MMS would not work on AT&T until I did this. Hope this saves someone having a headache and wasting time with AT&T tech support like I did.
Settings > More > Internet Settings > click "Accept"
Thank you! This worked for me on T-Mobile. I upgraded my plan to Unlimited and lost MMS. This re-enabled MMS again.

I have my Verizon Eris activated on alltel, just used the ##PROGRAM menu to setup provisions to the alltel towers and configure the user/passwords for 3G data and them uploaded the alltel PRL with ##PRL and *228'd the phone and it's been perfect for over a month now, EXCEPT MMS.
I can't figure out a way to change the MMS addresses in messages settings, the MMS settings aren't anywhere in the MPST programming menus at all. If I go to the messages app and hit menu, I can find the MMS addresses in there, they're set to verizon of course, but I'm not given an option to change them...
Is there a way to change the MMS addresses without rooting? .. since the root hasn't been figured out yet.
not really that's an apn setting which has been removed out of the settings menu. once root comes we'll have that control again.
wow, glad im not the only one waiting for this...
I am on pageplus and in same boat. Everything works except mms.
thanks
When I go to messages and input my phone number, then connection settings, I am able to input Name, MMSC, MMS Proxy, MMS port, & MMS Protocol...

Are you sure you're able to input to those fields? They're all greyed out for me.

I'm 100% sure they are not greyed out. I noticed that when mobile data is ON, you don't have access to change your mms settings. When mobile data is switched off, you do...
I am on Cricket, so the settings I am experimenting with relate to that carrier. So far, I have not been successful in getting mms to work, but feel very close. If you have any ideas feel free to pm me.
Thanks

Disabling wireless does not "ungrey" those settings to edit. Even if I could edit, I wouldnt know what to use in them. Maybe this is something we need to wait for root to edit?
Sounds like it.

Well, on my Eris, I am able to input MMS info and I (of course) am not rooted.
Try this: Install the Quick Settings app from Market and turn off data settings from there. See if you get MMS edit capability after that.
The info I am using for Cricket is:
Name: Cricket MMS
MMSC: http://mms.mycricket.com/servlets/mms
MMS Proxy: 8080
MMS protocol WAP 2.0

Hello
I searched the forum about the topic, but no real answer. The problem is that, the MMS is disabled during being in roaming and having data switched off. Is there a way to make MMS messages working while the Internet data is switched off ?
Unfortunately, MMS requires a data connection.
I'm surprised, because on stock 2.1 ROM of desire it worked OK (internet data in roaming was blocked while mms messaging were working). Same thing I remember from WinMobile. Does anybody else is in peace with that mmsing is just not working in roaming ? No one did anything ?
okay. there is maybe solution for this, lookslike issue.
I did the same, that in Settings > Wireless & .. > Mobile networks > Data roaming - Unchecked to avoid data in roaming. So No Data, therefore no MMS. okay, no acceptable for me.
try this: in roaming(!) just un-check Settings > Wireless & .. > Mobile network (connect to internet) or in Statusbar menu in roll menu tap Quick settings and un-check Mobile network and then in Mobile networks menu (setting menu) check back Data roaming. So the MMS send and receive could be possible.
I understand this logic, as internet connection is something else than use MMS APN to communicate through mobile network data.

Hey all,
I was wondering if anyone has been able to disable the AT&T mobile network but still been able to get multimedia messages. From the home screen I push menu, settings, battery & data management, data delivery and uncheck data enabled.
While this does turn off my internet connection to AT&T, I cannot get mms messages from my buddies.
I was able to disable the internet on the htc inspire.
Not sure if this is just phone related or rom related. Im using the alien rom.

you need to be connected to AT&T with data enabled, thats how the message is downloaded lol.
If you're not connected to the ATT network, there's no way they can get a message to you. It's looking for your IMEI/ESN on the network to be able to transmit the information to your phone.
Then how come with my old inspire I could get mms while mobile network was turned off?
I have the 200 MB limit and I don't want to go over it... with the inspire it had an option to disable the internet from att. The only internet I had was with.

MMS needs data connection however AT&T text messaging plan includes data for MMS.
for internet browsing and apps you needs separate data plan. MMS will work (keep your phone's data connection enabled) with regular text messaging plan.

I would be okay with that if the data from the mms didn't count toward our data quota. That is the problem with the mms on our phones.

I am using the Atrix on T-Mobile US and I can tell you that for my carrier MMS data DOES NOT count towards data plan limit.

The data used to send an MMS message does not count towards your data plan quota on AT&T either.
I think you need to enable data using a mms only APN. Sorry, i'm not real good with APNs so i'm not sure what the settings need to be.

So, I have an unbranded unlocked N8 I bought from Best-Buy assigned to my VZW account that was missing the "Advanced Calling" menu in settings. My wife's branded VZW S8+ has this menu. I tried the guides for other carriers to unlock WifI and HD calling, but alas, none of them worked. (I did however get the camcorder in the phone dial pad, but it didn't do anything) *******Still working on WifI calling**********
I spent hours testing settings in the IMS config via the shortcut app, all with no luck.
TIP: I called big red (VZW) on the phone and told them I bought the phone from bestbuy (didn't mention it was the non carrier unlocked version) and that WifI and HD calling menu wasn't on my phone. She told me my IMS wasn't configured on their end and she would update it. (This did not affect my grandfathered unlimited data plan)
Steps:
1. Call VZW and tell them you dont have access to HD voice on your phone and need help.
2. They will update the IMS on their end.
3. Turn off WifI, turn on mobile data.
4. Reboot and profit.
Ive uploaded a SS of the new option which wasn't there before I called VZW.
*****WARNING****** I seem to have lost the ability in the shortcut app to access the IMS launcher settings. Not sure if the 83mb update I took today caused it or not. Just warning you. I can still get into WifI calling via the app, however, it still crashes every time I get into it.
(Yes I know I shouldn't have taken any updates while we wait on eng. code to be released. Oh well I guess. )

You can always flash back to stock then...as long as it is server side as soon as it provisions, you should still get the goods...and be back to stock...this update does not lock you in...congrats though...
Does your Wi-Fi calling still not work? That's my only hangup of going with the Verizon rom.

Nope; works out of the box with Sprint & T-Mobile; haven't tested my AT&T SIM
You can get into IMS Settings by using Nova Activity launcher; under DEBUG INFO > IMS Information all should be true; if not VoLTE isn't enabled on the account or provisioning isn't completed; this can be done with a simple reboot.
Also; IMS Service Switch, make sure VoLTE Video is on for video calling; if/when VZW uses universal RCS profile you will have access to "iMessage" like features which Sprint/T-Mobile can currently use.
The Sad thing is total wireless morons have no clue what an ims is...

Thanks for the guide. Unfortunately after recent official Oreo software update, can't get into IMS Settings using either Nova Activity Launcher/Shortcut maker or through any other app.
Is there any way to enable "IMS Service Switch" thereafter enable VoLTE so that VoLTE option would appear under Settings->Mobile Networks?
Please suggest.
Thanks.
Hi, I have a old sprint galaxy note 3 that was flashed to page plus years ago. everything from calls text and 3g data was working until this morning when I accidentally hit a "network settings reset".
Now I can still make calls and recieve text but the data/Internet is not connecting. I looked in my APN settings and see that the needed Page plus apn is gone. But the screen is also greyed out so I cannot edit it.
My phone is rooted if this helps but I am relitively new to this. So if anyone can please help me in sort of simple terms I would be so appreciative & would even donate to a paypal account for the help. I rely heavily on my hotspot so I would like to fix this. Page plus was of no help because the phone is flashed.

Did you try going in the Settings menu and changing the network settings?
