I’m in the same boat as you. Used Textra and Mighty Text years back but want to try swapping back. Doesn’t seem like anything can compete with the robust features Messages has right now, unfortunately…

I’ve been using textra for about 9 years now with no problems. Can’t imagine the default offers anything it doesn’t.

Im honestly fine without RCS I just dont know how ti get rid of the error message

Oh shit, I missed that part in the post. Go into settings/mms/mms advanced and turn down the carrier send limit. It’s trying to send it in too big of chunks so your carrier blocks it

I cant find that option. Maybe being stupid about it? I have a samsung s25

Open up textra itself like youre going to text someone but havent chosen who yet, hit the three dots in the top right, settings, under messaging is MMS. Carrier send limit is in there.

Thank you!! I tried it and will report back. It would be awesome if this works and I dont have to go back.

So far so good! Thank you so much for that!

Sorry, should have specified textra settings lol glad it’s working!

Unfortunately I got the error message again, so I guess that isn’t the fix?

Try setting it to the very lowest and very highest and have a friend send you an image for each.

I set it to 100kb and got the Pic fine and then 2000kb and got the image fine. I previously set it to no limit.
Show threadPostmortal_PopFeb 17
There’s the ticket. Just set it to the 2k and forget about it. Something about the “no limit” setting makes it choke on the data.

Thank you! I will try that.

So far so good! Dropping an update for future folks. Thanks again!
