I am actually going to scream!
I have had a new phone for Christmas - it is a Nokia Lumia 530.
I am on Giffgaff and I have credit.
I want to send/ receive pictures via text.
Giffgaff work on a forum based advice center and they all just speak to fast for me and use language I just don't understand!
I have tried updating the APN settings - I have tried downloading various apps - to then be told the app doesn't work anyway!
I was told that I need to turn off my WIFI and use my data to get photos.
I don't use internet outside of the house - I connect to my WIFI only - I do have a small amount of data in my allowance but don't understand why my mum who had the oldest brick phone in the world can send/ receive photos without internet/ data and why I then have to pay for it?
I did what they said and turned my WIFI off and data on - and low and behold it worked!
However five mins later when my over enthusiastic mum sent me another photo - it wouldn't work!
Also my other half can send/ receive photos happily without having to turn wifi off/ data on etc etc???
I'm just about ready to throw this piece of crap in the bin and dig out my beloved purple brick phone!
Please help - but please don't use big words!
Sob sob sob! xxxx
