I appreciate you looking. That's pretty much the conclusion that I came to after searching about this issue. Everyone just blames it on the limitations of MMS, but I know for a fact that you can receiver higher quality MMS than 30KB. It's especially fishy that it only started happening once I got my new phone. And the fact that it is also happening to my wife makes me severely doubt that it's a problem with the phone, since the odds of us both getting a defective phone are pretty damn slim. I'm not sure what kind of hardware issue could even cause something like this. There has to be something on Verizon's end causing this.
