I have a verizon Iphone 6s+ that I use on straight Talk. All of a sudden when my Fire Dept sends our alert text message to my phone . It co es through and alerts fine , but it shows attachments removed . It is a audio attachment that is attached to a text message. My friends Verizon iPhone 6 does it just fine. My screen , see below ....
Attachments require MMS. A number of MVNOs* like ST are dropping support for MMS. I don't know if ST has specifically; go to Settings/Messages. Is there a switch for MMS? If there is turn it on and it should fix the problem. If there is no switch that means that your carrier no longer supports MMS.
Note also that you must have Cellular Data turned on to receive attachments; they cannot travel over a Wi-Fi connection.
*MVNO: Mobile Virtual Network Operator. A carrier that doesn't have a network; they buy network bandwidth in bulk from another carrier.

Hi justan,
it seems that the same kind of problem happened to Verizon clients back in 2013 or so. It seems to be a problem with Verizon not the iPhone. Unfortunately I can seem to find a solution.
good luck

The OP does not have Verizon, they have Straight Talk, so whatever Verizon has or doesn't have is irrelevant.
