02 MMS/WAP settings for Hero

At long last!!!!!!!!!!!!! It works!!!!

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:

NAME: O2 UK Postpay
APN: wap.o2.co.uk
PROXY: <Not set>
PORT: <Not set>
USERNAME: O2wap
PASSWORD: password
SERVER: http://mmsc.mms.o2.co.uk:8002
MMSC: http://mmsc.mms.o2.co.uk:8002
MMS: PROXY 193.113.200.195
MMS: PORT 8080
MCC: 234
MNC: 10
APN TYPE: <Not set>

Press 'Menu' and select 'Save'.

3. Now restart phone again.
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
"connection failed due to incorrect APN setting"

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME BEFORE MY HEAD EXPLODES!!!!!!!

P.S. I have a unlocked Orange Hero and i'm on o2 PAYG
