Hi, you need to change your settings. Unfortunately 2020 settings request will not work for the S3, so unfortunately you will have to do all this manually... Let me know if you want the mms also, as that also needs changing

Please ensure that when entering O2 into the settings that the letter O is selected and not a zero.

When entering the following information do not press Save until told to in the instructions.

1. Tap Apps

5. Make sure that Use packet data box has a tick in it (tap box to change)

Be aware that sending photos using MMS can get very expensive. Using email or WhatsApp to name but two, are less expensive alternatives, as in free....

No excuse for mms charges in this age, understandable when it was introduced but even then texts were 12p with zero allowance.
Nowadays texts are all free but the good old mms has actually increased in cost to the consumer while the tech that powers it is as old as 256k modems.
