MMS SETTINGS HTC Windows Phone 8X O2

[Anonymous]

Hello,

Don't mean to be a pain and you probably get loads of these questions - My MMS settings for my new HTC 8 are not working - I've tried looking through forums for the answer but no such luck. Is there some sort of dummy guide for setting up MMS on it because I can't see pictures that are sent to me via messaging. It bothers me a lot aswell because it cost me a fortune!

Think i posted it in the wrong section before!

Thanks!!

I'm having the same issues with my 8X.

I've had settings sent to me, I've had various O2 guys work on it and I've had my MMS turned off and turned back on again.

This afternoon though, one O2 bloke managed to get it so that I could receive MMS but still couldn't send. I've carried on playing around and now I can send but so far can't receive!!

It's pretty frustrating. I now have an appointment in store with an O2 guru tomorrow morning to see if he can sort it out. If he does, I'll post up

Try the following :-

APN: wap.o2.co.uk

Username: o2wap

Password: password

WAP gateway port (URL): 82.132.254.1

WAP gateway port: 8080

MMSC (URL): http://mmsc.mms.o2.co.uk/

MMSC port: 8002

Max MMS size: blank

IP Type: IPv4

Seems to be working for me. I'll probably be cancelling my Guru appointment now

Also switch on your mobile data connection. If it is switched off then it won't send mms.

Thanks, this also sorted things for me not being able to send/receive photos on a text. Set it in 'settings/mobile network' set data connection to 'on' then add the details Chubnut provided to 'edit mms apn'. Surely O2 should provide these settings as standard the first time you logon to the network?

They do provide a system to get the settings for most phones by texting O2ACTIVE to 2020.

Do you have to have data switched on to receive as well?

I'm on Pay&Go & am charged £1 as soon as I switch the data option on (even if I don't use any data). The charge is valid for data use up until midnight, so I'll wait until morning before switching data on. (I'm sure the charge used to be for 24 hours from switching on).

Yes, you need an active data connection.

Why not switch to a tariff with some data included, it's much cheaper than a pound a day?
