Have you been able to send and receive pics before? Or have you had this prob since owning the device?

If the latter, I believe you have to first send a MMS (on o2) before your number is configured to receive them. You need the following settings:

servername: O2UK
gateway: 193.113.200.195
port number: 9201
server address: http://mmsc.mms.o2.co.uk:8002

find it in: messaging > MMS > Menu > MMS Configuration > "Servers" tab.

You should see "O2UK" listed, if not click new and create an "O2UK" account using settings above. If you do have O2UK listed then tap on it and check the details as above.

hi im using a new sim card with my exec so could it need activating?
i can get on the net ok, when some one sends me a pic it comes as a normal text and says log on to o2 to view your pic.

I think o2 are a bit like vodafone on this one. Until you've sent an MMS, they don't know you're phone is capable of MMS, hence you get links to your pics on their website.

Obviously you say you are having problems sending, so check your settings for MMS as posted above (you can also try port number "8080"). If they are correct, it might be worth giving o2 a ring, but in the meantime, if you have another MMS mobile, pop the sim in there and try to send an MMS. Once you've successfully sent one, the ones you receive should come through as intended.

Have you installed the corporate install rather than the personal/basic option?

I had the corporate settings and couldn't send or receive mms. When I rang O2 we went through all the possible settings before trying a hard reset and a personal install. After that mms worked fine. Unfortunately the engineer couldn't tell me which extra software was installed, which enabled mms. :(

Ah yes, forgot about that option. If you don't have any MMS folders under messaging it's likely you've set a corporate install (or has been preset for you).

If you have no MMS folders then you need to install another part of the rom.

First get Total Commander (good file explorer lets you access device rom files) from here:

http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm

you need the "tcmdpocketarm" download. Download, connect your xda to the pc then run & install.

Run Total Commander on your xda. In the top line of the progam where you see a "\", delete it all and type "\extended_rom\"

A list of rom files will appear.

Select one like "CAB_Shortcut_O2..." and select open, or run.

This will install the MMS folders and the nicer O2 phone dialler screen (and a couple of other bits, but still not *all* the o2 cr*p). Follow all prompts, then soft reset.

Under messaging you should now find an MMS folder along with "Text Messages" and "Outlook Email".

This helped me get back the MMS folders and settings, after which all was ok.

ok after talking to o2 3 times i get some one else on the phone and he said the mms had been removed from my sim card so he has set it up again, if some one now sends me a mms msg it comes in to my mms inbox and says downloading but after a bit it says my msg could not be received, same if i try to send a pic it says sending but after 3 times it says your msg could not be sent and puts it in my outbox.

the settings in the mms configuration/servers are the same as wot has been posted on ere.
wot box's should i tick in the preferances ?

I am having the same problem. I am in corporate mode setting but do have MMS in my Outlook section. The configuration is as stated above but it fails to download after 3 attempts.
Anyone have any other ideas?
