Does Simple Mobile block Cricket Pictures?

cricket_androidOkay, first encounter of this so i have to know if others are experiencing the same issue.
I have been sending pictures with my cricket phone to a female friend of mine who is using Simple Mobile and she has not been responding to them. So i ask her why she doesn’t respond and she says she never got them. She is sure it is cricket messing up. So I test sending her pictures with my work phone which is on Verizon and the pictures send fine. Next I send pictures from my Cricket phone to my Verizon phone and from Verizon phone to my Cricket phone and all goes well. Yet not one picture received to the Simple Mobile network.

From what i see all sms text messages transfer fine and fast but to send a picture from Cricket to simple mobile, no go.

Now understand that I am on the version of Cricket that uses the AT&T GSM sim card, not the old Cricket with no sim card (except 4g) using CDMA network.

So if you are experiencing or not experiencing this please respond below so I get a grip on what is happening.

 

 

**Update**
I contacted Cricket and this is the tip they gave me to check my my APN settings to verify i am connected correctly. Sadly I am connected correctly. but nonetheless

Cricket Help:  I will send you the APN settings , but this will work just for Cricket devices
Cricket Helps:  Tap Settings > Mobile Networks (or Mobile Data) > Access Point Names > New APN (may have to tap Menu button to see this option).

Nope, did not work.

Tmobile and Sprint Merger Bad Karma?

Rumor hitting the net now about Tmobile and sprint merging.

From this Uk News Article

Hopefully this means teh end of sprints crappy CDMA signal and growth of Tmobiles more dominant gsm signal.

One of the greatest features of gsm is the ability to just yank your sim card out and plug it into another phone you have and make it work, until you can replace your broken phone. So if this happens, cross your fingers and hope for gsm. Some people like to travel, and many people like Tmobile.

Oh yeah, and a good signal.
