Can't send MMS Messages (on 02 with XDAiis)

[jsedit]

HI everyone,

I'm figuring as I'm about to turn 30, this is to do with just being too old to deal with technology anymore. Gonna need a five year to sort this out soon...

Anyway, I'm having problems sending MMS messages on my XDAiis with O2 (pay monthly).

I've been to the o2 website, which quite un-helpfully doesn't have the settings for my phone, rather the X1. But assuming they're similar, I inputted as they said.

Problem is, the messages just time out and drop into the drafts folder.

Can anyone give me any clues? I've turned off Bluetooth and wireless and nothing improves. I've tried being hooked to the net, and nothing improves.

Quite frankly, it's way past me.

Thanks in advance.

Jsedit.

The settings are automatically input along with the web/wap settings. If you can't use mms its likely your account isn't provisioned for it. You'll need to ring O2 and ask them to activate it from their side.

Hi,

First off, thanks for the response.

I called 02 - and spoke to a nice, helpful girl (who it turns out, has her birthday 10 days before mine - doesn't mean much, but I do like a service that puts up with my chatty days!)

Anyway, she reminded me that you have to set up the connections option through the O2 active part of the XDAiis. So all I had to do was go into that (Active Menu, Tools, Connections, and choose UK, PostPaid and GPRS - and it should all work).

I'm currently trying to send something out... will not hit submit till I have an outcome..........

Wait till you get into your 30's! Remember it's not your age thats the problem, it's just technology is getting more difficult!
Anyway, i had the same problem with sending MMS but i've had the IIs install without the O2 UI. Check these settings:

Goto 'messaging' tap 'tools' at the bottom of the screen, tap MMS Settings.
On the 'Preferences' tab make sure it says MMS Network in the drop down box, tick the box's in that tab to whatever you want.
Next touch the 'servers' tab make sure it says O2UK at the top of that box, tap that O2UKand it will open to the settings, make sure they read:

Server name:
O2UK

Gateway:
193.113.200.195

Port number:
9201

Server address:
http://mmsc.mms.o2.co.uk:8002

Sending size limitation:
100k

Touch ok, exit messaging

Next, from the today screen, touch 'start' 'settings' touch the 'connections' tab, touch 'connections' on that screen you should have 2 lots of settings:
'My work settings' and 'My isp' touch 'Manage existing connection' in the 'My isp' section. Make sure you have a setting in the 'modem' tab section saying something like 'MOBILE WEB GPRS'.

Go back to the settings 'tasks' page, touch the 'advanced' tab select 'select network' on that page make sure the bottom drop down box (programs that connect to a private network should connect using) says 'My isp'

Exit and return to the today screen and try again.

Phew! Hope that helps, time to make a brew!!
