Can't receive MMS

Anonymous

When I get sent an MMS message, I jsut get a link to view the message rather than the message itself. I have a SIM-free Galaxy S3 but with O2 contract SIM.

The S3 should read the details off the SIM automatically for the correct apn settings. I'd try removing the SIM and restarting the phone. If still not working then text "Active" to 2020, save and apply settings then reboot the phone. Do you have MMS enabled on your account?

Have you got your media messages set up?  Try texting ACTIVE to 2020 to see if you get your message settings sent to your phone again.

I've used MMS before on this contract. My APN settings are mobile.o2.co.uk for internet and O2 Pay Monthly MMS (wap.o2.co.uk). Sent ACTIVE to 2020 but had no reply

May be best to call CS and have MMS re provisioned on your account. Sounds like it has got itself confused....
