"Two other ways to test this out are tinyurl and 3rd party encrypted services.
I've not had this problem with links, but it's not often I send links because most of the people I associate with are already here. I did have a problem with a photo I took a few months ago of a military helicopter that flew right over my house. I could send it to those that I have encrypted comms with but not to some of my other friends that are over the network.
I found manipulating the image helped. I could also take a screenshot of the chat containing the compressed image and send that. I couldn't send screenshots of the full image, however. I haven't been active lately because of work, and I completely forgot about this until right now.
I've had the same issue! Any time I send a link to the Donald.win over mms in a group chat, I can't send any more messages for about 10 minutes. They just fail to send. I've had to do URL shortening on unencrypted chat if I want to send a link to this site. I am also on cricket. I have no issues sending messages with links over Signal. Luckily, I got most of my family onto Signal a couple years ago so I've been able to keep the red pills flowing to them.
