Why cant you receive a picture message on the text me app?

you may need to contact your network provider and ask them to allow MMS (picture) messages aswell as the standard SMS (text) , your mobile internet may not be activated or the SETTINGS have not been sent to you from your network provider and finally is the mobile modern enough to send and receive MMS messages ? its a simple solution but a call to your network provider ie.. O2 , Orange , Vodafone etc... is needed.
