolutely discussed with the lack of customer service received, or not from employees and the manager within the store. They have basically washed their hands of the situation as they did not have an answer and I have pretty much lost and faith in the company and getting this resolved. 

 

I have tried everything on this thread and nothing seems to work. My Internet works but still no mms. Any suggestions before I smash the phone against the wall?

Hello Descoteaux,

 

I don't think smashing the phone against the wall is going to be a working solution. It would also be a very expensive thing to do.

 

I've sent you a PM which can be accessed here. If you could follow the instructions in the PM and send us your details one of the team will be with you as soon as they can.

 

In the meantime, have you considered sending the pictures via email :Winking_smiley:

Cheers,
