How to send/recieve mms (pictures) on gophone fusion2?
I just got a new go phone, a Fusion 2. I have the $25 per month plan with unlimited messaging/250 minutes of calling. It says the unlimited messaging includes unlimited picture messaging also. However, when i try sending a picture all it says it sending and it never gets sent. I read that i need my data turned on and i tried that and yes it works but isn't it supposed to let me do this without using my data? currently i have $5 worth on it, and i don't want to use that up.
So how do i get mms to work without using my data?

The data used in sending and receiving picture messages is included in your unlimited messaging, it will not use your data plan. Your data connection DOES need to be turned on when you're trying to send or receive picture messages (MMS). You won't be able to send/receive picture messages without having your data conneection active. I'd suggest , in order to save on your $5 data plan, when you're not planning on sending/receiving pics, to turn your data connection off, just to be on the safe side.
Hope this helps.

Sending a picture (MMS) should not use your data since it is included in whatever Messaging Plan that you have. If anything could be using your data, it's probably whatever traffic app that you're using.

Thank you sooo much!
I have another question though, is there a way to make sure when i turn on my data to send/recieve a picture that nothing else such as facebook ends up using actual data thus charging me for internet?
would i have to just make sure i am logged out of everything for that to not happen or it is unlikely that apps would automatically try using my data in that short amount of time i need to keep it on?

Hello @dezzy13
A go phone line has to have at least a pay per use data plan to send and receive picture messages. Are you asking about the same phone you used to post on the forums? It says you're using a Samsung SPH-M830.
Thanks,
Dmitriy
