Hmm, the MMS settings arent working for me. The internet has been fine, but I cant send or receive MMS's. I have triple checked the details here...any thing else I should check out or try? I have a simplicity contract with O2.
Read further on down though as there is advice on using 'Handscent.app' to resize images etc so that they can reduced in file size for sending using O2.
Remember that I am also using an ex-orange phone on a simplicity contract.
Goodluck!

I have successfully used these on a milestone with working full size MMS, this is the result of about a years worth of switching handsets & trying every list of settings listed on the net....
Requires 2 lots of settings:
NAME : O2 UK APN : wap.o2.co.uk PROXY : [LEAVE BLANK] PORT : [LEAVE BLANK] USERNAME : o2wap PASSWORD : password SERVER : [LEAVE BLANK] MMSC :http://mmsc.mms.o2.co.uk:8002 MMS PROXY : 193.113.200.195 MMS PORT : 8080 MCC : 243 MNC : 10 AUTHENTICATION TYPE : [LEAVE BLANK] APN TYPE : [LEAVE BLANK]
NAME : 02payandgo APN : payandgo.o2.co.uk PROXY : [LEAVE BLANK] PORT : [LEAVE BLANK] USERNAME : vertigo PASSWORD : password SERVER :[LEAVE BLANK] MMSC : [LEAVE BLANK] MMS PROXY : [LEAVE BLANK] MMS PORT : [LEAVE BLANK] MCC : 234 MNC : 10 AUTHENTICATION TYPE : [LEAVE BLANK] APN TYPE : [LEAVE BLANK]
Here are a few tips if you have problems with MMS
1: If you have a T-mobile sim, insert this & send a picture message, then switch back to your O2 sim.
2: If you have an iphone sim insert this then request settings by sending the word "mms" to 1010 - you will get an error saying only available on iphone, insert your regular sim back.
The MMS issues are not with Android, they happen because there is a white list of supported handsets at O2. if youe phone is not one of they sell/support they will resize your pictures to a tiny thumbnail size.
There is a APN mms app that tricks O2 servers into thinking your phone is a Nokia or Iphone, I will did it out & upload soon.....
Wow...sounds like youve been hard at it. So are these in addition to the web browsing settings, or should I replace what I have for both with the ones youve detailed??
If you are on pay as you go then these are the only settings you need.
I can confirm these as working 100% for me, any more settings would just confuse & possibly not work.
These are all you need for PAYG. For contract or simplicity you may need different settings....
It's starting to get really annoying now....eh Magicmat??
I can have either MMS or Internet working but not both at the same time. Also noticed that when you put the 'mobile web' settings in a selection button appears beside it that goes green once selected. Can anybody shed some light on this as the 'O2 MMS' settings don't bring up one.
It just seems strange that I can have both MMS and WEB working but not both at the same time. Been playing around with the order that the settings are input into the phone but it doesn't make any difference.
One thing is for sure, if you revert back to the settings at the top of this page, 'O2 MMS' definitely work for sending and receiving. When my phone receives an MMS the mobile widget on my phone turns on to receive it and picks up an 'H' connection, then switches off again.
I now have one set of fully working settings for both MMS and internet. I thought they would not send my MMS to begin with but I had to turn the 'Mobile Network' setting on and it worked straight away.
This worked for me so you may as well copy what I did.
1. Delete all of your existing APN settings and restart your phone.
2. Input these APN settings:
WELL DONE!!! That seems to be working for both! You can have todays gold star! Thats awesome. This might be worth a sticky, or a new post, so that everyone can find it easily!
This was originally designed for the Hero, then adapted to the Nexus one.
Not had chance to test it yet as I am currently waiting on delivery of a Hero...
To be honest mate, I'm still waiting on my Hero so not too sure, I got it from the Nexus section of another website possibly XDA...
Hold back for now & I'll bring more details.

4. Switch on 'Mobile Network' and test it. Should work perfectly!!!
As mentioned before, in order to send/receive large images you may have to use 'Handscent' but I have not tested it yet.
Hope that cheers you up Magicmat!!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! Hey guys!! I have been looking for a solution to this problem for such a long time (since christmas day 2009 actually). I have tried all of the above and when i connect to the mobile internet it says
