Help Receiving MMS messages on 3UK

[deanshep85]

ok this is REALLY starting to get my blood boiling...I've tried a whole host of well....3 different settings for the APN for the bloody thing on 3 and NONE of them bloody let me receive mms but will let me send..

is there any other 3 users here who CAN receive?

and before someone says it...yes I've spoken to 3..hell they sent me settings and they are EXACTLY the same as im finding also on their forum...and even on here...though it was regarding a hero not a desire but the settings section is identical anyway...

Not a solution mate but I know where your coming from I've had problems with mms before and its really annoying.
I just use WhatsApp now, cheaper cos it comes off your data and it works!

I can't really see that working...because if the core settings for MMS don't work...then how would you receive mms? not unless where you mention *comes off your data* really means its downloaded through a seperate entity more akin to sending something through say MSN...then that really defeats the whole point of using MMS....

Whatsapp is an instant messaging app, I only really sent pics and stuff to the mrs so I got her to install it on her blackberry so we can send pics and files through that rather than mms.

see, some of the folks who send me things are often on feature phones an whatnot...I had toyed with the idea of using an IM program like ping to send pics to people I know an vice versa..BUT it still doesn't solve my problem though...

anyway else got any ideas bout the CORRECT 3 mms settings?

those are the settings in question....I cant run mms with them...I can send but not receive...same as alot of others..those are also the exact settings that come up in numerous threads of others having troubles with no real rhyme or reason to it :/

I've bolded an extra setting that I also have. If this is missing from yours too then maybe that's the problem?
