MMS not working after I unlocked my s iii - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Wondering why my unlocked s iii isn't able to receive picture messages. I don't know much about apn 's but I was able to get the data working after I did the SIM unlock. Only issue now is mms. Any help?

Correct your APN settings. You will probably need an additional APN for MMS as well as one for regular data.

Changing the mode from gsm to umts doesn't matter. Your sms function should still work. You can change this mode by going to system setting press more than mobile network.
Just factory restore your phone from settings. Make sure you backup your data first.
Hope this helps.

Thank you for your quick answer,
unfortunate it did not work. I tried the sim card in an other phone and it did not work there either so it´s the sim card that´s the problem, apparently very unusual according to my service provider. Thy will send me a new sim card and that will take care of the problem.
Thank you

I have now tested the sim card in another phone and it did not work to send sms only recive.
Got a reply from Sammy. They said go to message settings and input the carrier SMS number which they provided to me. Did so and everything now works.

So the problem is either the sim card or your network provider.

I've had this issue on SGS (going back to GB) and SG3 with 2 different providers Vodafone sand Orange and different roms. No one was able to fix it, not their service, not XDA. My fix Go SMS Pro. Something about having a higher priority.

Try changing your network settings. From CDMA/lte to CDMA only.
Some have problems and some don't. It may be a network issue as many Sprint forums complain about it
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
What you need to do is go to the stock messaging app and go to the settings and uncheck auto receive mms. Then when you get a mms go into the stock messaging app and click download. That'll fix it

I'm having the same issue, where I cannot send nor receive MMS messages. I tried changing the network type and unchecking the "auto-receive" setting and using the "download" buttons in the actual message but to no avail.
If anyone has any other ideas (other than contacting Sprint) please let me know! It's strange that it only affects some users and not others.
Thank you in advance!
If you are on cm10 or 10.1 then sprint can't help you.
So don't waste your time.
You can try sending a MMS to yourself. That's one of the first things i do when i flash an aosp rom. It might hang for me 1 out of 20 MMS.

Can you describe exactly what the problem is? Is the picture just not going through at all?
MMS
I can't get MMS to work either. I flashed the unofficial cm 10.1 rom and just yesterday I flashed the cyanogenmod black 10.1 rom. Now i've tried other suggested fixes and they don't work. I downloaded go sms on both roms and i can send and receive mms, but for some reason I can't do it in the stock apps. This leads me to believe that its not an issue with the network but rather the stock app. Am I correct? I usually use go sms but I like the fact that with the stock app i can pull down the notification bar and just push reply from there and get a little pop up window.
BTW when I uncheck auto-receive it just shows me that I have a mms message but it won't download. This is the only issue I've had so far with cm 10.1. I don't want to go back to a sense rom.
Galaxy Nexus - Same MMS Problem on LTE only... 3g ok
Tried cm10, pa3, and EOS 4 all have the same issue when sending/receiving MMS while on a LTE.
Everything works great on 3g.
Compared the the APNs for EOS and the stock OTA 4.2.1 from sprint (which mms via LTE work) and they look the same.
So whats broken with all these roms?
You guys should try this. Back in the day ,pre-android era, whenever I had issues with text I would send one to myself and that would fix it! So I sent myself an mms and that fixed it for me. Also try sending it through goSMS maybe and then uninstall the app if you don't like it. Keep in mind that I am able to receive MMS through goSMS just not the stock app. Good Luck!!

I've tried all the quick and not so quick fixes offered so far including yours and none including yours work... sorry. The problem is with the ROM(s) which most assuredly are not based on the official OTA 4.2.1 from Sprint. I know this because mms works on the official OTA from sprint for either wifi, 3g, and LTE. So until the rom devs decide to fix this problem we are not going to be able to send/recieve mms on LTE.
Hmm

So you don't even get mms on 3rd party apps?... I couldn't get them on the stock app but goSMS would received them without me having to mess with any of the settings.

I was having issues as well that were resolved with a clean install of 10.1 4.2.2 (2/15) build. In fact, no issues what so ever, try that.

Did you ask in that thread? Most likely others who are experienced with that ROM will have a better chance of knowing/addressing this issue. Some people here in this forum aren't even rooted. I'd try there...

[Q] Can't Send Picture Message running Cyanogenmod 10.2

HELP PLEASE! This is really annoying but I can't send pictures. All it does is it just says sending... then when I tried turning off WIFI I couldn't go to any site cause it says that I don't have data connection. Is there a way to fix this? If there's a post to fix this could you please post it here.
There is no fix because mms will only send over a mobile data connection and not over WiFi

Is group messaging actually turned on in settings? It might also be that group messaging is still partially broken there, I'm not sure
