Can't send or receive MMS messages

Possible solution.
I Had the same problem and will never purchase another unlocked phone. You can always attach a picture and send mms message which works fine in its current status.
I had this problem monthly and am now an "expert".
Go to your settings and copy down all the network settings. Maybe copy and paste the mmsc so you don't have to manually enter it.Delete all the entries. Then save changes. I usually restart the phone then reenter all the data and it works fine.

This is what my settings are (and it works for me):

Name: MetroPCS LTE
APN: fast.metropcs.com
Proxy: not set
Port: not set
Username: not set
Password: not set
Server: not set
MMSC: http://metropcs.mmsmvno.com/mms/wapenc
MMS proxy: not set
MMS port: not set
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
Authentication type: not set
APN type: default,mms,supl
APN protocol: IPv4
APN roaming protocol: IPv4
Bearer: unspecified
MVNO type: None

Hope this works out for you!
I was having this same problem and this totally fixed my issue but you have to reset your phone after to get it to work. Thanks

I have an Unlocked HTC Desire 610 from AT&T that i use on MetroPCS (with T-mobile network APN) and it stopped sending/receiving MMS messages. I fixed it and here's how I did it in my APN Settings:
Name: MetroPCS
APN: fast.t-mobile.com
Proxy: Not set
Port: Not set
Username: Not set
Password: Not set
Server: Not Set
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMS Proxy: Not set
MMS Port: 80
MMS Protocall: WAP 2.0
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
Authentication Type: Not set
APN Type: default,mms,supl,hipri
Bearer: Unspecified

The only thing i had changed was adding the MMSC of http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc and my APN Type was originally set to default,supl,hipri . Adding the mms to the APN type was what fixed it for me. Hope I can help any future inquiries of this question with this post.
OMG, THANK YOU! THIS WORKED FOR ME ALSO! I can note receive AND send MMS now. The only thing different on my Galaxy S5 from Verizon is that there's no MMS Protocol to enter WAP 2.0. I was worried, but turns out I didn't need it. I haven't sent an mms in over 6 months until now.

I have an unlocked ATT HTC One M8 for Metro and I'm noticing that I can't send nor receive MMS messages even with 4g lte on. I tried using Metro and T-Mobile's MMSC on the APN but neither worked. Is there something wrong/missing from my APN?

Name: metropcs
APN: fast.t-mobile.com
Proxy: not set
Port: not set
Username: not set
Password: not set
Server: not set
MMSC: http://mms/msg/eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMS proxy: not set
MMS port: not set
MMS protocol: WAP 2.0
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
Authentication type: not set
APN type: default,supl,mms
Bearer: unspecified
I have a GalaxyS5. Try setting the Bearer to LTE. That worked for me. Good luck.
