Can't receive MMS messages from Mint Mobile/T-Mobile users

This started happening 4 weeks ago, I stopped receiving MMS messages from Mint Mobile users (which are using T-Mobiles towers/service).  SMS just plain text directly from the user works, but when they try to text me a picture (which uses MMS), it never comes through.  Also, in group text, I do not receive anything from the Mint Mobile phone numbers.

Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus.

I have already tried taking my SIM card and putting into another Verizon phone (Galaxy S8 Plus) and the MMS message from Mint Mobile/T-Mobile still does not come through.  It is not a hardware/software issue, but a carrier to carrier issue.

Using MMS, especially in groups, has become as common as standard text and emails, GQsj. We appreciate the details you’ve provided in your troubleshooting. Let’s gather some more detail. What happens when the Mint Mobile user sends MMS to other users? Do all the others in the group get the MMS, in other words? When you send an MMS to the group or directly to the Mint Mobile user, does that person receive your MMS?

Here are the answers to your question...

What happens when the Mint Mobile user sends MMS to other users?
A - All other users in the group text are able to receive the MMS messages from the Mint Mobile numbers.

Do all the others in the group get the MMS, in other words?
A - Yes, the other folks get the MMS message from Mint Mobile users in the group text.  I am the only one not receiving it.  

When you send an MMS to the group or directly to the Mint Mobile user, does that person receive your MMS?
A - Yes, everyone in the group is able to receive my MMS messages

To add further, I am able to SMS with the Mint Mobile users just fine.  Only MMS is the issue.  They can receive an MMS message from me, but I can't receive one from them (ex: picture, group text, etc.).

I have used the built in Samsung messages, Google messages and Verizon's messages.  Non are receiving MMS messages from Mint mobile.  In fact I have your level 3 support looking into this and now they can't send me an MMS message.  They have reprovisioned my line 3 times and had me try a new SIM card as well.  The new SIM did not fix the issue either.

10-4. Have you noticed any data issues off of Wi-Fi? Have you tested both connected and not connected to Wi-Fi when texting the Mint Mobile user or rather them texting you? ChrisM_VZW
