  Pictures look awful,
The CTIA recommended allowing up to 5MB for pictures back in 2013. That would handle full-size JPEGs with reasonable compression most DLSRs. What does your carrier support?

Same as above.

MMS read receipts have been a thing since at least 2004. Wanna bet your carrier still doesn't support them?

You’re suggesting I should get my friends to switch carriers??

Why should it be up to the carrier? I guess that’s why it’s so broken.
