The MMS function is supported by many modern phone models. The ability to send multimedia messages allows mobile phone users to share with each other their impressions of a vacation, a walk, or wish them a good mood along with a beautiful melody or an interesting picture. This function is now actively used by those subscribers who own older cell phone models. Multimedia messages are also convenient when it is not possible to use more modern methods of transmitting information - Wi-Fi and WhatsApp.

Articles and Lifehacks
To answer the question accurately, how to set up MMS, as well as the question, you need to know what mobile operator you have, region, what operating system is on your smartphone, and in some cases, what mobile phone. For example, the iPhone 2G does not directly support this type of multimedia messages, so it requires special settings. In most cases, if you bought a modern telephone and inserted a new SIM card, then everything should already be configured by default. But, of course, there are exceptions, and not everyone can or wants to buy new mobile phones. Therefore, we will describe how to set up MMS on a mobile phone.
Instructions for setting up MMS
Let's consider cases with the most popular cellular operators. If you have Android and the telecom operator MTS, then you need to configure it through the menu options. Click "Settings", then "Wireless Networks", then "Internet Access Points" and "Create APN". Enter the name: MTS MMS center. And where is the APN: mms.mts.ru. MMSC – http://mmsc. APN type – mms. Login, password – mms. The proxy address is 192.168.192.192, port is 8080. And send an MMS message to the toll-free number 8890.
Megafon offers to configure MMS automatically, send an SMS to the number 5049, and save the received settings in your phone. If automatic mode does not work, you can configure the phone yourself. For example, Megafon in the Moscow region needs to be configured like this. URL – http://mmsc:8002, APN – mms, Name – mms, Password – mms, Proxy address – 10.10.10.10, port – 8080.
If MMS is not configured
If neither automatic nor manual setup works for you, you need to call the hotline of your mobile operator and ask them about the procedure. You can also use the official website; as a rule, there should be a “MMS” section, where a detailed algorithm for setting it up for different types of phones is described. We also want to say that for modern smartphones (many devices, by the way, are now using ) the value of MMS has dropped significantly, since it is much easier and cheaper to use email than to bother with limited, expensive and inconvenient MMS.
In the vast majority of cases, when installing a new SIM card, the smartphone automatically receives MMS and mobile Internet settings. But sometimes failures may occur, resulting in the user having to manually set the necessary parameters. In this article we will tell you how to set up MMS on Android.
To open MMS settings, you must perform the following steps:
Step 1. Launch the application Settings and select the section " SIM cards and mobile networks».
Step 2. Select the SIM card for which you want to set up MMS.
Step 3. Click the button Access points».
Step 4. Select an access point for MMS and in the next window, set the parameters necessary for correctly receiving and sending multimedia messages.
MMS hotspot settings vary among different mobile operators. To save your time, we have collected links to the appropriate MMS settings for gadgets running Android from the largest providers in Russia and neighboring countries:
How to send MMS from Android

In modern smartphones, everything is much simpler: you just need to attach, for example, a photo to a text message so that it is automatically converted into a multimedia message. This also works in the opposite direction - by removing all multimedia files from the created MMS, you will turn it into an SMS message.
