I am trying to attach an image to an SMS created by my app. When I view the resulting message once I receive it on my phone or tablet, I see the attachment, but if I click on it I just see the word "Photo", followed by JPEG Image or PNG Image (depending on what I tried to send) and the image size. I can't actually see the image. Any idea what I could be doing wrong?
What is a soft phone? I can't find any reference to it in the developer documentation.

Scroll to the "RC Phone - Desktop" and select the appropriate platform to download.
Switch to the "sandbox mode" before logging in the app:
MacOS: press “fn + command + f2” keys
Windows: press “Ctrl + F2” keys
Tried that, but didn't get too far. Windows version. ctrl+F2 does nothing. ctrl+f1 brings up a menu, but nothing about sandbox mode. And I can't log in - it won't accept the same user name and password that the sandbox accepts for sending and downloading messages. And I'm not sure how that app would help me anyway. Why is there NO documentation for any of this?
It works for everyone. Do some self-service, search the site for previous discussions/instructions.
Same result. I see the message, but can't see the image. Here is the response I get when I send the message:
