You can't receive pictures until you've sent one. So without a camera you're pretty much out of luck unless you put your sim card in another phone and send an MMS or you just send a blank MMS to someone.

Well it depends on what network you're using. You'll need the settings sent to your mobile from the network.

Text the word 'ACTIVE' without the quotes to 2020 and you will receive the Picture Messaging and Internet settings. When they arrive, if asked for a PIN enter 0000.

I have this phone and, even though it has some colour backgrounds, I think by 'picture messaging' it means those black and white images you can send. If you go to:

Menu --> Messages --> Picture messages

You can see the choice of images you can send - there are 30 preset on my phone. The picture is sent as 3 text messages (with 60 characters leftover). The phone doesn't have MMS which would be needed to receive actual photo messages.

I made this mistake when buying the phone too when I saw picture messaging. I only found out this wasn't possible when I bought it.

Hope this helps.

After looking your phone up, what Scott_14 says is correct. That phone does not support MMS unfortunately.
