Hi. I have a Samsung Galaxy Portal unlocked but originally on T mobile. I can't seem to get MMS settings from anywhere. O2 don't support the phone and for some reason it won't recieve texts from Samsung. Can anybody help please?

thanks Michael. Unfortunately no luck. There are some further options though:
MMC set to 234
MNC set to 10
APN type set to internet
Authentification Type set to normal (PAP)

are these correct/do they matter??

web browsing and texting works fine, just pictures that won't work. Any ideas

thanks again

"APN type set to internet"

Mine says "Internet + mms" - this may be of note! MCC / MNC are the same as yours, authentication is "none."

As an aside, this is the Galaxy forum, not the Galaxy Portal forum. Different phone.
