Using my Android phone, I want to share an image via MMS to a Twilio phone number and be able to extract the images via code.

I have set up a Function App to capture the message, as per my question here

I am surprised however to find that the message contains the following values

NumMedia = 0
Body = 
"You+have+a+new+MMS+Picture+or+Video+Message.+To+view+your+message%2C+go+to+http%3A%2F%2Ftelstra.com%2Fmmsview   etc

I was hoping that NumMedia would be 1 and that I would be able to iterate through a collection of images to extract.

I guess the issue is that I am not sending the mms via the Twilio API. Instead I am sending it via my phone directly.

How can I extract the pictures that I share via text message? Does it depend on my phone carrier?

[Update] I have no experience as an Android developer so I am preferring a no-code solution.

There is a Twilio support link that mention a Twilio URL, however I am receiving a Telstra URL

The phone is a Samsung Galaxy J1 mini

Twilio advises this is because my Twilio number is not MMS capable. I need to try it with an MMS Capable number. This will need to be an international number at the moment.
