Go to Settings/Messages and turn on MMS. If you don’t see the MMS switch contact your carrier and ask them to provision MMS on your phone.

My wife has the identical phone and the identical issue. I be been at this for several hrs over the period of a month so not much I haven’t tried. Even though I live in a major metropolis I don’t have 5G yet. Any thoughts?

5G requires a 5G service plan with most carriers. It costs more. And you need a 5G SIM. If you moved the SIM from your old phone it won’t get 5G.

Everything was purchased new just over a month ago so SIM card was new then as well on both phones. Late last evening, with everything on except WiFi, I was able to send a couple of pictures to two different android devices. I wonder if that occurred because of lighter signal use in my area at that time. I also noticed that I received an LTE signal instead of 4G or 5G. Again I suspect the carrier.
