Whenever I try so send an MMS message my phone tells me the connection failed. Whenever I get an MMS message the phone tells me to DL the picture, when I click to DL it I get a connection failed error......

any ideas?

Call Verizon as i had the same problem when i got my omnia its just some lil tweaking they have to do on their part. 611 is the number my friend and after that i recommend u reprogramm ur phone with *228 to get it going and up to date. Hope this helps

I called them earlier and they tried a few things and couldn't get it to work....

i had this on mine and my wife's omnia's after flashing and the verizon techs could not figure it out. so just clicking around i found this - go to the mms inbox - click menu - mms options - go to the profile tab - click on edit profile - make sure the mmsc is set to, http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms - make sure te data connection is set to, Broadband Access(or whatever you have your connection named, there should be a drop down) - click done

funny. i had this problem after flashing. i called vzw tech and ended up walking them through what i was doing. i had to give them step by step. i fixed it. never thought to look there in the profile tab. wonder in their hiring...

Thank you! I've been getting more & more pissed at the 'Connection failed' message, even though I'm in a strong signal. Checked my profile and the data connection was not selected. Fixed that and it worked right away.

YOU ARE THE MAN!!! Not even the morons a Verizon thought of checking this. Now why or how in the hell did this get unchecked?
