Multimedia messaging (sometimes referred to as picture messaging or picture mail) is a feature that allows customers with multimedia messaging-capable phones to send messages with text, pictures, photos, video and audio clips from their Cricket phone to another wireless phone or e-mail address. Customers can send picture or multimedia messages while in Cricket's data coverage areas.
Customers can send messages to other Cricket customers (including those in different Cricket service areas) by simply using the 10-digit mobile number of the recipient. In addition, customers can send messages to some other wireless users in the United States by simply using the 10-digit mobile number of the recipient.
Specific instructions on how to send a picture message are listed in your phone's user guide. In general:
1. Select the Multimedia Messaging option from your phone's menu. 2. Enter in the 10-digit mobile number of the recipient. 3. Add your picture, video, audio or text. 4. Press SEND.
You can sign up for monthly picture messaging service by logging into My Account, clicking on the link "Add New Features", and then adding the feature to your cart.
You can also call 1-800-CRICKET or visit your nearest Cricket store.
No, not necessarily. You need to ensure that your phone is capable of downloading videos. Please refer to your phone's user manual for more information.
You can receive picture messages on your Cricket phone even if you do not have picture messaging as a feature. If your phone does not support picture messages, you will get a text message with a link to a website (http://www.mycricket.com/mms) where you can view your message. However, in order to send picture messages or reply to messages you receive you must have a phone capable of picture messaging and be a picture messaging subscriber.
No. Unfortunately, picture messaging is not available on the Evoke. For a list of which Cricket phones have picture messaging capability please refer to the phone compatibility matrix.
Many phones display an envelope icon, but different phones notify users that they have received a message in different ways. Check your phone's user guide for details about how your phone notifies you when you have received a picture message.
Simply send it to the Cricket subscriber's picture messaging e-mail address.
Cricket subscribers can receive messages at yourphonenumber@mms.myCricket.com. For example, a customer with the phone number 123-456-7890 can receive a message at 1234567890@mms.myCricket.com.
Customers on most Cricket monthly service plans have picture messaging included at no extra charge. For Cricket customers whose plans do not include unlimited picture messaging, the feature can be added for just $5 per month plus tax and fees (if applicable). You will receive unlimited usage without any airtime charges or per message fees. That means you can send and receive as many messages as you want.
Your e-mail address is yourphonenumber@mms.mycricket.com. For example, a customer with the phone number 123-456-7890 can receive a multimedia message at 1234567890@mms.mycricket.com.
