I can't get MMS to work on my Nexus 4 phone. I have the new data plan activated and working.

I added the suggested changes of:

c) Your MMS settings may be incorrect. They should be as follows:
APN: rogers-core-appl1.apn
MMSC: http://mms.gprs.rogers.com
MMS Proxy: mmsproxy.rogers.com
MMS Port: 80
APN Type: Default
APN Protocol: IPv4/IPv6
APN Roaming Protocol: IPV4/IPv6

No go …. I just see 'sending' and the message never gets sent.

I tried deleting and re-adding the APN. Still no luck with MMS. My current APN is:

Name Untitled (default)
APN: rogers-core-appl1.apn
Proxy not set (default)
Port not set (default)
Username not set (default)
Password not set (default)
Server not set (default)
MMSC: http://mms.gprs.rogers.com
MMS Proxy: mmsproxy.rogers.com
MMS Port: 80
MCC 302 (default)
MNC 720 (default)
Authentication Type not set (default)
APN Type: Default
APN Protocol: IPv4/IPv6
APN Roaming Protocol: IPV4/IPv6
APN enable/disable X (default - and greyed out)
Bearer not specified (default)
MVNO type (default)
MVNO value not set (default - and greyed out)

Can't even receive MMS messages, now I noticed that iMessage and Facetime won't activate.

How is everyone else doing with the data add-on with their iPhone?

I have an unlocked iPhone 5 bought from Apple and have a value data plan, everything works with the correct APN profile installed but can't get MMS working. I read that Rogers iPhones work with data and MMS out-of-the-box without any profiles being installed.

It seems like I'm pooched if I can't add the mms settings. I used a cut down regular SIM card, maybe if I purchase a micro SIM it will have all the info on the chip?

Thanks.

According to Speakout, MMS is now available, but at $0.50 per message.

Are you able to at least receive MMS? Get someone else to send you an SMS with a picture attachment.

For the iphone, is your Settings -> Messages -> MMS Messaging turned on?

Ok, thanks. I would guess the APN settings are programmed into the phone.

I would suggest that the cut down SIM card has no bearing on this. The SIM is the means to connect but not to or for specific programs.

MMS historically, was never supported by Speakout. Not sure if that has changed recently.
