Why doesn't my iphone 5 let me view picture messages?

Everytime someone sends me a picture, i receive it but when i click the photo to see it full size, it just loads forever. Does anyone know how to fix this? It started happening recently.

Its probably just lack of signal or the provider is just terrible. Or it just could be that at the time your downloading to much data that it makes it take for ever.lastly, it could just be that there's something wrong with the phone.
