Add MMS APN to Unlocked 8X

I bought a Verizon 8X because it's unlocked, and I took it with me overseas and put in another SIM card. I am able to make phone calls and go on the Internet; the only thing I cannot do is SMS and MMS. When I go into settings to add Internet APN or MMS APN, it does not save my settings. Can somebody help me figure this out? Am I missing something, or is there a Verizon restriction even though it's unlocked?

I'm in a similar situation excepting that I can't access the internet even though I'm using my old sim card here in Germany. Would be interested in knowing if anyone else has had the same problem.

"Add MMS APN" option?

Hi Verizon,
I'm looking to configure my Verizon HTC 8X (Windows Phone) to work with an international SIM I bought. I was told to configure the MMS APN settings from the Settings > Cellular menu, but I cannot find the "Add MMS APN" button. Am I missing something? Has it been removed from Verizon phones?
Thanks,
-Julien

Hey Arnett -- Unfortunately the international carrier has referred me to VZW once more. I'm currently in the US and I cannot get MMS to work on my 8X with this sim card. However, I can confirm that the sim card is not the issue -- I've plugged into other VZW phones and it worked fine only after I changed the MMS APN settings on these other phones.
The VZW 8X I have does not seem to have the option of changing the MMS APN settings (even though 8Xs on other carriers do, as I mentioned previously).
Thanks for your assistance,
-Julien

UNABLE TO ADD MMS APN

Do anyone know why you are Verizon HTC 8X will not save your mms apn settings?

Hi spizza,
There actually should be no need to adjust your MMS APN settings. Are you having trouble with your picture messaging? Any error messages? You can also reach us on Twitter @vzwsupport for more immediate assistance.
Thank you

How to add mms and apn in ios 6.1.3

I can not figure out how to use the iphone configuration utility. Where and how do i enter the mms proxy, mms, apn and so on so i can fully use straighttalk. I know nothing about this stuff at all, it was so much easier on ios 4.3.5.

Once your device is already updated to iOS 7 you can no longer downgrade it from the previous version. If you have partially downloaded or it was just completed and prompting you to install if there will be option. Simply go to Gen>reset>erase all contents and settings. This will restore your device to its original factory settings activate your device using apple I'd via wifi or sync to iTunes using apple I'd.

Lumia 900 MMS APN

Hello,
I am trying to help someone that is using a Lumia 900. They are not able to send or receive MMS messages. They are on an MVNO that operates on the ATT network. There is no place to add an MMS APN in the phone. I know that there are applications that people say will work. I would prefer to add the APN manually. I found posts that say that I can do the following.
Go to the phone app
Dial ##634# and click Send
When prompted for a password type 277634#*#
You should now be at "Factory Menu"
Choose "Engineer Menu"
Choose "Other Setting"
Verify that "Set ADC" is set to Enable
From the "Other Setting" page, choose "Set network profile"
You should now be on the "Set network profile" page and in the bottom half of the window you should see a list of *.xml files. These appear to be the network configuration files.
Choose "_PROV_ATT_US_310_410.xml"
Can anyone confirm that this method works? Does it change any settings other than the APNs?
Can someone post a copy of the xml text so that I can see if before making the change?
Thanks!

Settings > accesspoint should have the option to add the MMS access point. Provided the phone is at WP 7.8
Actually the last available accesspoint version should set this automatically without the need for tinkering with an inherently dangerous option such as the service menu which really is not intended for 'personal use'. If you choose to go that way you're basically on your own.

Lumia 1020 no add Internet APN menu

I have a Lumia 1020 and the current carrier in the ABOUT section of the settings is Australia Model 909 windows 8.1 When setting up for ATT's Consumers Cellular, when I try to edit the Internet APN their is no add Internet APN menu selection under SIM settings. The selection reads : Network selection and the choice is ethier automatic or search for networks. I need some help, can this device be used in the USA.

Hi, WmBill. When you say "windows 8.1", does it run with the Lumia Cyan update? You may see it under the Settings > extras+info. Make sure that all system apps are updated by scanning the QR codes from this link: Nokia Windows Phone 8 App Updates. About your next concern, is your phone locked to your network operator? Are you located in Australia? Check if both countries have the same frequency bands, see: http://www.worldtimezone.com/gsm.html. Also, it is best to coordinate with your network operator to inquire if they have partnered with the service provider in the US so that you may be able to use their services.
Keep us posted. BTW, we appreciate your visit here on our forum.

Nokia Lumia 928 MMS issues on unlocked device

I'm a Finnish guy and using Elisa as a carrier.
I got the chance to purchase unlocked Lumia 928 with a decent price so I checked its specifications (GSM Arena site) and also found out it could be used internationally.
It seemed to be a brilliant phone (and it sure is) so I purchased it.
But now I'm facing the problem with the MMS messages. All settings are just OK and I can send MMS messages successfully but I cannot receive them. The phone announces that "you've received a message which has media content" but when I try to open the media content, nothing happens.
This seems to be quite common problem (at least when I'm reading those most popular Windows Phone discussion forums) but I haven't found a solution to it. Someone has just said that because the phone is made for a particular carrier, it has "specialities" in its firmware. Well, the phone uses same MMS settings for sending and receiving MMS messages so how come MMS messages won't get thru to my phone correctly? I'd also like to know how the MMS firmware settiing are different between Lumia 925 and 928???
And most of all I'd like to get a remedy/solution to fix the problem from Nokia/Microsoft people Thanks a lot in advance!

Well, I suppose that even though Verizon has ordered these phones from Nokia, all the settings, applications and characteristics were preloaded to the phone at the factory. So in other words Verizon would've delivered preconfigured things to Nokia before the manufacturing process and would not start to fiddling around (=to install all the setting, apps and characteristics) when they received the phones from Nokia.
Therefore someone in Nokia/Microsoft must know the differencies between the stock firmware and the Verizon firmware, especially if we're now talking about these MMS issues. And I wanna know it. If I'd ask the same question from Verizon, they probably would not know the difference between those aforementioned firmware.
It's not rocket science, I guess it's just because of those preloaded/-configured differencies between the stock and the Verizon firmwares...

How to add private APN operator profile using Intune and OMA-URI

Hi
Is it possible to add to the Windows Phone 8 and 8.1 private APN operator profile using Microsoft Intune and OMA-URI ?
Thanks

No, the Enterprise Mobile Device Management client in Windows Phone 8 and 8.1 does not provide access to any CSP for configuring APN operator profile.

MMS, APN, OS 3.0 for India

Dear All,
Just couple of day back I have installed OS3.0. I am using Vodafone India service.
After installing this new OS, I am not able to see either APN setting or MMS sending option in my device.
can you please guide for the same?
Waiting for the reply
Regards
Jiggy

mms on my airtel worked like a charm since i updated to 3.0 and airtel always had mms for other phones...
so i am assuming that vodafone also has mms service for their customers..
it'll be best to call customer care of vodafone and ask them how to activate your mms on your iphone...
maybe you will be asked to send sms to some number...

Mms/ apn settings for nokia Lumia 520

Please help edit apn settings

Many APN settings are pre-installed with the Settings > access point options and if known you'll see your carrier access point there. If it is not tap it to activate. If the APN settings are not available in a preset you can enter the manually there as well by tapping the + icon at the bottom of the screen. What settings you need would usually be found on your carrier website or through their support.

Nokia 928. Latest win 8.1 software. Can not get MMS / picture / group messages

MMS on my Nokia 928 use to work. After an upgrade is doesn't work (? - could be a coincidence it happened after an upgrade?). I get the message "Get media content now." Tapping on the link doesn't do anything. Doesn't matter whether I'm using wi-fi or cellular data. If I go to Settings > Cellular+SIM > SIM Settings > add MMS APN, the fields are blank. At the microsoft support site it says to save your settings, but it doesn't tell you what these settings should be. The fields on this form are APN, User Name, Password, WAP gateway, WAP gateway port, etc, etc. Should this form be filled in? If so, what are the settings?
I need both picture messaging and group messaging. Right now it is broken.
Joel

HFGuy, We certianly know the importance of ensuring your MMS is working properly. Let's look into this. Do you notice this error occuring when you are connected to our 3G/4G LTE network or Wifi? Are you receiving this error message when trying to send MMS or receive? Also, can you please confirm the current software loaded on your Nokia 928?

820 mms not working

got an 820 a few weeks ago on an orange contract. Not been able to send or recieve mms, what do I do. I tried following instructions on the ee site but there wasn't enough data to input and it was all called wap which isn't on my access point menu. Please help this is driving me mad

I had this exact issue with my Orange pay monthly Nokia 820. Spent ages fiddling with the mms apn settings as per the orange/EE websites to no avail. In the end this is how I solved it -
- go to settings>mobile network>edit mms apn
- delete any existing apn's (if your phone menu says 'add mms apn' instead of 'edit mms apn' then skip this step)
- Go to settings>access point, select EE or Orange. This should automatically set up your phone correctly and away you go... Note: If you don't have access point in your settings menu, use your phone to scan the QR code attached to this message, this will take you to the 'access point' app, which you can download, and then it should appear.
If this doesn't work then it might be an issue with your account, in which case you will have to phone Orange

MMS T-Mobile Swap

After T-Mobile swap [for MMS APN change] Unlocked iPhone 4 shows no service and goes no further. The same for Simple Mobile Sims. This worked fine on my other Unlocked iPhone 4. Tried this 20 times with no luck. Need help

This is not an Apple issue. This is a T-Mobile issue. Contact T-Mobile if you can't get service on their network.
