Galaxy S (At&T)

Ok so i am having a problem with my phone.
Whenever i get a picture message i cant seem to get them or when i send them i cant seem to get it to send all it will say is downloading or sending.
i currently dont have Internet but i do have wifi on it.
So is there a way i can send it to my email or some shit.
Or possible set my phone up where it uses wifi to download/send picture messages.
Cause its been doing this for awhile now. i wait hours on end to get or send them and nothing happens.
So does anyone have similar problems?
Any help will be most helpful and i would be most grateful.
and +1 rep for how ever is the most helpful and fixes my problem! :D
THANKS!

You can Tether to your computer or text them to your email for free.

never heard of it..
Explain please?

USB cable that lets you access the memory of your phone to drag and drop files from and to. Also if your phone has a card slot you can mass download into that card and just use a card reader to access the memory.

im trying to receive picture messages/ send picture messages through texting.
i dont see how this would help me get the pictures in a text message sent or received?

I was under the idea of you saying 'So is there a way i can send it to my email or some shit.' When you can use att message service on their website. If you phone can't send or receive pic message then A. Your plan don't cover pic messaging or B. you can get the signal for it. In your manual they should be a number to update your phone or program new firmware. All else fails go or call att.

Im pretty sure i can get picture messsages cause some time i get those damn forward messages that have pictures and pne of my friends send a picture and i got it like like no time. So right now im sitting here with 2 new pictures being "downloading" and yea been like that for about 3 hours. ill go hunting on good for some answers or some shit.
And ill let you know if the firmware then works.
and as far as the signal goes i have like 2 bars right now.

Okie Dokie.
you all know i have a GS and had it for a while now and i love it (Recommend Getting)
So anyways when ever i get a message it will coming up as a puzzle piece and i simply drag it to the missing hole on the screen and it goes to my messages.
So after awhile of seeing that everytime i gets a message..i wanna know is there a way i can change it maybe? :O
Im sure you can cause the GS is to smart not to be about to change that.
So if you guys could tell me how or just give a link on how to change it i would be grateful! x3

Did you get your Galaxy S from AT&T on contract or is it the original i9000 model?

Yes, you can change it. Just search up lock screens on the Android market. There are tons of them to choose from.

Umm im not really sure. it looks like this.
