How do I update the network settings on an iphone 6 to allow me to send picture messages in the UK? I have just moved from Australia and activated a £25 pay as you go data bundle. I can send text, access the internet and make calls but can't send picture messages. Even if someone could let me know how I can call O2 and speak to an operator that would be appreciated, thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.

you need to ensure mms is enabled in Settings > messages > mms messaging on
Remember they do cost a lot to send 45p each in uk https://www.o2.co.uk/termsandconditions/mobile/pay-as-you-go-big-bundle-tariff-charges

Hello @Anonymous,
If you are visual like me, you can check the interactive device guide for Apple iPhone 6 - iOS 10 (please change it if you have a different OS) about MMS Sending pictures or MMS Manual configuration.
Let us know if you need anything else
Thanks @MI5 and @adamtemp64 for the help

Best way to get the network settings is to text ACTIVE to 2020.
