Tracphone Issues When Sending Pictures

When I send pictures from my Tracphone to my home computer email address, the pictures use to show up immediately.

 

Now, they don't show up in my home computer emails after I send them using my Tracphone for several hours.  Sometimes I try turning off the phone and restarting it a few times.  Sometimes that helps, or sometimes 8 hours or so later my pictures arrive in my in box.

 

Any ideas why this happens?

I'm unable to offer any reason as to why it's happening, but when I take my battery out and then reinsert it everything seems to work better.  Good luck.

Re: Tracphone Issues When Sending Pictures

first, check your sync settings. could be right there.

 

but, does your phone use GSM or CDMA technology?

 

towers owned by AT&T (using GSM technology) have been known dump or delay TracFone traffic during times of high use, in order to favor AT&T customers.

 

i found out I had hundreds of delayed texts, arriving late as partial texts or scrambled non sense. some were delayed more than 6 months!

 

I suspect this is why TracFone has moved away from having as many GSM phones as they used to.
