Sending MMS on 3

Ben1900 · 20-08-2004, 20:18

i am happy with my NEC e313 and the network...

but i cannot seem to send mms (to any network), dispite having credit. i compose the message, add a picture, go to send and it says "Sending Message" then "Unable To Send Messages" comes up...

I have the same phone, does it work if you send a MMS to your own number. This will prove if the phone settings are correct.

If you want to send MMS on 3 the best thing to do is forget about it. They dont presently offer it. Maybe some day they will.

That's rubbish.

You should be able to send MMS to other 3 customers and also to people on O2 and Vodafone. Last I heard you can't send to Orange or T-Mobile, but that is because the other networks are being awkward because of how cheap MMS is on 3...

Check if you can send an MMS to yourself first. If you can't, then your settings must be wrong.

Wow must have finally gotten round to it after a year!

And its not so much a matter of T-Mobile and Orange being "awkward" as you put it. 3 uses the 3GPP standards for MMS which isnt widely supported yet.

I sent a picture from my Three phone to my girlfriend who uses Orange, and she received a text with an address on the Orange website to visit with a password. She visited that website and received the picture. It does work ...
