Support for MMS Android devices is standard, as is SMS. There are still phone owners who prefer to use the multimedia messaging system rather than the usual instant messengers. They are not afraid of the monthly fee, the deterioration of the quality of the picture. Usually, the package of mobile Internet and media file transfer should be configured automatically when a SIM card is connected. But if this didn’t happen, it’s worth taking the time to figure out why file transfer doesn’t work and how to set up mms on Android.

The only reason for the lack of settings may be that your SIM card has a long expiration date. Usually, when you insert it into an Android phone, two things happen:

• an Internet access point is created;
• a message passing point is created.

Since new SIM cards contain all the necessary information in advance, they themselves are configured via the GSM network. It is enough to insert the card into the phone and turn it on.

If your SIM card was bought a long time ago, then the Android device will not be able to independently determine itself in the operator's network. In this case, you will have to debug your Android device. To do this, you can go to the nearest salon of the cellular network.

Various settings

You need to create a point for transmitting mms messages, for this you need to study the menu. First you need to go to the phone options and find the item “More” or “Communication settings”, perhaps there will be a different name. Now you need to find the item "Mobile network" and select it. After that, the system will display a list of possible settings related to the mobile network to which the SIM card is linked.

Among them, you should find the line "Access Points (APN)". With the help of this item, an mms transfer point will be created. Having opened the menu, you need to select the item "New access point". If you see that an access point already exists, but messages with media files are still not transferred to Android, then you need to delete it and create a new one.

When creating an access point on an Android device, you will need to specify some parameters:

• proxy;
• login (username);
• password;
• server;
• MMSC;
• port;
• protocol;
• authentication type (optional).

Settings options for different carriers

They are valid for subscribers in Moscow and the Moscow region, more accurate data for your region can be obtained from the website of your operator.

The required values ​​are listed in order according to the list of settings:

To send mms, you need to add a media file to a regular text message. It can be a picture, music or video.

Remember that MMS is much more expensive than SMS, so check your account balance before sending anything. Setting up mms on Android is not difficult and quite fast. At the same time, you should pay attention to applications that allow you to send pictures and videos much cheaper.

Hello! MMS for iPhone owners... not needed. After all, there are iMessage, WhatsApp, Viber and other instant messengers! That's what I thought exactly until the moment when I needed to send a multimedia message to a happy person who does not have all these "newfangled programs". Well, okay, the iPhone can send mms? Can! So there shouldn't be any problems. Let's send now!

I unlock my phone, open messages, add a photo there, and with a perfect movement press the send message button. And... the result is negative - nothing was sent. I try a few more times - the effect is exactly the same as from any smartphone on the Android operating system. You can do it - it's useless.

Why did this happen? Let's figure it out now, let's go!

MMS does not “leave” - or maybe the whole thing is not in the iPhone?

First of all, you need to "sweep" the common problems associated with sending multimedia SMS. Pay attention to:

How to exclude and check all these points at the same time? It is enough to perform one simple action - you need to put another SIM card in your iPhone and try to send a multimedia message. Did not work out? Let's go further.

Check iPhone settings - are MMS enabled there?

There is not much to check:

Opened and see empty lines? So you have to enter the data manually. In order not to look for a long time, here are the mms settings in the iPhone for different mobile operators.

Big three - MTS, Megafon, Beeline

Yota and Tele2

After making and saving all the parameters, do not forget to restart the iPhone.

"IMessage must be enabled to send MMS" error

This is exactly the problem I faced. When trying to send an MMS, a warning sign popped up:

Unable to send message. To send this message, iMessage must be enabled.

Mms had to lose their former popularity. But this did not happen for various reasons: firstly, not all people have access to the Internet, and secondly, sending MMS messages is much faster than in any messenger.

Picture messages open in the same way as text. If the sent file is not displayed, you need to look additionally at the settings for receiving and transmitting MMS messages.
