We have a basic trac Fone. I have a Samsung A13 and am trying to text pix to my wife who is using a prepaid trac Fone. She can receive the text but some times she cannot get the pix. It is trying to download them. Can she just view without downloading them?

Thanks guys.

Nope. Device can't display what it doesn't have.

Only other option is to post them to an image sharing site, sending her the URL, and she views in a browser.

Even then (and many people aren't aware of this) the device downloads the image to display it.

If you have the capability, you can try resizing the image to be smaller and sending that.

When I wish to open an image that was sent in a text message on my Tracfone I can't simply click on the image, I have a popup open asking me if I want to use Photos to open it.

All these restrictions and limitations should very strange to me. I have a Tracfone and send and receive text messages with pictures easily with no special effort. It happens most days, just sent 2 pics a little while ago to brother and SIL.

Maybe out of Data and not connected to WiFi ?
