Hi All,

I spoke to o2 about this a week or so ago. It turns out that only one of the 500 or so carriers that are under the 02 banner can support MMS and GPRS. So if you have GPRS ( like me I guess most people with an XDA do) you will not be able to send MMS even if your settings are right. :evil:

You can move to the carrier (who's name I have forgotten but will try to find), but you have to cancel you current contract and take out a new one. You also have to port you phone number, even thought you are staying with o2!! :x

If someone can tell me otherwise please do. As I do not really want to move my number/tariff as it is soooooooo much grief.

One last point. If you speak to o2 they will tell you that MMS on the XDA is not final and is not recommended by them as "It does not function to our customers expectations". Or at all in my case, so I cannot say if it does or not.

Gil,

You have it the wrong way round. There is only 1 or 2 carriers within O2 that does not support mms and gprs (web) togther.

but...

If you tell your carrier you have an xda and want mms then they will probably refuse as O2 are not supporting xda with mms yet.

Whilst we do understand what you mean, use the term 'service provider' instead of 'carrier'. O2 ARE the carrier, as they handle the telco functions of connecting calls, and 'carrying' your voice signals. You're service provider provide the billing and customer support faclities. O2 as a carrier do support MMS, but the service provider may not have integrated support for billing it yet. Most do now.

Why don't you just say you've bought a 7650 and that you want mobileweb and MMS together?

At least they can't argue that the 7650 isn't supported... right?!?!

[Grim_Evil]

yeah, i will see what they say tommorrow

Hi again,

This may be of intrest, or maybe not. I had a long e-mail conversation with a guy at o2 and these are the high-lights...

1: "Please be aware that O2 do not currently support MMS on the xda because it does not function to the standard required for satisfying customer usage. This is despite what may have been posted to various web fora."

2: Any support we give to that is a 'best efforts' effort (sorry for the poor grammar there) and with the explicit understanding that if it does not work, or otherwise fails to meet expectations, there's currently nothing much we can do about it (because it's not passed or, therefore, marketed as a working service...)

3:I see from your billing provider that there may be an issue about having both MMS and the GPRS Mobile web service at the same time - they will be able to confirm whether this will be a problem or not. It depends which system they use to sort the billing details.

Again, let me know if you hit problems. We will not be able to resolve that one if you hit it - it will be a case of choosing web access or MMS - but we at least can advise you of the reasons and your options.


All of the above points are from direct conversation with o2 GPRS and WAP guys. I have also spoken to the carrier and again they have said that they cannot support bith GPRS and MMS. I will try to find the details of the carrier that do.

If any one finds out if there is a way of doing both with out moving provider let me know!!

GPRS Mobile Web is a totally different barrel of fish from MMS. The GPRS Mobile Web APN doesn't (to the information that I have been given) support MMS, but if you connect the MMS client through the GPRS Wap APN, it will work perfectly fine.

Just setup EZOS 2.5 to connect through the GPRS Wap connection, instead of the GPRS Mobile Web. I can send & recieve MMS via my XDA using the above setup, and still use Interent Explorer to connect to the INternet via the GPRS Mobile Web connection.
