I had VZW enable a data block ever since I got the phone since I don't use/want the costly data plan. I've never seen a data charge on any past MMS used.
MMS is working properly once again now.
Edit: There were multiple power outages in my area this morning. If my issue with MMS is isolated then that could very well be a potential cause.
One more reason why I dont have an expensive data plan on my cheap verizon basic phone. I only use my phone for calls and a few text messages. Any data or browsing I need to do I am able to do on my home connection. I dont have a need to watch tv, etc on my phone. -- I know you think you understand what you thought I said, but I am not sure you realize what you heard is not what I meant. Nixon
