Sent that using Google Messenger and bang, it sent it in about 5 seconds. So I copied a 2.38MB photo from my PC into my wife's phone. Noting Bg260's reply, it looked like Google Messenger was auto reducing the photo. I checked the size of the received photo in my phone and it is 952.8KB. Wow, what a difference! Google Messenger sent the text message with the 1.26MB photo in about 5 seconds. So I turned "mobile data" on, on her phone. I had turned "mobile data" off on my wife's phone for testing text messaging via Wifi since her phone only has Tmobile's legacy voice only prepaid plan. Then from Googling I read a review of a text msg app (forget which one) and it said that some services require that "mobile data" must be turned on when sending text messages via Wifi. I had tried Google Messenger to send a text msg + the same 1.26MB pic and it took a long time (like over 10 minutes) but eventually sent the message successfully. ![]() Attached a 1.26MB photo from her phone's 5MP camera and Textra took a really long time (like over 10 minutes) and then failed to send the text+pic message. I tried Textra and set the "Carrier send Limit" to 300KB. (She didn't want a data plan since she said she won't use it while out of the house. ![]() So she can only use Wifi to send her text messages. I need to clarify that my new phone has Tmobile's 5GB data plan but my wife's new Galaxy On5 phone is continuing her legacy Tmobile voice only prepaid plan. ![]() Thank you very much for taking the time to help me out.
